Boostaroo 3October 3, 2008 Upbeat Audio T613-BMC Boostaroo 3 Channel Amplifier & Splitter Design does not allow for any type of mounting. I ride a motorcycle and like most MP3 players, mine can be mounted on the handlebars using a 3rd party mount. If the Boostaroo 3 was designed to at least have an arm strap, it could be mounted.
Also chews up batteries too fast. I don't use is as a splitter, but if the signal is split 3 ways, I would imagine that the batteries would be drained very fast. Should have been designed to use 4 AAs instead of 2.
Otherwise, it is a very good amp and a good way for 2 - 3 people to share a single audio devise.
My first headphone amp.August 2, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have a drawer full of sub one hundred dollar headphones. My newest. Grado SR60s. Pure clean sound for seventy bucks. But could be louder.
I researched headphone amps, I wanted the Grado amp, but I think my wife would kill me. So after reading the reviews on this Boostaroo. I figured I go to Radio Shack this evening and pick one up.
I've only tried it with my Grados and a cheap pair of Sennheiser 201s.
It worked as promised. The volume of both set of cans was boosted. The Grados sound good, the sennheisers have some distortion. But what do you expect from Twenty dollar headphones.
I'll try it with my AKGs, upmarket Sennheisers, the Koss and the various other cans in the forty to one hunderd dollars range in my desk drawer, and let you know how they are.
A product to avoid!July 27, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
First Impression: Looked cool, seemed simple. That's about all that was good about it.
Actual Usage: It required batteries! I don't recall that being in the item description, though I may be wrong. After much hassle of trying to get the batteries to FIT in the compartment and closing it, I was eager to try it. Nothing. It didn't even split the sound. So I tried only one output. Finally, I heard something, but it sounded HORRIBLE. It sounded like my music was being replayed in a ghost movie. I don't even want to TALK about the sound BOOSTING properties, because turning that on gave me nightmares. What ticks me off so much is that you can't use it at ALL without the battery, not even just to split sound without amplifying it. For all I cared, I couldn't even use it as a 6 inch audio cable extension! A waste of time.
Overall: I believe it is pretty self explanatory that, at least, from my experience with the product, anyone who is self-respectful should avoid it. It may have worked for some people, but it certainly did not for me.

Boostaroo amplifier and splitter works pretty much as advertised. Amplification is minimal probably about 2 X the volume. I'm using with mini speakers not headphones and this may not be the optimal product for this task.

I bought a small DVD player for the car. Unfortunately you could not hear the movie with all the traffic noise. This little attachment works Great !!! Now we have 3 earphone with all the volume we need. Would recommend this item again and again for any audio enhancement. "Boosteroo" its true, great value for a small cost.
