Nice

Built in mic hands free, great for the price. You get what you pay for!

Terrible sound

It's cheap for a reason. There is no bass. There is very little high end. Sound quality is bad, RMS output can't be anywhere close to what is claimed. EQ presets are awful and there are no user EQ settings. I'd send it back if it wasn't already installed.

Power Acoustik PL-81BP

This radio is recommended. I was surprised at the features and sound quality. I had purchased a radio for $100 with a big brand name that died after 15 months. This radio is as good or better. I purchased it to listen to the news but soon found myself listening to a song by Journey. Easy features to figure out and program where necessary. From the moment I opened the box I had the adapter crimped and the radio completely installed within 30 minutes. Another plus is this radio doesn't have any annoying flashing lights. The remote has clearly labeled features and arrives ready to go. For the amount Sonic wants for this radio you can't go wrong.
