Pyle 10’’ Portable PA Speaker System - Wireless BT Streaming PA & Karaoke Party Audio Speaker, Two Wireless Mic, Wired Microphone, Tablet Stand, Flashing Party Lights, MP3/USB//FM Radio - PT696BT.7

Great sound. But definitely over powers the 12 speakers i have hooked up. But love being able to adjust volume in different areas as I need to. Well worth the money. May just have to upgrade all my speakers.

I like the HDMI ARC feature that came with the unit. The sound is perfect! I use this unit with my LG TV. I may buy another one as a pre-amplifier for my power amplifier. With the remote control, I can connect to my 80's amplifier and then sit back, enjoy the music from different devices!

Remote is little hoky, have to hit buttons several times and have not been able to get remote volume to work. Sound quality is great and easy to Bluetooth connectivty is easy

Straight out of the box, I did not like this receiver.First of all, it is incredibly noisy at all times, even when "powered off" via the remote. There is some sort of fan that is operating at all times, so it's just loud always. When you power off with the remote, there is a flashing red light that is incredibly bright/obnoxious unless you push the button to power it off.Then, if you push the button to power it off, you have to push the button to power it back on (remote won't work when it's manually turned off). While you're at it, if you have a powered subwoofer connected, you'd better make sure you shut that off before you manually power it off because that sucker will scare the bejabbers out of you with some weird power-down blast noise that cannot be good for the subwoofer. I have done this more times than I want to admit.Another thing that was maddening is that the "minimum volume" on this thing is way too loud. So, having some music on in the background while having a conversation is over, now.There doesn't appear to be enough power or signal for the receiver to play audio from a digital antenna on the TV, which is also incredibly disappointing. I even bought an adapter for my coaxial cable (from the digital antenna) to try to connect it directly to the receiver, but that did nothing (and there was no interface to make that work). So, if we watch TV via digital antenna (connected via HDMI to the receiver), we have to listen to audio through the TV. Lame.Now, after about 20 days of operation, a horrible static noise has started, which I have seen people mention in reviews. I was hoping it was just a fluke, but they are correct. It's not a connection issue: I have checked. I could almost abide the rest of the obnoxiousness, but that was the final dealbreaker.10/10 would not recommend this receiver.

Does exactly what I need it to do. Great for me for the back patio. Bluetooth works great. This was the best option I could find with 4 channels for speakers and Bluetooth to connect to the TV. Fm antenna doesn't pick up well and FM stations aren't easy to navigate but ill rarely use FM radio so that isn't a problem for me.

I really wanted to like this receiver. It looked great, sounded good and liked the Bluetooth connection.But I bought this for my home theater and it failed. The optical audio connection drops the signal on low sounds.I tried this with two separate units connected to two different TV sources. Even tried multiple optical cables. Sound kept dropping in and out on quiet scenes. Tried an optical to rca convertor, but then the sound would only go up or down on the unit, no remote control.Then I tried the HDMI route. Unfortunatly to get any signal to the tv, the Pyle receiver needs to be on. There is no pass through. Reciever off-no signal. But, I had sound, even low sounds this time.But, when I went to a 4k signal, the Pyle unit wasn't passing through the siganl at 4k. So good sound, ok picture.So, I boxed this up a second time and returned it.

This was definitely an upgrade from the best Box Store amplifier I had. It's driving an outdoor Ancient pair of Bose 501s and some Polk Audio Atrium6 s. It is able to receive Bluetooth signals no problem from my PC which is like 15 ft away inside the house. But what I don't like is I decided to get banana clips for audio connections because I use the stereo outside but I do not keep it out there all the time. So the banana clips to me I would have thought would be easier to use than just sticking the wires through the back. I apparently have to jiggle the wires and get them just right to make it work it's kind of annoying. I just thought I could slip the banana clips right in and it would be good to go but certain some channels apparently are losing the connection. However power-wise it's definitely decent. I do not regret the purchase at all. But the banana clip thing. Maybe there's a trick to the banana clips that I don't know. So I would not say super durable. But if you're just leave it in the same place kind of person I would not have any fear. And I would say it has power to drive speakers even larger than what I'm using.

I am not an audiophile but have some experience with home sound entertainment systems. I purchased this receiver on Amazon for less than $200 last month and am pleasantly surprised by it. It has 5 channels, two active subwoofer connections, one passive subwoofer connection, 200W per channel, a good FM radio receiver, Bluetooth capability, USB port for playing music files, and more. I have an older, 5.1 stereo receiver, purchased over ten years ago, that costs three times as much but doesn't have some of the features of this receiver. BUT, my older receiver still works well and sounds good; I hope this Pyle receiver lasts as long.I am using this Pyle receiver in another room with the lowest priced, fully automatic turntable that I could purchase on Amazon, a $30 dvd/cd rom player, and some old Energy speakers, so my wife can play her old Reader's Digest collections of records and our old music CDs. The sound quality is great and if one of the components in the system stops working, it can be easily and cheaply replaced; unlike the all-in-one music centers that can do ten things, none of it well, and not for very long.
