The ThinkGeek Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt Review

The ThinkGeek Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt (I just call it the Speaker Shirt) plays any MP3 file that you want through a plastic speaker in the middle of it. It is controlled by two electronic units hidden in a pocket within the shirt; the first unit is the power source (requiring four AAA batteries) and SD card slot, and the second unit is the wired remote to the device. I believe that ThinkGeek's website explains the shirt the best: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/a5bf/ .

I really like the shirt, though I do not recommend it if you cannot find a decent use for it, since it costs $40. Still, it could probably be fun to use with friends.

question??? if you have an sd card in can you still play some of the sound effects that come with it or are you limited to only the stuff on your card?

[NintendoDSKid]

All of the default sounds are also stored on an SD card. It would be possible to put the SD card into your computer and import all of the sounds for use with other sounds on different cards, but that's about it.

[igotsoapinmyeye]

i was wondering can you put full length song or does it have to be split down into smaller sections

[NintendoDSKid]

Full songs can definitely be put on the shirt; the only limit in that regard is the size of your SD card.

Hmm well can you tell me more about the drum shirt? do the sounds have delays? do the buttons click or what? cause i saw a bunch of utube videos of it and it seems to have delays , i dont know if its the people that suck or its the shirt.

[NintendoDSKid]

Sorry for the delayed response; the drum shirt that I had was pretty difficult to get a sound out of, and the hit detection on it was pretty bad. There weren't any clicking sounds or anything, but it was pretty low quality otherwise.

"Sound quality is pretty good, for a shirt"

great quote :D

[thegirlnextdork]

Thanks for posting this review; very thorough. It's little things like the "loop" feature that really need investigating. :D

Shirt + Rocky theme = $40 value right there, in my opinion.

[PONCEM32]

Sick,ima by this on amazon now

[DJaksELL]

yes, you don't need the shirt, u can use a double jack to connect mp3 player, and btw, the sub wooder looking thing on the shirt is housing, a speaker is inside, so for those who thought you would have a 3" strapped to ur chest, ur out of luck

[DJaksELL]

I got one for christmas, and as some sort of manufacturing fluke, mine has pretty good sound quality, and take it from me, I'm an audiophile: using jbl daisy chained to logitech surround for typical listening, to two 18" yamaha subs, and a whole bunch of pioneer and beringer soft dome and mids, professionaly, so ya take it from me, for what its worth, its good. nonetheless I cant wash it cause I feel like I'm gonna break it when I try the wires b/w speaker and battery box

[xXxXxMOSSxXxXx]

@NintendoDSKid Can you just plug the speaker out of the battery area and just walk around like that? And since think geek is having a sale for $20, do you think it's worth it? Thanks!

[BEATSBYDRE4LIFE]

@Eierkopp1824 you can unplug the speaker and take it out.

[Eierkopp1824]

Can i wash it? or is it then broken? Please Answer :D

[david2407]

I have one and it's pretty cool....

[minggy11]

its on sale for 19.99 for a limitted time

[1crimsonking]

I got one and the sound quality sucks in school anyone can barely hear it, and also some sounds are short when volume gets higher. Should I return it.

[2009littleninja]

this shirt needs a benny hill theme song. that way, the next time you get chased, you have motivation!
