Has anyone tried these super budget stereos from china?
Discussion
Just having a browse for a used head unit on eBay and stumbled across this:
I am sure it is a case of you get what you pay for but it has everything you would expect from a higher end unit, even Bluetooth and they are shipped straight from china for about £14 including delivery!!
At the very least I am thinking it would be good to put in a car if I am selling it and want to keep a decent head unit.
So, has anyone seen or heard one?
Reviews on Amazon are mixed to say the least ! Half of them say it is complete crap/doesn't work/broke after an hour and the other half think it is great.

I bought one.
To stick in a car I was selling, just to fill the hole.
Sound quality surprisingly good.
Would NOT store any settings and, yes, I do know the difference between ignition and battery lives
Less of a problem if you're just going to stream through it (or sell it!)
So I think it's a probably bit of a lottery.... I wouldn't buy one for a keeper...

Thanks, that is the impression I got from the reviews ( a bit of a lottery) To stick in a car I was selling, just to fill the hole.
