If you enjoy carrying a portable cassette tape player or CD along while traveling long distances on your bike, but are frustrated by the lack of volume and poor audio quality over your headphones, the Boostaroo is an inexpensive new audio accessory that can quickly make your travels more pleasurable. Boostaroo is a compact, portable audio amplifier and signal splitter that lets you plug in between one and three sets of headphones, and provides you a way to listen to your favorite sounds with improved volume control and no distortion, regardless of wind and bike noise.
According to Boostaroo's inventor, Tom Parker, the innovative pocket-sized audio amplifier (4.5" x 1" x 1") provides a 40 percent increase in decibels, providing the user full stereo channel separation and excellent bass quality without distortion. And the output will sound better than listening directly to an audio device. This is possible, Parker explains, because in a typical CD player, 70 percent or more of the battery power is used to run the turntable, optic reader and the memory chip. "When you have weak batteries, the audio device doesn't run slower or weaker; the power is lost to the headphones. Then you have to crank up the volume to make up for the power loss, which gives you distortion. And turning up the volume also drains the batteries. It's a vicious cycle."
According to Parker, Boostaroo's innovative amplifier allows you to hear your favorite music at lower volume settings, and will increase a CD or tape player's battery life at least two or three hours. It's easy to use; simply plug it directly into the speaker jack of your personal stereo and plug in one, two or three separate headsets, and turn it on via the handy slide switch. The Boostaroo uses two AA batteries, which will last for about 20 hours of continuous use; ample for four or five days of riding without changing batteries.
Boostaroo's performance and durability is fully guaranteed by Parker's manufacturing company, Bowman Inc. The unit carries a 30-day money back guarantee, and is available for just $19.95, plus $3.50 shipping and handling.
