Jongchul Kim has created my favourite sound amplifier yet. The “Mint Horn” looks like a horn that belongs in an orchestra and attaches to any earphone. The speaker system doesn’t need a power source as it plays your favourite tunes in an amplified sound.
With a Fallopian tube, users can set a desired angle for the horn to play their music.
The one downfall to this creation seems to be that it will only allow circular earbuds to be attached to the device.
