Iqua SUN - the first solar-powered Bluetooth headset in the world. This wireless headset has got a photovoltaic cell that uses any available light - outdoors and indoors - to charge itself and extend the operation times of the headset. After all, why use electricity when you have the sun?

Additionally, you can answer or end a call, redial and use voice dial and even switch the call between phone and your headset using a single button! With Iqua SUN, you can enjoy a crystal clear sound and wireless VOIP calls, at your convenience.

This innovative and groundbreaking combination of science and style led the Iqua SUN to be selected as an “Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award” honoree in the Wireless Handsets Accessories product category. Iqua is proud to see itself leading the way in promoting environmental awareness in the mobile technology industry.

4 of 5 Love the solar and sound - could be better fit Tuesday, August 05, 2008
A Customer from New Jersey  

This is my fourth bluetooth and just for the solar charging ability alone, I would buy this again. That was always the biggest drawback to using the bluetooth - haveing to charge multiple devices. The solar charging ability works very well and the sound is very good on both ends. The only drawback is the fit - the clip that goes over the ear is not very useful. You can disguard the clip and just place the BT in the ear, but after a little while I get painful ear. That is a small drawback though and I would definitely recommend this BT.

5 of 5 Excellent product, straight from the future. Sunday, July 06, 2008
Brian from Seattle, WA  
Stolen straight from the Jetsons - a tiny wireless headset that needs no batteries! I've been using it for a week and have yet to charge it beyond the initial time. It's not the loudest BT headset I've used so if it doesn't fit in your ear well, you may have trouble getting enough volume to compensate for a loose fit. It fits well for me, the rubberized earplug is pretty firm and nearly holds the headset in place without the earloop. The build and material quality are very high, better than nearly any hardware of this type. Operation is easy and consistent, and it feels very well-designed both in looks and in usability. I'm extremely happy with this purchase, especially considering the low price here at Buy.com. I also like that I'm less dependent on batteries or carrying a charger! I hope phone manufacturers jump on this idea, too.

5 of 5 Sun for charging = perfect! Wednesday, July 02, 2008
A Customer from Los Angeles, CA  
I've charged it in the wall only twice in the 3 weeks I've owned it! It's great for people that live in very sunny climates. I leave it in my car during the day where it charges on my dashboard. The device is clear and crisp when talking. It works with voice activated dialing with my phone, so that's a huge plus. I never touch my phone, I just push and hold the down volume button on the device and then start voice dialing.

5 of 5 Amazing device Friday, June 06, 2008
A Customer from Overland Park, KS  
To date, I would describe all of my previous bluetooth headsets as "adequate"...meaning they simply made it convient to leave my phone holstered and my hands free while I talk. The Iqua Sun is by far the best BT headset I've ever had. Although it does not have active noise cancellation, calls are crisp and clean. I've intentionally asked my callers how I sound on their end...and all have responded that I sound like I'm right next to them in the same room. Iqua isn't kidding about a 10 meter range either. At work...surrounded by other wireless signals...I was able to walk approximately 30 feet away INTO a conference room (putting a wall between the headset and my phone)...the headset maintained perfect clarity. Call quality alone would have made this worth it to me, but on top of that I've been able to reap the benefit of the active solar recharging. After the initial charge, I've only had to plug this into the wall charger one other time and that was after near constant use throughout the day. My hat's off to Iqua and Buy.com. Thanks for a great product at an unbeatable price.
