GBA SP Gameboy Game boy Advance SP Earphone Adapter Black (allows you to use your standard earphone on GBA SP)

The small headphone adapter cord works well, it securely attached to the back port of the game boy advance sp and allows you to connect a standard headphone jack into the adapter. The black colour looks good with any color of system and the cord itself is low profile. Good purchase

I have been using these on my GBA playing excursions for a little while now to see how they work in a practical setting. Long story short: Fantastic! The audio clarity is as good as any regular headphone jack (I compared playing GBA games on my DS Lite and GBA SP with this) and there doesn't seem to be any issues with things getting loose as you inevitably move around with the system. The jack connector itself is really tight and so is the GBA end into the system. So chances are it won't come loose while you're playing under regular circumstances. Well, unless you are ready to pull them out of course.One thing to keep in mind though is that you cannot use this and charge your SP at the same time as they both use the same jack. So if you want to play with headphones exclusively or something, you'll need to keep your SP charged so you won't have to switch to the wall outlet when your battery turns red. Well, that or just wait until it's fully charged before playing again of course. But that'll be a few hours and if you're excited to finish something, well, good luck fighting the urge, ha ha!

I received my adapter in the mail just a little bit ago. I've used it for about 15 minutes - and it does a great job of delivering the full sound potential of whatever GBA game you're playing. In fact, it even enhances the earliest games I have for the original Gameboy. I just finished playing a round of "Revenge of the 'Gator" pinball (published in 1989) and I was surprised by the great sound effects and music that the game fed through my Apple Premium earbuds!I think you'll like the adapter and I recommend it highly, but you should know that what you receive does NOT look like the photo that accompanies the item listing here on Amazon.com. The adapter I received is a single "L"-shaped piece of plastic, with the GBA SP connector (male) in one end and a hole for a 1/8" mini-plug from your headphones in the other end. Although the housing is plastic, it seems very sturdy - and the contact surfaces are obviously of adequate quality, since the sound you can extract is very good. The unit is also a relatively small, out-of-the-way, and securely anchored addition to the GBA SP's profile. The only way you might damage the adapter is if you dropped it (mounted on your GBA SP) on a hard floor or smacked it into something while you were playing.Have fun rockin' out to your GBA SP with a set of stereo headphones! I am!

For someone who has a GBA SP and didn't wanna mod it, it's nice to have a headphone adapter. I bought this adapter and it works. There maybe some static noises while using it but it's better than buying the original adapter which it's gonna cost a fortune to buy one on Ebay.
