Listen to Pio, Sony, and Blaupunkt on the SQ front also look at Kenwood, Clarion and the cheaper Alpines. I understand the Alpine 9843 sells for under 10K (it has only 1 pre out).

any particular problem with pioneer or just want to go to another brand.....I would suggest kenwood, alpine, blaupunkt(can be considered) for better sound.....sony is a bit cheap sounding....

Sony is priced within 10k.

SonyStyle

and Kenwood


Kenwood Corporation | Products | Car Entertainment | Head Unit | KDC-X9533U

Dont know the price

USB as in u can plug in a pendrive and play songs directly?? or is it used 2 transfer songs to the headunit itself

[vid6639]

you can plug and play songs directly from the USB. The pioneers have this as well now.

Yep. You can directly plug-in a pendrive and play the songs off it.

In the case of Sony, some models have memory in the faceplate itself, and the data needs to be copied onto the faceplate (from your computer), and then played off it.

low_bass_makker,no problems as such from pioneer wanted to see if there is something better in the market in that price range... and please guys i dont want to have a sony...
how much will alpine cost which has 3 pre-outs...
while considering clarity and functions which head unit would be good...

If you are fine with Pioneer then I would suggest go for Pioneer only.Pioneer has a decent output and You will missout on OEL display, If you dont go for pioneer. Since you were using 6850 I would suggest you go for 7950UB or 6950IB. I dont know much diff bw two except 79-- has a autoslide feature while the other one is manual. Both have USB feature. You'll need to confirm the prices for both models.

It's a great VFM and feature packed HU for that sum!!

i still prefer the looks of the 6850 over the 6950. if i had to get a headunit and i didnt really need the USB connectivity i would personally go in for the 6850 instead although its a little older(last years stock)

6850 is still available for about 8.8 - 9.2kgrey but in a month or two it will be replaced by 7950 pricing about 10.2 - 10.8 as for the start..
yesterday i had seen the 6950 it had one extra cable coming from the rear when i asked the dealer he said it is used for the Bluetooth connectivity( I guess he also wasnt sure about that)

Pioneer 7950UB looks hot
