Sony introduces new PSP headphones branded earphones

If having a Sony PlayStation Portable and a pair of Sony earphones isn’t enough to show your dedication to the gaming console, you can take it a step further with Sony’s new line of earphones. The company has just announced the introduction of PlayStation Portable branded earphones. These earphones come in six different colors (black, white, silver, red, blue and pink) and are specially designed to produce high resolution sound. It is touted to provide powerful bass to accompany its clear treble output thanks to the use of strong neodymium magnets.

These headphones are said to provide the optimum experience for gaming on the PlayStation Portable and I believe they should work fine with any other gadget with a 3.5mm audio jack. But you probably won’t get any points from your Sony loyalty club if you plug these into an iPod or a Nintendo 3DS (I kid, there’s no such thing…right?). The Sony PSP earphones will go on sale this summer in Japan for $27 (2,200 Yen) each.
