The a/c powered boostaroo revolution audio amplifier & sound enhancer works fantastic! I replaced a wireless headphone setup with a wired headphone because the rechargeable batteries kept running down on a long weekend. But when my wired headphones were connected to the back of my DIRECTV box, even with my volume on my headphones turned completely up the sound was still very low. With this amplifier plugged onto the wire and my headphones plugged into it, the volume on my headphones is hardly turned on at all. This unit is so small yet powerful! Thanks, Boostaroo!

I got the revolution paired it with koss titanium pro 1a and it is so clear, even at high volume. I can hear every note. Crisp clear loud sound. Awesome product...I will be buying another revolution for my home.

Believe it. I am using the first set of batteries for 90 hours of listening (about an hour a day during my walking time) and there is no sign of fatigue. Amazing. All that on top of the first class quality of the Revolution unit I have. I am very happy with this product.

I am very hard of hearing and originally bought the Boostaroo so that I could hear the audio on my iPad.
Recently I tried it with the headphone jacks on my computer because without it I could not hear the audio. With it I can.
Further I am impressed with how long the AAAA batteries last. I am still on the original batteries and have used it for several hours.

Really pleased with the boostaroo. I use it on my motorcycle to increase the output of my satellite radio or Ipod which I can use with either blue tooth or via custom earplugs. A well built product with long battery life and just the right boost for my electronics products.

I just wanted to say that I ordered your audio booster a few years ago with the same headphones that I ordered today. I do at-home medical transcription, and this device has been very helpful to me. I have hearing problems and after seeing an audiologist for a hearing test, he suggested I get an audio booster. I looked online and found your website. Just wanted to say how thankful I am. I even recommended you to some of my fellow transcriptionists!

Perfect for listening to satellite radio in Military Trucks!

i love it, listening my mp3 in my motorcycle helmet with the Boostaroo is perfect.

I have several Boostaroo Revolution's. A must for the motorcycle Rock-n-Roller.

We own two Boostaroo® Portable Amplifier and Headphone Bundles.We use one bundle to listen to the TV in our bed room. We love how clear the sound is and we replace the batteries very seldom.
we use the second pair of In-line Volume Control Headphones in the bed room so we can both listen to TV with one amplifier.
The second amplifier is used in my car to power a 4 inch speaker I use with my radio scanner.
October 20, 2011 Carol Weaver
I have two Boostaroo's and plan on buying a couple more. I have a severe hearing problem and my Boostaroo's allow me to enjoy television, music, the computer and most things that require hearing that my hearing aid alone does not let me do.
I wish that Boostaroo made devices that helped with the telephones as that is still difficult for me and the better phones for hearing problems are too expensive.
Thank you Boostaroo for making life a little better for me.

I love my Boostaroo. I have a motorcycle helmet intercom system. One of the features is the ability to attach an mp3 player. The volume was never loud enough to hear well. Then came Boostaroo. Not I can hear it loud and clear!! Thanks Boostaroo!!
October 20, 2011 David
This little gadget goes to show that even though it's a little fellow it packs a giant size punch. I use it in the garden and car and I'm forever being asked what is that, I reply that's my Boostaroo mate !!.
A neat bit of kit, well done.
October 19, 2011 Michael B Miracle
I ordered the Boostaroo to help improve my volume coming from my computer to my home stereo. I was pleasantly surprised that it added the volume I was looking for. It was very easy to hook-up and all I had to do was adjust my computer volume such that it didn't distort. Don't know how many decibels it increased but all I know is the music coming out of it now is much improved. The only thing I regret is that I didn't know about this sooner. Very satisfied with purchase.
October 19, 2011 sandro
It really does improve the sound quality and boost the volume too! Those AAAA batteries can be more difficult to find in some stores though. I would rather have triple A batteries, they are more common even though they are a little thicker.
October 19, 2011 bill
Have 3 Boostaroos....like all of them fine. Use the smallest one on my Honda Goldwing Motorcycle to boost XM radio signal and iPod signals back through the speaker system.
Challenges on AAAA models 1. batteries are hard to find. 2. without a switch and light to remind me to shut it off I have left it plugged in and drained the batteries in a few days. Make more stuff...
October 19, 2011 AdamR
Hello, I am probably one of your first customers! I still have the Boostaroo. I purchased it for riding my motorcycle and it has never failed. I probably have over 70k miles with it.
Thanks again for a great product I could not do without.

