Rockville RHB70 Home Theater Compact Powered Speaker System, Bluetooth/USB/SD/FM, 4" Subwoofer, 2.1 Channel, 100W Peak, Cherry Wood Finish, for Home Entertainment

This is an AC powered, speaker with sub woofer and radio. This not a self-powered unit. That is, it doesn’t have a rechargeable battery in it. This does appear to have stereo but both speakers are in the one unit. With the sub woofer, it’s good to put on the floor and it will fill the room with a rich sound. It packs a punch for such a small size. It’s not going to rattle the windows but it’s loud enough to listen to music with volume to spare. The depth and quality of the sound that comes out of this is like a larger stereo that cost much more. The highs and lows are there. It makes music you’ve heard before seem like new songs. It has great bass but not the boom, boom, boom overpowering that you sometimes hear. It does have BT and pairs quite easily with a phone. It also has an AUX feature, radio and an SD card slot. The kicker is this thing has a full featured remote. This works well by its self. I thought that being a single unit that the stereo sound would be lacking. But it has a spacial sound as if two speakers are spaced out. It does have the open speakers on the front and no grill to cover those. That could be a problem if someone bumps into it or otherwise hits it. But this has great sound and far greater than I was expecting for fifty bucks.

I purchased this because I wanted something to hook to an aging PC in my hobby room. I own quite a few sound bars and a full fledge amplified stereo in my living room. This thing sounds better than my Harmon K on my master PC and the same brand on the sound bar in my bedroom. Follow the rules and place a bass producing device in a CORNER of a room and you will be shocked at the bang for the buck. It can’t compete with the $$$$ living room stereo but you get the idea.

Great 😊 buy for the price The bass don't hit as hard as I would like. But still is a great purchase. It has clear vocals and picks up most of the radio channels

I purchased 4 of these little monsters. I have them connected to Echo Dots in each Room of my home with an Echo Show in the center of the home accenting them perfectly. The little sub woofers have amazing low end quality even when cranked to full and the tweeters sound great. Some of the customers have claimed that these units are mono. This is absolutely not true. They are left and right, just lay them on their side and abracadabra, left and right. If you do not believe me simply pull the included MiniAudio adapter a 1/4 inch out of the controlling device and watch one of the tweeters cut out. Back to business, These are the best $35 speakers out there. The remote controls leave a bit to be desired, the number pad is set up with 4 digits per row rather than the STANDARD 3 digits per row which just makes my head throb. I assure you that is the only shortcoming of these devices. They will not replace a head unit and tower speakers but holy crap, I will crank them rather than the stereo especially with the voice controls of the Echo devices that I have them connected to. It is stifling to be a room away and hear the crisp bass and treble coming from these speakers. My conclusion, Buy a full 4 pack of these things and wait by the mailbox for them to come. Buy them for your friends. Buy them for your enemies and make new friends. Ignore the negative reviews, only a fool purchases a speaker and cranks up Dr. Dre to full volume without expecting to blow a cone out of a speaker!! If you take care of it and do not throw it in the trunk of your car like trash it will work every time you turn it on!! Of course there is a hum when you leave it cranked to full with no audio input, is this your first stereo kid? Most importantly, do not be afraid of the price point. These portable stereos are worth their weight in gold!!

Rockville RHB70 Home Theater Compact Powered Speaker System w Bluetooth/USB/FM I stumbled upon this speaker system while searching for an alternative to a soundbar for a TV in my office. I was drawn in by the price and the input options (and it comes with a remote), so I figured I'd give it a try. After about a week, these are my thoughts: The Good: - Decent sound for the price - Variety of source/sound input options (Auxiliary, Bluetooth, FM tuner, SD card, USB) - Easy BT connectivity - Fast (free!) shipping from seller The Not-So-Good: - The FM tuner presets. There is no way to input your own favorites in the station preset slots. The only way to add presets is to hit the scan button and the tuner goes along the entire FM spectrum and it adds stations that it finds into the available preset slots. That defeats the purpose of having your favorite stations in the preset slots because they would be taken up by a bunch of stations you don't listen to. Granted, there are plenty of slots, but it would be nice to have your favorites or most listened to slots up front and grouped together. - The color. Perhaps if it was offered in a couple of other color options including, oh, I don't know… perhaps… BLACK? Unless your home decor is Steampunk themed, the copper color of the speaker unit sticks out like a sore thumb. It's safe to assume that most home electronics are black and having something not visually stand out would be cool. - The Bluetooth connectivity chime is LOUD! Every time I connect a BT device to the speaker, a loud chime rings indicating a successful connection and there seems to be no way to lower the volume of the chime. So, be careful when going BT with this speaker with a sleeping baby around. All in all, it's good sounding speaker system for its price point. I'd recommend it more enthusiastically if some quirky things were addressed.

