PIONEER PREMIER DEH-P8MP MP3 WMA Receiver

PIONEER PREMIER DEH-P80MP MP3 WMA Receiver

Look the same, have the same features but the 80 costs over $50 more! What the hell? I read features and couldn't find anything diffferent.

I just want to educate myself beforwe I buy an outdated model

 

the 8 is a premier unit. The 80 is not.

Premiers have more functions for setting up your sound.

 

the 80 costs more!

 

it costs more because its a better unit.

 

if the 8 has better features looks exactly the same with the same specs what makes it better? not being a jerk I jusdt need to know!

 

If you buy from an authorized dealer the Premier has a two year warranty. I suggest you look into the 860MP instead though. Its alot better. And it's just a little more expensive, but you get alot more.

 

The premiers are usually better... harder to find, and cost more..

almost no point in getting them, unless you're just one of those people who has to have the best (and you can find better than pioneer anyhow)

sometimes the screens will have slighty different configurations and button layouts are different, but not much really...

I have a non-premiere unit, and I still have:
Auto EQ
Auto TA
13-Band Graphic EQ
"BBE"-- Basically improves bass and treble from MP3's---this actually does make the music sound better, and all I listen to are mp3s so its helps--maybe not so much with regular cds


If you want the best of the best--- I believe Blaupunkt, and Clarion make some super-crazy-filled decks that are amp-less... those typically have much better sound output, and way cooler features.

 

well you could always try www.pioneerusa.com and compare the feature of the two...

 

Certain Premier models have 6.5V preouts versus 4V Pioneer preouts. Not bad for only a little more cash.

 

Id say go clarion or alpine....But then again I havent really experienced the head units your talking about either...

I wonder if preamp-out voltage is really everything... because my kenwood used to have 5volt output, and now my new one is 4 or 4.5 I think... I can't tell any difference in that regard.

 

well tahts only 1 or .5 v down my hu is 2v and if i upgrade i could go as high as 8( Eclipse headunit) but will prolly get 4 or 5 volt pioneer

 

I dunno, I think that the voltage isn't as big as a deal as everyone says... I had a deck with only 3v before and I can tell no difference accept with my 5volt deck I had to turn the gain all the way down to avoid hearing loss... that was the only difference.
