Video: The new OnBeat headphones charges your phone or tablet using solar power while you listen to music

You no longer have to be frustrated about your battery life while listening to music.

A Scottish audio engineer “Andrew Anderson” from Glasgow has created a range of headphones called OnBeat, that can charge phones and tablets using solar power.

The OnBeat headphones have a flexible solar cell built into the headband which captures energy from the sun, which is stored in two rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries in each

ear cup. The solar cell has a surface area of 55cm3 with a charge capacity of approximately 0.55W and is made from poly-crystalline silicone.

When a phone or tablet is plugged into the headphones, this stored energy can be used to charge the devices.

The phone doesn't charge through the headphone jack but through the headphones using a USB port.

He plans to raise £200,000 to fund the OnBeat project  from his Kickstarter campaign which has setup.

The Kickstarter campaign claims that this will 'keep your devices running all day' but the exact amount of charge is not listed.
