I'm actually interested, I was thinking of having 6 of them put into my car so that it can power each speaker individually and have the sub powered by a 7th 100 watt mono, I know it sounds expensive but considering how much a 6 channel plus 1 channel mono costs it's quite cheap. And if you are wondering "how would you set the volume?" it's simple... the head unit of course, set the amps to just below clipping and have the headunit be the volume control... you know, like normal amps are.
This is exactly what i was looking for there isn’t many video reviewing mini amps and this also helped with some of my confusion I really want to thank you
Funnily enough I bought a Nobsound NS10G a couple of days ago as my huge hifi power amp decided to stop working after a few years and just like you I was very skeptical and thought at worst I'd waste £28...how wrong was I? So impressed and doubt very much that I'll go back to my hundreds of pounds hifi amp. easy peasy to set up and the sound is phenomenal. don't know why I didn't think of doing a search BEFORE buying but at least we both know how good they are! thank you
Those NobSounds are really something special. I bought one to try out and sound output is amazing, very similar and comparable to those larger size old school pioneer/kenwood recievers
I bought the Nobsound NS-20G a few years ago when our old amp died. I bought it without a power supply as cheaper, and then used an old unused laptop power brick, if your brick is under rated it will use all it can and self limit without distortion. A more powerful brick equals more volume. It sounds great and bluetooth has good range. Very happy, highly recommended.
So far I've been using these in my house for almost a year and I have not had any issues, they sound great and they seem to perform very well. I'm glad you found one you liked and is working for you as well. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
I have used a NSG10Pro for some years now with 2 canton 100W speakers for some compact sound in a separate room. Always works and sound is really clear. Bought 2 extra that I plan to use for a digital organ. Thanks for the review.
Hey, thanks for the reviews on these. One thing that bugs me about all of them is they all lie about their power output. You don't get 200W with a 19v 3a power supply... It's mathematically impossible (19x3=57 [NS-20G]). Bigger power supply you say? Nope. I used a 24v 5a power supply hoping to get just shy of 120w with the NS-20G and it can't handle that much power. Terrible noise and distortion. Contacted company and they basically told me it can't handle more power. 3116 chip is a great chip, but only good for 100w. Some amps that claim to output more than 100w with only one TPA3116 chip? Lies. Anyway, my main point is that almost all these companies exaggerate their amp output. Research the chips they use. Multiply power supply V x A = W. Those are real numbers...the rest is all marketing fluff.
Thanks for dropping some knowledge on this video. I did not get that specific about the amps but this is good information. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Jon doe no chit bruh everyone in their common sense of knowledge of amps or nearly anything mathematical isn't going to be a true statement just like where I work I'm a merchant mariner and when we pick up a spot job our boats are rated bigger than they are but still get the job done 😂 now common sense here is called. SALES PITCH. 🤣
thats correct i i bought a Hypersound AV260 bluetooth 2.1 amp last year it says 50W + 50W but wheni had it checked the technician said its only 15W per channel…. used it for only a year then the sound went off.
"with only one TPA3116 chip? Lies" That's probably because it has two of those chips. From the official site and products specification page: ' the output power is improved to 200W (100W*2) with 2PCS TPA3116 chip.'. It's the only one of these similar amps that has it. The rest tap out at 100w or 50w.
Great video - (well structured and very clearly spoken) - this was a far better introduction to these amps, than the tree hours of reading Amazon reviews last night. Thanks :-)
I was blown away when i first heard these amps. So much clarity and bass punch after decades of listening to old school Kenwood style tower systems costing hundreds and taking up huge amount of real estate space. in my living room. That's all gone now replaced by an amp the size of a packet of cigarettes!
Got two ns-20's linked to a echo dot via a headphone splitter out of the dot, with four technics sl55 speakers and a mission sub. Sounds fantastic. Thank you for the excellent review
These mini amps are amazing. Check out my all in one speaker using a dot and a Facmogu F900 mini amp. th-cam.com/video/Llh_dnAS7d4/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the demo. I'm going to get the first one. I want it to be small and simple for a three way speaker set and it seems to be enough, because I don't need it to be extremely loud anyway. I don't need bass & treble too because I can have a super powerful app on my Linux laptop with more like a dozen of sound enhancing plugins. I'm going to put it on the back of one of the speakers and set the volume knob to an optimal level and control the volume on my PC. These mini amps are cool if you need something that won't make a mess and have a decent sound for normal listening.
That is up to you. Everyone has a different taste for sound that’s what I had to play the music and I will let the I amp speak for itself :) Thanks for watching.
I picked up the Nobsound ns01g for $39 with the power supply and I was truly shocked at how much sound and quality of sound through my Klipsch sb2 bookshelf speakers. Right now I'm using it for my desktop with a pair of Polk r 10 speakers.
That is awesome, these little mini amps are so surprising how much sound they can pump out. I'm glad the video is helpful, thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
These " digital" amp are truly a real revolution in hifi, I compared a few of them ( s.m.s.l & douk sound) to a NAD amp and found out that they sound really good, only thing with digital amp is that as soon you reach clipping point ( playing,very,very loud) the get a very ugly distortion, but that was always THE selling point of NAD with their " soft clipping" ,but for home use at normal listening levels really good
I have to agree these things are very amazing and I have had so much fun messing around with the ones that I have. I need to update this video because I think there are some new models that could be explored on my channel. Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate all your support.
I'm glad your testing all these amps in your videos, since you have so many amps maybe you could do a video series where you test these amps for BASS SHAKERS mainly for sim racing and even home cinema etc..... there isn't many good videos online about this topic. and sim racing using these small amps is a big deal so it would be cool to have someone test these with bass shakers. aka "butt kickers" preferably affordable bass shakers, like Dayton audio this would bring a new audience to your channel. anyways great video.
I have a nobsound ns10g it was 32$ with the power supply I have it driving two vintage Onkyo cabinets. 2x12" woofer 2x 5" mids. And 2x 3" silk some tweeters Its very impressive I play rain sounds to sleep at a insane level volume at 1/2 or more and it'll play 10hours non stop and be barely warm Highly recommend the ns10g for 32$ And it has like 6 modes for the sound
I have to say these things are super impressive. It sounds like you are pushing them pretty hard and they are performing well for you, this is awesome to hear. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
As a "newbie" to AUDIO stuff in general … and specifically {Passive speakers} with {mini amps with bluetooth} I found this review and bought a NOBSOUND NS-10G to use with a pair of old PYRAMID outdoor speakers I happened to have, to use on my patio. (I’m not expecting “audiophile” type quality). - “Vented Design for High Power and Low Bass - 150 Watts Power RMS/300 Watts Peak” - “Heavy Duty ABS Construction w/Rubber Edge - 4 Ohm Speaker Impedance” I couldn't get the NS-10G to work in any way reasonably, so I’m returning it today. But after looking in more detail to at least understand “Audio” basic kind of stuff a little more, I’m now looking at "upgrading" to the NS-20G model, that I believe you actually reviewed. However, in looking at AMAZON comments on it as well, there seem to be consistent comments that say it >seriously< overheats (doesn't have a large enough heat sink; gets too hot to even touch; it’s electronics won’t last, etc.) I’d appreciate any comments anyone might have about the NS-20G and it’s “issue” of overheating. (Another “newbie: question. Would replacing the power adapter that comes with the NS-20G with an adapter that can provide more “power” (? that I’ve seen references to), help with the mini amp's electronics “overheating” issue or would that help with some other speaker "audio" quality issue?) Thanks.
