Pyle Wireless Bluetooth Portable PA Speaker with USB SD Card Reader, Rechargeable Battery, Wired Microphone - PWMAB250BK (6.5in, 300W)

For around $70 bucks, this is a bargain, and it puts out a lot of sound. With the right microphone (not the one that came with it), it could easily be used for an indoor or outdoor performance.Here are the pros and cons.Pros:- It is small, light, and easy to carry and puts out a lot of sound for the size.- With a good quality microphone (not the one that came with it), it could be used for a singing performance in a small venue such as a church or bar room (or a church bar room :-) ).- The wired microphone that comes with it is adequate for speaking engagements, but not for musical performances.- Bluetooth connectivity (phone can use use it as a Bluetooth speaker, for example).- 3.5 mm Aux jack for additional input (for guitar, phone, etc.)- Inputs for playing from a USB drive or SD card (Haven't tried using those yet. Not yet sure if you can record performances to them.)- Can be charged and used without chords (portable, and could be used for street performances).- Has modes for Bluetooth, Line In, and FM Radio.- Has echo effect dial to add reverb/echo when singing.- With good wireless microphones, this PA really puts out good volume and good quality sound for singing. I bought these 2 Lekato UHF wireless dual channel mics, and those sounded excellent for singing, especially for the price (https://www.amazon.com/LEKATO-Wireless-Microphone-Rechargeable-Amplifier/dp/B09NVQRDPL).Cons:-Included wired microphone sucks (It has a noticeable hiss at higher volumes. Fair for speaking engagements, but not for music except for maybe karaoke with the family :-))-If you use the Mic In jack with a wireless receiver for wireless mics (UHF, etc.), you cannot Bluetooth connect to your phone simultaneously to do karaoke. So, to take input from your phone and wireless mics at the same time for karaoke performances, you have use a 3.5 mm male-to-male cable to plug your phone into the 3.5 Aux jack to input karaoke music so you can simultaneously use the wireless (UHF, etc.) microphones to sing. (But, at least, karaoke with wireless microphones be done using this approach!).

It’s a very nice speaker with Bluetooth brings its own microphone and remote. It does a great performance for the price. We used this for a small party we had and it was nice to hear music. Very easy to use and can be taken anywhere since it’s a good size. It’s a good way to entertain a crowd of people.

DO NOT BUY! I am returning this item for a SECOND time. This time for a full refund. First one paired very easily with my Bluetooth device and was very loud. I loved it. Then it got hot and would no longer keep its connection. I returned it easily and promptly received a replacement. The replacement cracked and popped as it powered up, took forever to pair to my Macbook, and had hardly any volume whatsoever. Tried multiple devices and input methods with no luck. It is being sent back. Item feels very cheap. Not what you would expect from Pyle. I believe these are some sort of knock-off.

I want to start by saying that I actually really like this speaker. It is small and very easy to transport. I use it for my cheerleading team so it is nice that it isn't huge. The sound quality it actually pretty good as well. You can hear it a good distance away. The price point is great for the speaker.My problem with this product is that the charger cord didn't work. So once the battery life ran out on the speaker I had no way to charge it. I contacted their customer service department and told them what was wrong on August 30th, 2018. They reached out to have me send a picture of the speaker I purchased and the part I needed as a PDF or jpg. I did this and they again replied with what was wrong and to send a picture. It is my fault that I took a while to send the picture a 2nd time. However, after I did this they took two weeks to respond. Then they informed me they need to check to see if they have the part in their warehouse. I never heard back from them or received the faulty power cord. When I told them I was upset with their customer service they said they needed the picture of the part again. It is now November 8th and I still don't have the part and still can't use my speaker. Sorry but how long does it take to go to the warehouse and check your inventory and ship a part? This is just showed a lack of consideration and value they have for their customers. The cheap speaker wasn't worth this hassel

I purchased this for my kids, specifically so my daughter can sing karaoke with her friends at her 4th Bday party. It is more than sufficient for that task.The PA can be used with a microphone (or any other wired input, i believe it is 1/8", bluetooth, memory card, or combination of the aforementioned. Therefore, I intend to let my kids use it, but also will use it whenever we need some additional amplification at parties or whatever. If either of my kids pick up an electric instrument, this should suffice for playing in the garage.Pros:I feel this is surprisingly loud, especially when left in the hands of a few poorly supervised kids.Separate volume control for microphone / wired and Bluetooth. This allows you to adjust your inputs so they're in perspectivesimple interface, works as describedThere is a built in echo effect, my kids love it.relatively small, about the dimensions of a piece of letter or A4 paper, 4" deepCon:As some have mentioned, the mic that came with mine was noisy. The noise was annoying and audible anytime the mic was plugged in AND turned on. If this were not the case, it would be a 5 star review.I planned ahead and bought an $8 mic on Amazon and it works perfectly. Now i have a backup (albeit noisy).As many have noted, the plug is in the front of the box, and the cord is relatively short. I believe it is 9V 1.5A, which is pretty minimal.the battery should last 1-2 hours, YMMV. I hope to open this thing up and see if i can add to the battery capacity, I'll be sure to update my review if that happens.
