Now I am one guy who loves his music and since pre-teenage have been known to my neighbors as the ‘deaf kid’ for the choice of volume levels. When I bought my first ipod, I loved the sound but was kind of disappointed with the maximum volume output. It has been two years since then but finally the gloom has come to an end with the launch of Boostaroo revolution.
It is basically a portable sound amplifier which increases the volume level by as much as 400% and works on a couple of AAAA cells (which I have honestly never come across). Another impressive feature is the splitting feature which means that your ‘friend’ can plug into the amplifier and listen to the same song with the same amplification simultaneously with you.
For $59.99 it seems to be a little pricey but definitely worth the dough although the catch is that you would need high-end headphones with high impedance (60-300 ohms) along with the amplifier if you don’t want to turn yourself deaf with the distortion.

Don’t be silly, you need a Revolution in your pocket.
As we all know, wanting and needing something Are two different things. Right now, on my budget, I’m definitely into the need category for anything that I buy.
So, do I need a Revolution?
Maybe, maybe not.
I can use it to save the battery on my iPod. How? Because with Revolution, I can play the volume much, Much lower on the iPod – which means my battery lasts Longer between charges. And that’s handy. Plus, replacing An iPod battery is mucho expensive, (like, over $100 and it means I have to send it in to do that, so I’m iPodless for a couple of weeks. Who needs that? So, anything I can do to put off that dreaded day is a good thing.
Second, if I use it with my FM Transmitter in my car, I don’t get The dreaded “static drift” because the added power helps it to lock on to my station as I’m driving. Another good thing.
And, using it makes my music sound better than ever. Richer, fuller Like I’m right on stage with the band. So, that’s a very good thing.
And when I go home I can use it with my docking station or mini-computer speakers and get full stereo surrounds sound. Now I can dig that.
Or, go to silent mode and just use it with my headphones. I get Home theatre sound out of this little iPod and my Revolution. A very good thing.
And later, when I feel like playing video games, I can use it to hook Into my Xbox with my boyfriend and we don’t keep everyone awake while we game, yet we can both share kick azz surround sound effects.
And I can use it on my PS2 or portable DVD player for a movie worth listening to when I travel. It even has the power to drive my Noise Canceling Headphones.
My boyfriend Jake and I can use it on his motorcycle, as the two splitters allow us to share and the 4x power gives us what we need to hear over road noise.
Of course, if I add it as part of my disaster plan, (because I would definitely want music if I had to live for ten days with no electricity, heat, or water,) then it just jumped into the “need category”. Since the Revolution is battery
Powered – all I have to do is pick up and extra batteries and I can listen to My music and news while the rest of the world gets its act together.
Yep, no doubt about it. I need a Revolution in my pocket.
So does my boyfriend.
I hope u don’t work 4 these guys