So far every speaker I have connected and to these amp Has worked and sounded great. It is possible that you may be got a defective amp. I would try the NS - 20G and see if it works.
@@hanzdidit Great, Hanz. Thanks, I'll order it then. The NS-10G (50 watts/channel) that I got and tried initially (trying to "cheap out") was stopping / "cutting out" for a # of seconds ... I guess to avoid overheating it's electronics. The NS-20G model has a higher overload / overheating limit (100 watts/channel) so if that might have been the problem with the -10G I had, it hopefully won't be an issue).
The Neoteck is really the same amp as the Fosi one for less money. BTW, they have fixed the spark issue, which the first Fosi one had too, and they also make a Bluetooth version too. It seems to be the same one sold under the Fosi, Nobsound, Douk, Neoteck, and Pyle brand names. I just bought the Neoteck BT one, 'cause it was the least expensive one, for $49, while the Fosi is $79, and the Nobsound/Douk is $55
From what I've learned you need to actually plug the power converter in first and then plug it into the wall a lot of people have been telling me that, thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel I hope this video was helpful.
Thanks Frank, Glad you liked the video. Greg Kinear and Gerry Sinese... a couple of hansom fellas, I will take that as a complement :). Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Thank you so much It is always so awesome to have someone take the time to just say thanks, you made my day! Thank you! I will be doing a updated video 2022 amps soon. You are the best!
Thanks for the review. Just about to buy the Nobsound NS-10G looks like a great buy to supply some old Kenwood speakers with bluetooth. You managed to compare all that were on offer from Amazon. Thanks
Glad I could shed some light on these awesome little mini amps. I was pretty blown away when I discovered them myself, I thought I should share. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
I use this type of thing for powering patio speakers. Mine is the 2.1 version and with a passive sub blowing away its incredible. Such a bargain with bluetooth too.
They are really great. I will be doing more videos on some of the new ones coming up. If you hit the bell button and subscribe you will get notifications for my next video. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
hey thank you kindly for doing this video! i am always looking for budget audio equipment and im new to the "mini amp for the house" world but i do appreciate your time and money !!!!!
I picked up a few old school speakers from the thrift store for like $10 a pair and I was always looking for some old school used 80's or 90's receiver amp, I love all the tuning features but they just look weird next to these modern tv's, speakers imo, the 80's and 90's had some wicked styles, just my preference, these little amps are legendary paired with them speakers
That is awesome, I am definitely looking for some new speakers and I will do another series of amp reviews coming up soon. These things are pretty amazing. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Dude those sparks look like M16 bullets!, for a moment I was waiting to see you fly through the room like Marty Mcfly when he plugs into Doc's monster amp in Back To The Future haha, "whoa... Rock'n roll" =)
Finally somebody that can relate to what I was going through in this video. It was really scary and I'm glad I made it through alive lol. Thanks for getting my humor and thanks for watching.
Many thanks for the review... It makes me dicide to buy a good pair of speakers and one of that amplifiers you showed... Congratulations for your excellent work...
Very interesting review. Ordered a no sound for $35 and the S800 successor to the f900 for $18. I have several old speakers not being used (Bose 301 and B&O) that should play nicely with my Bluetooth enabled phone. Thanks.
Oh and I should add that these amps are so small and powerful, because they're class D amplifiers similar to those used in car radios and compact powered studio monitors and bookshelf speakers. Also they use external power supply. I don't know if they're really 50 watts of usable power, because they can have some distortion and compression going on like half of the volume. It also depends what power supply you use. But for normal listening you need like one third of it's power.
I've had one of the little FS900 (aka Nobsound) amps for over 2 years powering some bookshelf speakers on my desk. I secured it with some double sided tape and when I want to use bluetooth from my phone I just unplug the AUX cord.
never saw these til i started looking for an amp for my outdoor speakers. Just ordered one. Was gonna look for a used home theater one or a sound bar but these look impressive. If mine works good I think I'm going to make a DIY bluetooth boombox with a rechargable power pack.
I also made one of these if you would like a little help, minus the battery pack, check out this video. th-cam.com/video/Llh_dnAS7d4/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
You will not regret getting one even if you just use it in your garage, I have them all over in my house. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel !
I really like this review as it shows the basics of how each unit works. I was looking to use one of these type amps to drive a passive subwoofer. I would love to see you do a follow up video on these same device if it were used to power a passive sub using the RCA or 3.5mm input on the device. The key things to understand is, what does it take to switch each amp to the aux input (if anything), and will it retain that setting each time the amp is turned on. Similarly, will it retain the volume setting. The amps where the on/off is part of the volume controller would not be good since no one would want to have to adjust the volume each time the amp is turned on, but if the model can be turned off/on where it retains both the volume and the aux input setting, it would be a good choice (understanding that the amps aren't mega powerful). The NS-10G seemed like it would fit the bill but I noticed that when it was turned on it defaulted to Bluetooth mode which wouldn't be good. Anyway, if you are up for doing another video to use these devices for subwoofer application, I would love to see it.
Hey Midlander I am always up for doing more videos if they are helpful. I am going to be working on a video focusing on subwoofers, but I have done two other videos with speaker builds where I am installing amps similar to what you're asking about. I use input AUX cord to plug into an Alexa Dot. I set the volume to what would be the equivalent of about eight or nine, high enough to be loud but not so high that there would be any hiss. I can control the volume asking Alexa To raise or lower the volume. Every time it turns on it will default to the AUX and the volume will always be the same as where I left it. Here are the links to the two video I have done, let me know what you think. th-cam.com/video/Llh_dnAS7d4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
OK, thanks. That showed me that the mini amp you used for that project, which looked like the F900 one, will automatically switch to the aux input. You did a good job on that project but I hate to cut into things like that. I would have opted to just use double-sided tape or something that is reversible in case I wanted to use the speaker elsewhere later, but that just me (and not knocking your project because that's the way you wanted it). Don't know if you noticed but there are little XY-AP50H or XY-AP50L kits (think the L is a little smaller) that are supposed to use the same amp chip as the mini amps you tested for
I don't remember if it's the same company but a company makes an amp that looks similar to the long, black one you tested. They include in their manual that you should connect the amp to the power cord before connecting the power adapter to an outlet. Otherwise an arc spark results.
Got it, Thanks for the tip. I did try this and you are correct, it did not spark when I plugged in the amp first then in to the wall. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
I've got the NS10G powering a pair of old Dali 8000s in my bedroom, I was blown away by the sound but I am now waiting for an NS20G now for a bit of an upgrade. I've seen as well that the NS20G can also give a line out signal which I could put into the NS10G and power a passive sub
That is absolutely an awesome amp. I just bought one of the "Nobsound HiFi TPA3116D2 2.1 Channel Digital Audio Power Amplifier Stereo Amp 2×50W+100W Subwoofer". I installed it in a set of huge speaker and it sounds amazing, it has a subwoofer output but I have not even hooked it up yet because I am able to make all of my adjustments to make the speaker sound awesome! that video is coming out Tuesday. here is the link if you want to check it out th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for watching!
Hi mate. Great review. The red Douk Nobsound has a sticker covering the facia that you said was all scratched-up. It does in fact have a really nice chrome finish mirror face that is of excellent quality and my pick of the units. Just remove the protective sticker to show off the facia. Cheers, Rod
Hey Rod, I think the one I got must've been used because it did not even have the protective sticker on the front and the metal was all scratched up. But I'm sure it was just somebody that repackaged it and sent it back and Amazon sold it to me. I really like all of the knobssound amps, I'm glad that you got one for yourself. Thank you for watching!
