User Comments about the PSP PlayGear Amp

The second power cable is a major plus.CONs: The only thing about this product that disapointed me was the fact that the cradle was made for the PSP-1001. PROs: Arrived in good time and in good condition. The sound is crisp and clear, exactly what I thought it would be. It doesnt say that anywhere that I could find so i am letting you know.



Then again, I'm kind of a sound snob. I'd have given it 5 stars if the sound could rattle my living room windows. Awesome. It looks good, doesn't feel flimsy and has great sound for the price and size of the unit.


One minor bad point, the cradle didn't fit my PSP Slim God of War Edition. Hardly a deal-breaker though. Though I will say that the review that describes this as producing sound on par to that of a top-notch portable stereo is a bit overstated. It's also extremely portable and the case is decent.


I'd say it's more like decent computer speakers. All in all an excellent product.


half of speakers JUST went out today. I bought these for 29.99 at target. searched for more on here, but tooo much money.someone also has the odacity to charge 750.00 for them. nice looks. Some on here are 45$ + not sure if they still sell in stores however.great sound. worked fine for about a year. wtf is that.



Also there are two small unnecessary tabs on the inside bottom of the stand which I cut off. On the left side of the stand you need to cut out a notch to fit the jack in it's proper place. This is a good little speaker system for the money ( I got it for $20), but in order to use it with the newer slim PSP 2000 you have to modify it in order to hook up the speaker jack. I used an exacto knife and a very small pair of diagonal cutters. Works great.



Shipping was prompt and communication, both before and after the receipt of the speakers, excellent (I had to contact them with a question about the speakers afterwards).The speakers look sleek and sound great. The finish and aesthetics are very pleasing. With the buttons, you don't quite know where you are in the volume range. I got this through Amazon.com's Marketplace, from Reforger.com. I would've preferred a dial knob or a recessed dial myself--just a personal preference, I guess. The other comment is that when the speakers is powered by the supplied AC adapter only (that is, with no batteries installed), the volume would reset itself to 0 after the unit's been unplugged for a while. This is not an issue when powered by batteries.


The metal stand is solid and useful.I have two comments, both to do with the volume control. My gaming on the PSP comes to life so much better with these than with the built-in speakers or with ear/headphones. A minor gripe is that the volume is controlled by two buttons (- and +). By the way, I'm able to use rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries with this.Highly recommended.
