Cardboard Speakers

This is probably one of the cooler things I've seen in a while. And, unlike most of the other gadget crap I post, these things are actually useful.

But yeah, just like the post title, cardboard speakers. Pretty keen, huh?

The description on the website seems to mostly talk about the company or designer who came up with these things rather than actually provide any information on the product, but here's what you need to know: They're fully functional speakers made of cardboard on whatever electronic components are necessary to make a speaker; they're collapsible and fold flat for storage; they come with a plastic storage bag; and they plug into a standard headphone jack.

The only thing that bothers me about them are the price. Forty-two bucks seems like an awful lot for a tiny pair of speakers, no matter how novel they might be.