These mini amps may do whatever a big receiver may do, but how long will they last, and How durable are they? The thing about Chinese stuff is that, even though they create a lot of unique fascinating stuff, sometimes they don't last very long and don't have any after sale service either.
I could not agree with you more but in the defense of most of these amps I have not had one fail on me yet and it has been over a year since I have been using these almost on a daily basis. I can understand your concern but so far and these amps have been working great. Thanks for watching!
I love the Nobsound amplifier I have but I wish they'd get rid of the garish LEDs (especially on the tube amps), for devices that work so well it just looks so tacky.
I think the JBL speakers do a great job and sound amazing. The size of the speaker is the problem you can get a sound out of a larger speaker and make it sound so much better. Thank you so much for watching!
After making this video I found out if you plug the amp in first and then plug the plug-in to the outlet you don't get the spark. I was kind of just making a joke and trying to be funny about the video. Thank you so much for watching I'm so glad you like my videos. Thank you so much for watching.
@@hanzdidit ...it was very good moment to be fair.. made me laugh. I've just bought a Yamaha WXC 50 and a Nobsound N15G power amp to pair with some older Monitor Audio RX6's, it all came today so looking forward to getting it wall connected :-)
It is amazing how good they sound I have another video I did where I actually installed one in the speaker. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
@@hanzdidit I built a seat from some old towers and used the little amp. . Sooooooo cool .. check. facebook.com/100007142616682/posts/2820924624822264/?d=n
Thank you so much for watching. My goal with this video is to make it fun I'm glad somebody gets it. I hope it was helpful and thank you so much for watching my video.
great video, I don't really care about which one is the loudest. Which one in your opinion out of the knobsound amps, is the clearest and most detailed/specious, on your speakers????????
The one I use everyday is the F900. Out of the Nobsound brand I think they all sound really good. but I like the Nobsound NS-20G 200W best for its sound, function and size. This would be my recommendation but be careful... it might blow your mind LOL. Thank you for watching!
A thump through the speakers when amp is turned on is very common, and can be very annoying. In fact there are 3s delay circuit boards you can buy to try avoid it. For example, on Amazon reviews the Nobsound NS-20G has reported to have a thump at least by one reviewer. It's not always clear if you've powered them up in all cases on camera. It's a nice thing to know. Though the USB mode voice on power up can be nice, it can also be nice not to have it. I use one in my bathroom that gets turned on with the light switch, and I don't want to hear this (or a thump) every time since I don't use audio every time I enter the bathroom. I hope someday we'll see options to turn it on or off on amps.
I got that subwoofer hooked up to make sure it was going to work and it sounded pretty good. I will make a video on that coming up here soon. Thanks for watching.
Always plug the amp to the wall last...btw the wattage shown is all in 4ohms not 8 so unless your running 4ohm speakers your not getting whats on the box. Its all in the specs
class D amps can be really small it's not like class A/B if your going to review these things you should learn about the tech in them. the DAC inside them are important to.
A few years ago I bought the last of the tested amps. Or at least with the same high-quality aluminium case. But as you say, the sound is lacking. Not bad or with distortion, just very dull.
They are getting better but still that are just good, not great. They are great for outdoor system and shop speakers. Thank you so much fro watching and supporting my channel.
Nice review by ya hanz..im getting the neoteck 5.0 bt amp on tuesday..just got into the tws/ iem/ bt speakers..ive always had top audio, but i never went for more xpenzive is more better..just bought the whizzer bs1 openback iems, faaeal, snow lotus .my phone izza lg..ofc it hazza 3.5 audio jack..neoteck is only 43 dollars..ill give it a try...as far as speakers..have 2 bt speakers..jbl clip 2, ue wonderboom.2..luv bt...nice review by ya, do urself a favor..i tell.people this all the time..to avoid that schok thing ya had goin..ya never plug into the wall first, then device..thatz backwards, and it leads to what happened with the neoteck amp...device port, ur wall.jack is the last plug to insert..nice review..
Thank you so much for your feedback and I really appreciate your input. I have a bunch of these amps now after doing all of these reviews and I am thoroughly impressed with a lot of them. Actually I am thoroughly impressed with most of them. They out performed my expectations in every manor. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
These mini amps are great and can be used with any speaker. You want to be careful not to turn them up too loud and blow out the speaker so start low and work your way up. As long as you have the positive and negative wire it will work with any speaker. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
This is the one I am using currently and the one that I like the best. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Great vid Mr Hanz! Im trying to get something set up for my backyard would you recommend them for outdoor use? And how did you get all 4 speaker hooked and not just 2, idk what I'm doing just trying to learn. Thanks man 👍
I was working on something for my back deck as well, I'll include two links to two other videos I did that I think would work for you. Thank you so much for watching! th-cam.com/video/Llh_dnAS7d4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html
The only one I could recommend is the "LEDMO 12V 5A 60W AC to DC Power Supply" If you search this on amazon. I hope this works for you. Thanks for watching!
Ok. You tell something wrong there For the nobsound tone. The front pannel is not a fake stainless-steel. Its a mirror and its not starched up. Its just a protective film.
Great video! I can tell how much you enjoy your music. I have a boat and it's time to change out the stereo system. All I want really is a Bluetooth amp like the one you reviewed here. I can use the current wiring from the 12 V battery and the speaker wires for the four speakers. The boat's in winter storage so I can't see right now exactly the size/OHMs/Impedance of the speakers but they're not huge. they are just standard. The current amp that's driving the system is a "Seaworthy" blackbox. I want to bypass that entirely. The specs on the seaworthy amp say 4×40 W and I'm not really sure if one of the Bluetooth amps that you're reviewing will push enough power to those speakers. although I think if they're powering your beast-like speakers they will definitely power the four I have in the boat. Do you have any ideas about what I might do for this kind of application?
I am not sure about the marine applications with these mini amps, I have not seen any that are waterproof so far. Then again I guess most car stereos aren’t waterproof, LOL. I think that these amps would be perfect for your application I tried putting one in my van and it worked great. All the wires should just hook up straight out of your car stereo just hook up your left and right speakers and you need power and that’s it. Good luck with your project let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.
Nice reviews you didn't say if you had a darling of the lot. I think I want one for my outdoor polk speakers. QUESTION 1) Is there a digital to analog converter to play music from a Flash drive or take it VIA bluetooth from a smartphone to play on a conventional stereo (Yamaha A-500) and 2) is there such a thing that I can plug into the back of my Yamaha RX-V1065 Reciever for my home theater that will do same as above ? What would I call them if I were searching for 'em? thx
A lot of the mini amps show in this video have Bluetooth. I think everyone of them I have tested had RCA as well. Between the headphone jack, RCA and Bluetooth there are a lot of options for connecting these amps to almost any size speaker. Let me know if you have anymore questions and thank you so much for watching.
@@richardk9416 word, it sounded like he was generally impressed by all of them. If it helps you, I went with a Loxjie A10. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but I figured quality over quantity. Later on I will move up to their A30. It cost more, but comes highly recommended by Amir on Audio Science Review.
Hey I'm really sorry I did not get right back to you after eight months I have to tell you that I found a couple more that I like better than any of the ones I did a review on. This one you can actually hook up a subwoofer to if you choose to and it is my new favorite one. amzn.to/34momfB I did a video showing the install into a large speaker if you are interested in looking at that one. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html. It is a little bit more expensive than any of the other ones but I think it sounds better and it is plenty loud. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel.
