Clever DIY invention

This guy takes 2 plastic cups and a paint roller and makes a DIY boombox for cellphones. Pretty darn clever.

Just thought I'd share since there's probably a lot of you on here who listen to music through your phone.

Audiobooks

cool.

Bit of a stretch to call that an invention...

what would you call it then?

Life hack

@jasean79: What @dave123321 said - a 'life hack'.

Or you can just throw your phone into any tiny open-ended container for a volume boost. I think certain materials resonate better than others, but at least you don't have to assemble anything...

Just stick your phone into a tin can...

Profit?

I wish.

It is clever, sure. I will keep with my soundbar+subwoofer for now, though.

@BranKetra:

Haha, good call. I suppose this method is for people who are on a budget with no existing stereo dock for their phones.

Yes, a very tight budget.

Cool beans.

Neat, but ultimately pointless considering how cheap actual speakers are.

give me $400 and I'll MacGyver it into an Xbox One

i'd rather shell out my money on the real thing and be a consumer slave than using something that fugly.

you care how it looks?

Neat looking, but I'll stick to throwing my phone in my plastic water pitcher at home for a sound boost.

appearance always matters to me.
