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.

Intractable?
pdub77 in reply to ryugatanaJul 17, 2009. 3:08 PM
That's a site for people who like to make things harder than they need to be.