I'm looking for a small amplifier, that will except RCA from my TV out then Hook to Speaker wires that I have ran to my ceiling in each bedroom. With a Remote would be a bonus. Know anything?
I see that there are a few of these on Amazon that would work for you, if you are on a budget this one might be the one www.amazon.com/Moukey-Bluetooth-Stereo-Amplifier-Receiver/dp/B09136681Q/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=mini+amp+with+remote&qid=1631346450&sr=8-4 I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching my video.
What power supply did you use? Planning to put this in my jeep that has no stereo. Though I have an extra 6x9 car speakers which is mounted on a speaker box. If I use this nob amp and connect my speakers, how do i give it power? Do i need a certain adapter for the car lighter to give it power?
Most of these aunts car for a 12 to 24 V input. If the amp that you buy is a 12 V input you can just plug that into your cigarette lighter or hardwire it to your fuse box. It should say in the specs on any of these that you see on Amazon what their input voltage should be. I hope this helps thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
The NS 10G looks like the one I would want. I wonder how it would power and play with my Focal 2 ohm speakers. They do have a high sensitivity speaker rating.
It should power the speakers just fine make sure that you just start out at a low volume so you don't accidentally blow out your speakers. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
I am not sure if I got one that was used and returned, or if it was actually scratched. I did not keep it very long I just wanted to buy it for testing and then I give it to a friend. I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad to hear that most of these will not be scratched like I was showing. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
My 2yo Nobsound NS jack input connection just stopped working, not a very durable device. For the price, it’s ok, but not good enough. Not recommended. I’m currently looking for a better unit for my desktop setup. Any recommendations?
If you were looking for something very small that works great, I think this is a good option. amzn.to/3mI6iU9 I have been running these in speakers 24 seven and it has been working great and I have not had any problems. Here is a video that I did with the install on the speakers in this amp. th-cam.com/video/Llh_dnAS7d4/w-d-xo.html thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Hi hanz, Hey can you show how did you connect the 4 speakers you said you connect with this mini amps. My question is because I want to install a mini amp to play 4 speaker in my patio and I only see that this amps only have 2 channels for only 2 speakers. Thank you for any information.
The simple answer is you have a + and a - and L and R speakers to hook up on your amplifier. You can connect as many speakers as long as the plus and minus are connected correctly to the speaker and It is best to have equal amounts of speakers on the L and the R. The way I did it was I hooked a wire up to the amp that went to the speaker and I daisychained that wire to another speaker, I did that on both the L and R sides. Depending on how many amps your speakers draw, the only downside would be that you could lose a bit of volume out of one or both speakers. I have to say my set up was plenty loud. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
I am just publishing a few videos on some of the new many amps out there that will drive a subwoofer, over the next two weeks you should say five or six videos come up on my channel, if you have not subscribed to my channel yeah you should hit the dial button and you should get notifications as a new videos are coming up. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank God finally something small 😲 I'm tired of this big amps for my crib🔥👍🏽can someone plis tell me which one is the best. I'm getting 1 and selling this big thing😪
Was ready to order the next to last 1 but with no power supply? No thanks. About like buying a car with no engine. Otherwise great reviews. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree, I am actually installing one of these in my sprinter van, I think it's going to sound great. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Thanks for creating this video. I read that some amps can damage the speakers If Its too powerful? Which Bluetooth ones would you recommend to pair with these bookshelf speakers? 1.Sony SS－J75 8 ohm 75W x 2 2.Q Acoustics 2020i 6 ohm 75W x 2
For Bluetooth of 3.5 connection I really like the: amzn.to/37YPCzT Simple and work great. The way that you are going to ruin your speakers is by turning this up too loud. If You are using an amp that is 100 W per channel it will exceed your 75 W Delivering too much wattage to your speaker intern blowing them out. I believe this one is 100 total so 50 x 50, you should not have a problem. Thanks for watching!
Better read the manual: Please connect power supply with the device firstly and then plug it into socket. Otherwise there may be electric spark. (All class D amplifiers are similar. This is very normal.) This was from the Nobsound Manual.
Dude ! Never plugin in a powered adapter !!! That is a basic electrotechnical rule ! First plugin the amp end & then to the power outlet, not other way around...
I know... I was trying to be funny but apparently it did not come across that way. Thanks you for the info, it is god for people to know this. Thanks for watching.
@@hanzdidit lol you didn't know come on man, admit it. it was painfully obvious you didn't know and you were NOT trying to be funny. Good video other than that.
does anyone else's nobsound mini amps click when connected with Bluetooth and a track starts but if you pause it or there's a gap in the music of 3 seconds of no sound it clicks as if it is clicking on and off standby, only got the amp a few days ago and the clicking is already putting me off it
I have not had any problems yet. I have 3 on all day everyday and have had no problems yet... Thanks for watching I'm sorry you're having trouble with yours.
Someone please help me understand why these (some) speakers don't have tone control. The bass over powers the speakers I have. I need to back it off. But can't. It's just fixed equalization. It doesn't make sense
Everyone of these answered I tried has a base in trouble adjustment, I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about can you elaborate a little more so I can try to help? Thanks so much for watching.
Can someone help me out. I'm a rookie at all this.. He mentioned it's a 2 channel mini amo but has 4 speakers. Is he just bringing from one speaker to another? Thanks!
Glad to help. As far as speakers go I would try to find some decent ones from Goodwill, I got this set from a friend for $100. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html you can see I am trying a new amp amzn.to/3l4dmZD This is my new favorite amp for the sound, adjustability and you can add a sub. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
@@hanzdidit yeah I just asked a friend he said he may have some bose speakers he's not using. Hopefully the ohms aren't high. Im looking to make a portable boom box and build a battery pack for it as well. I've found a new amplifier zk-1002l. It claims 100watts x 2 if you use 24v power supply. www.amazon.com/dp/B087FG37Z7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_VgwVFbA5053CZ
This vid deserves more views. I guess nobody's looking for compact amps??
Thanks man. This is a new channel hope to get more views and subscribers. Thanks for watching!
I'm actually interested, I was thinking of having 6 of them put into my car so that it can power each speaker individually and have the sub powered by a 7th 100 watt mono, I know it sounds expensive but considering how much a 6 channel plus 1 channel mono costs it's quite cheap.
And if you are wondering "how would you set the volume?" it's simple... the head unit of course, set the amps to just below clipping and have the headunit be the volume control... you know, like normal amps are.
@@HappyfoxBiz I would be worried about everything syncing up. Otherwise, good idea. I bought the Douk Audio Q100 and so far, so good.
@@HappyfoxBiz Why not just get a couple SoundStream old school 4 or 5 channel amps and get real power & SQ?
This is exactly what i was looking for there isn’t many video reviewing mini amps and this also helped with some of my confusion I really want to thank you
Thank you, I am glad my video helped. It was fun to make. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Funnily enough I bought a Nobsound NS10G a couple of days ago as my huge hifi power amp decided to stop working after a few years and just like you I was very skeptical and thought at worst I'd waste £28...how wrong was I? So impressed and doubt very much that I'll go back to my hundreds of pounds hifi amp. easy peasy to set up and the sound is phenomenal. don't know why I didn't think of doing a search BEFORE buying but at least we both know how good they are! thank you
I know, right. I am thinking of installing one in my old Porsche because they sound so good. Thanks for watching!
I've had the douk audio tone for about two years. Amazing little amp with lots of features!
That is awesome. i did not even know about these till I made this video, they are amazing. Thanks for watching!
