"The pocket-sized amplifier works with any device equipped with a headphone jack, and touts a decompression enhancer circuit."

"If you ever find yourself hoping for that 11 setting on your iPod volume dial, Upbeat Audio's Boostaroo AC/USB powered amplifier and splitter is what you are seeking."

Boostaroo Review with Archos AV240

"Since I like to share (and who doesn't?), I use a Boosteroo headset amplifier so two of us can watch video at the same time. I lower the volume on the headset thumb wheel, then use the arrow keys to raise the volume till my viewing partner is happy. I can then use the thumb wheel on my headset to fine tune my volume. The Boosteroo is very cool."

Laptop Speakers - Boost Volume With Boostaroo

"Tired of your portable pal's tinny speakers? If so the Boostaroo Revolution maybe the solution. This compact notebook gadget plugs into your audio output jack, and can quadruple the volume output without distortion."

Boostaroo Revolution headphone splitter and amplifier

"...But it works wonders. The sounds is crystal clear. I also use it to boost the input volume of my phone recording gizmo so that when I interview people for stories I can hear what they are saying on the recording."

"Ever wish your iPod, WalkMan or radio had a little more volume? Well if you want to piss off that couple from Kinosha staying in that room next door at Courtyard Marriott room this is the little gizmo for you."

"In general the sound just came to life in a way that my iPod couldn't muster on its own. Transients had more snap, drums had more slam, mids had more presence and palpability and the overall result was much more involving music."

"This is a great tool for families with multiple kids who need to listen to the same movie on a laptop or portable DVD player with headphones. We had three headphones plugged in and all the boys were very happy. Better yet, it is also an amplifier which helped the kids hear over the roar of the airplane engines."

The Travel Insider Review

"The Boostaroo is compact, light, inexpensive, and simple to use - a great gadget to enhance your (and your friends') listening experience."

Computing Unplugged Review

"If two of you want to listen to the same program while traveling (for example, my wife and I like to listen to and discuss audio books together), the Boostaroo provides two output jacks for two sets of headphones. This works quite a bit better than simply using an audio splitter."

iPod Observer Review

"...there is no question that the device improves the sound quality of my iPods quite a bit, adding not only volume, but also presence and clarity. Music of all types sounds richer, fuller, crisper, and, of course, louder through the Revolution."

"The Boostaroo Revolution is also a neat little gizmo. It does what it says it's going to do; it draws very little power from its miniscule AAAA batteries; and it is versatile—not committed to any one product."

New York Times Review

"Yes, it's yet another gizmo to carry around. But the Boostaroo Revolution aims to make other gizmos better: it amplifies and improves the sound of iPods and other digital players."

"The Boostaroo Revolution is a great device for anyone who cares about audio, or wants to share the audio with their friends."

Gizmodo Review

Without Boostaroo, my own iPod sounded fine. I have some nice Ultimate Ears ear buds and they have kept me happy for almost two years now. However, once I plugged in the Boostaroo stick, I realized most of the music I was listening to had originally sounded like a truck backing over gravel.

What do you do when you want to use your expensive, high-end headphones with your MP3 player, but you can't get enough volume out of them? The Boostaroo Revolution ($79.95 direct) is a small, inexpensive headphone amplifier that significantly boosts your MP3 player's volume and provides two 3.5mm headphone outputs so you can share your audio bliss with a friend.

Computer Times Magazine Review

Boostaroo Revolution®, from Upbeat Audio, is a great device for anyone who is tired of the pathetic volume produced by laptop computers, MP3 players, DVD players and other portable devices. Many of us blame our headphones but they are not the culprit. Portable devices simply lack the power needed to drive your headphones to produce great multi-dimensional sound. In addition to low power, most portable devices only have outputs for one set of headphones.

For many people, portable audio devices such as MP3 players and hand held gaming devices just don't deliver enough oomph. We're talking volume, people! If you're in that crowd, give the Boostaroo Revolution an audition.

Boasting about the Boostaroo Revolution
Macsimum News Review

The Boostaroo Revolution makes bass more defined and highs clearer and crisper. The sound is louder at a lower device volume level. It also increases the battery life of your audio player, because the player doesn't have to function as the amplifier.

“You say you want a revolution?” The Beatles belted. Start your own on your iPod or laptop with a Boostaroo Revolution.

Travel Lady.com Review

More people are taking their entertainment with them as more content (music, movies, TV) is digitized and more portable players (iPods, the PSP, music-playing mobile phones, laptops, satellite radio players) let them enjoy it on the go. And, couples (lovebirds) want to share their music and movies while traveling.

Just like the Boostaroo Revolution's brochure said, “You want more volume and better audio for your players. Now you can have it all and you can share it, too.” And for this little gadget, it isn't just hype.

Boostaroo Revolution Review

"True audiophiles won't want to leave home without the Boostaroo Revolution from Upbeat Audio (www.upbeataudio.com, $80). Just plug the compact device into any music player and high-end headset to experience 3-channel surround sound plus enhanced volume and clarity."

Boostaroo Revolution Review

"Bass is much more defined, and highs are clear. Using a range of headphones, we detected no distortion and no coloring of tone using the high definition model. ...the unit makes bus and train noise disappear on the morning commute."

Review : Boostaroo Revolution High Definition Amplifier
Boostaroo Revolution Review

"Does it work?    You bet, it is hard for me to quantify the result other than to say that your headset sounds better when used with a Boostaroo. The sound is louder at a lower device volume level for sure (this will save device battery levels BTW), the bass has more punch, and the highs are a bit crisper and the sound is much more CD like than MP3 like."

Boostaroo Review

"The Boostaroo is a nice addition to your bag if you travel with a buddy. In addition to splitting your audio output into three so that you can plug in three sets of headphones, it also provides a 100 percent increase in volume."

The Boostaroo Works Great
Boostaroo Review

"Boostaroo works great with my Power Book and iPod, providing three clean, clear stereo outputs with a noticeable volume gain. The unit is small enough to carry with you, and it's 1/8" output jacks are compatible with most headphones and personal speaker units."

"One way to overcome aircraft cabin noise is to make your music louder, and the Boostaroo amplifier obliges. Even better, it allows up to three people to share the stereo output from a single device, assuming they all have headphones. If you have two or three kids on a long car trip, you need this gizmo."
