What you need

4x Paper Cups
2x Toothpicks
1x Earphones (provided along with your iPod or any other)
Blade or box cutter

Steps
1. On the underside of 2 cups, use a box cutter to cut a cross in the center of the cup. Cross should be long enough to fit an earpiece through and securing it. This will be your speakers.
2. For a stand, use the sharp end of a toothpick to poke through the underside of the other 2 paper cups, and then securing your new speakers onto it.

End product:



Have fun

http://forum.lowyat.net/AppleByte ?

I don't know yet. I'll go get some paper cups during lunch break and let you guys know =P

This isn't an APPLE only topic.

Looks nice.....But if got wind sure fly away....

super bad quality of sound.

lol, you actually tried it? i didnt even bother, but really creative....

this is definitely not for those who listen to quality .

Very useful if you're in a boring party and wanna jam with your iPod/PDA/handphone. Reason? Materials are given

erm... got subwoofer? hehe

looks like a interesting diy project for the week end . lol ... i have an sprae apple headphone to sacrifice ...

apple will sell this as icup

btw, what is the best speaker on the market for ipod?

bose?

There's no best speaker on the market but only the best that suits you.

and the budget...

so TS tried this yet?

wa...nice idea...very budget.
cant find anything that better than paper cup to enhance better sounds?

can use plastic cup..hehe..but..most cost..

this is a nice, adaptive idea, when louder sounds needed frm earpieces...

would like to try, with some cheapo headsets later....hehe

hmmm...
trying with mamak metal glass..
nway...the design is the same with one altec lansing speaker

i guess this one also can be used as 'alternative' iPhone...hehe

Which mamak serves with METAL glass?

lol. what kind of volume can this thing do?

what did you trying to point out here?

try it on pop corn paper cup

hahahaha lol will have bigger sound then... lol =.-!!!!!

should add some Plasticine on the bottom for more stable is not wind blow = bye bye

hahahhahaha... ya.. lol... plasticine not good enough... use elephant gam... hahahaha

this isnt a very good idea... i think only can be use in bedroom... wont be loud enough for public use (like listen songs at uni canteen)... and.... some earpiece wont last long if you use it in high volume for long period...

arrr ya... lol... bettter get a decent speaker.. lol

kam dou dak

Wahlao weh.. these stuff nice.. but just buy gd speaker only lor.. murah2 only nowdays

haha but come to think of it... good speaker require extra power supply to power up the speakers... not suitable for mobile use too...

where's the 3.5mm jack ?

wat u mean bro? just use the earphone jack lol.

near bangi...seksyen 15..ameer ali
they want to differ ais kosong and paid water...
the asi kosong use metal gelas

ya just use the earphone jack.. anyway i dont recommend this idea loh... your earpiece will spoil easily...

what party is that doesnt even have music in the first place?

this if for people at home that dont want to utilize using the same earphone for 2 people...instead..using this idea is a better way to share..

sharing mean caring..
