No real cons - everything sounds great. Before replacing my speakers that were blown, I installed this and it made them sound 10x better by itself.

This is the second HD radio I've owned. HD stations work great in the Twin Cities. Some HD stations sound more digitized on this Pioneer than on my previous unit. It took a couple of days to find the EQ settings needed to remove the tinny digitized sound from the those stations.The radio provides plenty of power for my needs. The ability to change display colors is nice but it doesn't impress the wife. I choose this radio based on its features, price, Pioneer name and the fact that it has buttons for preset stations. After a couple of weeks with the radio I feel those buttons are too small. This radio charges my android phone and allows me to access the contents of the SD card. Pandora still requires an AUX jack to stream from the phone to the stereo....the usb cable will not handle streaming. The owner's manual has tiny font in light grey print which is worthless. I had to download the manual from Pioneer's website.
