MUJI Housewares - Cardboard Speakers

Wow. That is something special right there. Speakers, packed into a collapsible cardboard box. No no, don't laugh just yet. Wait until you see what they're asking price wise for these lil numbers.

$42.00

HA! You want me to pay $42 smackers for two speakers housed in cardboard? Not unless those speakers are pretty sweet speakers, which in that case, I wouldn't want them housed in cardboard. No no, I think $24.99 is a much more reasonable price. If that means you have to downgrade the speaker quality, then so be it. But I just don't see why anyone would want good quality speakers housed in cardboard, for that price at least. If not for the price, I would probably like them.

Seems like a pretty artsy website, but as artsy products are, they are just a little too pricey. Especially for us modders, who can probably make most of what they sell at half cost. But still, seems like a good website to visit for inspiration. This might be a computer modding forum, but does a blacksmith only make horse shoes? ;-)

Link didn't work for me.... but it sounds very silly none the less.

LOL... as a hifi enthusiast, these things are a joke. You cant get good sound from cardboard box.

Yes, this is the voice of experience talking.. I once boxed a pair of computer speakers into a cardboard enclosure, to make a more portable sound setup for my discman. Sounded like CRAP.

Link is working for me now, and I did anyone read the description?

These Lightweight, collapsible speakers are portable and can be folded away and placed in the included pouch when not in use. Plug them into your personal stereo's headphone jack to enjoy quality sound.
