Clean crisp sound. I love it! I recently replaced all my door speakers and added a 600watt 4 ch amp and 10" sub..I had an old Sony explode CD player with 3 band eq hooked up..sounded ok..but when I switched to the pioneer deh 80prs, i had all its eq settings flat and I was blown away the amount of volume I could go with no distortion..sounds ten times better and I still get to adjust the 16 band eq and hpf..

Yes the pioneer 80prs is made with quality internal sound components but the rest like the nob ,buttons and face plate are not as good as should be. The face plate feels light and cheap, it's my second prs80 and same problems... Alpine hd49 is better and will not cutoff under hard bass ... will def stick to Alpine

This stereo sounds out of this world I have it running A PRV 5700 series amp 5,000 watts driving a 10" sundown x series sub and a hifonics 4 channel 1600 watt driving 4 infinity kappa speakers' 6x9 3 ways in rear 6.5" 2 ways in the front and another PRV amp 400 watt 4 channel on alpine tweeters in the front and 8" mid bass PRV's in rear.. This is one of the best sounding stereos I have ever heard the detail and clarity is astonishing ...! The only flaw is the cheap look of the face plate even though it has stage 4 sound quality and all the bells and whistles they could have put a better face plate but I understand they had to cut a few corners to save money to get this out for a reasonable price also the instructions are kinda hard to understand but thanks to the guys on you tube for the schooling....Read full review

I love this radio. It's the best bang for the buck that I could find, with its 16 band graphic EQ, auto time alignment, auto eq...it would be expensive to get these components as standalone. The cons: It's not an easy radio to use at first & takes a lot of research to get through all the features. It's well worth the effort though.

This is the best sound quality headunit on the market short of the 99prs. I'm running mine in network mode and the active crossover adjustments, eq, and time alignment features on this unit are unmatched by any other deck. to get the same features and adjustments you pretty much have to buy a source unit and external DSP module which usually runs close to a grand. I wish this unit supported FLAC files, and the face plate is very tricky to remove without damaging the clip in the top right corner that holds the face to the unit, I broke the face the first time i removed it to reset the unit and switch from standard to network mode.

For a 5 year old head unit- well mine was made a few months ago but this head unit has not been updated in 5 years. Now I know why. It's freaking amazing in so many ways! The sound id crystal clean even at low volumes. You can adjust your 16 band EQ right or left, you can adjust your sound levels front, back, right and left. You can also adjust your hi pass and low pass filters like never before. There is so much fine tuning one would almost think it's hard to use but it's not. There's just a lot to use. My only complaint thus far is the time to load a USB's tracks is a little slow but not horrible. About 10 seconds with a 16 GB thumb drive. It is firmware updatable but I don't know how deep that can go. I use to work with Pioneer in the DJ equipment division. They are very stubborn so maybe no more updates are to be had. SMH. None the less this hardware is dope and by far the best head unit I've ever encountered so if you're thinking about it- don't- just pull the trigger. You won't regret it...Read full review

It has alot of features to crossover and equalizer your sound along with (3) 24bit burr brown da converters for ultra clean sound quality. The only receivers I know to sound cleaner are the older nakamichi cd400 and cd500 but they lacked the features that this unit has. Todays radios emphasis features rather than sound quality. This radio is about sound quality!!!

I love this thing. Awesome sq, dead quiet. Time alignment works great. Love the eq. Only negatives are no easily accessible sub volume control, and I am running a three-way active setup so I have to rely on my amps for one side of the crossover setting for each mid. But I am more than willing to deal with these issues. I've used Kenwood, Alpine and other Pioneer units but this one is the best by far.

This unit replaced an aging Kenwood Excelon unit, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result! I have it set up on the 3 way network (front running tweets/rear running mids/sub running sub) through a very high quality 5 channel amp, and the sound quality achieved is nothing short of phenominal! You are given a tremendous amount of control of your music via the dual 16 band eq's, built in crossovers plus auto time alignment. This unit is the best unit I have ever had, and I have had many. The only con, if you want to call it a con, is that the unit is not sirius/xm ready. So I am running the audio out of a sirius unit into rear aux rca inputs of the pioneer. Problem solved! Works as expected with an ipod, but I am now using a 120 gb solid state drive through one of the 2 rear usb ports, set up for random playback, and all is good. I do not believe you can get a better head unit for the money, and I heartily recommend it.Read full review
If your on a budget and need an awesome headunit I would "highly" recommend this unit. Easy to use and a lot of features. This is for the audiofile in mind. I love this unit.