I live in Malaysia, in South-east Asian region. During my leisure time, I like to hook up my laptop to LCD TV to watch various media contents. I use Boostaroo (the model that uses two AA-size batteries) to boost my laptop audio output to my home theatre system (with Y-cable). My encounter with Boostaroo has been a pleasant one ! However, there is always room for improvement for Boostaroo.
Technical aspects
I would prefer a model that can be powered with either batteries (AA or AAA, the common sizes) or USB port. I really look forward for this versatility. Personally, I think Boostaroo is of great use for computer users, especially laptop users. I never use it with my earphone, loud sound is bad for ears. Secondly, I would prefer the plastic housing to come with solid color, instead of semi-transparent one. It looks ugly to see the circuit board, the batteries and the sponge around the batteries.
Marketing aspects
Like I said previously, Boostaroo is great for computer users. Perhaps, the company may consider a tie-up with computer manufacturer like Dell to bundle Boostaroo as accessory. I think many would be happy to have it by looking upon laptop and LCD tv are getting more affordable these days. In fact, many though not all, prefer to play their video and audio contents straight from their computer instead of going through conventional dvd/vcd player. PC provides great flexibility over conventional entertainment appliances.
Ok, that's all for my feedback. Adios !

I am a musician/DJ also working in the radio business. Discovered that the audio output from my headphone jack on my laptop didn't have enough punch to feed the station mixing board, levels to low. Searching the web, found the Boostaroo. What a perfect product. Simple in design, small and compact and gives me the exact boost I need for radio work or for feeding into my DJ gear. I'm also an Electrical Engineer and can really appreciate the engineering that went into the Boostaroo. Fantastic product guys (and gals). MRJay

Installs like nothing easier, works fantastic!
October 19, 2011 Mark Nelson
They start working well, but it doesn't last long. The jack input is the culprit. I have two of them, and now they work nicely as doorstops. Shoddy materials and poor workmanship makes these a poor choice. I contacted you people, but was told there was nothing to be done. Now, I will do nothing and avoid these like the plague.
October 19, 2011 Tony York
Great product, especially when sharing a media device and sound levels drop and things like aircraft noise takes over. Boostaroo fixes that no problems. Only downside is use of AAAA batteries, which are not always readily available, so make sure you buy a spare when you by any replacements.
October 19, 2011 Vicki
Yes indeed I love my Boostaroo. After getting a netbook and wanting to watch a DVD on the player in the car or listen on a train forget it with the regular volume on a net book. Terribly low. I talked to my nephew who has a computer business and he recommended the Boostaroo. Saved my listening times in the car or train or plane. Wonderful wonderful. Thanks to the audio amplifiers at Boostaroo.

I have a 2011 Harley Limited with a Garmin 665 Navigation and Xm radio built in the garmin...The 8mm jack from the Garmin goes into the Boostaroo and then into the Aux. Jack of the radio.The Boostaroo is hidden in behind the radio..Wow the increase in volume is fantastic. Worth every penny..
October 15, 2011 Kimberly Barros
I found the Boostaroo perfect for my Panasonic flash video camera which had a microphone out but not a headphone out. A complaint on Prosumer Videocams is that they lack a headphone out, but this unit solves that problem. Using the Boostaro with a y stereo female adapter connected to the a/v cables, I was now able to monitor the signal and adjust the auto gain control (AGC), and volume coming in through the microphone. The headphones can also be switched out to a more sound proof type unit to eliminate external sounds for monitoring in a noisier environment. Great value product and highly useful.
October 11, 2011 Robert Pitts
I recently purchased a Boostaroo portable headphone amplifier and splitter from Radio Shack to help boost the volume of my mp3 player on my autocom system during a recent 5000 mile trip to Canada on my motorcycle. The unit performed fantastic, and I was amazed at how long the batteries last.
October 7, 2011 sheila bean
I use my boostaroo revolution to amplify the music from my mp3 player to my monster clarity speaker. Before using the Boostaroo some songs I downloaded had low volume now they come in loud and clear. Great product I love what it does for my music. I'm a portable girl because of my job. Scheduled Bus driver.
September 8, 2011 John Buffaloe
Wow! I bought the Boostaroo with the inline volume controls to solve a low output problem with a new Toshiba Thrive. I'm using Sony MDR-22NC ear buds, and even at a low impedance of 15 ohms there was nowhere near enough volume unless you're in a library. I plugged in the Boostaroo and problem way more than solved. I bought the two inline volume controls so my wife and I can enjoy movies in flight at our own comfortable listening level. This is an excellent product at an excellent price. There's enough gain in the Boostaroo that I could turn down the output on the Thrive and still get plenty of volume. I never heard of this product, but having bought and used it I, as a retired broadcast engineer, highly recommend it.

