Realistic Stereo Amplified Listener
The Stereo Amplified Listener is a personal
amplifier device that has been sold through Radio Shack® stores for a
number of years.
Over these years it has evolved from a rather large
unit using two "AA" batteries to the smaller units sold today
using two "AAA" batteries.
The brand name has also changed over the years from
the original "Realistic®" to "Techcessories®" to "Optimus®"
