Paper Speaker: Japanese company sells DIY cardboard speakers


Listen Later

Case in point: The Paper Speaker [JP], announced yesterday by Tokyo-based Princeton for use with your PC (or any device sporting a USB port). Designed like a retro audio device, the speaker will be shipped to you as a DIY cardboard kit.