I have just received today my Boostaroo rev. amp. I use it on my sport activity and I am very very impressed and satisfied from the great sound. I am still concerned about the availability of AAAA batteries in Israel at this moment. Bottom line - very happy.
August 31, 2011 Carol Weaver
I am hard of hearing and have two Boostaroo's at present and plan on buying more. It really is a great product. I use it for TV, DVD, Laptop and iPod.
August 29, 2011 Jonathan Dow
Your Boostaroo T613 volume booster was a godsend for me so I can hear better on DVD movies and learning computer skills.
Thanks and keep up improving your products...
Sincerely,

Exceptional. FLIPPING EXCEPTIONAL!!

I ordered one to listen to satellite radio on my motorcycle, but once I received it I realized that it did not have a built in volume control to regulate the volume going to my helmet so I had to order that as well (the schematic diagram on this website does not show a volume control). It worked good for about 2 weeks, then one of the connections inside came loose. Rather than re-order a new one, we soldered it back in place. Then the output plug came loose (hey, motorcycles vibrate) and we put epoxy on it. First trip this year it stopped working and we don't know what is wrong but we can hear something rattling inside. Just beware that these are very fragile units. I think I will be looking for something a bit more durable.
--- Follow Up From Boostaroo.com ---
Our amplifier units do not come with a built-in volume control. In most cases, the user is able to adjust the volume directly from the audio source. We do offer volume control cables that can be purchased as accessories to all of our amplifiers.
With our R234 amplifier models, the LED cap has an extension built in to funnel the red light. This can sometimes rattle inside the unit.
The customer made no contact with us to deal with the broken amplifier unit. We offer a 90-day return policy and a full 1 year warranty on our amplifiers. We could have easily shipped them a replacement for their unit. We take pride if offering reliable amplifiers. If there is a problem, we will help remedy it.

The Boostaroo Revolution was an easy way to boost the signal from my iPod to my amplified motorcycle speakers and get even more sound from them allowing me to enjoy my music on my road king (loud pipes) even at highway speeds.The only drawback is that the unit is not weatherproof and even though I installed in as dry a location as I could, it crapped out after two years of use. Still the best option out there and I'm ordering another.
May 31, 2011 Kenneth Bradley
I used the Boostaroo t613 on a flight from Dallas TX to Dubiax I used less than 20% of my iPod battery. Used sure 3 amp ear buds and never missed a sound.
May 15, 2011 Bill Alberts
Had a Garmin Zumo 550 installed on my motorcycle. The unit is wired so the sound comes through both the external and helmet speakers. The volume was terrible and after some research discovered this is a known problem with the Zumo 550. I purchased the 12 V Boostaroo Revolution and the volume is excellent. I actually had to turn it down one notch.
May 12, 2011 Diane Furber
This item is fabulous with our wired headphones with inline control by Sony. This product solved the problem with upgrading to a LED HDTV that had no headphone jack and one a LCD HDTV that had a headphone jack. With the dual split that we use with our headphones the sound was cut in half on both TV's and NO ONE knew how to work around it with the headphone we use and like. Radio Shack suggested the battery Boostaroo and it worked fine but we prefer not using batteries. A search on the web and we found your company. I have read so many ratings on HDTV and people having exact problem we were having and did not know how to work around it. Plus we bought our two TV's to upgrade into the 21st Century and neither vendor could give us suggestions how to remedy the amplifications of our headphones. We sing your praises!