Those NobSounds are really something special. I bought one to try out and sound output is amazing, very similar and comparable to those larger size old school pioneer/kenwood recievers
I completely agree they really do sound amazing for a small as they are. Thank you so much for watching!
I bought the Nobsound NS-20G a few years ago when our old amp died. I bought it without a power supply as cheaper, and then used an old unused laptop power brick, if your brick is under rated it will use all it can and self limit without distortion. A more powerful brick equals more volume. It sounds great and bluetooth has good range. Very happy, highly recommended.
So far I've been using these in my house for almost a year and I have not had any issues, they sound great and they seem to perform very well. I'm glad you found one you liked and is working for you as well. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
I have used a NSG10Pro for some years now with 2 canton 100W speakers for some compact sound in a separate room. Always works and sound is really clear. Bought 2 extra that I plan to use for a digital organ. Thanks for the review.
These things are awesome! I'm glad that you liked the video hopefully it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Hey, thanks for the reviews on these. One thing that bugs me about all of them is they all lie about their power output. You don't get 200W with a 19v 3a power supply... It's mathematically impossible (19x3=57 [NS-20G]).
Bigger power supply you say? Nope. I used a 24v 5a power supply hoping to get just shy of 120w with the NS-20G and it can't handle that much power. Terrible noise and distortion. Contacted company and they basically told me it can't handle more power.
3116 chip is a great chip, but only good for 100w. Some amps that claim to output more than 100w with only one TPA3116 chip? Lies.
Anyway, my main point is that almost all these companies exaggerate their amp output. Research the chips they use. Multiply power supply V x A = W. Those are real numbers...the rest is all marketing fluff.
Thanks for dropping some knowledge on this video. I did not get that specific about the amps but this is good information. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Some of this amps works with 28v, and all suport 25v 10A (this is correct powersource), but some models blow the capacitors
Jon doe no chit bruh everyone in their common sense of knowledge of amps or nearly anything mathematical isn't going to be a true statement just like where I work I'm a merchant mariner and when we pick up a spot job our boats are rated bigger than they are but still get the job done 😂 now common sense here is called. SALES PITCH. 🤣
thats correct i
i bought a Hypersound AV260 bluetooth 2.1 amp last year it says 50W + 50W but wheni had it checked the technician said its only 15W per channel…. used it for only a year then the sound went off.
"with only one TPA3116 chip? Lies" That's probably because it has two of those chips. From the official site and products specification page: ' the output power is improved to 200W (100W*2) with 2PCS TPA3116 chip.'. It's the only one of these similar amps that has it. The rest tap out at 100w or 50w.
Great video - (well structured and very clearly spoken) - this was a far better introduction to these amps, than the tree hours of reading Amazon reviews last night. Thanks :-)
That is awesome, I'm glad my video was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
I was blown away when i first heard these amps. So much clarity and bass punch after decades of listening to old school Kenwood style tower systems costing hundreds and taking up huge amount of real estate space. in my living room. That's all gone now replaced by an amp the size of a packet of cigarettes!
They are amazing! Thanks for watching!
Yes. They definitely sound really good with some 4 ohms car speaker 👍
Amazing review and I like your enthousiasm!!
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Got two ns-20's linked to a echo dot via a headphone splitter out of the dot, with four technics sl55 speakers and a mission sub. Sounds fantastic. Thank you for the excellent review

Thanks DJ Bobby K I appreciate your positive feedback. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Thanks for the demo. I'm going to get the first one. I want it to be small and simple for a three way speaker set and it seems to be enough, because I don't need it to be extremely loud anyway. I don't need bass & treble too because I can have a super powerful app on my Linux laptop with more like a dozen of sound enhancing plugins. I'm going to put it on the back of one of the speakers and set the volume knob to an optimal level and control the volume on my PC. These mini amps are cool if you need something that won't make a mess and have a decent sound for normal listening.
I hope you are impressed. I was.
you have to connect the power supply in the amp before in the wall to avoid sparks
Thank you for the tip, I tried it and no spark. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching!
'you have to connect the power supply in the amp before in the wall to avoid sparks' ... Bullshit, that thing is a fire hazard waiting to happen.
I wish you have graded all of them Hanz based on sound quality, volume, etc.
That is up to you. Everyone has a different taste for sound that’s what I had to play the music and I will let the I amp speak for itself :) Thanks for watching.
@@hanzdidit but we can't really tell from a TH-cam video so we need you that had them there to tell us
I picked up the Nobsound ns01g for $39 with the power supply and I was truly shocked at how much sound and quality of sound through my Klipsch sb2 bookshelf speakers. Right now I'm using it for my desktop with a pair of Polk r 10 speakers.
That is awesome, these little mini amps are so surprising how much sound they can pump out. I'm glad the video is helpful, thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
One of the most fun and informative videos I’ve seen. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Comments like yours are the reason I Keep making videos, you made my day. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!
These " digital" amp are truly a real revolution in hifi, I compared a few of them ( s.m.s.l & douk sound) to a NAD amp and found out that they sound really good, only thing with digital amp is that as soon you reach clipping point ( playing,very,very loud) the get a very ugly distortion, but that was always THE selling point of NAD with their " soft clipping" ,but for home use at normal listening levels really good
I have to agree these things are very amazing and I have had so much fun messing around with the ones that I have. I need to update this video because I think there are some new models that could be explored on my channel. Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate all your support.
I'm glad your testing all these amps in your videos, since you have so many amps maybe you could do a video series where you test these amps for BASS SHAKERS mainly for sim racing and even home cinema etc..... there isn't many good videos online about this topic. and sim racing using these small amps is a big deal so it would be cool to have someone test these with bass shakers. aka "butt kickers" preferably affordable bass shakers, like Dayton audio this would bring a new audience to your channel. anyways great video.
I definitely do not claim to be any kind of expert, I am just testing these out based on how I think they sound.
Thanks for the enjoyable Vid Hans...It is suggested to plug the AC in last after it is plugged into the device on most anything AC/DC...
Thank you for the tip I appreciate your feedback and thank you for watching. Glad you like the video.
I have a nobsound ns10g it was 32$ with the power supply
I have it driving two vintage Onkyo cabinets. 2x12" woofer 2x 5" mids. And 2x 3" silk some tweeters
Its very impressive
I play rain sounds to sleep at a insane level volume at 1/2 or more and it'll play 10hours non stop and be barely warm
Highly recommend the ns10g for 32$
And it has like 6 modes for the sound

Hey Luis, It is so great to see that people are watching and liking my videos, I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching!
As a "newbie" to AUDIO stuff in general … and specifically {Passive speakers} with {mini amps with bluetooth} I found this review and bought a NOBSOUND NS-10G to use with a pair of old PYRAMID outdoor speakers I happened to have, to use on my patio. (I’m not expecting “audiophile” type quality).
- “Vented Design for High Power and Low Bass - 150 Watts Power RMS/300 Watts Peak”
- “Heavy Duty ABS Construction w/Rubber Edge - 4 Ohm Speaker Impedance”
I couldn't get the NS-10G to work in any way reasonably, so I’m returning it today. But after looking in more detail to at least understand “Audio” basic kind of stuff a little more, I’m now looking at "upgrading" to the NS-20G model, that I believe you actually reviewed. However, in looking at AMAZON comments on it as well, there seem to be consistent comments that say it >seriously< overheats (doesn't have a large enough heat sink; gets too hot to even touch; it’s electronics won’t last, etc.)
I’d appreciate any comments anyone might have about the NS-20G and it’s “issue” of overheating.
