Eton Soulra

Forget popping in earphones while you top up your tan, the sun-hungry Eton Soulra will play music from your iPod or iPhone even when you’re miles from the nearest plug socket.

Armed with a fold-out solar panel, this self-sustaining stereo will charge in daylight, and thanks to a high power lithium ion battery, keep playing long after it gets dark. With its rugged styling and rubberised aluminium body, the splash-proof stereo is in its element by the pool, at the beach, or just at the end of the garden.
