http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/03/technology/boomstick/ This is the latest in a long tradition of magic boxes that "make things sound better," from the bbe enhancer on up to the enhancement garbage built into the Windows sound subsystem. It's just the first one sold as an outboard device for headphones. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Two dipwads = danger!! From reading the review on the page, it is purely an equaliser and booster amp. It apparently gets really nasty and clipped at high volumes, especially at the higher setting. I did the same thing with a couple of BC108 transistors and a handful of passive bits in the 1970s. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

"While TV has made huge strides in terms of quality, from black and white to 4K, audio has been going backward," Appling said in his company's press release. "In fact, our research shows that only 4 percent of consumers believe they are achieving great audio experience with their headphones." Their research. Right! Jack |

Like that rap artist that doesn't play music, but Dre Beats is the best!! Just like this piece of crap, no specifications whatsoever. Not sure who's more dangerous, US Gov. or these freak-show device manufacturers! Maybe I shouldn't have plugged in a pair of $200 headphones to check it out. ;-) -- I like all these reviews, desperate for attention, will praise anything.... and they never tried it!! I need treble, not bass! -- Oh, one decent review said there was a buzzing noise, and the headphone jack is junk! LOL! Jack -- Tciao for Now! John. |
