DS Misc > Nice Lite speakers

#104366 - Xtreme - Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:23 pm

I have had these speakers for several months. I just tought to take some pictures as I have promised in the past.

They can be charged with any USB port with power.
There is three AAA reghargeable batteries inside of the speakers.
Power up to 10 hours.
And yes, the sound is better than via DS's little speakers.

No I didn't make them. They are made in China or Hong Kong, not sure.
But they aren't so cheap. :( And sorry, I don't know any internet store that sells them.
I could help if you are interested, just PM me.

EDIT: Update, I just called to my local store and atm they are sold at $41 + shipping. If anyone needs a pair I can help. :)

The small size was falsely hinting a low price! But these are some nice speakers that fit well in the whole entertainment-but-still-techy style of Nintendo. (Read Iwata's interview on Nintendo website.)

Yeah sure, $44 my ass mate...
Go on ebay and look for portable speakers, their around $14 + $7 postage.

This guy is obviously bumping you and trying to make money. Most products from hong kong are quite cheap.

Or maybe the $14 + 7 shipping is a cheap copy? Cuase you know, you can get a "DS" on ebay for like $20..

But how many of those speakers can recharge the batteries while they are still in the speaker? That's an impressive feature.

Can they be recharged by plugging them into a wall outlet or only USB?

you should hack them up and mod your ds :)

So you think DS Lite is cheaper than DS as it's smaller?
Yes, they are really good sized and they have protection (that paw) that prevents anything from harming the speaker element.

I think they are overpriced, but I have no idea where they could be cheaper. Hong Kong products are not so pricey. Actually I can not confirm where they are made in as they have no texts. The casing seems to be high quality (very sturdy plastic).
You can get any cheap speakers for your DS, it's up to you. :) There are many bigger speakers with better bass (like the Philips ones).

If you know any place that sells them cheaper, please share the information.

You need a 5VDC power supply or that USB cable that comes with the speakers.

Really? DS Lite would look awful. :D I don't think it would work visually. Sorry, I'm not destroying my DSL as I have not that much money.
