Sony MEX-GS810BH

Bluetooth, USB and aux. inputs, NFC pairing and more? I know, you're asking yourself "Where do I sign up?" Lucky for you, you're already in the right place. Check out the Sony MEX-GS810BH.

Those features are cool, but there's even more built-in functionality to make your music sound even more awesome. Sony's DSEE upscaling makes your compressed audio files sound better, ClearAudio+ adds that extra oomph to your tunes, and there's even more to love.

Tired of fumbling through your phone's settings, holding down "pair" buttons and inputting passcodes before your Bluetooth pairing fails? Yeah, us too. Bluetooth pairing shouldn't be that hard, and Sony realizes that. Sony made the whole thing easier for all of us with NFC pairing. Near Field Communications lets you touch your phone to the stereo's dial and boom, you're done. No need to dig through menus, hit the wrong setting four times and say words your mother wouldn't approve of. See? Wasn't that easy?
