First off, I think you can order these online only, through the link that is given. At first, I wasn't sure if this would be a good deal, considering it's price, what you pay is what you get.. I was wrong.
It consists of 2 parts, the transmitter and the headphones (the 2 phone are connected with a long thin cable). Both the transmitter and phones operate on 2 AAA1.5V batteries, which kinda dissapoints me, they could have made the transmitter suck the PSP's batteries..
Pros:
• Range! I can wirelessly listen to my PSP from anywhere in my 2-story house.
• Price. Only 12$ for the whole set. And I think these headphones have a greater value..
• FM compatible. When you're tired from your music, you can always tune in and listen to some radio, using the headphones only.
• Transmitter clips on to the PSP making it easier to carry.
• Compatible with other audio devices (ipods, Cd players, mp3's etc..)
Cons:
• Phones are too loose and big. You always have a feeling they'll fall off. Too bulky.
• Not very reliable. While your listening to your music you might pick up radio signals sometimes.
• Takes some time to scan and find your transmitter.
• You need to use batteries.
• Antenna included (you can retract it if you want)
n FM tuner for the PSP, along with a FM transmitter. I try tuning into the local stations using the headset and the sound quality is awesome and I get good signals and no interruptions.
Now it's time to try the FM transmitter, I plug the the thing into my PSP's audio jack and turn the power on. It fits and clicks into place. Now I try tuning into 88.5 through the headset and I get the sound of my PSP but theres one HUGE problem, the sound even on maximum, the antenna of the transmitter fully out and the PSP being beside me is very low. Now I try tuning into 88.5 using my Sony 3,200 watt deck. I get the signal from my PSP and I put it on full volume still the sound is very very low compared to other stations.
I try it in my car. The thing doesn't tune into 88.5, it can't catch a signal!! I mean I don't know if this is a problem with of my car but I tried it out in my friends car still, no luck! One of the biggest reasons I bought this was that I could hear my songs in my car like an Itrip for the Ipod but well, I guess I wasted my money. BUT not to forget the FM tuner. That is something that I guess has made my money worthwile.
Overall, its a great product for FM tuning but you can't rely on the transmitting. The sound quality is quite good while transmitting and you can even go put your PSP 3 rooms away and listen to the sound using the headset with least interruption but the volume sucks. I guess I'll try out the Tunecast one now for Transmitting.
