JBL Celebrity 150

This car radio is a basic device.

After unpacking, you will find the radio in the cradle, with a plastic frame for finishing after the cradle has been installed.

You have to detach that frame first, which immediately resulted in the loss of a small tab, meaning the frame does not sit neatly connected after installation.

The radio itself is easy to operate, although it takes some getting used to the fact that the preset buttons are grouped around the large volume knob. These buttons have dual functions; in other modes, they control things like random play, repeat, etc.

The tuner is not the best. Because there is no RDS/AF function, you quickly lose contact with the strongest stations while on the road. It is impossible to correct this while driving. If you often drive in the same area, you will be less bothered by this. I usually listen to internet stations via my phone. Then you have the quality of DAB, and plenty of choice. The Bluetooth on this radio is perfect for this.

If you receive a phone call, the device handles it perfectly. You can record and have a good conversation. The person on the other end of the line can always hear me perfectly. You don't need to connect a separate microphone; it is built-in.

The USB and SD card options also work fine.

The sound is good enough for me, especially considering the price.