(Another “newbie: question. Would replacing the power adapter that comes with the NS-20G with an adapter that can provide more “power” (? that I’ve seen references to), help with the mini amp's electronics “overheating” issue or would that help with some other speaker "audio" quality issue?)
Thanks.
So far every speaker I have connected and to these amp Has worked and sounded great. It is possible that you may be got a defective amp. I would try the NS - 20G and see if it works.
@@hanzdidit Great, Hanz. Thanks, I'll order it then. The NS-10G (50 watts/channel) that I got and tried initially (trying to "cheap out") was stopping / "cutting out" for a # of seconds ... I guess to avoid overheating it's electronics. The NS-20G model has a higher overload / overheating limit (100 watts/channel) so if that might have been the problem with the -10G I had, it hopefully won't be an issue).
The Neoteck is really the same amp as the Fosi one for less money. BTW, they have fixed the spark issue, which the first Fosi one had too, and they also make a Bluetooth version too. It seems to be the same one sold under the Fosi, Nobsound, Douk, Neoteck, and Pyle brand names. I just bought the Neoteck BT one, 'cause it was the least expensive one, for $49, while the Fosi is $79, and the Nobsound/Douk is $55
From what I've learned you need to actually plug the power converter in first and then plug it into the wall a lot of people have been telling me that, thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel I hope this video was helpful.

I picked up a few old school speakers from the thrift store for like $10 a pair and I was always looking for some old school used 80's or 90's receiver amp, I love all the tuning features but they just look weird next to these modern tv's, speakers imo, the 80's and 90's had some wicked styles, just my preference, these little amps are legendary paired with them speakers

@Mohammad
L🤫L Z Reviews covered some of these approximately 5yrs ago! 🤯
@@WiiNV only if you can stand Z review
Oh and I should add that these amps are so small and powerful, because they're class D amplifiers similar to those used in car radios and compact powered studio monitors and bookshelf speakers. Also they use external power supply. I don't know if they're really 50 watts of usable power, because they can have some distortion and compression going on like half of the volume. It also depends what power supply you use. But for normal listening you need like one third of it's power.
Yes i installed one in my boat and it was a fraction of the cost of a car stereo and sounds way better.
Thanks for the very unique information. God bless you sir🙏
I hope you liked the video and it was helpful, I was trying to keep it fun and light. Thanks so much for watching.
I've had one of the little FS900 (aka Nobsound) amps for over 2 years powering some bookshelf speakers on my desk. I secured it with some double sided tape and when I want to use bluetooth from my phone I just unplug the AUX cord.
Yes if you unplug your AUX it will definitely default to your Bluetooth if it has Bluetooth capabilities. Thanks for watching!
never saw these til i started looking for an amp for my outdoor speakers. Just ordered one. Was gonna look for a used home theater one or a sound bar but these look impressive. If mine works good I think I'm going to make a DIY bluetooth boombox with a rechargable power pack.
I also made one of these if you would like a little help, minus the battery pack, check out this video.

You should always plug the power to the amplifier first then into the wall outlet.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
I really like this review as it shows the basics of how each unit works. I was looking to use one of these type amps to drive a passive subwoofer. I would love to see you do a follow up video on these same device if it were used to power a passive sub using the RCA or 3.5mm input on the device. The key things to understand is, what does it take to switch each amp to the aux input (if anything), and will it retain that setting each time the amp is turned on. Similarly, will it retain the volume setting. The amps where the on/off is part of the volume controller would not be good since no one would want to have to adjust the volume each time the amp is turned on, but if the model can be turned off/on where it retains both the volume and the aux input setting, it would be a good choice (understanding that the amps aren't mega powerful). The NS-10G seemed like it would fit the bill but I noticed that when it was turned on it defaulted to Bluetooth mode which wouldn't be good. Anyway, if you are up for doing another video to use these devices for subwoofer application, I would love to see it.
Hey Midlander
I am always up for doing more videos if they are helpful. I am going to be working on a video focusing on subwoofers, but I have done two other videos with speaker builds where I am installing amps similar to what you're asking about. I use input AUX cord to plug into an Alexa Dot. I set the volume to what would be the equivalent of about eight or nine, high enough to be loud but not so high that there would be any hiss. I can control the volume asking Alexa To raise or lower the volume. Every time it turns on it will default to the AUX and the volume will always be the same as where I left it. Here are the links to the two video I have done, let me know what you think.

Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
OK, thanks. That showed me that the mini amp you used for that project, which looked like the F900 one, will automatically switch to the aux input. You did a good job on that project but I hate to cut into things like that. I would have opted to just use double-sided tape or something that is reversible in case I wanted to use the speaker elsewhere later, but that just me (and not knocking your project because that's the way you wanted it). Don't know if you noticed but there are little XY-AP50H or XY-AP50L kits (think the L is a little smaller) that are supposed to use the same amp chip as the mini amps you tested for
I don't remember if it's the same company but a company makes an amp that looks similar to the long, black one you tested. They include in their manual that you should connect the amp to the power cord before connecting the power adapter to an outlet. Otherwise an arc spark results.
Got it, Thanks for the tip. I did try this and you are correct, it did not spark when I plugged in the amp first then in to the wall. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
I've got the NS10G powering a pair of old Dali 8000s in my bedroom, I was blown away by the sound but I am now waiting for an NS20G now for a bit of an upgrade. I've seen as well that the NS20G can also give a line out signal which I could put into the NS10G and power a passive sub
That is absolutely an awesome amp. I just bought one of the "Nobsound HiFi TPA3116D2 2.1 Channel Digital Audio Power Amplifier Stereo Amp 2×50W+100W Subwoofer". I installed it in a set of huge speaker and it sounds amazing, it has a subwoofer output but I have not even hooked it up yet because I am able to make all of my adjustments to make the speaker sound awesome! that video is coming out Tuesday. here is the link if you want to check it out th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html

Whoa this is amazing I’ve never heard of such thing
I agree for such a small size you get such a powerful punch. I am a huge fan of these amps. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Hi mate. Great review. The red Douk Nobsound has a sticker covering the facia that you said was all scratched-up. It does in fact have a really nice chrome finish mirror face that is of excellent quality and my pick of the units. Just remove the protective sticker to show off the facia. Cheers, Rod
Hey Rod, I think the one I got must've been used because it did not even have the protective sticker on the front and the metal was all scratched up. But I'm sure it was just somebody that repackaged it and sent it back and Amazon sold it to me. I really like all of the knobssound amps, I'm glad that you got one for yourself. Thank you for watching!
These mini amps may do whatever a big receiver may do, but how long will they last, and How durable are they? The thing about Chinese stuff is that, even though they create a lot of unique fascinating stuff, sometimes they don't last very long and don't have any after sale service either.
I could not agree with you more but in the defense of most of these amps I have not had one fail on me yet and it has been over a year since I have been using these almost on a daily basis. I can understand your concern but so far and these amps have been working great. Thanks for watching!
I have one bought in 2017. It still works fine.
I love the Nobsound amplifier I have but I wish they'd get rid of the garish LEDs (especially on the tube amps), for devices that work so well it just looks so tacky.
I am with you on this one, they could use some style pointers. Thanks for watching!
And JBLS like power, that's bumpin!
I think the JBL speakers do a great job and sound amazing. The size of the speaker is the problem you can get a sound out of a larger speaker and make it sound so much better. Thank you so much for watching!
Those sparks!!! haha jeez, not for me hey, wowzers.. really great review thanks!
