Today’s review is the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB Bluetooth media player. My search for a replacement media player had a few requirements. These included Bluetooth connection, at least one set of RCA level outputs, and no CD player for under $50. After searching through several brands and models with similar features, I landed on this particular source unit. It met my requirements, with additional features, and at a cost of only half my budget. The package included the media player, two wiring harnesses, a set of removal keys, the user’s guide, and the warranty card. The source unit without a CD player is half the size of its counterpart making it very compact and space saving. The warranty registration takes less than two minutes to complete. The installation required connecting the two harnesses, adjusting the mounting cage, and reading the directions. Total time spent from unboxing to pressing play was about 15 minutes. On the test bench I measured several parameters and functions of the unit. First, we will start with the functionality of the media player. With a press of the volume knob, the unit turns on and automatically connects to the last paired device, and begins autoplay. The volume knob pretty much controls all the unit’s functions, at least in bluetooth mode. The knob turns smoothly, and scrolls through the functions and their respective options. The display is large and clear, displaying play information and the “dancing” LEDs. Playback functions are available only for USB mode, while AUX and BT inputs are controlled externally. The unit’s internal amplifier delivers roughly 13 watts of unclipped power to each of the four channels at 4 Ohms, and 16 watts dynamic power. The unit’s RCA signal is roughly 1.37 volts of unclipped signal, ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (1.08 volts and 0.83 volts respectively). I’m hard pressed to find something not to like about this unit, so I will nitpick. The most obvious would be the use of max power. It’s not a real number and makes it difficult to pair components correctly. The LEDs are not an actual spectrum analyzer, but do in fact “dance” to the music. There are many things to like about this unit. The style and appearance seem to fit well with my application. Even though the LEDs are not a real spectrum analyzer, they still move to the music and it feels real, and is definitely visually stimulating. The sound quality is extremely good compared to my expectations for such an inexpensive piece of equipment. The unit functions well and performs even better. This unit completely surprised me, mostly because of brand impression, but also because of the list price. When I found myself scrolling through products at this price point, I definitely had some reservations, especially with max power ratings. Based on my experience, I was hoping to get at least 25%, and that’s pretty much what I got. In the manual, it states the pre-outs are 1V, and delivered almost 40% more at full power. One of the biggest surprises, both the internal amplifier, and amplifier pre-out delivering clean, unclipped power at full volume with no equalization. I think that for the cost, this unit offers many useful and convenient options, and totally delivers on the performance. I think that this unit works great and is a super amazing deal that I would highly recommend to those looking for a non-CD playing, Bluetooth compatible media player, they give this product a try, you won’t be disappointed.
