There are many gadgets on the market that have built-in prayer panels for the convenience of users to use them when outside, such as rugged activities, camping and so on. This gadget is usually a power bank, speaker and there has also been a set of headphones with solar built into the headband.
Recently Urbanista has come up with a new TWS named Phoenix, it is a TWS with a solar panel built into the charging pod.
Each earphone still needs to be inserted into the charging pod, as it does not support solar. This charging pod uses Powerfoyle solar panels manufactured by Exeger. Through this solar, the battery of the charging pod can last longer if exposed to sunlight. Phoenix can be used continuously for 8 hours and 32 hours with the charging pod. But for every hour it's exposed to sunlight, the battery will last an extra hour.
Phoenix also comes with active noise cancellation, sound-through mode, and can be used on two devices simultaneously. For added control, the handle supports touch control and it can be changed through the special Urbanista app. This application also has a built-in tuning feature. The Phoenix is also protected with IPX4 protection for splash resistance such as sweat, supports Bluetooth 5.2 and has a USB-C connection port.
The size of the charging pod is quite large, for this solar feature. Phoenix is also the first in the world to use Powerfoyle solar panels on TWS. The selling price is $149 which is around RM663.
