Sony’s been leading the field in audio electronics for almost six decades, and it’s not hard to see why. The Japanese company has been consistently turning out high quality, low cost electronics since their first transistor radios, a tradition they’ve continued with the Sony MEX-BT2600 CD Receiver. The Sony MEX-BT2600 CD Receiver is a commuter’s dream, and it’s a fast and simple way to pump up your sound system without having to put your bank account on a slow drain.

The system itself is easy to operate. You have an AM/FM radio with easy to program preset capability and a CD player that lets you play CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, which means no matter where your CD comes from you can listen to it when you’re on the road. Sony’s anti-skip technology and the fact that the Sony MEX-BT2600 CD Receiver is specifically designed to work with discs loaded with mp3 and WMA music files makes it possible to listen to your digital music without the skipping and stalling prevalent in other stereos.

Along with the CD player, the Sony MEX-BT2600 CD Receiver is Bluetooth compatible. Answer and disconnect your calls without having to touch your Bluetooth phone, letting you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes where they belong-on the road in front of you! The unit is also compatible with Sony’s iPod adapter, HD radio tuner and satellite radio, and there is a front auxiliary input that allows you to connect your DVD player, laptop or any other source of audio media to your car’s stereo system.

The only objections to the Sony MEX-BT2600 CD Receiver seem to be the mic accessibility for Bluetooth functions and occasional difficulties with the iPhone. Overall, complaints have been small. The Sony MEX-BT2600 CD Receiver is a great value, and an awesome addition to Sony’s lineup.
