The invention claimed is: 1. An audio reproducing attachment device, comprising: audio circuitry attached to a spring clip; wherein said audio circuitry comprises a microphone, a speaker, a controller and a memory, and is configured to facilitate audio recordation and playback; and said spring clip comprises a first side having a first end and a first fulcrum portion, a second side having a second end and a second fulcrum portion, a fulcrum joining said first and second sides at said first and second fulcrum portions, said first and second ends being below said fulcrum and resiliently biased toward each other, a first actuating arm associated with said first side and extending above said fulcrum, and a second actuating arm associated with said second side and extending above said fulcrum, wherein the urging of said first and second actuating arms toward each other causes the urging of said first and second ends away from each other, and wherein at least a portion of said circuitry is physically coupled to said fulcrum. 2. The audio reproducing attachment device of claim 1, wherein the controller comprises a toggle switch and an actuation button. 3. The audio reproducing attachment device of claim 1, wherein said first and second actuating arms may be moved to extend below said fulcrum. 4. The audio reproducing attachment device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of said audio circuitry is connected to said first actuating arm. 5. The audio reproducing attachment device of claim 1, wherein said audio circuitry is attached to a housing which is secured to said first actuating arm. 6. The audio reproducing attachment device of claim 5, wherein said housing is removably secured to said first actuating arm.
