Introduction: The Concept
Budget Beats are old computer speakers reimagined. Instead of throwing out old speakers, the Budget Beats project aims to repurpose them into inexpensive headphones still capable of being noise attenuating. Instead of spending over $200, why not just under $20? However, doing so isn’t perfectly simple and there are some problems we’ll have to solve.
How do we keep the headphones on someone’s head?
How do we make the headphones comfortable to wear?
What materials work best at attenuating sound?
Can we find speakers that aren’t too big and can fit on someones head?
