Excellent little device, just what I needed!

Works with PS3

Good and cheap product

 

Good and cheap product

It's a good product that does what is supposed to do. Sometimes, you can hear some static. It happens very rarely and lasts for a very short time.

It's really not worth it!

 

It's really not worth it!

I don't really bother writing reviews but I just thought I should share my views on this item. When I first opened it, I noticed small scratches & fingerprints on the underside(I was holding either side of it & hadn't even touched the underneath)& it...