I do not understand the technology involved, but, boy, can I hear a difference on my Bose headphones.
April 27, 2011 Rick Bertolette
Hello, just a short note-just purchased your Boosteroo model T613 at my local radio shack and am impressed at the quality of sound I am getting and the saving of battery power I save on my BlackBerry Torch smartphone. These phones use a lot of power already, your product should be sold where BlackBerry and other high end smart phones are sold. The sales person at Radio Shack told me and sold me on your product, but seeing it hanging on a peg on a wall really didn't do your product the justice and respect it rightly deserves.Your product needs a display that people can try and be amazed by. Well thank you for your time and a great product, take care and have a great week. Respectfully, Rick Bertolette Lemoore, CA

I do sound for a southern gospel group. We were using a self-powered mixer, with a 1/4" SPEAKER LEVEL output, but no HEADPHONE output, so, from the mix position at the back of the room I couldn't hear the on-stage monitors, to do a mix for the musicians. I had a LINE LEVEL output on the mixer from the monitor bus, that I was able to plug the headphone amp into, (using 1/4" adapter) and subsequently, was able to hear the monitor mix in my headphones to set-up the proper mix for the musicians onstage. Great sound!
December 29, 2010 Joshua Shuky Naamani
I bought T613 and it made me very happy. The result of this item is outstanding. However' some points for the product designer:1- There must be a hole to attach a lanyard to hang on the neck or put on belt. I use it with my Sansa Clip for sport.2- The red "on/off" light is not well located. Can not be seen easily.3- Inserting the bateries is not as easy as should be.
December 22, 2010 Mike
Wish I knew about this when I first got my iPod. It's a must have if you're using big headphones. The 250 Ohm Koss Pro 4AA I use seemed ok with the iPod. Then I figured out what I was missing in detail and dynamic sound with the Boostaroo Revolution now the iPod isn't struggling to drive them. It's made in the USA too!!! Good Job!
December 15, 2010 Vic
That booster works great. It made a big change in the sound. Thank you
December 6, 2010 Chris Kanaris
Great piece of kit. I'm and electronics engineer and was about to build one of these

Your R-234 model got here and works great for boosting the helmet speakersso NOW I can hear my MP3 player while riding my motorcycle.
November 9, 2010 Michael Berkowitz
Very Impressive! The first thing I did was hook it up to my iPod Classic with Bose headphones. The sound quality and frequency response was outstanding. Thank you for making such a great product

I use your product to enhance the sound quality and volume for my MP3 player while I ride my motorcycle. Works great!
August 17, 2010 Patricia Lucas
I am a legal transcriptionist so hearing every single word or utterance is critical to my work. I had a piece of audio that was very faint and I just could not hear it no matter what volume boosting software I ran it through.I had heard of Boostaroo from colleagues at a transcription forum I am a member of (Transcription Essentials) and decided to try it. WOW! It boosted the audio so much I actually had to turn the volume down! It was so easy to use
August 4, 2010 Christine M.
I have recommended Boostaroo to all my Scopist Support Group members. Your product works well

June 1, 2010 Joe Stiehl
I hook my Boostaroo to my laptop then to my external speakers. The sound is "boosarooed" using less volume and no distortion. I use it for music as well as movies. The quality of sound is fantastic and now fills the room and I can take it anywhere in my laptop case. Simply the best!
May 25, 2010 Gloria Thompson
We truly LOVE the Boostaroo amplifiers we got to go with our Sony headsets which we use only for air travel. Prior to your product

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I recently purchased a Boostaroo Original for usewith my CREATIVE ZEN MP3 player and TORK XPRO helmet speakers. I found theOriginal just didn't provide the volume increase I was expecting. Icontacted the customer service department and explained my situation.Their support guy advised me that it was underpowered for my MP3 player/speakerselection and the Boostaroo Revolution was the appropriate unit for myuse. I was immediately offered the option of a refund for my purchase or anexchange for the Revolution. Really refreshing to find excellent customerservice like this!
February 26, 2010 Cindy Richardson
Very happy with my amplifier. Just wanted to let you know.
February 22, 2010 Steve Schindehette
I purchased the 12V Boostaroo in order to install Sirius radio on my Yamaha FJR1300. I purchased a totally cool "Fuze Block" and wired the Boostaroo into the block. AWESOME!! Now I can actually listen to the radio with clarity and volume.
February 12, 2010 Marcia
I'm a medical transcriptionist who is losing her hearing because of long-term prednisone therapy. One of my bosses had me order a little Boostaroo amplifier for my PC headphones quite a while ago
January 14, 2010 Jim Bednarz
Dear Boosteroo:I have had my Boosteroo for a year and have had NO problems. I attach one end to my little ZEN V Plus and the output to my Bose QC-2 headphones. Result? My volume on the ZEN is at 6 when I used to have to blast it at 14 or max it out to use it when walking. It is that good. Well done! I always demo the product by taking it off the boosteroo and then hooking the boosteroo back up. Everyone notices the difference. Great product.
January 13, 2010 Helen H.
I am profoundly deaf and for a long time just used my Boostaroo with an iTouch. Last night I tried it with my Apple laptop and for the very first time in the five years I have owned it I could hear the audio.

