4 Decks to Choose From. . . . .HELP
 
Hi,

I'm debating between the 4 Bluetooth/CD car stereo decks below. I would appreciate anyone helping me come to a decision. They all seem to have most of the features I'm looking for and the price ranges are in my budget as well. I just can't seem to tell which one's going to give me the best overall sound for music and hands-free calling.

1. Alpine CDE-143BT Advanced Bluetooth CD Receiver


2. Pioneer DEH-X6500BT Mobile Single Din In Dash CD/MP3 Receiver with Bluetooth, MIXTRAX and Pandora


3. Sony MEXN5000BT NFC Bluetooth Wireless CD Car Stereo Receiver with App Remote & Pandora Control


4. Sony MEXBT3100P Bluetooth Digital Media CD Receiver with Pandora Control (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I would not even consider Sony ... but that's just me...

Pioneer looks nice, 5 band EQ is better than the Alpine 3band, but Alpine has HP and LP filers ... if you can find out if Pioneer has the filters then I would go with Pioneer, other than that you kinda want the filters so Alpine IMO

Below are the specs for the Pioneer and the Alpine. Unless I'm mistaken, they both have HP & LP filters. If this is indeed the case, is the Pioneer a better stereo? Thanks.

jsmac32raider 05-06-2014 12:15 AM

Thanks very much!

Have you looked at the DEX p99rs pioneer?
Unless I find something better this will probably be my next unit.

Pioneer more features to control audio examples: Auto equalizer. Hight pass / Low Pass Filter. Graph equalizer. Advance sound retriver. While alpine to control the audio is time alightment. Bluetooth handfree only used for communication in the car.

What does the rest of the system comprise of? Speakers, amplifiers?
Sometimes a "tonal" mismatch will occur, and no matter what you try to do, there's gonna be something that doesn't "sound right".
IMO Specs mean less than nothing in the real world.

Don't think so much, just order Pioneer. It's the best choice of the offered.

can you explain what you mean by tonal mismatch between components please?

CRS Oakville 04-14-2015 02:56 AM

He probably thought that if the components are not compatible with one another, not will be as well when they are compatible components.

At the shop That I am at, We have had great success with tuning Pioneer head units and actually getting a new result in the sound. I found their 2015 line up to be strong, well priced and unrivaled in their features and specs.

thumpper 07-05-2015 08:30 PM

Personally I would go with the Pioneer
