PyleBluetooth Home Audio Amplifier Receiver Stereo 300W Dual Channel Sound Audio System w/MP3, USB, SD, AUX, RCA, MIC, Headphone, FM, LED, Reverb Delay, for Home Theater Speakers, Studio - PDA69BU

Initially I've purchased a simple Bluetooth amplifier and a pair of 8" speakers (the kit/bundle sold by Pyle) and tested upon arrival (not installed in full). The sound quality was not "the best" ...although the 8" speakers were 2-way (Tweeter and Mid/Woofer), they did not have a frequency splitter to assign the best frequencies to each speaker (treble-to-tweeter and mid/bass to mid/woofer). Also the functionality is simply to connect over Bluetooth, not possible to add music to a SD card (or USB Drive) and play long hours of music without interruption because the phone had to be exclusively for music playing. In the end the experience was underwhelming - it would not work on a day-to-day, so I've returned the kit.After a much better research into many different options I've found this little-but-mighty amplifier, with much more features than I needed (the Karaoke function was not needed as I only want to install on my wife's office). Ability to play from SD card/USB Drive, Bass/Treble control, The connectivity via Bluetooth is very good, I believe the fact this amp has an external BT antenna made connections very reliable - even through several walls and floors in the house (much more than the standard 10 meter for other BT receivers out there).The sound quality is very good as well. I've installed this amp with a pair of 10" 2-way ceiling speakers from Pyle (with frequency splitter for both high and low frequencies) and the results are amazing.I'm not planning to throw disco-like parties on my wife's office, so the volume you can get without much distortion is relatively high. Quality is present all over from low to mid-high volume. On top volume it brings nasty distortions, as it should. The Remote control is nimble, and very comfortable. I've installed the amplifier in a different room and added an IR Connector (for additional $13) to bring the IR commands from the wife's office to the Amp room. It worked as a charm and now the office has the best sound and ability to remote control by simply pointing to a minimal red dome on the ceiling.All that for the same price (in fact I think I've saved a few bucks with the "upgraded" Amp + 10" speakers if compared to the 8" kit). Still purchasing from Pyle.I'm not much of a review person, but this product has made my day (by way of making my wife happy). So thank you Pyle! Happy wife, happy life!

I bought this amplifier to drive two speakers in my shop. For the price, I'm very impressed. I was able to quickly run speaker wire, and as soon as I turned my computer's bluetooth on it connected to the amplifier and the sound worked. I don't care about hi fidelity, and I won't be using the volume very high, but the sound is markedly better than what I was use to from the TV speakers. My computer is sitting within about 10 feet of the amp, so I can't comment on range, only that it worked easily with my setup.The unit also scans for FM stations and pre-sets. It gets reasonable reception, so I'll be able to listen to NPR over the airwaves if the mood ever strikes. The tuner is the only reason I thought to drop the rating from 5 stars. While it scans and creates presets (22 in my case), you don't have any control over whether you want a station as a preset. But I didn't buy this as a radio receiver, so why complain.I am turning the unit off at night as it doesn't have any third party safety marks. It works tremendously well for the very low price, but that's exactly my concern with leaving it powered on when I'm not present.

I was looking for a way to stream my music that didn’t involve spending large amounts of money but was tired of the sound coming from my Bluetooth speaker. I read a lot of reviews balancing the pros and cons of this Pyle receiver and for the price I decided to give it a try. My use case was to mainly stream music so the other features such as the FM radio, and karaoke were not really that important to me.When I got it, I connected it to a pair of old Sony speakers that I had around from an old system and it surprised me. It’s got plenty of power and sounded really good although the equalizer presets were not of my liking.later I added a pair of new Sony SSCS 5’s 3-way speakers into the mix and the combination blew me away. It sounds very pleasing and the bass was punchy although I would add a powered subwoofer to the line out.Bluetooth connectivity is a breeze as it paired very quickly with my IPhone 13 mini. The appearance and finish is very decent specially for the price. Clarity is great but you need good speakers. The controls are pretty much easy to use. The performance that you get for the money is very good although if you are an audiophile you might have another opinion.The remote control is the thing that I dislike the most because it is limited to line of sight. Lastly, I did notice a hum coming from the receiver when music is not playing. The hum disappears as you turn the volume up. The receiver is not perfect but if you only want to stream music like me, get some good speakers and start enjoying your albums. I would recommend it specifically if you are on a tight budget.
