The DS Lite is a runaway success even by Nintendo’s lofty standards, but one gripe that many people have concerning it would be the lack of punch when it comes to speaker performance. The Sound Shell DLite takes that notion and bins it, claiming to offer superior, tubthumping sound without the aid of headphones. It doesn’t drain the DS Lite’s battery as there is a built-in battery compartment. While the sacrifice involves a much larger handheld console to carry around, you get dual benefits of improved audio quality and a protective case. The Sound Shell DLite can be picked up for $30.
