5.0 out of 5 stars The remote sucks, but amplifier rocks.

2026-03-02    -Video lover

I use this amp to drive 2 outdoor speakers and it sounds great. The FM tuner does NOT tune any station in Stereo. Always Mono. Note in the official product photo, the Bluetooth antenna you get does not look like that one. It is a short black plastic antenna. The FM tuning up/down is nearly impossible unless you use the remote. The remote [optical remote] seems like it is generic and not tailored to match this product at all. Most of the buttons do nothing. I only use the remote to tune radio stations using the plus and minus buttons as the number pad does nothing. Your Bluetooth range is about 15 feet. Your optical remote range is a disappointing 11 feet. I use the amp at 1/4 volume for about 90 minutes and the amp gives off a perceptible amount of heat. The best part seems to be the flash drive slot. It plays songs off my flash drive in formats WMA and MP3 and WAV. It finds the files and can randomly play them no matter which folder they reside in. Nice!

4.0 out of 5 stars selects FM stations by assigned channel numbers, not freq.

Nice sound with suitable speakers. The instructions were not laid out in a way that was easy for me to understand. It took me a while to understand the tuning of the FM radio. Once I got a handle on it, it works pretty well. Decent sensitivity. It assigns 'channel' numbers to the FM band. I wish I could select a station based on the frequency instead of a random channel number. That is why I took off a star. Otherwise a pretty good value. It's probably obvious I chose this particular amp because I need an FM radio.

Se descompone al poco tiempo de uso.

Es una lástima que la marca no cuide la calidad de sus componentes eléctricos.No duró un año.Se le dió poco uso, a un volúmen menor a un cuarto de su potencia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ease of use

Love it! Bought it “like new” and it was so easy to install!

3.0 out of 5 stars The advertisement states AM/FM radio but this PDA5BU unit is ONLY FM RADIO. NO AM RADIO.

It is good in that it bluetooths well, and plays FM radio well. What was disappointing is that there is NO AM radio function and there was mention of AM/FM in the advertisement. I will keep it but wish that it did have the AM function since my wife listens to AM talk radio often. Working wise, it seems pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously high quality for such a low price

Incredible performance for $40! (I bought used / returned) The stereo mixer/amp has amazingly good sound, super easy to hook up, and allows all my sound system components to be seamlessly connected. Bravo

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and Powerful

Clear sound and easy to hook up I like the fact that it is compact but still has good power

5.0 out of 5 stars My second purchase

2025-12-26    -Michael R. Zboray

This is the second purchase of the exact same model. It drive 4 ceiling speakers in my kitchen and sounds fine. Volume is more than sufficient. Here in the NYC area, FM reception is good. My wife uses it mostly via bluetooth to play iheartradio. There are more than enough inputs. For me it was all rather intuitive except how to first use the FM. The unit must scan the band and then it stores the active stations. From there you can switch from one active channel to the next higher or lower. IIRC, you can enter the frequency using the remote as well. This unit replaces a rather old but working Tandy/Radio Shack stereo receiver/amp that was lacking bluetooth. This unit is easier to use by far. Well worth the price (bought it on Prime day)

GOOD PRODUCT

GOOD PRODUCT. OUTPUT IS DECENT. I HAVE ATTACHED 11 BOSCH SPEAKERS. BLUETOOTH FUNCTION IS GOOD AND CONVENIENT TO USE. GETS EASILY PAIRED WITH MOBILE PHONE. RAGE IS ALSO GOOD. OVER ALL VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE.
