The Boostaroo Revolution: Do it for your ear's sake

Iria · Oct 9, 2005, 05:42 AM

Your mp3 player's volume isn't very powerful. That's the sad truth. Normally, if you wanted to share your incredibly fabulous taste in music with the cutie that's sitting uncomfortably (and umm... comfortably) next to you in the overly-crowded local coffee house down the street, your only option would be to break out a regular headphone splitter and hope that the signal will be loud enough to capture the the subtle nuances of Kenny G's sweet soprano sax. Yeah. They all love Kenny's sax.

There is another option. Consider the Boostaroo Revolution. It functions as a mini-amp for your portable music devices, so you and a guest can enjoy your tunes at a reasonable sound level.

Honestly, I've never seen them at a retail store, either, but if batteries.com carries them ...

These are not normally sold at retail. Most times you will see these in disposable pen lights, or miniture/portable medical devices. Only time I've ever seen them for sale was direct from the manufacturer.
