If you like listening to music through the phone's speakers and you have HTC One and too much cash... I found something for you! The British company that built the horn amplifier used to the iPhone, now released a similar product for HTC One.
The principle of operation is simple – there was used one hundred years old idea of the tube channel sound reinforcement. And the story has come full circle: the tube reinforced once crackling sounds of shellac discs, and today - music of similar quality from the phone buzzer. The equipment has a lot of advantages: interesting looks, makes a nice impression, it works without electricity and in fact it can even be called a portable device. Interchangeable mounting allows you to customize the device to HTC One Max. In contrast to the tube for the iPhone, this for HTC is even a stereo one!

So if you can handle the clunky sounds issued by smartphones speakers, the tube should enhance your experience. While listening to anything apart from the ring and talking through the speaker seemed ridiculous so far, after I saw the tube presented today and got to know its price, the level of what I consider to be "ridiculous" has changed a little. The tube called Gramohorn II in version made of plastic on the 3D printer costs only 999 pounds. Madness? It's not over yet: you can order the tube in a variation of stainless steel for only 4999 pounds. Any volunteers?
