When manufacturer GEAR4 first announced their speaker system earlier this year, it didn't cause a stir. It is probably more of a financial constraint rather than reservations about quality. To be quite frank, I've been dying to have one of those since August. Now that Christmas is just around the corner, I just might try to get one.

Anyway, it's hard not to pay attention to an accessory dubbed as SonicBoom. The system actually comes in with two speakers and a powerful sub-woofer; enough sound power to make you feel as if you're playing GTA in a full entertainment system. Aside from being compatible with the PSP, SonicBoom can also be used with almost any other MP3 players.