I have used 2 Boostaroo products on many long flights with Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones. Works perfectly. Thanks for a great product.
November 10, 2009 Joan Kohler
Thank goodness for Boostaroo! My dad had trouble distinguishing conversations on television and had virtually stopped watching tv. The amplification of Boostaroo has now allowed him to hear all tv programming at a lower volume and much greater clarity. This is a great product
November 9, 2009 Alex Y.
Your Boostaroo for Ipod with up too 400% increase is the best toy I have had all year...It even beats the Rolex for my birthday!!!It gives back the volume I use to get out of my first Ipod 8 years ago..but does not give enough to distort the music.I finally after 4 years
November 4, 2009 BILL LANE
I purchased you 12 volt amp for my 2010 Harley Softtail Deluxe.I was looking for a small consealable amp to boost the output of my Sirius plug and play receiver. What a product. I can listen with ear plugs with your inline volume control at less then half volume.The biggest asset to your amp is it already has 3.5 in and 3.5 out
November 2, 2009 Rocky
I am using the Sony MDR-EX85 earbuds with the T613 battery amp. They are supposedly rated at 16 ohm with 5khz- 23k hz rating. I have it to my PSP and it sounds awesome.
October 20, 2009 Mike K.
I like your product so much!!! It's awesome! On the internet there are amps which cost 100's of $$$ But Your product is just as good as them!!! High Tec!
October 6, 2009 Michael K.
Many Thanks to you and the inventor.You did a wonderful job with packing and shipping it

I just received my Boostaroo Revolution today and tried it out. It's fantastic! I have a pair of very high end pair of headphones.
September 7, 2009 Galen E. Clothier
I have a severe hearing loss and wear bluetooth enabled hearing aids. I purchased a Voiis stereo music bluetooth adapter for TV audio but the signal was not loud enough. I then purchased your AC Powered Boostaroo Revolution and now the signal is perfect along with very high quality audio. You need alert others with bluetooth adapted hearing aids (with a streamer) about your product. Thank you for this excellent solution to my problem.
August 15, 2009 Gloria
We are seniors who travel by air a couple times a year. Our DVD player was impossible to hear (despite the fact that we were using Sony Noise-Cancelling headphones). Alas....our salvation was the Boostaroo Revolution Hi-Fi Amp.
August 14, 2009 Wesley Doyle
I have Boostaroo for my computer and its wonderful.
August 11, 2009 Marshall Baker
I received your AC Boostaroo and am so satisfied! The sound volume -- as I thought it might -- is a major improvement over your battery model.

July 23, 2009 William Burrows
Just got my Boostaroo and it works great.
June 15, 2009 Arthur A. Hayner
I just bought your original (3 splitter) Boostaroo from RadioShack and LOVE it! I expected little boost and lots of distortion but instead got the boost I needed and no distortion even with my MP3 player turned all the way up! I'm using the Boostaroo in my car with my Archos 605 MP3 player which I play thru the car (Ford Freestyle) stereo. My problem was that even with the Archos and the car stereo turned all the way up some MP3's just didn't play loud enough to hear when the car windows were open. Now my problem is solved! Thanks for the pleasant surprise of a great product that exceeded my expectations!
June 14, 2009 casey
Installed an XMP3 portable sat system into a new Ford Mustang. Also installed gateway network bus to enable the system to operate with the OEM stereo. The Boostaroo saved the day. line out power from mobil radio very poor and system install is useless without the Boostaroo. easy to mount and the power supply being a cig lighter is perfect. I will be buying a second unit.
June 11, 2009 Prokopis Totkas
Input signal from my mp3 player to the aux in of my car radio cassette CD player was very week.Then I bought revolution Boostaroo and the problem was solved at once.Now I hear louder sound with the best quality and most important without spending money to batteries.Thank you very much people.

