Posted Nov 28, 2007 - The features that the Dual XHD6425 offers is simply amazing. What other $150 head unit gives you built-in HD Radio, USB port, AUX input, remote control and the ability to add Bluetooth for $50? The XHD6425 is in a class of it's own. I have owned Aiwa, Alpine, Pioneer and Kenwood CD receivers in the past and the Dual is as nice as any of those. I had originally planned to buy a Kenwood but ran across the Dual on a message board. After researching the Dual, I found that it had all of the features that I wanted and some that I hadn't even considered (HD Radio & Bluetooth). I've only had the XHD6425 for two weeks but I'm very impressed with it. Here are the features that make this head unit great: 1) Remote control - I find it a necessity and a great safety feature 2) AUX input on the front - I hook up my XM Roady2 3) USB port - I don't have an iPod or MP3 player so I really wanted this feature 4) Bluetooth - Another great safety feature. You can't beat it for $50 5) The look of the unit has really grown on me. I didn't know how I'd like the blue lighting but it looks great. 6) HD Radio - Unfortunately I only have access to one HD station but it's amazing how much clearer it is than analog. Hearing really is believing. I look forward to driving through an area with AM HD so I can see how that compares. Wish list (I knew about these before I bought it though): 1) Mid range adjustment - I've had it on other head units and it's nice to have but not a necessity 2) Ability to change the lighting color - I've also had that on other head units and it's a cool feature. It doesn't seem like many companies are offering that any more though. I was hesitant to buy a Dual head unit at first because I didn't know much about them. After researching the unit and talking to a Crutchfield rep, I was sold. I figured that if Crutchfield was selling it, it was a quality product. I was right. I would recommend this head unit to anyone.
