There are a ton of different ways to use the B50, it’s basically the Swiss Army Knife of amplifiers. I used it as a desktop amp for nearfield listening, but you could use it for HDMI two-channel audio for a living room, a dedicated Bluetooth amp in a bedroom, a phono preamp in a listening room and so many more options abound that I cannot test everything for this review.

The Arylic B50 boasts an impressive power output, delivering crystal-clear sound and rich dynamics that breathe life into your music collection. With its high-fidelity performance and robust amplification capabilities, the B50 allows you to rediscover your favorite tracks with stunning clarity, depth, and precision. Clean power and plenty of it was my first thought, it sounds great! The amp sounds like it has power, but it can be a bit airy at times. That’s a good reason to use the sub-output. I almost like the sound of the A50+ a bit more than this. Of course, correction is available using the EQ, however, it still does lack a bit of warmth in the highs. The bass and mids were excellent overall, I really enjoyed this little compact amp.

The only oddity I noticed was a mild popping sound when turning off the power, which happened around 75% of the time. But that’s about it. I wish I could have tested every possible setup with the B50; it just has so much versatility in a small package.

Other than the power-down popping noise, the Arylic B50 Bluetooth Stereo Amplifier is a solid all-around performer.
It has a use in any room you use it in. At the price of $139 its feature set is tough to beat; it has everything you need and then some. The sound is great, not perfect, but still above the norm for the price. It’s a great amp for just those getting into hi-fi or setting up a new system on a budget. Even if you don’t need it, you probably will think of good use for it by the time it arrives at your doorstep. It’s a very solid amp!
