Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Pioneer DEH-X7800BHS CD Receiver by John Duffield

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A solid head unit, but the WORST, most unreadable daylight display I've ever had on a stereo. Only recommended for vampires.

That would be an absolute 5 star if the display didn't lag so much in daylight. Love the features, the controls, the bluetooth pairing works great, the built in Spotify is just great. Good performance. The controls are good, could be easier but the biggest issue is that the display is terrible in daylight. It's barely legible. I have to raise my hand to "shade" the display so I can read it. Also, for anyone who says you have to turn the brightness up to the maximum, this is awful. The worst display I've ever had in a car radio. Factory units are MUCH better. So unfortunately I can't rate it higher, I have to live with that, but I don't understand how the engineers and designers let that happen. Pioneer had to fire everyone involved in the show. It's like having a Lamborghini without a speedometer or rev counter, so you don't know how fast you're going or when to change gears. If you are a party animal or vampire and only use it at night, 4 or 5 stars.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Update Availability
