Iphones and for that matter Ipads are great devices. Their Audio quality and volume though has a lot to be desired. It is no fault of Apple though as it is simply physics. You see to achieve a loud sound the only option is either:

1) Have a Large enclosure for the sound waves to re-verberate and to house larger electical drivers to enable higher volumes
or
2) Have the listener really close to the source. ie. headphones

This is why the Iphone Horn which we released early last year in 2012 has been such a ground breaking product. We have released a version which accomodates the new Iphone 5 by the way! All brandable with your corporate and event logos of course.

Did you know that you can also create your own Iphone horn which even doubles as a mobile phone stand? Granted it probably wont be as good as our promotional phone stands or Iphone horn but they still work well anyhow. Only simple household items are required to make then including:

1) Toilet Roll Carboard Tube
2) Scissors
3) 2 Slim line pens

Method?

1) Simply cut an insertion slot big enough on the cardboard tube to fit your phone.
2) On the side facing you cut out 2 circles on either end of the insertion slot.
3) Use your pen and pierce on either side of the tube and leave your pen in there to stand the unit up.

Presto! Thats it. Does it work? Yes, absolutely. It makes the Audio louder by re-directing sound which goes out the bottom of the unit towards you and a bit towards the side. You can boost volume up by sealing up the sides too with excess cardboard that you have already cut out.

It doesnt look to crash hot though so feel free to colour it in with texters or stick stickers onto it. I'll be posting up pics and videos shortly. Oh just in case you were wondering it does not boost up sound quality. If your audio is poorly recorded or poorly streamed in a low bit rate then it just means the poor quality is made a bit louder.
