Out of those, the Pioneer DEH-X9500 hands down. I would try and find a good used Pioneer DEH-80PRS

why do you say the pioneer over the others just curious for the reasons and how much better is it than the Pioneer DEH-P8400BH?

 

[sureshot1234 10+ year member]

[sureshot1234 10+ year member]

It doesn't come with a Bluetooth microphone and I don't really like the look and its cheaper than all but that bottom mentioned pioneer the others are all about $200

The pioneer is really nice, also check the excelon of that Kenwood KDC-x997

I carry both and its a flip of the coin. The Kenwood has a better factory warranty, while the pioneer has parrot Bluetooth which the best.

i have looked at the excelon and it is at least 60 more than any of the others, also i dont like to buy used and the cheapest deh-80prs is about $285 so thats out. so just curious how much better is the deh-80prs vs the deh-x9500bhs? and how does the deh-x9500bhs compare to that deh-p8400bh?

thanks for the help guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Just about all the radios now days feel cheap most of us chose pioneer for there vast amount of features.

An the 80prs has everything the 9500 has except the hd radio and Mixtrax which I don't use. On the other hand the 80prs add time alignment dual l-r 16band eqs flexible crossovers, good pandora control aux in in the back two USB slot in the rear. An sd slot behind the face Bluetooth with standard mic Andre auto eq mic comes with the radio all the others have it sold seperate

So unless u need hd radio or Mixtrax the 80prs is much much better

Sorry I work nights and just got up. I chose the Pioneer from first hand experience. I have a friend that has that Kenwood, its a nice unit, just not as many features as my DEH-80PRS. And this is just my opinion, but JVC is gone to shit. I won't speak on Alpine, cause I have nothing good to say.

That's the first thing I thought as well, but I haven't had one come back with that piece broken
