A start-up team from the UK is developing a headphone named OneBeat, hoping to provide power for portable devices such as tablet computers and smartphones through the solar panels on the headphones. They will embed a flexible solar panel on the headphone, store the absorbed solar energy into the built-in lithium battery of the headphone, and then charge the smartphone or tablet computer through a USB interface.
