Pyle Bluetooth Receiver Wall Mount - In-Wall Audio Control Receiver w/Dual USB Charging Port, 3.5mm AUX Input for Sound Systems - For Home Theater Entertainment - Includes DC Power Adaptor - PWPBT67

The controller was received as per the description. Its perfect however its not a standalone amplifier. It requires an external amplifier to power the speakers. Overall its ok.

I was never a big fan of Pyle equipment, but this receiver set does work well! This was put in with a clubhouse paging system installation where they wanted to be able to play iphone background, music for golf outings, barroom background music, and themed events. Being able to mount the remote power supply & power supply interface near the head-end equipment is a plus. Along with the fact that standard cat6 cabling can be used between the two makes this a nearly ideal set up so the Bluetooth receiver can be mounted in a standard wall plate near point of use without having to find a local source of power (receiver is powered through cat6 cable). Bluetooth links up quickly on both android and iOS systems and the audio sounds great. I was quite surprised! In the future I will be installing more of these as the price point is quite a bit better than some of the other Bluetooth receiver units on the market.

this is one great product, easy to set up, and in function. I was looking for a product to provide music through pandora from the ipad throughout the house and this product exceeded that expectation! the usb charger ports are a very nice bonus. I mounted the receiver into the kitchen island (which also gives nice access to the basement for wiring to the base station. The fact that the power is provided through the base towards the receiver is another great design decision of this product. It shuts itself off if there has been no linking for some time which I like too very much. My only "criticism" would be that the receiver is rather thick on the metal mounting plate which doesnt allow for easy snug installation with a outlet cover, nor was the mounting screw for that prepared. The other thing is the circuit board is rather larger (same width as metal penal) and the connection screws for the power/sound cable dont allow for an easy connection there, so I recommend to take for sure a plastic outlet box when mounting and a bit wider and deeper as possible for easier installation.

I have this included in my garage with the amp living in the mechanical room of the house. Pros: Bluetooth pairing works very well, volume control and skip ahead / back all work as intended. Con: Their is only one, it has an audible buzz when the device is on but no audio being sent through it. I seen other reviews referring to the buzz and I believe some solved it via grounding. I haven't gone that route yet, rather I have the power for this device and its amp on a wifi enabled socket which I shut off when not in use.

Bottom line: This in-wall unit is a fire hazard. I've had this in-wall unit installed for about 18 months (details below). This morning, I heard two loud pops coming from the room in which we put it. I saw smoke coming from behind the two-gang faceplate -- the room smelled like burning electronics -- and immediately removed the plate and the unit. I found that two of the capacitors had blown off the back, and the unit had mostly fried. No changes had been made to the system in 18 months, nor had we used it differently. It just catastrophically failed for seemingly no good reason out of nowhere. Before this issue, it operated fine. The range was somewhat limited and would sometimes buzz if we plugged something (like a phone to charge) into the USB ports. We mostly skipped using it, opting to use our Google Chromecast Audio to sync music, which we much prefer. I'll update everyone on my experience with customer service. UPDATE: Reached out to customer service by email with no response. I tried the Facebook route, which did get a response. After sending pictures and proof of purchase, we had the following interaction: CSR: "Hi, I apologize but our warranty is only good for a year. You may call our technical support for immediate assistance, you can contact us at 718-535-1800 and press 2 for technical support." Me: "So the fact that the unit exploded in the wall and created a fire hazard means nothing?" CSR: "It means that the unit has a problem, but as I mentioned we only have a 1-year warranty for all our unit. And it happened after a year correct? We can still repair the unit but you need to pay for the repair cost. You can call our number for further assistance." So, I called the number for technical support. I was the second person in the cue. It then announced that I was the next person. 16 minutes and 50 seconds later, and ten minutes longer than the estimated five minute hold time, the call cut out. I tried it again. I was caller #5, with an estimated seven-minute hold time. Then #4 with an estimated ten minute hold time. Then #2, five minutes estimated. "First in line" after 14:45 on hold. At 16:25, I was caller #2 again. First in line again at 22 minutes. After 25 minutes, I was able to get a person on the phone. I was told that the unit was out of warranty, but wanted pictures and proof of purchase. I sent both and the issue was "escalated to a manager." After a total of 36 minutes, I was told that the unit was out of warranty and no exceptions could be made. I've purchased about $500-$1000 of Pyle products for a couple of different installations. I have learned my lesson and will not make the mistake again.

This little device is a genius invention! We used Cat6 cable to connect the wall control to the audio output 50 feet away with no noticeable decrease in audio quality
