Audiophiles Out There... The Pioneer DEH-80PRS Has Arrived!


Recommended Posts

Generally speaking, I have had tremendous success with the Pioneer units. I replaced my RFX-9420 with a DEH-700BT a few years ago and have never looked back. For a single DIN radio with simple iPod control and excellent Bluetooth, I have been extremely happy. This deck looks to build on that platform and has a bunch of features that we could only dream about just a few short years ago.

To put that price in perspective, the first DIN sized car CD players were just that - CD players (they had no tuner built in). They sold for upwards of $1,000.00 and were super difficult to install. The first AM/FM/CD players introduced (like the Sony CDRX7 and the Alpine 7900), had TWO outboard modules that you had to find some place to locate! Processing was confined to Bass and Treble controls. All of these units skipped at even a hint of vibration.

My how technology has changed.

so your saying this deck is functionable like those $1000 decks back in the day?

Sold me on that, I remember those, they did not even have an amp built in either,

This is what ive been looking and waiting for, Ive been deck shopping for a while and does not seem like there is much like this out there anymore, unless you go with a $1200+ screen that seems to have a lot of options, but probably not like this. (minus gps and video and other onscreen options.)

Ive had lots of screens, but just cant interest myself in getting another one for some reason, i just want superior audio control. looks like this is it

Nice features on this h u. I like the Pioneer a lot. But they could have made it as nice as the old 800/880 prs. This one is too ugly !

But the ipod and usb control was missing in the older one. I sold mine only for that reason, and I got a 9300 sd : I'm very happy with it ! Less music control , but that is enough for me.

That new one is a superior deck, though.

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.
