Pyle 200W Stereo Power Amplifier with Bluetooth - Dual Channel Audio Receiver - LED Display - RCA - USB - SD - MIC IN - FM Radio - AUX Input - Perfect for Home & Computer Audio - PDA29BU.5

Being familiar with Pyle products from years ago, I figured the claimed "200 watts" was probably not going to be accurate. That being said, I kept an open mind when I purchased this little amp for my garage. I had been using an older 40 watt JVC bookshelf stereo set that still sounded good, but didn't have Bluetooth. All I really wanted from this amp was to be able to stream music from my phone. Hooked it all up and was very pleasantly surprised. It pushed the 40 watt speakers perfectly with surprisingly good sound. No hiss or clipping like other reviews have stated. Decent bass. As an experiment I hooked up some larger 200 watt Sony passive speakers from my old home theater system and it sounded horrible. Very tinny and not very loud. So being realistic with what you are working with, this amp is perfect for a garage or workshop if you use speakers it can handle. Connected to Bluetooth flawlessly. I did not try the FM stereo or the aux. As an aside, I made sure my phone volume was all the way up before I turned the volume up on the amp. This may alleviate some of the issues other users are reporting. The treble and bass knobs let you dial the sound in to suit your preference. Very happy so far with my purchase.

I couldn't be more pleased with this. I connected to Cerwin Vega 8ohm speakers from the late 90s and everything sounds spectacular.Bluetooth works great and was easy to setup and connect. Radio works well too. 5 stars!. Can't believe I can buy this for less than $30!!!

At less than $30 this is a good valueIt works right out of the box and haseasy to use controls.Hooks right up super fast to phone for Blu-tooth useHave not been able to pick up too many radio stations, but will try better positioning.Power is decent for such a small size.Small space saver design.Great way to try some old speakersyou have always wanted to use.

I had Prime points to burn so I took a chance on this gem. It shouldn't be this good for this price, but it is (as long as it holds up). We will see.It comes well packaged and has nice finishes and is heavier than I expected for this price. If it really puts out 100w then it ought to be heavy to better dissipate the heat generated, so that's a good sign. Functionality is all you could expect at this price-point - Bluetooth connected right up, and the flashdrive loads up and plays like an album collection (I spent part of last winter ripping all my old CDs to MP3s). The radio? Well, don't buy it for the radio. Its scans and saves stations, but it's weak. I got about half the stations I can pick up in my car and some of those aren't so clear. It has 5 preset EQs (Rock, Classical, etc.) plus a No EQ setting. And it comes with 2 mike inputs that I suppose could be used to hook up some other low level source. I don't need it and I haven't tested it.I've hooked it up to a couple of old Boston Acoustics A60s I've had stacked in the basement for years and I think it sounds great. It will play louder than I'll ever want it to in my office and I think it would do all right for a little party out on the deck. If you're hosting a rave you might want to spend a little more money.So I'm happy with my purchase, if it holds up. I can hear my old man telling me "if it sounds to good to be true..." If you don't see an update to this post you can assume it's turned out to be true.

Works perfect with my computer. Not as loud as I was hoping but the sound quality is impressive and for the price you can’t go wrong.

Getting to the punch line right up front. I'm going to try to return this thing. I'm very frustrated. I feel like they should actually pay me for the time I invested in unboxing, hooking up and trying this thing! But, if I am being fair, if I had gone and read some of the negative reviews, (which call out exact complaints I have experienced), I would probably have moved on to a different choice. So, in the ugliest sense, I own a little bit of this because I should have done a little bit more homework.Noticeable backround noise starts when you turn on the power switch, even with no program content, volume at any setting (0 - 100 %). As far as how loud this noise is: Not as loud as normal conversation. About the same level as you might want your music if you just wanted to hear it but want to not wake up anyone else in the house, or be able to easily talk over it. Maybe the level an quality/character of a running clothes dryer 5 feet away from you (complete with the higher/lower events from clothes rolling around inside the drum).So that's the noise issue.The second one is that the remote functionality is horrible. it's hit/miss and I am pointing the remote directly at the machine with my arm stretched out at it. Remote winds up being maybe 5 feet from the unit, and still does not consistently work.Finally, if you plan to use FM feature, and you think you're going to want to move between stations, then pack your patience. It is a PITA (pain in the ...). For me, it was a "don't care" because my only use case for this thing was going to be BT streaming for music in my study while I work.Really, the only things I like about this are the concept (which is why I purchased it). The small size, BT connectivity (with FM for very occasional local news or music if internet went down) and quoted power all that I needed for this thing to do. If only it could have actually done that.What application would be OK for this? Well, if you're going to "set it and forget it", picking a station or BT source once per day and let it run in an environment where you have a decent amount of base background noise (a store, a workshop with machinery running), then this unit, at this price point, might be able to work for you. It certainly doesn't work in my home study where there is no background noise, the desired music volume might be low, and the ability to easily change setting with remote is important.
