I was wary to purchase a stereo at this price point and an unfamilar brand at that. I have to say I'm generally impressed. For under sixty dollars you get a stereo that has an aux input, USB input AND a SD card input. You don't find that on any brand names at this price point. I like the idea of putting an 8GB sd card or flash drive and hitting random (which it does for all sources)and not having to mess with much else. The display, which is quite busy, is attractive and fully animated with a pulsing three color equalizer and rotating CD icon when playing discs. The only complaints I have is that its an all button deck. If you are used to a volume knob or jog dial, this unit will take some getting used to. Other than that, I find the scrolling text for the ID3 info annoying, but that's a personal preference. Tuner works fine. Sound is good all around. I've read conflicting statements about the max wattage being from 100 to 400 watts, but the sound is clear at peak volumes in my truck and I don't really listen to music that loud anyway. It did come with a full function remote and hardshell padded carrying case for the faceplate, which some name brands don't even provide anymore. Overall, the build quality is on par with other brands and I think its a great value worth considering.

This stereo is OK. It's a great value but is missing a complete of really obvious features. For the auxiliary input evaluations, I'm using an LG Optimus Android cellphone.

Radio: Auto tuner, memory, quality are all good. Has 3 FM memory banks and 2 AM. Sounds good.

Audio CD: Plays fine but has troubles resuming once turned off and back on.

Data CD: Haven't tried.

Aux In: Works, but pretty quiet. Have the volume as loud as possible on both head unit and device, which creates a pretty normal listening level, but the high volume from my phone creates a little distortion. (For perspective; the volume goes up to "45." Talk radio is good around 20. Maxed on both the head unit and phone creates a comparable volume.)

USB In: Not sure what's wrong, here. It works, for a moment, but it seems as if the power is a little irregular or wiring is loose or something. The phone dismounts and re-mounts. It doesn't stay connected long enough to actually play anything. The manual advertises the USB port is for memory sticks: Perhaps they're more fault tolerant and work better?

SD In: Haven't tried.

The face plate feels pretty cheap. It has buttons instead of dials, which make tuning and volume adjustments a little tedious, and the entire removable plate doesn't sit perfectly flat. The brightness of the screen is not great. It's FAR too bright at night, and too dim during the day. I have a query into Naxa to find out how to adjust brightness because it wasn't obvious how to do it with their manual. -UPDATE: 3 business days for a reply, and the answer is the brightness cannot be changed.

Also, the face plate buttons are bright blue. Neither the pictures on Amazon nor the box reflect this.

Basically, it works, but spending a couple dollars more will buy you a much more capable stereo. But it's also a much less obnoxious stereo than many other after-market head units, and that is worth something.

so far so good. for the price. you get many features. I like the bluetooth feature so I can talk on the phone hands free. and I can listen to my music on my phone thru bluetooth without any wire. and it's auto connect whenever i start my car so I don't have to bother with the setting everytime.

WTH is a NAXA?! anyway, this cheap (price-wise) little deck works great for me. It's been awhile since I purchased it, and it's still going strong. Only downside is, if you use a large memory stick/card, after 900 or so songs, it gets an asterisk and a number and you cannot skip songs. the number changes, but the song doesn't. This deck can only read a certain amount of memory off a card or USB.

02-05-2013 deck is still just as good as it was on day 1.
