Faulty Product I Had To Return

| This was a case of "price too good to be true". When I went to an audio store to have it installed, I was told that it was missing 2 important wires and because of that, the sound would likely go in and out, and it would only be heard in 2 out 4 speakers. I ended up purchasing a better built product and returned the Pyramid product to Amazon. |
Do not buy this

| Definately one of the cheapest items I have ever seen. It worked for about three minutes. |
Very cheap constructions

| I returned it the moment I opened the box. It was of very cheap material and construction. I didn't want to even spend time installing it in my car. Just not worth it. For another 30-40$ I could get a Sony brand. |
Looks and feels very cheap, old school analog radio

| This thing looked great in the picture, but when I opened the box it looked very cheap. Its radio is old school analog radio, tuner and volume controls are potentiometer based. Spring based cheap plastic switches. It looked and felt so cheap that I was turned down just by holding it into my hands for 5 minutes. Its true that you can't expect much for $20 (the price I paid for it), but I thought that they can make it cheap because it does not have a CD drive, only SD card and USB key ports. If you keep looking for a deal, you can get a pioneer stereo for $50 or $60, this thing is definitely not worth spending your money at whatever price. I feel dissatisfied even at $20, I am not sure who would buy this at its regular price. |
Great - for the price

This radio has good FM radio reception. Even with no antenna it picks up more than my home stereo does with an antenna. The SD card reader plays MP3's great from my 8GB Micro SD with adapter. I've tried VBR, and Set Bit rate MP3's of different types, and everything has played fine.
The unit is light weight and generally seems cheap.
It has stereo speaker outputs, and both speakers share a common wire with ground. The built in wires are tiny gauge and cheap. This unit doesn't do 200 watts of anything. If you tried to run 200 watts of power through this it would definitely melt your wires... debate-ably before you could blow the amp.
The USB port did not recognize the micro SD to USB adapter I had.
I am using this as a lightweight FM radio / MP3 player in my house, and powering it with a deep cycle battery hooked to a solar panel. It works great so far, and sounds better than I expected.
I like that there is a 1/8" front line in on it so you can connect your phone or other mp3 player though it.
If you're expecting a high quality rugged stereo that will power anything larger than a pair of 6x9 speakers... You will be very disappointed. If you are looking for an inexpensive light weight unit to play FM / MP3 through a pair of small speakers... Well this is a bargain. |

| Audio sounds distorted. No screw holes on the sides for installation. Unit reboots for no reason after 30 minutes of loud playing. |
