Passive amplifiers have been doing their acoustic trick since before the Victrola was cutting edge. It’s pretty simple, really– just make some noise on the working end of a horn and you’re likely to hear it a little bit easier in the direction it’s pointed in. The concept works in reverse, too.
This eco-amp from the folks at Eco Made is a die cut piece of 100% post consumer chipboard that you can fold together into a fully functional passive amplifier. It comes unassembled flat, so it’s easy to store until you’re ready to use it. [via gizmag]

or just buy a real god damn pair of speakers and listen to the music the way the artist intended and not on a horable tinny iPhone speaker…
or just shut up and go back to your insignificancy
Somehow it doesn’t really feel like papercraft if I have to purchase it,,,
If you want to listen to the music the way the “artist intended” you wouldn’t want to listen the poor quality of the file format on an iPhone.

In what way is this eco- anything? It’s basically disposable so resources were put into creating and shipping this thing that doesn’t perform half as well as a pair of head phones and isn’t useful for anything else. If you really want an eco-amp just roll up a piece of paper you’d been using. A for effort, really… but an F for thought.

Just set your iPhone in a ceramic bowl or mug. It is even louder.
