Few of us imagine driving in a car without music. Someone just needs some melody to sound in the background or the radio to work, while someone pays great attention to the sound quality in order to get real pleasure from their favorite compositions.

High-quality sound is provided not only by acoustics, but also by the car radio (head unit). The choice of such devices is very large, and manufacturers present their products in a wide variety of price ranges. But, as practice proves, a high price is not necessarily a sign of good sound and reliability of a car radio. In most cases, the buyer overpays a significant amount just for the brand.

Review from Anatoly:

This car radio suits me for everyone. The only thing I ran into was the following problem: with prolonged use, problems with sound, wheezing and incomprehensible noises begin. As it turned out, the cooling radiator on the rear wall does not cope with its main task. And since the radio tape recorder is short, I solved the problem quite simply - added additional radiator... Now it works as it should. And as for the panel's departure - I take it off very rarely, so there was no such problem (this is the second radio tape recorder, on the first panel it was out of order precisely because of its frequent pulling out).

The top of the best car radios continues with a processor model from a manufacturer that produces high-quality audio and video equipment. The lineup includes several devices and one of the best is the JVC KD-X342BT. Why is this car radio included in the rating of the best?

The manufacturers of this model have done a good job to ensure that the radio tape recorder provides clear sound. For a deeper adjustment of the low frequencies, the Bass Boost function has been implemented. You can use the 3-band equalizer to customize the sound to your liking.

Review from Olga

I got this radio tape recorder a couple of weeks ago. At first I understood the buttons for a long time, but still figured it out, it turns out nothing complicated. The sound is very pleasant, clean and crisp, adjustable with a functional equalizer. There are no complaints about the sound quality at all. I used different flash drives, including 64 GB - it plays without problems, it easily searches for tracks in folders. Of the shortcomings - a small screen, but not critical, I think.

The three best sounding car radios in 2018 are opened by a model with really good sound. The developers have tried and implemented the output of crystal clear and surround sound based on MOSFET stages.

The device does not have a USB input, but it is equipped with an Aux jack, which allows you to play music from a phone or MP3 player, as well as a drive for playing CD-RW and CD / CD-R discs.

Car radio with stylish design will become a real decoration of your car, and amazing sound will make you get new, unforgettable sensations from your favorite tracks.

• High quality sound;
• The sound is muffled during an in-going call on the phone;
• Preamplifier output;
• Reliable and high-quality assembly;
• Stylish appearance;
• Good tuner.

• Lack of USB (not critical for many).

Review from Andrey

An excellent radio tape recorder, the sound is top notch. The main disadvantage is the lack of USB, but for me this is not scary, since I mainly use an mp3 player. You can play CD-R / RW discs, from which, I think, the sound quality becomes even higher. An excellent combination of price and quality, ideal for those who are not critical of the presence of USB, but rich and soft sound is important.

Before that I used three radio tape recorders from different manufacturers, and so it is this model that produces such a sound that I have not heard before.

There is support for Android. Radio reception is confident. In short, an ideal radio tape recorder for that kind of money.
