Dual XHD7720 4X50 Watt AM/FM/CD Radio with Motorized Built-in HD and Bluetooth - Ready Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price this is the best car radio I could find.It has HD radio, bluetooth (adapter is only $29 to $40 - much cheaper than many), and Iphone/ipod control/display. Works great.Radio must be below driver when mounted in car to see information when in open position (no problem in my Saturn).Install was like any other car radio (it takes time).

Product Description:
Enrich the audio of your car's stereo system with this pair of Dual XS6533 speakers, which install conveniently in a door or rear deck. Each speaker, which measures 6.5 inches in diameter, boasts an anodized polypropylene cone woofer with a foam surround, along with a 0.5-inch swivel tweeter and a 0.5-inch piezoelectric tweeter on a swivel array. The three-way design produces a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz--far wider than the default speakers that come with most cars. Meanwhile, the dual swivels let users pinpoint the best listening angle for the high frequencies, which creates a more pleasing audio profile depending on where you install the speakers. Listeners can also boost the bass by adding a subwoofer to the mix.
An added bonus stems from the speakers' "red satin" interior color, which is framed by a black ABS metal mesh grille. The vibrant hue adds a touch of smokin'-hot style to your car's insides, especially those with black seats and detail. Installation is relatively straightforward thanks to the included instructions, although owners with limited experience making car cutouts should consider hiring an audio technician. In addition, Dual recommends connecting the speakers to an amp with a power range between 2 and 50 watts (with a peak power handling of 120 watts), so car owners with extra-powerful amps should look elsewhere.
The Dual XS6533 speakers come with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
What's in the Box
Two car speakers, mounting hardware, user's manual.

Coby MPCD450BLK Portable MP3/CD Player with AM/FM Tuner and Cassette Deck (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PROS:
1)CD/MP3 CD player.
2)Cassette deck
3)FM/AM Radio.
4)Radio has clear sound and picks up lots of stations.
5)Compact size and easy to carry around.
6)Low price

CONS:
1) Not very loud sound.
2) Looks somewhat cheap.
3) Hard to read the labels on CD controls.
4) No sound equalizers.
5) No sleep timer.
6) No remote.

This serves a great portable player for my home office. Also, for an extra player that I can travel with. Considering the low price and the fact that a player with MP3 capabilities and cassette deck are almost impossible to find, I am pleased with my purchase.
*Note: The reason that I gave it a 4 was because it is hard to read the controls for the buttons above the CD area.

Product Description:
Listen to your favorite CDs, MP3s, audiocassettes, and radio programs while away from home with the Coby MP-CD450 portable stereo system. A great fit for folks who want an affordable stereo for tailgaters or outdoor parties, the system is built around its top-loading CD player, which plays traditional audio CDs and CD-R/RWs along with MP3s recorded on CD. The device gives listeners access to more of their digital music library while also cutting down on CD cargo for road trips (the average CD-R holds 10 hours of compressed MP3 music). The CD player also boasts search and repeat (one or all) functions, along with a backlit LED display that details track and artist information.To complement the CD player, Coby included both an auto-stop cassette deck and an analog AM/FM tuner. The deck's two-way recording (CD and radio) sounds particularly good thanks to the one-touch automatic level control, which ensures consistent results regardless of the source. Meanwhile, the AM/FM radio offers an alternative for folks who enjoy talk programming and DJ playlists. The feature set concludes with a pair of 4-inch wide-range speakers (2 watts x 2), which produce a solid overall sound. Though not powerful, the speakers do the job, especially considering the system's affordable price. The MP-CD450 also includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a carrying handle, and runs on eight D-size batteries or AC power.

Sony CXS-GT5416F Bundle with CDX-GT540UI MP3/WMA/AAC/CD Player Receiver and XS-GF1622X 6.5-Inch Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this model for my Nissan Versa without doing any homework on it...a local store was offering free installation along with a sale price, and I noticed it had a front panel USB connector so I was hoping it would play my MP3 files from a flash drive.I wasn't expecting much in terms of quality and features...I figured I didn't need to spend a lot of money since I would be using the 4 pre-wired door speakers that came with my car.To say I was blown away by the sound would be an understatement...I can only imagine what this would sound like with a nice speaker setup.In any case, here's my take on the good and the not-so-good.

Pros:- Detaching the faceplate is easy.Attaching it can be a bit tricky, but with a little practice most
should be able to get it on in under 20 seconds.

- It's loaded with many of the same features of Sony's higher-priced players.There are several
ways to locate a specific track when playing CD-Rs or USB devices containing a lot of files.

- While playing regular audio CDs sounds amazing, this unit really shines in its ability to make
compressed (MP3) audio sound as good as the real thing; an improved sound processor
(compared to the model it replaced), a feature called Digital Music Plus Advanced, plus a
customizable equalizer all combine to give your data files excitement you've likely never heard
before.

- For FM radio stations that comply with the standard, the Radio Data System (RDS) will provide
song information, help you find particular types of stations (News, Sports, Top 40, Rock, etc.),
and can even set the clock for you.The radio can also store the stronger stations
automatically (BTM), but I prefer setting them manually...otherwise, you'll end up with a lot of
presets you're not interested in.

- Although I can't comment on its capabilities with an iPod, it does play my USB flash drives
without a hitch and has several shuffle and repeat play options.

Cons: - The user interface and manual could be confusing and frustrating for some.Most of the
buttons and the dial have to control multiple functions, so finding your way around the different
features and displays requires patience and learning.I still find myself accidentally
changing a setting I didn't want to or just plain getting stuck.Since the displays are different
depending on the source (CD, Tuner, USB, Aux-in) selected and how much information is
contained in the source, you won't always see what you might expect to see.

- The preset buttons are smaller than I would like.Some, like the source/off button and the
seek+ button, are together (like one big button), and it's easy to push the wrong one.The
included remote doesn't seem to help control the unit any better and doesn't include the
ability to access all of the track finding features.It seems best suited for a backseat
passenger.

- Whether it's day or night, you may run into a problem seeing everything clearly.The blue key
illumination takes care of the buttons while driving at night, but the printed lettering above the
keys is almost impossible to read.During the day, bright sunlight can cause glare problems
and wash out the LCD display (in certain vehicles).

- When Daylight Saving Time ended Nov. 1st, even though I had the unit set up to automatically
change the clock, I had to go back into the setup menu, turn it off, then turn it back on again
before the time reset itself (at least it was accurate).

- When using the Zappin feature to hear short clips of songs to find a track to play, you have to
wait about 2 seconds in between each preview on a regular audio CD and at least 5 or 6
seconds on an MP3 Data Disc or USB flash drive loaded with songs.

For me, the pros far outweigh the cons...after all, you don't have to use all the bells and whistles just because they are there.The sound quality of the CD player and music played through the USB port is outstanding, and anyone desiring more from the radio at least has the option of expanding to HD or SAT radio.I recommend this receiver for anyone (including audiophiles), as it offers tremendous bang for the buck.
