Recent Reviews & Press Clippings. ComputingUnplugged Magazine "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." MacTribe Review "Your iPod will never sound the same again." PRrag.com Review "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." The New York Times "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." Pocketnow.com "In my experience with the device, the audio was strong and clear." Gizmodo Without Boosteroo, 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 Boosteroo stick, I realized most of the music I was listening to had originally sounded like a truck backing over gravel. PC Magazine 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 Boostaroo Revolution®, (Retail $79.95), 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. Maximum PC 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. Macsimum News 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. Delta Sky Magazine "You say you want a revolution?" The Beatles belted. Start your own on your iPod or laptop with a Boosteroo Revolution. Travel Lady.com 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. GadgetMe 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. HandHeld Computing
Parade Magazine
"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."

Having problems hearing your PSP on that packed flight? Can't quite hear your puppy barking in Nintendogs? Need an iPod boost? UpBeat Audio is cookin' up a solution to your woes. The answer is the Boostaroo Revolution, a compact amplifier that adds a little oomph to the sound coming out of your headphones.
Fort Wayne News-Sentinel
"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."
Mobile Gadget News
"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."
Denver Post
"Picky listeners will like the sound of Upbeat Audio's Boostaroo Revolution."
Erie (PA) Times-News
"Give your iPod Nano a boost with a quadruple volume boost and 3-D surround sound from Boostaroo Revolution."
Macworld
"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."
Meta-Efficient
"A pocket-size portable amplifier that will give anything that uses a headphone an increase in volume by 100%. It increases the battery life of your audio player, because the player does not have to function as the amplifier."
The Different District
A compact splitter and amplifier that lives up to all promises. "Boostaroo made a lot of promises about its little device, but every time, the amplifier lived up to them. This is a great little device for anyone who is constantly turning the volume up in public or loud places. It performs its main function well and it also has a lot of side benefits, but overall this is a very solid device."
Motorcycle Consumer News
"I featured the Boostaroo as one of my Holiday Picks about five years ago, but decided to bring it back again because it is still one of my favorite, and most used, gadgets. Simply put, the Boostaroo is a miniature audio amplifier that boosts the input signal and splits it into two, equally powerful outputs to headphones or speakers. Plug in your favorite tape deck, CD player or motorcycle intercom system, and you and your riding partner can both listen, with plenty of volume to overcome wind and engine noise. I use it with my new mp3 player, and it works great. The Boostaroo runs for about 20 hours on a set of two AA batteries, and will also lengthen the battery life of whatever device you're running through it by about 50%, because you don't have to turn up the volume. Small, lightweight, durable (I have one that's over six years old now) and useful, for only $29.95."
PowerBook Central
"Boostaroo works great with my PowerBook 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."
Fortune Magazine
"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. "
Inside-Hardware.com
"This is an amazing little device, it's perfect for those of you who like their music and like it loud! ... It's a nice add-on when you are in a noisy environment and your audio device's built in output isn't' cutting it."
