Place your an earphone inside each "speaker" and voila! your tunes can be heard by all and sundry.

It's essentially a gutted CD player with a laser pointer that doubles as a tone arm. I'm a pretty big vinyl fan, and while something like this wouldn't get me to ditch my records, it'd at least get me interested in my old CD collection. – Louis Ramirez
