What if your headphones go over the head?
Also, if they weren't loud enough to be speakers before, how does it make it louder?

This was pretty much a useless project. I had some old "over the head" head phones that broke where it goes over your head, so I pulled out the speakers and put them in an Altoids case. It is just a use for a "broken" pair of headphones.

Might want to correct the spelling of the title. Just a thought. Check this out before you do. "Most simple" is probably the way to go. Cool project, though. =)

I don't know if its intentional, but i love the title of step three (aka step one)

i have recently made a very simple ipod charger that will fit in an altoids case but i haven't made an intractable on it yet.

Very cool! I like this a lot. It's a really cute idea. My only complaint about your instructable is that your pictures are VERY blurry. It'd be nice to have higher quality photos so we can see exactly what you're doing.