After making this video I found out if you plug the amp in first and then plug the plug-in to the outlet you don't get the spark. I was kind of just making a joke and trying to be funny about the video. Thank you so much for watching I'm so glad you like my videos. Thank you so much for watching.
@@hanzdidit ...it was very good moment to be fair.. made me laugh. I've just bought a Yamaha WXC 50 and a Nobsound N15G power amp to pair with some older Monitor Audio RX6's, it all came today so looking forward to getting it wall connected :-)

The one I use everyday is the F900. Out of the Nobsound brand I think they all sound really good. but I like the Nobsound NS-20G 200W best for its sound, function and size. This would be my recommendation but be careful... it might blow your mind LOL. Thank you for watching!

A thump through the speakers when amp is turned on is very common, and can be very annoying. In fact there are 3s delay circuit boards you can buy to try avoid it. For example, on Amazon reviews the Nobsound NS-20G has reported to have a thump at least by one reviewer. It's not always clear if you've powered them up in all cases on camera. It's a nice thing to know. Though the USB mode voice on power up can be nice, it can also be nice not to have it. I use one in my bathroom that gets turned on with the light switch, and I don't want to hear this (or a thump) every time since I don't use audio every time I enter the bathroom. I hope someday we'll see options to turn it on or off on amps.
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Thanks for your reply 👍 great video
I got that subwoofer hooked up to make sure it was going to work and it sounded pretty good. I will make a video on that coming up here soon. Thanks for watching.
Might have been better if you put the light on! Brilliant review though!
Thank you for the feedback I will definitely try to do better in my next video, thanks so much for watching. Hope you like the video.
Always plug the amp to the wall last...btw the wattage shown is all in 4ohms not 8 so unless your running 4ohm speakers your not getting whats on the box. Its all in the specs
Thanks, you are super smart.
I use the SMSL AS300 for my patio set up it also has a sub output. many of the ones you have are from the same companies just rebrands of each other.
class D amps can be really small it's not like class A/B if your going to review these things you should learn about the tech in them. the DAC inside them are important to.
A few years ago I bought the last of the tested amps. Or at least with the same high-quality aluminium case. But as you say, the sound is lacking. Not bad or with distortion, just very dull.
They are getting better but still that are just good, not great. They are great for outdoor system and shop speakers. Thank you so much fro watching and supporting my channel.
Nice review by ya hanz..im getting the neoteck 5.0 bt amp on tuesday..just got into the tws/ iem/ bt speakers..ive always had top audio, but i never went for more xpenzive is more better..just bought the whizzer bs1 openback iems, faaeal, snow lotus

Thank you so much for your feedback and I really appreciate your input. I have a bunch of these amps now after doing all of these reviews and I am thoroughly impressed with a lot of them. Actually I am thoroughly impressed with most of them. They out performed my expectations in every manor. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Hello from Jamaica. Which can be used with ceiling speakers? Great video.
These mini amps are great and can be used with any speaker. You want to be careful not to turn them up too loud and blow out the speaker so start low and work your way up. As long as you have the positive and negative wire it will work with any speaker. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
I want 1 to be loud 🔊 with good sounds. Thank you👍🏽
This is the one I am using currently and the one that I like the best. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Great vid Mr Hanz! Im trying to get something set up for my backyard would you recommend them for outdoor use? And how did you get all 4 speaker hooked and not just 2, idk what I'm doing just trying to learn. Thanks man 👍
I was working on something for my back deck as well, I'll include two links to two other videos I did that I think would work for you. Thank you so much for watching!

awesome video, entertaining and educating
would you happen to have a good recommendation of good 12v 5a power supplies? (or maybe higher voltage?)
The only one I could recommend is the "LEDMO 12V 5A 60W AC to DC Power Supply" If you search this on amazon. I hope this works for you. Thanks for watching!
I really need one of these for my outdoor bose...but i need a 4 channel with bluetooth
Sorry for the late reply, this would be the one for you.

Thanks for watching
Ok. You tell something wrong there For the nobsound tone. The front pannel is not a fake stainless-steel. Its a mirror and its not starched up. Its just a protective film.
Thanks Asriel, you sound super smart. thanks for the information.
Great video! I can tell how much you enjoy your music. I have a boat and it's time to change out the stereo system. All I want really is a Bluetooth amp like the one you reviewed here. I can use the current wiring from the 12 V battery and the speaker wires for the four speakers. The boat's in winter storage so I can't see right now exactly the size/OHMs/Impedance of the speakers but they're not huge. they are just standard. The current amp that's driving the system is a "Seaworthy" blackbox. I want to bypass that entirely. The specs on the seaworthy amp say 4×40 W and I'm not really sure if one of the Bluetooth amps that you're reviewing will push enough power to those speakers. although I think if they're powering your beast-like speakers they will definitely power the four I have in the boat. Do you have any ideas about what I might do for this kind of application?
I am not sure about the marine applications with these mini amps, I have not seen any that are waterproof so far. Then again I guess most car stereos aren’t waterproof, LOL. I think that these amps would be perfect for your application I tried putting one in my van and it worked great. All the wires should just hook up straight out of your car stereo just hook up your left and right speakers and you need power and that’s it. Good luck with your project let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.
Nice reviews you didn't say if you had a darling of the lot. I think I want one for my outdoor polk speakers.
QUESTION
1) Is there a digital to analog converter to play music from a Flash drive or take it VIA bluetooth from a smartphone to play on a conventional stereo (Yamaha A-500)
and
2) is there such a thing that I can plug into the back of my Yamaha RX-V1065 Reciever for my home theater that will do same as above ?
What would I call them if I were searching for 'em?
thx
A lot of the mini amps show in this video have Bluetooth. I think everyone of them I have tested had RCA as well. Between the headphone jack, RCA and Bluetooth there are a lot of options for connecting these amps to almost any size speaker. Let me know if you have anymore questions and thank you so much for watching.
Mind blowing, no way!... I'll take one
Let me know which one you like best. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your reviews and comments. What is the music you are using,please?
It is a song I found years ago and I can not find it any more. Thanks for watching!
Buddy, 8 months later, which would you say is the best one? Looking to buy one for my Jamo C 91s
Yea unless I missed it completely, he didn’t really rank them.
@@richardk9416 word, it sounded like he was generally impressed by all of them. If it helps you, I went with a Loxjie A10. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but I figured quality over quantity. Later on I will move up to their A30. It cost more, but comes highly recommended by Amir on Audio Science Review.
Hey I'm really sorry I did not get right back to you after eight months I have to tell you that I found a couple more that I like better than any of the ones I did a review on. This one you can actually hook up a subwoofer to if you choose to and it is my new favorite one. amzn.to/34momfB I did a video showing the install into a large speaker if you are interested in looking at that one. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html. It is a little bit more expensive than any of the other ones but I think it sounds better and it is plenty loud. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel.
also lepai lp1601s is amazing
i will check that one out, thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
I'm looking for a small amplifier, that will except RCA from my TV out then Hook to Speaker wires that I have ran to my ceiling in each bedroom. With a Remote would be a bonus.
Know anything?
I see that there are a few of these on Amazon that would work for you, if you are on a budget this one might be the one
www.amazon.com/Moukey-Bluetooth-Stereo-Amplifier-Receiver/dp/B09136681Q/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=mini+amp+with+remote&qid=1631346450&sr=8-4
I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching my video.
Thanks for sharing this video great job 👍.
Thanks Man, I hope it helped, thank you for watching!
Excellent information thank you.
No problem hope it helps. Thanks for watching!
