Sony CDX-C680 CD Changer

Pros: ESP, excellent tuner
Cons: none yet

If you want to listen to CDs in your 4X4 when driving off the beaten path, give the CDX-680 a try. I installed one on a new 350 super duty 4X4 several months ago and like the results. Not only is this a very good Cd player, but you also get a remarkable...

Pros: Great sound, volume KNOB, integrates with CD changer, optional wired/wireless remotes
Cons: Have to pay extra for remotes, display can be hard to read in sun

I actually own a C780. It's basically the same as the C680, except that is has 4 volt preamp outputs for getting a cleaner signal when you use an external amplifier.

The C780 is an in-dash single CD player and AM/FM stereo with a large,...

Pros: The sound clarity is excellent, great features.
Cons: Style is non-appealing

Pros: Nice display, no problems with sound quality.
Cons: Flip-down face, inefficient use of space and buttons, lackluster CD-Text implementation.

Pros: ease of use, anti-skip
Cons: none that I have experienced

This Sony receiver even stands up to a hefty jolt without even missing a note. Thanks to the new Electronic Skip Protection technology from Sony you'll never miss a beat even if you are trying to climb MT. Everest in your hummer! But the features on this...

Pros: clear sound, cool display, easy to use
Cons: when its cold outside the display is harder to see

The Sony CDX-C680 is a very high quality CD player for the money. It has a clear display easy to read which also includes cd text capability. You usually need a CD changer for that but sometimes it will just pop up when you play a CD. This is a very...

Pros: ITS A SONY!
Cons: Too many features and too few buttons makes opperation difficult

I just swapped out my Clarion for the new Sony and boy are my ears hurting...i think its from the lack of sound quality. The features offered are neat but how do you get them to work? The world may never know. The buttons are too small to use while...
