| Hear the detail, warmth and clarity, the way the artist intended it, from all of your highly compressed MP3, WMA and AAC files stored on USB memory device, iPod and portable digital players. By restoring data (especially higher frequencies) that tend to get lost in the digital compression process, Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever technology enhances audio reproduction nearly all the way up to 20 kHz frequencies.When Advanced Sound Retriever is "On", the high frequency range is compensated to match the frequency response curve of the original sound.Pioneer's DEH-P600UB is ready to roll with capability for direct connection to your iPod. USB 2.0's speed and capability allow an elevated iPod experience in the car, and nearly limitless expandability for portable media players and USB memory devices.File search and access are extra-quick. The headunit keeps song, artist, time and album information displays very clear and user-friendly, and control is intuitive through the 7-way rotary commander. The system's wired USB connection provides direct digital signal transfer from the iPod for clean, clear sound.The DEH-P600UB is smartly designed to expand your system, customize your experience, provide superior sound quality and easy operation. |

| I bought this to replace my 5 year old Pioneer which sounded OK but they hadn't worked out the Sirius connection right. I also wanted the USB/Ipod input. As soon as I installed the unit I realized that this unit was a major improvement over the old unit. The sound is crisp and excellent - it is clearly better than the previous unit. There is an MP# sound expander which actually seems to work. The USB cable works perfectly and controls my son's ipod to boot. I have a 32GB flash drive in it right now with 93 folders full of music. I can put it on random for all 2000 songs. The display is a marked improvement over before and I can see the channel, time and the song name all at the same time (previously this didn't work right on Pioneer units). They solved the "function" problem. The graphics available are also tasteful. I also noted that they fixed a major problem - previous units had very bright controls that glared at night. This unit is subdued with quiet lighting of the controls. Thus it looks really great especially at night. The only negative is that with so many options it can get a bit complex. I would rate this with six stars if there were that many as I am that pleased with it. |

I bought this head unit to replace my Pioneer DEH-P580MP, which have been performing rather well for about 2 years.
I wasn't really expecting anything better save the USB port, which was the main reason why i decided on this unit. However, i am truly amazed at the improved sound quality and detail this unit add to MP3 files, maybe is because of the hi volt preouts, maybe because of the flexibility of the 7-band EQ (over the traditional 3-band EEQ), the low pass and high pass filters (which now have a broader range of frequencies to choose from), or because of the Advanced Sound Retriever (ASR) function. This unit is really really worth the price.
About the ASR, I really was a bit skeptical about its functionality, primarily by the fact that my old unit features Bit Media eXpander, which is advertised as an aid in improving sound quality for MP3, however, ASR have worked really well with my MP3, the sound difference can be heard immediately while switching it On and Off. It definitely beats their previous sound enhancement feature for MP3, namely Bit Media eXpander (BMX).
I highly recommend this unit, for the price i think it delivers more than expected.
Audio Setup: 1 pair of CDT Audio CL-61A (6 1/2), 1 pair of Beyma 6x9 Speakers (rear), 2 kicker CompVR 12" Subs in a sealed enclosure, 1 Alphasonik PMA-6004 4 channel Amplifier (75Wx4 RMS), 1 Pioneer 750 Watts 2 Channel Amplifier for the subs. |

I bought my first pioneer audio piece well over 8 years ago, and it is still kicking great to this day. In fact, I bought an entire pioneer system, 3 amps, 2 sets of component speakers, 2 double voice coil woofers, an eq, yeh, the whole nine yards, and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I have also been a big fan of amazon, ever since my college days, which was not that long ago, and found the web site GREAT. I just wished that Amazon shipped to the Caribbean. We have money and would like to receive the respect that our business is valued.
Thanks again... |

| THIS IS A GREAT HEAD UNIT, THOUGH I DON'T RECOMMEND A NOVICE BUYING THIS PRODUCT. THE CONTROLS ARE RATHER COMPLICATED, AND IT'S NOT VERY EASY NAVIGATING THE I-POD CONTROLS. AN EXPERIENCED USER SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLES, THOUGH. |

I've been buying and installing stereos in my cars for over 10 years. I care much more about sound quality and basic features than flash or bling, which it seems was all you could get in car stereos for a couple years. This is probably the nicest sounding, and most "intelligent" head unit I've ever purchased. It has great sound that is very customizable.
I use it with an external Eclipse amp, and being able to turn off the Pioneer's internal amp saves energy. The illumination is nice and mellow. The USB music player controls work flawlessly...even with my new iphone 3G. I can browse my entire library, or just shuffle the whole thing...all while it keeps it charged.
There's always room for improvement, but the unit does everything I could ask it to do.
Money well spent. |