What power supply did you use? Planning to put this in my jeep that has no stereo. Though I have an extra 6x9 car speakers which is mounted on a speaker box. If I use this nob amp and connect my speakers, how do i give it power? Do i need a certain adapter for the car lighter to give it power?
Most of these aunts car for a 12 to 24 V input. If the amp that you buy is a 12 V input you can just plug that into your cigarette lighter or hardwire it to your fuse box. It should say in the specs on any of these that you see on Amazon what their input voltage should be. I hope this helps thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
The NS 10G looks like the one I would want.
I wonder how it would power and play with my Focal 2 ohm speakers. They do have a high sensitivity speaker rating.
It should power the speakers just fine make sure that you just start out at a low volume so you don't accidentally blow out your speakers. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
12:14 the screen is not scratched, there is a protection on it, u can peel it off, like all china glossy stuff ;)
I am not sure if I got one that was used and returned, or if it was actually scratched. I did not keep it very long I just wanted to buy it for testing and then I give it to a friend. I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad to hear that most of these will not be scratched like I was showing. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
@@hanzdidit no problem, thank you, this video helped me to chose the best one 👍
My 2yo Nobsound NS jack input connection just stopped working, not a very durable device.
For the price, it’s ok, but not good enough. Not recommended.
I’m currently looking for a better unit for my desktop setup. Any recommendations?
If you were looking for something very small that works great, I think this is a good option. amzn.to/3mI6iU9 I have been running these in speakers 24 seven and it has been working great and I have not had any problems. Here is a video that I did with the install on the speakers in this amp. th-cam.com/video/Llh_dnAS7d4/w-d-xo.html thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Hi hanz,
Hey can you show how did you connect the 4 speakers you said you connect with this mini amps.
My question is because I want to install a mini amp to play 4 speaker in my patio and I only see that this amps only have 2 channels for only 2 speakers.
Thank you for any information.
The simple answer is you have a + and a - and L and R speakers to hook up on your amplifier. You can connect as many speakers as long as the plus and minus are connected correctly to the speaker and It is best to have equal amounts of speakers on the L and the R.
The way I did it was I hooked a wire up to the amp that went to the speaker and I daisychained that wire to another speaker, I did that on both the L and R sides. Depending on how many amps your speakers draw, the only downside would be that you could lose a bit of volume out of one or both speakers. I have to say my set up was plenty loud. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
The F900 looks 100% identical to the old Nobsound NS-01G, which was replaced by the NS-10G.
Probably made in the same factory just rebranded. Thanks for watching!
Which is tha best Pls🙏 suggest me..
@@ratidas6356 Different bluetooth versions mostly.
That is so cool it's going to make me buy one of my own or two nice vid
Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel.
May be it is better idea to do review again now
It has been a year
I am wondering how good is Fosi amp
SMSL etc ?
Compared to Noob
I am just publishing a few videos on some of the new many amps out there that will drive a subwoofer, over the next two weeks you should say five or six videos come up on my channel, if you have not subscribed to my channel yeah you should hit the dial button and you should get notifications as a new videos are coming up. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank God finally something small 😲 I'm tired of this big amps for my crib🔥👍🏽can someone plis tell me which one is the best. I'm getting 1 and selling this big thing😪
If you have a subwoofer this is my favorite one. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching I hope this helps.
Was ready to order the next to last 1 but with no power supply? No thanks. About like buying a car with no engine. Otherwise great reviews. Thanks for sharing.
thank you so much for watching
they need a car audio version of that Nobsound NS-20G 200W, they ever get into that field I'll be looking them up for my motorcycle.
I totally agree, I am actually installing one of these in my sprinter van, I think it's going to sound great. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Nobsound is very impressive, it's some type of magic in there. I replaced a Bryston with the 50wX2 for my outdoor B&W AM-1s.
I know right, they sound so good. thanks for watching!
I gave my Mark Levinson monoblocks away. I soiled my britches in 2 minutes after hearing the Nobsound K-Rap 500.
I have 10 watt speakers and a 100wat amp an i wonder if i should worry (i have the speakers for quiet background music)
Just keep the volume low on your amp and it should be fine. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for creating this video. I read that some amps can damage the speakers If Its too powerful? Which Bluetooth ones would you recommend to pair with these bookshelf speakers?
1.Sony SS－J75 8 ohm 75W x 2
2.Q Acoustics 2020i 6 ohm 75W x 2
For Bluetooth of 3.5 connection I really like the: amzn.to/37YPCzT Simple and work great. The way that you are going to ruin your speakers is by turning this up too loud. If You are using an amp that is 100 W per channel it will exceed your 75 W Delivering too much wattage to your speaker intern blowing them out. I believe this one is 100 total so 50 x 50, you should not have a problem. Thanks for watching!
I have an old class AB amp with 600 W per channel at 8 ohm. The speakers can handle 35 but so I could easily pop them. I run low volume so it's fine.
Better read the manual:
Please connect power supply with the device firstly and then plug it into socket. Otherwise there may be electric spark. (All class D amplifiers are similar. This is very normal.)
This was from the Nobsound Manual.
I would have but I can't read Chinese. Thanks for letting me know how it works, no more sparks. Thanks for watching.
@@hanzdidit Good answer 😄
Dude ! Never plugin in a powered adapter !!! That is a basic electrotechnical rule ! First plugin the amp end & then to the power outlet, not other way around...
I know... I was trying to be funny but apparently it did not come across that way. Thanks you for the info, it is god for people to know this. Thanks for watching.
@@hanzdidit lol you didn't know come on man, admit it. it was painfully obvious you didn't know and you were NOT trying to be funny.
Good video other than that.
does anyone else's nobsound mini amps click when connected with Bluetooth and a track starts but if you pause it or there's a gap in the music of 3 seconds of no sound it clicks as if it is clicking on and off standby, only got the amp a few days ago and the clicking is already putting me off it
I have not had any problems yet. I have 3 on all day everyday and have had no problems yet... Thanks for watching I'm sorry you're having trouble with yours.
Someone please help me understand why these (some) speakers don't have tone control. The bass over powers the speakers I have. I need to back it off. But can't. It's just fixed equalization.
It doesn't make sense
Everyone of these answered I tried has a base in trouble adjustment, I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about can you elaborate a little more so I can try to help? Thanks so much for watching.
Can someone help me out. I'm a rookie at all this.. He mentioned it's a 2 channel mini amo but has 4 speakers. Is he just bringing from one speaker to another? Thanks!
Yes I am running one of the large and one of the small speakers on the right channel and the other two are on the left channel.
I really like the information but I am looking for a non Bluetooth setup. Do any of these work with speaker wires other then the SMSL Sa50
Yes this one will work with just speaker wire. amzn.to/3aLtY6C let me know what you think. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Man thanks for the review of these. I need to build a shop stereo. What budget speakers would you recommend?
Glad to help. As far as speakers go I would try to find some decent ones from Goodwill, I got this set from a friend for $100. th-cam.com/video/Pbhxnq7lIrM/w-d-xo.html you can see I am trying a new amp amzn.to/3l4dmZD This is my new favorite amp for the sound, adjustability and you can add a sub. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
@@hanzdidit yeah I just asked a friend he said he may have some bose speakers he's not using. Hopefully the ohms aren't high. Im looking to make a portable boom box and build a battery pack for it as well. I've found a new amplifier zk-1002l. It claims 100watts x 2 if you use 24v power supply. www.amazon.com/dp/B087FG37Z7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_VgwVFbA5053CZ
