5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sound, July 3, 2005

These speakers are a welcome addition to the Sony PSP. The whole premise is pretty simple. You can either place your PSP in the included cradle and sit back and watch a movie or use the included 3 foot cable and play your games while experiencing vastly superior sound than that provided by the PSP's internal speakers. The entire system folds up and fits in the carrying case which is included. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to hear excellent sound from their PSP without having to wear headphones. The package includes the unit itself, an AC power adapter (the system also runs on 4 AAA batteries), the PSP cradle, one short cable, one 3 foot cable, and the carrying case.

After getting my PSP, I decided to find some good speakers for it so I could share MP3s and movies with friends. Logic3's attachable speaker setup is excellent, but not loud enough. When I came across this outstanding deal for Logitech's PlayGear for such a bargin price, I decided to give it a try. One word sums up the purchase: Wow! These are some fantastic sounding speakers. Even better than those I'm using for my computer. Putting the sound level up to full blast, the room I was in was filled with music on par to that of a top-notch portable stereo. Even better is that the unit can be used for your computer or MP3 player or CD player. Also, it comes with a nice 12" zipper-closing, square nylon case to hold the speakers, cords and power adapter. The only thing I don't like about the unit is the cradle used for holding the PSP. It isn't stable enough. It's good as long as the viewer is keeping the whole unit centralized in one spot. If Logitech had made it so the PSP could clip onto the main body of the unit, then it would be very easy to carry it around. Even with this slight problem, I highly recommend this speaker system to anyone on the lookout for amplifying their music and movies, either from a PSP or other portable sources.

Ladies and gentleman...please remember that these speakers will not compare to a bass system in the car as some reviewers think they should. These speakers are of high quality. They completely serve their purpose. Great design...like a miniature personal home theater. The PSP itself does not give off great sound, but Logitech has assisted in the undoing of a great idea. Especially at their price now at Amazon....Best BUy has them for $60 and you can get it here for $20 less!!! Nonetheless, worth every penny. These speakers are pretty loud for what they are. Some expect a great deal more, but these speakers are great for their purpose. They are very loud in Treble. Do not expect a lot of bass out of these. Also, do not buy into the competitors NYKO and LOGIC 3....LOGIC 3 IS NOT the same company as some people will tell you they are. And don;t be bluffed by the subwoofer on the LOGIC 3...looks promising, but how much bass could that thing get out anyway??? I did a lot of research before I bought these speakers and here is what decided it for me...a great look compared to the others out there...the fabulous low price and a trusted name...LOGITECH...SONY actually stands behind a LOGITECH product...that in and of itself should tell you which speakers to buy. Hope this review helps!!!!
