I really do like this mixer. It works for your every need. I use the 2 mic sections and its nice to have all the options on here. The remote is a nice touch and I have used the Bluetooth and it is just fine. Now if you order this and you try to use Bluetooth then just remember that there is a button you push when you want to use the Bluetooth and then to go back to listening to music through your mp3 chord, you have to push that button again….I mention this so it won’t confuse someone like I had forgot one time…I believe the button is on the music section. I had forgot one time I pushed it to listen to my phone on Bluetooth and then when I was trying to listen to my computer on it using my mp3 chord it wasn’t working and I had forgot about pushing that button again …..I hope this is helpful.

This mixer is selling at a very good price comparing to what you will get out there.
The sound is decent with all the power you will ever need for home entertainment.
You will hear everyone talking about the hissing or buzzing sounds coming out from this device.
I am facing this issue as well and have found the cause and a way to get rid of it.
You can get rid of this sound by pressing on the loop bars on the back to make sure they are tight and firm.
If you are still not satisfied, you can replace the loop bars.
It is kind of funny that a couple of cheap parts are causing the the device to look like junk to some people. I was not happy with the hissing sound as well.
I hope this tip will help everyone has a better experience. It sucks that I have to write something to address a popular issue that Pyle should have addressed.

I have had fun with this mixer. I am just getting into karaoke and wanted to do it at the Campgrounds to get my feet wet so far so good… This seems to be a good starter mixer and has plenty of adjustments to make even the worse singer sound tolerable… I am using them with a pair Rockville RSG12 12″ 3-Way 1000 Watt…..From Amazon and this set up really rocks…. After 3 weekend and playing around with it at the house the Bluetooth seems to be giving me a fit sometimes, and I got a squeal with certain adjustments I would make but I change microphone and it took that squeal out. There are only two inputs plus Bluetooth I could use more inputs, because I like playing background music while waiting on singers and I like to have the CD-G hooked up because I have old timers that bring their own music

This unit for the price a great buy. Some of the features which were not mentioned in the Owners Maual are great for protecting other devices IE speakers, and CDG players. It has an automatic volume reset and Mic reset. It also has a volume tone when the volume is to high.I would recommend this to anyone who plays CDGs.The wife uses it almost daily and she loves it , Great products.

purchased in april. bluetooth just stopped working a couple of days ago. no sound, was working great, but not now.
I contacted customer service at Pyle in Brooklyn N.Y.. even though product was under warranty. THE BUYER has to pay for shipping back to manufacture along with paying shipping back to me. About $120 will take 2-3 weeks to get back. Needless to say warranty ain’t worth Jack.
Update. Was able to get replacement. Received it today and Bluetooth did not either along with damage to front of amp. Refund from Amazon and going with another brand. Will not buy from Pyle again.

Product is easy to use, easy to set up. we use mostly for karaoke function. Everything works well, except for bluetooth connection, we were unable to find “Pyle Speaker”, no matter what device we use to connect.

We had a similar karaoke mixer from a local store. It broke after few years so I was looking for a replacement. This Pyle one look very much like our old one except: 1) it has Bluetooth, 2) it only has 1 set of speaker connection, 3) it has fewer input, 4) the output power is slightly lower. I am not 100% satisfied because some flaws but we decided to keep it. We use it mainly for karaoke purpose.
Pros:
1) Bluetooth is a convenient feature. We may not use it very often but it’s nice to have.
2) It’s much cheaper than our old one, which is over $400.
3) Our apt doesn’t need those extra power when we do karaoke. This Pyle has more power than we need.
Cons:
1) The 2 mic inputs in the back are not working! I almost returned it but we needed it right away.
2) The inputs are a bit limited. Only 1 DVD and 1VCD. Can’t really do much with this mixer. Guess that’s why it’s cheap.
3) The buzz sound, yes. Same as with our old unit, when you turn the volume up, you will hear it. My take is that this is a device for a party or DJ, not for listening to classic music. And it is cheap. So I never expect too much from it.
Overall, this unit is ok for our purpose. After spending more than $400 for our old unit that last only 3 years. This unit fits our bill.
