Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for money

My head unit in my car broke recently and it will be weeks before I can replace it. I've since bought this one to at least have some music until a replacement arrives. At the time of writing, Revain is priced at $20, apparently lower in the past, and at Walmart, it's around $13. At $20, this head unit is an absolute steal. I'm shocked that for this price we're getting Bluetooth, Micro SD and USB. even a remote control! In my setup I connect the front speakers from the deck, the rear speakers and the subwoofer to external amplifiers. I'm not an audiophile, but everything sounds clean and without distortion. I'm sure over 90% of people would be completely satisfied with the sound quality. Good: Good sound quality, good value for money. Unlike other Blaupunkt stereos I've had, no antenna adapter is required from the US to Europe. Easy to connect with Bluetooth. Bad: Radio presets are only on the remote control. The equalizer can only be adjusted in the app, with the exception of some presets that can be switched by remote control. when you turn on the headlights (although the display isn't very bright and not every car will support that anyway) The second pre out is a 3.5mm jack, so you'll need an RCA to 3.5mm Adapter if you have an extra amp (just a few bucks, but you probably won't be able to buy it locally these days). The first device I got had a dead screen and most of the negative reviews seem to have the same issue. Revine of course exchanged without problems. I'm not sure if this bodes well for the future. I will update when the display goes blank on the new device. I see this as a lot more of a hassle for those who don't know how to install a car stereo themselves and have to pay the shop to install, remove and replace. Note, however, that the entire unit is only about 2 inches deep, making it easier than ever to hide the wiring during installation, and it might even be possible to place it in some interesting places if you don't want to that it is in the radio resonator Originally. for any reason.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
