PSP-CS500


Yes, that adorable, pearl finished ball is a powerful speaker in disguise. Elecom's PSP-S700 is perfect for those that would want to share their music or videos with a room full of people ready to bring the house down. Its shape, not only makes it a curious little device, but also makes it easy to carry around. You don't have to worry about the cord getting all tangled up because it has its own special compartment inside the ball. No need to plug it into a power source. Since it's a passive type, it uses the device's power, your PSP in this instance, as its energy source. It could eat up some of your precious battery life, but hey, you used it all in style. It comes in a variety of colors like blue, pink, silver and white. Every color orb to match your outfit or PSP case. Unfortunately, no mention of it being available outside of Japan though. Including tax, it is priced at ¥2,520 or roughly $22 USD.

(Thanks, Flai, for the tip.)

I think I want these. Much nicer than something from radio shack (had two different compact split apart speakers from there already).

 » why spend money on that ???

i mean, cum on guys !
what about just using a "heaphone jack to rca" cable just to connect the psp on a real amplifier with real big speakers..............
.....personnaly i already had a fm modulator (about the same price here) but now i can connect on almost everything .... at least any fm tuner thats in my house, my job or even in my car.......think of it......

 » Logitech PlayGear Amp all the way!

I have Logitech PLay GEar Amp and let me tell you i cant believe this speakers are better than Logitech's one's. The Logitech real have powerfull sound, like a normal stereo in your car, with deep bass and all that. This ones are way too cheap to be very good.. oh.. and you can get this ones on e-bay.. i saw it other day.

Your welcome btw! I mean. i'm the one who sends you the news tip but thats fine, don't mention me! Typical *****ing QJ! Take news from sources and don't even bother to thank them!

I'm not living in last year. I saw them and I knew they hadn't been on QJ b4 so I sent them a tip and they don't even mention me the ungrateful *****ers

   by Rica M. (QJ. NET Staff) - 2006-08-05
 » Sorry about that one, Flai.

You did send us the tip. Sorry we didn't cite you as our source for this one. So, thanks.

 » 11,14 get a grip, Submitter..

You don't see CNN or BBC reporting a story, then giving credits to the first person who saw the planecrash, do you?

   by westcoast (Unregistered) - 2006-08-05
 » oh yeah, and.....

quote from the first site that comes up on google search:

"..PSP-CS500 is Elecom's all new 2005 ultra unique Portable Speakers. Features a simple ball shaped ..."

notice that 2005 there. it was all new.. LAST year.

no sense getting all huffed up over some 'news' that you didn't get credit for submitting.. I mean, isn't it good enough that the word is getting out to your fellow PSP players?

Thanks Rica.M. Its no problem as long as I am acknowledged somewhere. @16, Shut up. I can complain if I want. I know I was the one to give the tip and I just wanted to see it acknowledged somewhere. I'm reporting about speakers I saw, not a plane crash. Not the best thing to compare it with.

actually, didn't they get posted on qj already too?

   by CarXCrashXHearts - 2006-08-05
 » They were here already.

There's already an article about these on QJ. A year ago, in fact. Up there in the Search Bar, search "Elecom." There you go.

To FLai, you're an idiot; You should've done your research before making QJ post an article for the second time. Also, don't talk trash about QJ, they have one of the best news sites for the PSP out there.

pwned.

   by FLai - 2006-08-05
 » .

Eh, I didn't make QJ post the article. At all. The blogger who posted this should have done their research as they are the ones being paid. Not me. The blogger who posted this got paid for it. I didn't. I found those speakers and then I tipped off QJ about them and they posted the article and I don't even get a bit of recognition. I don't think so. And I will talk trash about whatever site I want to. Its called freedeom of speech. So shove that up your arse.

And also, I am not an idiot, I'm not the retard with the name CarXCrashXHearts. *cough*emo*cough*

 » they look pretty nice

ill wait to see a review on their quality and volume tho

 » Er...

"And also, I am not an idiot, I'm not the retard with the name CarXCrashXHearts. *cough*emo*cough*"

With that statement, I would beg to differ.

P.S. When you're defending yourself, trying to bring up something random about the person attacking you isn't the best way to prove them wrong.

nocomment

 » Omg..

Mabie you all need to chill... all of you, Flai gave us the news and thank you... is nice to know... cuz I don't think I'll be stupid digging through QJ's history news, is nice to know there are speakers out theres like this, easily fit into pocket, while powerful, and who the hell carries boombox around with them? is 21st ceuntry for pete sake... don't shoot me for that... lol anyways, also Flai is right about freedom of speech, but don't go too far, calling people ungrateful [censored] is just rude, and calling for people to flame you. again, grow up and show eachother some respect.

Lol good one LiraNuna!
