Pyle Car MP3 player November 16, 2008 Barrie B. Strachan (Cedar City, Utah) 23 out of 25 found this review helpful
This unit is not for everybody, but if you want a simple, inexpensive low-end MP3 player for your car, it may be for you.
The AM-FM radio has digital tuning and works fine, but has no presets. If you feel you need 30 station presets, don't buy this.
The MP3 player has front panel slots for an SDHC card as well as a USB thumb drive. Buttons allow you to skip up/down one song, 10 songs, or a complete file. Additional controls include a rotary volume control (way better than pushbuttons in my opinion), a rotary "tone" knob that doesn't do much, a MUTE button, a LOUD button which is supposed to enhance bass and treble but doesn't have much effect, clock setting buttons and the file control buttons. The display is large and easy to read and is illuminated with a nice bright blue light. The front panel also has a mini phone plug input for an Ipod or CD player.
The claimed 160 watt power output is ridiculous. The unit draws about 8 watts primary power while driving two 4 ohm speakers at full volume. The real power output is probably about 5 watts. This provides adequate listening volume in my convertible at highway speeds, but it wil NOT shake the car or shatter your eardrums. If you want more power and enhanced tone, you could connect the player to one of the many available power amp/equalizers on the market. There are no RCA outputs on this player but many external amps can be connected direct to the speaker outputs.
The bottom line is, you're not going to get a $300 car stereo for under forty bucks, but if all you want is a simple device that handles SDHC cards and has a rotary volume control, without the added complexity of a built-in CD or cassette player, this unit fills the bill. An external equalizer/amplifier will add much improved tone and volume performance at considerably less cost than an integrated unit of comparable quality.
MP3 PLAYER February 17, 2010 Larry Miller I put this player on my motorcycle and it great with usb and with the sd.card.
what do you expect for $30.00 November 15, 2008 Charlie Parris 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read the reviews before I purchased mine, didn't sound like much but with all the car stereo thefts in my area I figured what the heck, maybe they won't steal this one. The first one I received was DOA but the supplier quickly replaced it, and I installed it in 20 minutes (running 4 speakers)... yeah there's a little distortion, but you can tweak most of that out. I mostly got it just for mp3 and sd card use and the music is very clear. True, you get what you pay for, this is not a high end unit but works well for me
