Sony xlpod hu

my friend is thinking of geting a Sony CDX-M7815X hu for his car. he likes the design and blue lighting.

he was also thinking of geting a pioneer deh-p860mp because it almost has the same design as the sony. but he doesn't want to copy me.

does the sony deck sound pretty good?

Uh comparing to the Pioneer...don't let him stitch out just because you'll have the same thing. That Pioneer is a lot better and has more features.

I'll choose the Pioneer, but Sony's are good too besides what everybody in here says that they are crap and all.

BTW what's wrong with your friend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/slap.gif.87520e8ca8e90076ac30e777c0de5331.gif he is not copying anything unless he just wanna be different.

your friend should be slapped for even thinking about the Sony against the Pioneer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

my bro has a older model sony xlpod and it doesn't sound that bad.

what if my friend replaces all speakers and gets same good as ones. would this improve the SQ if he gets the sony?

yeah, but I would still go with the Pioneer 100% hands down. If he doesnt want to copy you, let him look into Alpine's head units. I wouldn't skimp on the Head Unit, its one of the most important parts of a system.

My friend has an explod syste, all I have to say is "LOL" about his system. Best part is, he thinks his is good, and he thinks he cold "own" me in a DB drag. (He hasn't heard my system yet).

No Sony is that bad... they should stick to TV's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I own a Sony CDX-7705X h/u and I have had no problems what so ever with it. Sound quality is great and lots of nice features.

No, Sony Head Units are completely awesome.

I've got 3 Sony HU's , all functioning flawlessly since day 1. The newest is nearly 3 years old (CDX-M630), the next just slightly older (C-90), and the oldest still running strong after 8 years. (EXCD-21).

Never had any issues with about the 40 or so Sony HU's I've installed over the past few years either. Everyone is still happy with their Sony's as well.

It's ok though. The bandwagon blindly dismisses Sony as junk simply because of one reported bad experience from a person who likely has as much knowledge in car audio as this board does in Nuclear Fusion as a whole.

Whats worse, is that the same story gets repeated over and over by those who have little to no direct experience over an extended amount of time with Sony Head Units.