I just love my Boosteroo! Only problem is... I have to hide it from the kids!
April 17, 2009 Richard Gerber
LOVE your product on my long motorcycle rides. Many repeat purchases and have passed on tips to many others to buy your good stuff!
April 16, 2009 Tom Caloia
Just wanted to thank you for a great product. My 95 year old Dad needed just that little extra "Boostaroo" in order to listen to the TV at a volume that's comfortable for himself.
April 16, 2009 Ira Rosnel
The Boostaroo Revolution is a great product. I just purchased my second one.
April 7, 2009 Mike Ward
How many times can you say "THANK YOU" to such a great company with super people with such outstanding products?
January 29, 2009 Charles Perry
I ride a Harley Davidson motorcycle with a factory stereo and upgraded speakers. My stereo has sufficient volume, however; when I input music through my Ipod, I lose approximately 25% of my volume. I received a Garmin Zumo 450 for Christmas and it has a built in MP3 player. When playing music through the Garmin, I would lose approximately 50% of the volume. I considered purchasing an amplifier at a cost of around $400 until I learned about the Boostaroo. I figured I had nothing to lose because if it didn't work, I could give it to my daughter. I went riding this past weekend and I am very pleased with the Boostaroo. It brought the volume from the Garmin MP3 player to a level just slightly above the factory stereo. Instead of keeping the volume at 100%, I now keep it at 50%. I would not be able to use my MP3 player without this product. The only drawback is that it operates on batteries. Since this will be a permanent part of my motorcycle stereo system, I need a product that can be wired into my electrical system (inside my faring). I have been informed that one will be available in the future and I am looking to purchasing one when available. I highly recommend this product.

I just had to write to let you know I received my order today and to thank you for such an outstanding little miracle device. I had been put off for awhile by unfavorable user reviews on Amazon, but as I read more of them I began to suspect that some were by people who had no notion of the relationships embodied in Ohm's law.
Your tables of specifications clearly showed that the battery-powered and AC/USB models were identical, except for their power source, and that Boosteroo's effectiveness related directly to the rated impedance of the headset connected to them. However, some people just don't get it. I do, and am very happy with your product: the best little amplifier I've ever tried - hands down.
My endorsement is based on several decades of listening through various audio devices since I have lived with a hearing impairment since age 12 (now 62). So I have had many disappointments along the way. Not with Boostaroo, however. As soon as I received your package, I ran a non-scientific test, finding the weakest audio signal station on our new HDTV and, with my 24-ohm Sony Studio Monitor headphones connected directly, adjusted the TV volume to the level at which I no longer had to lip read to understand what was being said. That level was 90%. I then connected the headset to my new Boostaroo and increased volume from zero to the same hearing acuity level. That reading was 25%! In fact, I couldn't go beyond about 40% without risking damage to my ears or the headset.
In my book, that signal boost is better than outstanding, especially since I could detect no distortion or noise at any frequency. Amazing! I no longer have to drive others out of the room turning up the volume on our external sound system so that I can hear. I can now just use the separate, pre-wired headset directly from the mini-plug circuit on the TV for my level of stereo audio. I can't thank you enough, and my family thanks you too :-)

I finally received my order and I just wanted to thank you for it. The 'Boostaroo Revolution' works just wonderful... it's does everything you claimed it would do.
Due to my advanced age I have to use earphones to enjoy my music and most of all my television programs. This small piece of equipment works miracles and since usually TV Channels deliver audio at different values the volume control is a big plus.
My other hobby is 'Flight Simulation' and my problem it's still the same. Hearing deficiency. So I may consider purchasing one more set.
Thanks again and good luck !

IF YOU OWN A LATE-MODEL LAND ROVER PRODUCT YOU MUST PURCHASE A BOOSTAROO!!
Anyone who has driven any late Rover product with an aux. input should buy this product. The Rover aux. 3.5mm connection offers very poor sound quality at very low levels. Here is a product that more than compensates for both problems. The Boostaroo makes the otherwise very poor aux. connection in a Rover sound like a CD- The best $30 you can spend on a Rover!
