Review on 🎧 Enhanced Gaming Experience: PSP Headphones with Remote Control by Marcus Hargrave

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great accessory for your PSP!

If you play music on your PSP, this is definitely a must have. I can also confirm that there is NO buzz as previous reviews from a year ago say. This is great, you can put your PSP to sleep so none of the PSP buttons work and turn off the screen, after which you can control volume and music selections without even touching the PSP. They fit in the ear quite well, they have a good cord length and the remote has a small clip so you can clip it to your clothes. I've been using it for about an hour and already loving it! Buy it for the remote part anyway, and you can still use your regular headphones, although the overall length will be quite large. Also I haven't seen this in other reviews but these headphones (can't remember the exact term for it but) have a feature where the cable to the right earbud is longer than the left earbud so it looks the same like the headphones. "y". It doesn't use the classic "V" shape. Edit: As I said, the remote control is great, but after using the headphones, they just suck. At least my ears hurt after a while and the sound quality isn't very good. I hooked up a good quality Apple iPod and it got a lot better. The main difference I heard was that the iPod headphones are much quieter when connected to both the remote and the PSP itself. It was like the headphones that came with the remote amplified the noise and essentially distorted it too. The PSP is to blame for the noiselessness, not the remote control. I was fine with max volume on the Apple headphones in a reasonably quiet room, but if you're serious about rocking out or if you're in a noisy room, that can be a problem. At this point, the only thing left for you to do is to complain to Sony that the audio output on the PSP is too quiet. Generally buy them for the remote control and use another pair of headphones. You may have more cables, but managing them all is easy. If I could I would downgrade to 4 stars.

Pros
  • You can control numerous activities with the supplied remote control.
Cons
  • Not sure.
