HiFi Bluetooth Audio Amplifier 298A Mini Stereo Amp RMS 40W Max 300W 2.0 Channel Audio Power Amplifier Receiver w/USB FM Mic for Home, Car Speakers System(US Plug)

It makes a awful loud digging when you switch to Bluetooth no matter if it's turned all the way down or not and makes everyone jump every time 😂 but it sounds real good and makes the TV much louder and I listen to music with it as well. Definitely worth the money but the remote is cheesy and I don't expect it to last very long but it's only temporary anyway. It will probably end up in my shop for music only in the future.

When the 40 year old receiver in our guest cottage failed I looked into a a replacement. We had and have no music source there -- no library of discs or even a player for such, and our location means that little is available on the radio-- just a free standing bluetooth source so that guests could listen to whatever their phone or tablet provides them.This little unit proved to be an inexpensive and totally satisfactory replacement for that older, once upon a time more expensive, gear..It links quickly and has plenty of power for the older, 3-piece, (left and right speakers and a shared sub) speaker system.Too bad they uglify it with all that printed stuff on the case top. And yes, it is noisy when you are first making the bluetooth connection. But beyond those small faults it is just what we needed for our purpose.

Use it in my workshop to play the radio or music from my phone. The sound is great for the application and the small size is perfect,

Just needed something for around the house to listen to the radio. It has volume noise, but works as advertised

All functions well. I’m fully satisfied.

I love this quirky little amplifier. I wonder why they chose to print their advertising and specs directly on the amp though, I don't think I've seen that done before. I personally love that it says "NEW" in a burst, but if you're looking for something streamlined and classy looking, this might not be for you. I'm using some little 3 ohm speakers even though the specs for the amp say 4-8 ohms, it sounds fine, though I haven't cranked it up very high as of yet. The amp plays MP3s from either a USB drive or SD card and they both worked well for me even with the MP3 files in folders. The Bluetooth works well and can stay connected through walls. There are two microphone inputs, there's only one microphone volume control but at least that's separate from the main volume. I tested out it's Karaoke abilities by singing along with some MP3s and it works really well but it would be nicer if there was some reverb, perhaps I can put it through an effect before plugging it into the amp. There's a remote, but you can't be too far from the unit to use it. The remote has six EQ presets to choose from, you can also change volume, track, pause, mode, channel, song repeat mode and on/off and it came with a battery installed. I myself don't listen to the radio much and it's raining right now so I can't judge it's reception abilities, but the radio works and the remote will scan for channels. I haven't had a chance to test out the stereo RCA inputs in the back yet.

I have one and I gave one of these to a friend who was listening to music on her phone's speaker. I added a couple of wired speakers and her phone easily paired with the receiver and suddenly she could hear all the richness of her music that she had been missing.

I expected this device to have RCA outputs so that you can connect it to a receiver or speakers with RCA inputs. I don't know why that wouldn't be included on this type of device. However, the only outputs on this device are speaker-wire ports meaning this can't be connected to any device other than traditional speakers with normal speaker wire. I want this to be able to add bluetooth and other connections to an old vintage Kenwood receiver from the 80's but unfortunately it won't work for that purpose. However if all you need is a mini bluetooth receiver for connecting to some bookshelf speakers or something, this should work for that purpose. I still gave this 5 stars as it seems to work when I powered it on and briefly tested it. I was unable connect it to speakers so I can't speak to the sound quality however.
