Sony MEX-BT 2500
We bought one of these to replace our older Sony stereo, we did not purposely go out looking for this stereo but decided to take a look around Halfords and this one caught our attention, so we bought this Sony.
We are very pleased with it, the sound quality is phenomenal as is expected from Sony a leading brand in sound systems.
It has lots of modern easy to use features including,
...wheel buttons which the previous Sony stereo did one of the reasons we looked at Sony stereos.
I would definitely recommend it to other people as the quality in every way is outstanding I consider it one of the best stereos in this price range on the market.
Definitely worthy of a 5 star excellent rating. ... more
Sony MEX-BT 2500
We bought one of these to replace our older Sony stereo, we did not purposely go out looking for this stereo but decided to take a look around Halfords and this one caught our attention, so we bought this Sony. We are very pleased with it, the sound quality is phenomenal as is expected from Sony a leading brand in sound systems.
It has lots of modern easy to use features including,
Bluetooth Audio Streaming Hands Free with built in microphone DRIVE-S CD chassis which gives higher sound quality 24 bit digital analogue converter MP3/WMA CD Playback Aux-in for portable audio compatible on the front of the stereo EQ Lite (2 Band Equalizer) Blue Key Illumination IR Card Remote RM-X304 supplied
It works really well with Bluetooth phones for playing songs directly off the phone, it's compatible with any Bluetooth phone. It has a stylish modern design in black with blue led lights making it easy to see and use in a dark car. It came with a remote so people in the back of the car can control the stereo easily as well. The stereo itself is easy to use with nicely set out buttons on the front. It also has a removeable front so you can remove it when you are not using it which could prevent your car being broken into.
The instruction manual was easy to understand and the stereo was simple to install and was fitted to the car within 10 minutes.
We paid £119 for it on an offer at Halfords with was very good value for money, it after went up to £130 which is still a responsible price and good value for money. I know lots of people who have bought these stereos and are very happy with them.
We have not had a single problem with it yet the sound quality even when really loud high bass music is played does not become distorted in any way. It is not affected by un-even road when the car hits a bump it doesn't jump. This stereo also plays slightly damaged CD's like they were never broken. The MP3 feature is very use full so you can have around 100 and more of your favourite tracks all on one CD and it will play them to the same quality as an original CD.
The only downside we have found to this stereo is it does not work with our Renault Laguna's steering wheel buttons which the previous Sony stereo did one of the reasons we looked at Sony stereos.
I would definitely recommend it to other people as the quality in every way is outstanding I consider it one of the best stereos in this price range on the market.
Advantages: Stylish, Not Expensive Disadvantages: Hard to use at first, Difficult to Set-Up
Sony Stereo - MEX-BT2600
This is the upgrade to the MEX-BT2500 which was a very popular stereo and still is. This new model is a cool looking stereo from the quality and trusted brand Sony, it is stylish to look at both when turned off and on.
After always having Sony stereos when this new one came out we decided we'd get if for our Renault Laguna, the old one had worked with the steering wheel controls but unfortunately this one doesn't as you have to buy a separate cable to connect it up to your steering wheel controls.
Setting it up and Ease of Use
This is definitely not the easiest stereo to set up the first time we put it into our Laguna it went in fine and worked perfectly getting used to all the settings and functions does take a while though, but it isn't exactly a basic stereo so if you do not like taking ...
The MEX-BT2500 connects automatically to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, and has a super-sensitive built-in microphone, which means there's no need to use a headset or install a hands-free kit.
