So I have been riding with my Droid playing Pandora but the volume on my phone is much lower than the radio or CD. So I ordered one of these to try to boost the output a bit. Anyone had any experience with these?

Silly question, but have you tried turning your phone volume up while it's playing Pandora? That may solve your problem without any extra gadgets....worked for me.

Not a silly question at all... it happened to a friend with an iphone... but unfortunately not my issue. It's funny because at times the volume is fine. Seems best after one of those commercial interruptions. But other times I have to switch back to the radio because I just can't hear it. Probably something to do with my phone hardware, but figured I would try a $20 fix before replacing the phone. In case it means anything to anyone, I have an LG Optimus Slider Android phone.

Some of the songs they have are quieter than others. I have noticed that to be the case over the last year I've had Pandora, and I paid the $36 to avoid the commercials...still does it (the volume thing)

OK... I picked up one of these things and all I can say is wow! I now ride with great sound and clarity at only half volume or less on the radio. I am very impressed! Now lets see how long the batteries last.
