Small, compact, nice and cheap!
This little amplifier is one of the best options for people that’s looking for a cheap and nice way to have music on any small place indoor or outdoor, I like to work on my cars on the weekends and I was looking for something to have music on my garage nothing fancy or loud but something that I can hear on a 3 door garage, I saw the first two reviews and I said myself why not try this little unit? I’m really impressed with the quality and the compact size of this amplifier, it connects really quick to my phone and the equalizer is a plus! If you want something cheap and good this is the unit that you should get, if you are looking for something really loud try something else but I can guarantee you that this amp has enough power to handle two 50w speakers with no problem I use the Dual indoor and outdoor speakers and they sound amazing with this amp! The only bad thing is that it doesn’t come with the 12v power adapter but it is ok!!!

A terrific Bluetooth enabled amplifier!
A terrific Bluetooth enabled amplifier! It also has RCA female phono connectors for non- Bluetooth audio devices. Bluetooth range is reasonable too.I used it to salvage an outstanding pair of speakers from am old Sony boom box.My only real complaint is that no power is included, as stated. That's why I only gave the amplifier four starts for valueI ordered this PS via Amazon and it works well: LEDMO Power Supply, Transformers,LED Adapter, 12V, 5A Max, 60 Watt Max, for LED Strip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01461MOGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_w2u5CbQXJTXE4

Amazing little amp; Remember to buy a power supply (2.5mm connector)
Honestly for its size and price, this thing packs quite a punch. My review is based solely on a 5-minute period of testing before I gave it to my girlfriend as a birthday gift along with some custom speakers I built. It drives two 30/300w speakers very well.That said, same as everyone else, I stumbled a little over the lack of a power supply, even if they do mention it in the description (it's one bullet point in the middle of the desc). Having to source a 12v 3a power supply last-minute proved to be difficult, but Fry's does carry a 120vac to 12vdc 5a supply for under $30, for anyone who didn't order a supply, same as me. As well, the connector the amp requires is 2.5mm. Again, I'm using a 5a supply, so I can't testify for how well it behaves with a 3a maximum.In short, I think this amp would deserve 5 stars, because it *is* an exceptional little thing, but I've just gotta knock a star off for not making it clearer it ships without a supply.

Great quality
I connected this to an Apple Airport Express to power outdoor speakers. Extremely happy.I don't use half of its features such as the card reader, remote and the likes.

good
It's perfect for a bedroom or office, or even more if you have very efficient speakers. This amp paired with these speakers is making me enjoy music all over again. Small, inexpensive, good quality, good sound. It's perfect. Buy it.

Works with Amazon Alexa/Echo devices
I bought one of these to try out without being certain it would work the way I needed it, so I was happy when it arrived and did exactly what I needed for such a low price.A few years ago, I installed some outdoor speakers on our patio with the intent of connecting them to our home theater amplifier so we could play music outside, only to learn that our amplifier had very limited options for sources that could be played over the "B" channel of speakers. So we went the last few years using our cell phones or a portable bluetooth speaker when we wanted to spend time in the back yard.Lately, since we bought an Echo Show a year or so ago, we've tended to use it for all our music listening. But we've had spotty connection from it to our portable bluetooth speaker when we go outside due to the placement of the Echo Show and the speaker. So it got me started thinking that there must be a way we can use our outdoor speakers with the Echo Show. I searched Amazon for "bluetooth amplifier" thinking maybe I could find a small, low-cost stereo amp to just stack with our home theater amp.I didn't realize just how small an amp I would find. There were many options similar to this model, all comparably priced. I picked this one because I liked the design, and it seemed like it ought to do what I needed it to do, though I couldn't confirm that it would be compatible with Alexa devices before buying it. It was nice that it works with 4- and 8-ohm speakers, since honestly I couldn't remember what my speakers were rated for.I got it set up in a few minutes. The only complaint I have is that the speaker wire I used to install these speakers is pretty heavy gage and stranded rather than solid, and this amp uses the spring-loaded push-in connections for speaker wire, so I had a hard time getting the wires pushed in. Ultimately I had to use wire strippers to trim the wire end down to a small enough bundle to fit into the connectors. If I had realized this, I might have looked for a device that could accept banana connections instead. But that's not the fault of this product.Once it was set up and turned on, it paired easily with my Alexa device. During the first use, it seemed like the volume was kind of low until we turned up the volume on both the amp and on the Alexa source device. However, on subsequent uses, we've been able to keep the Alexa device at normal volume levels, and the amp volume at about half to give us great sound throughout the yard. I am not a serious enough audiophile to know how much of the great sound quality is due to the speakers and how much is due to the amp, but I can say confidently that I'm happier than I imagined with the sound. I had half-expected that the sound would be tinny or weak, but we get good, rich sound across the whole range from bass to treble. For as cheap as this was, I wish I had found it two years ago.

home amplifier
We are actually very pleased with this product. We have been using this for the last 2 weeks and even used it for a football game on TV last weekend and it works great. Easy to hook up, easy to sync, and the sound isn't bad. the sound is decent for a camper and outside.

SMALL SIZE, BIG PUNCH
I ordered this mini amp and connected it to my control center, it's hooked up to a pair of Realistic Minimus 7 speakers (old timers will remember these) and it sounds great! I listen to my music via Bluetooth on my phone, it's a small size but packs a big punch, the price was good too but I do think they should include a power adapter (I bought the Chanzon 12V 5A 60W power supply to get full power out of it) and I ordered an outdoor surveillance microphone to input into the RCA jacks too!