I got it. I’ve been listening to it. It is wonderful everything it says it’ll do. It’ll do. It’s good looking it’s quality made. If it’s almost anywhere in your home in the sound is this the greatest sound I’ve ever seen. I see you small box. I love it.

This is why for all electronic products I buy on Amazon I NEVER write a review during the warranty period-never right away. Why? Because way too many electronics products manufactured this century are cheaply make garbage like this speaker. For example, I still have my Cuisinart multi function "blender/grinder, etc." working perfectly that I bought 35 years ago in the late 80s. It is indestructible-I have checked out the current versions & they appear cheap & brittle. Anyway, strangely the Bluetooth would easily pair/connect to my chromebook but would NOT do so to my standard android phone. I've had some BT products NOT connect to my chromebook but ALL EXCEPT for this ALWAYS connect to my phone. So I started the RMA process via e-mail w/their CS. While timely w/their responses, the responses seemed to be written by middle schoolers w/a very limited command of English & phrase context-borderline illiterate-I struggled to understand their responses because it appeared they didn't actually take the time to read what I wrote in my thread. Finally, magically, out of stubborness I tried again about a week later and it would pair/connect to my phone randomly about a month into using. Then, a few months later, the bass subwoofer just stopped working out of the blue-I had only been using it for a handful of months. Now the speaker is useless except for maybe listening to podcasts but certainly not music. I revisited the e-mails about the RMA and confirmed replacement/repair was still under warranty. Which was technically true. BUT-and it's a BIG BUT-the QR code pdf attached to the e-mail was NOT for an always standard FREE RMA return but something internal for them! WTH? Then why would they would attach THEIR internal QR for me??? They NEVER said the cost of shipping for the RMA was on me as the customer for THEIR defective product. THIS WAS NEVER CALLED OUT CLEARLY AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. They said I could take to it to USPS, Fedex or UPS-and guess what? I went to two of them and was told the QR code had nothing to do w/a standard for all other companies that have defective products under warranty-I have NEVER paid to ship a product out under RMA for warranty repair/replacement this century-this was a total joke. The cost to mail it to them from the Southwest to the Northeast even by ground FOR ME was around 1/2 the price of what I paid for the speaker-$25 in postage or so! So right, I am going to pay that, get it fixed or replaced, shipped back on their dime and THEN it will probably stop working again, sooner rather than later from my perspective based on the two issues w/the product starting when I bought it and then again shortly thereafter. No thanks. Instead, I have cut my losses, given up on my sunk cost & pivoted to buying this product (iLive Bluetooth Speaker System with Built-In Subwoofer-iHB23B) that actually has a built in subwoofer PLUS two adjacent speakers AND immediately pairs/connects to all of my devices via BT. So far so good. But guess what? Like this speaker, I will wait months before I write a review of it in case I end up having a similar all around miserable product & CS experience like I have had w/Rockville.

My ancient Durbrand sound amp that I got from Kmart in the 1990s got beat up from my two year old rat terrier whom chew the speakers wires attract to the woofer. Nobody makes this brand anymore, which is a shame because the amplifier was so clear and loud when connected to my CRT TV set. Try to fix it, but there is no sound out of the separate speakers. Went to Amazon to see if there was still old school rca audio cable friendly sound amplifiers. Most sound bars are just made for the current digital HDTVs, but I found this model, the Rockville RHB70, catering to my situation. The Rockville is a combination subwoofer and regular speakers amplifier, so no longer are there a need for separate attrach left and right wired speakers. Plus it supports Bluetooth and has a built in fm receiver. The price is amazing at about $50, much less than most sound bars. I placed the rca audio cables from my CRT TV set to the back of the Rockville amplifier. The sound was just as excellent as the older Durbrand amp, with the bonus of no loose wires from separate speakers. The only notice I would add that the rca audio cables would not work on my modern Roku HDTV the same way. I had to use a 3.5 mm to 2-male rca adapter audio stereo cable. If you are old enough to remember the original Sega Genesis console where the audio wand plugged into its headphone jack, then the left and right rca cables to the receiver, it is just like that to get sound. Anyways, I am very impressed by this amplifier*****
