Not really sure this is dodgy tech. In an ideal world, the gizmo would help my parents to hear the poorly mastered dialogue on their lousy TV speakers. I've tried a few different electronic EQ gadgets and have been universially disappointed.

There are some good Amazon reviews and a few users indicating glitches. Nice marketing campaign and the gizmo seems to have a lot of parts inside. . .

If the gizmo identified compressed blaring audio of adverts and muted them, that would be a winner and moved to the "Great tech" forum.

I have the basic version of that that is HDMI only with no battery. Was one of their Indiegogo backers.

Overall I am disappointed with the quality of it. It feels pretty chintzy.

As far as functionality, about all I could tell that it did is boost the volume on quieter parts of movies.



It does seem to have some issues with HDMI or the hdcp content protection. Sometimes it has to get turned on and off or HDMI cables unplugged and plugged in to get the video to work.
