For those of us on the go, we’re always in the market for something lightweight and portable, but useful, right?  These portable speakers can be used for any music source with a headphone jack.  Besides the electronic portion that makes them function, there’s really not much to them, which is nice if you’re traveling or storing them.  The exterior is made of cardboard!  When you’re not using them, they can be folded up and inserted back into the pouch they came in, making it simple to transport or store them in just about any bag or laptop case.  Best of all, they look very unique and no one else will have speakers like them!  They are available for purchase from the Museum of Modern Art.  The purchase price is $42.  So the next time you want to listen to your MP3 player but don’t want to wear those pesky headphones, get these speakers out of your purse or bag, fold them into shape, plug them into the headphone ...
