Sound-Amping Mason Jars

This Unusual Mason Jar Product Makes Music Louder

— August 13, 2013 — Tech
This unconventional mason jar product by Uncommon Goods is certainly a unique use for the classic canning jar. Instead of being used for food preservation, this jar is made to make music louder. The clear glass jar reveals that it is packed with electronic equipment like circuit boards, metal and wires. As well, the jack that reaches the outside the jar can be plugged into iPhones, iPods or any other music-playing device.

Despite its small size, this mason jar speaker is capable of blasting out a big sound. This seems like a project that could be replicated by tech-savvy crafters with just a few supplies and a trip to the hardware store. This novel speaker just adds one more thing to the endless list of things mason jars are good for.
