Pimp Your PSP With SonicBoom

GEAR4, manufacturer of iPod accessories, just informed us about their newest product – a speaker system for the Playstation Portable. The company claims that its SonicBoom speakers are a vast improvement over the sound of the PSP’s original speakers. The SonicBoom comes with two speakers (2.4W each) and one sub-woofer (9.6W) and being a handheld accessory, it’s all designed very compactly. Despite the small size, the high definition output is supposed to fill whole rooms with the sound of your PSP’s MP3s, videos or games.

A two-metre-long “Freestyle” cable allows you to freely move their PSP in the room while the SonicBoom system is connected. Alternatively, you can fit the PSP directly into the SonicBoom. Using it while the PSP is being charged should be no problem either.
The speaker system utilizes normal headphone outputs, so you can connect it to a variety of devices, like iPods, laptops and other sound sources.

The SonicBoom will retail for £49.99, which is about $95 – quite hefty for “just” a bunch of miniature speakers. Personally, I don’t feel the need to use my PSP as a stereo – I’m satisfied with a pair of good earbuds which are a lot less pricey. Nonetheless,  should anyone reading this pick it up – let us know what you think about it!
