I bought this amp for my office to replace a 20W, 12V amp I've been using for a few years. The 20W amp worked well but I wanted to move it to my work shop. This new amplifier is better than the 20W and I'm quite happy with it. The sound quality isn't as good as the amp on my entertainment system but, for my little office, it does a really nice job. The control knobs feel really nice when an adjustment has to made, there's a left - right balance which I really like having and this little amplifier supports 3 inputs plus an aux input. I tried the aux input before the other inputs and I was really disappointed in the sound quality until I realized that this input has a higher gain than inputs in the back. The higher gain is great if you have a device, like a smart phone, with an adjustable volume but it may not be very good if your device has a fixed output. Once I found a cable that allowed me to use the inputs on the back of the amp, all was good and I was quite impressed with the sound quality. If I had to buy another basic stereo amp I'd get one of these.

Bought this back in March, waited until August to write a review based on everyone else's issues. I have this amp firing two Polk 4x6's and they sound great!! It syncs every time I turn it on, it charges my phone while listening, equalizer works really well and easy. I built a shelf for it and drilled a hole in the bottom of the shelf under the vents to kinda give a chimney effect, because of the "overheating" issue (basically air flow through unit). Everything from eazy-e to pantera sounds good through this thing. Maybe I got lucky, but highly recommend this to anyone.

I ordered this to boost the volume to my PC speakers. It... works? It is nice, and it does work, the sound is clear and allows bass and treble control etc.. For the price? Acceptable. I would buy it again because it does what I need. If I needed more volume it wouldn't be enough. I would buy it again, only because it is JUST acceptable to me for my computer room.

I'm using it as a desktop amplifier. More than enough power for my Klipsch bookshelf speakers and most importantly, it has a has a headphone jack when I don't want to share my music. I like that it has multiple inputs as well, though I'm only using one right now. FWIW, I am not using the Bluetooth feature so YMMV.

I purchased 2 of these to power a couple of indoor/outdoor bookshelf speakers. I set these up on 2 different desks, each with a set of the speakers hooked up to them. I was amazed at how clean and clear the music sounded through every source. (I haven't tried using the USB input on them) All the RCA inputs and Bluetooth input worked great. The two issues: 1. The microphone input. Microphones do not sound good through the mic input on this amp. Very noisy and distorted. Plug the same microphone into an audio mixer and then line that out into an RCA input on this amp and it sounds good, just not directly through the mic input on this amp. I personally did not plan to use this with a mic, but got a new mic I wanted to test and my big system was packed away, so I tried it with this, then tried the mic through a small mixer connected to this amp and later with my big system and confirmed the mic was not the problem. So just an FYI if you're planning on using a microphone with this amp. 2. The knob on the source selector on both of the amps I got stripped right out of the gate. Just trying to turn the knob to select the Bluetooth and it went a couple of clicks then just spun on the shaft instead of turning it, so I had to remove the knob to select the music source on both amps. I had to replace both knobs with new knobs that have brass inserts instead of the plastic that came on the amp. Still, worth the money. I would buy another one, if I ever needed it.

A very good deal. This amp hooked to a pair of Pioneer 2 ways and an active TDX sub just blew me away. Great sound and at $37 it may be the best bargain on the net. Thanks!

This is a great little amp with a variety of features, but I have had 2 units shipped and both have the annoying buzz on all the channels , left and right sides that is very noticeable . The bluetooth works great and connects easily , but has a loud melody it plays when connecting and is loud . There is intermittent frequency noise during standy , music on pause , or playing music . The noise is louder when you press play and bluetooth is transmitting . Continuous background whine , not bad but once you are aware of it , it's all you hear . No buzz on the bluetooth . The aux in has the buzz and the 3 other RCA inputs , all the same . Sounds like a grounding needs to be earthed better somewhere . Pity , I was hoping the second unit would be great .

I am reviewing this for what it is, a basic multi functional mini amp. No, it is not a thousand dollar orchestra chamber unit. My ears are well over 70 years and survived a decade of working around jet engines. I mostly listen to music from the 50's and 60's, so this sounds fine to me. I have not yet figured out the FM tuner, but that's not what I bought it for. It does what I want it to do.

I replaced a full-size integrated Denon amplifier with this tiny Pyle in order to create more space in my kitchen. It worked perfectly! Perhaps a bit too little treble. Even when I set the treble to max, it's still not as much treble as with a normal amplifier. But it's not much difference. The power LED is extremely bright, it lights up my kitchen in the night, so I put a little cap over it. Bluetooth connection works fine, you have to first choose the CD/BT input, and then press MODE. If I could choose, I think Pyle should design it so that it automatically tries to connect to Bluetooth without having to press MODE. But it's no biggie of course. The volume knob is great. The knob for input selection requires quite a grip to be able to turn it. Pyle should use knobs that are easier to turn in the future. But again - no biggie! The sound is great for the money. This is a great little amplifier for the kitchen or small room etc. Recommended!

Versatile e suono soddisfacente . Led di accensione blu troppo luminoso

El producto es mucho mejor que lo que se describe. Todo funciona genial, el usb, no es sólo para cargar, también reproduce. Muy contento con la compra. Con mando a distancia, que también funciona muy bien. Es más estoy pensando en compra uno para mi hija, para que lo tenga en su dormitorio. Le he conectado altavoces grande y suena muy bien. Para lo que lo quiero tampoco no voy a poner una discoteca en mi casa. Sin ninguna duda es un producto que lo recomiendo. Un amplificador muy completo.

Great little amp for playing music & using with Bluetooth microphone for quiz night!

It exactly matched with my old Sony speakers. Sound quality and control are very good. The negative point is that each time I have to select "Bluetooth" for its operation in Bluetooth mode.
