Review of JVC KD-R975BTS

Recommended Posts

Ive owned this headunit for about a year now. Previous headunit was an 80prs.

 

Pros: 

clean volume 34/35

does 3 way active 

multiple crossover points

gain control for sub/mid/high

phase control for sub/mid/high

7 band EQ

3 different q factors

lot of pretty color options

front and rear usb

bluetooth

microphone for bluetooth

 

 

cons:

not enough crossover points

7 band eq (not enough bands)

slope options are 12db/6db only

no time alignment

volume will "blip" often when turning the volume down

1-6 buttons are small, hard to press

randomly has issues reading USB drives

randomly unresponsive  and requires faceplate removal, sometimes more than once

 

 

summary: It has a nice feature set, i like the 3 way active, but limited slope options. A lot of times when turning the volume down it will go up one notch before going down. The buttons feel cheap and are small, hard to press. They require a firm press and it makes them feel like they arent working many times. A broader band EQ would be nice, but many people are fine with 7 bands so thats a neutral for me. It has a ton of color options for the faceplate if you like tat kind of thing. Its easily readable in daylight with the right color selected. And of course, sometimes it just does not respond to any input from the faceplate.

 

I dont think i would recommend this headunit to anyone.
