What's funny and sad is this concept has more innovation than all of Apple.

I heard of this about a month ago from somewhere, watched a video
EDIT: Oh it was the plastic passive amplifier for the ipad, a bit different than this cardboard one

this piece of cardboard... while its cheap... really, day one it will be pirated, probably even right now its being pirated.

that said, get a blue tooth speaker,
get a speaker base station,
the speakers in the ipad and iopt touch (iphone may be better) are such poor quality, i'm surprised they don't bundle a external speaker from the getgo.

real speakers + amp FTW

Ummm, this is probably a good reason to own the iPhone.

So many of these idiotic "speaker enhances". Please get that the speaker in your phone is absolute crap quality, not amount of tweaking will ever make it even remotely acceptable to listen to. Get a proper speaker instead.

This is great but I bet you'll lose your precious iphone warranty for not using an Apple approved cardbox.

Just cute that it has amp in the name to give some feeling it works like an amplifier. Shouldn't it be more appropriately named eco-megaphone or eco-paper cup?

Not compatible with iPhone 5

Ehh... anyone else felt that they just upped the volume in the editing software and that this is no real indication of how the product performs?

Still, I agree with everyone else, the speakers will be crap no matter how much you tweak them.

In fact, for years the iDevice hardware/software was quite subpar in terms of audio processing and output quality. That's a big part of why I never bought an iPod, there were so many devices that produced superior audio quality for less.

i was just going on the speakers in the device alone, but yea, from what i understand they also have bad quality over all for sound as far as how much they cost, audio wise, ill discount processing and screen as thats another topic.
