Pioneer MVH-S522BS vs MVH-S322BT - Stereo Battle!

[@25hztolife86]

Either deck. They are both really good and crank out above 4v and sometimes close to 5 amps.

[@garynumen13]

Sound quality is what I would like to know about. For me, that is THE deciding factor. Great info otherwise, thanks.

[@almartinelli5054]

i have the older version of the 522bs, i believe the model is 5200bts. i absolutely love the unit, it sounds good, has a ton of audio control and its fairly easy to use. Im old school so I still wanted the cd player but find that i use the front usb with a jump drive. it holds 2000 plus songs and never skips

[@TomFewchuk]

I have the MVH-S322BT and playing back youtube or any videos from my Google Pixel 9 Pro phone connected via bluetooth has a half second delay on the visuals on the phone. Unusable. Any help on a head unit that would give me lagless video playback? I assume it's something to do with the chip design, but weirdly my $25 amazon fm transmitter cigarette lighter bluetooth device plays back without any lag.

[@isaiahtussey6428]

So what do the numbers mean mason? You shouted out a ton of numbers and letters but didn't say if any of this was good or bad.

[@keithbenson9968]

To answer your question I think I prefer the 322. The only difference I would notice would be the color display and blue is fine with me. Thanks for doing this comparison it is helpful.

[@fernandoleanos8593]

Im my Opinion the 522bs wins of you building a more complex sound system It has the option to use the HU with 3 way/2 way active crossover vS the 322bt that is only a 2 way crossover and 1 pair less of RCA

[@jogalong]

Can somebody explain why 8903B audio analyser and amm1 show different wattages?

[@jonathans5318]

How does the mvh- s322bt compare to the mvh-s320bt? I really wanted the 322 but it was out stock and the 320 was available and the only difference I could find was the preout voltage was lower.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

That is the only difference.

[@jonathans5318]

Awesome thanks!

[@denimgenes5909]

I like think the cheaper S322bt looks way better in terms of button shape and layout. Too bad you cant customize colors!! Wish it had the extra pre-outs too!! Maybe wireless

[@furkankartal2416]

Pioneer's own amp outputs seem to be better than those of Sony and Kenwood. mvh series is a very good device for those who will not use extra amps.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

All the majors outputs are dead nuts on.

[@metricOIL]

Will the PAC Swi cp2 steering control work with this?

[@TheWalkerjrc]

Thanks for the video. I learned how to use my new radio the 322BT You are much better than the directions that came with the radio. You lost me at the wattage output and the technical stuff it was like I understood the words but seemed Greek to me. I am not technical inclined.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Glad it helped!

[@kaizen7852]

guys help !! why there is no treble option? only bass? how can i add more treble ? with this pioneer devices?

[@almartinelli5054]

there are no tone controls as in bass treble, there is a built in 13 band eq for adjustments and the app, if used, expands that to 31 bands. they cannot be used together so its one or the other depending on whether the radio is connected to the app via bluetooth

[@morticus7650]

I wish those prices were still the same. Now the S322 is the $100 option. 😲

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Everything has gone crazy

[@mikespering4122]

Can I play music/gmaps audio from the 3.5mm jack?

[@HifiRedneck]

Anybody ever run the rear channels to a sub? It’s in the manual, I’d be curious to see how that preforms (I’d be shocked to see 30 watts rms to a bridged rear channels but hey. It would be cool for a boom box OR a small build in a single cab s10 or similar)

[@almartinelli5054]

when i was 16, i had a small 4ch pioneer amp (25x4). it sounded surprisingly good with 2 channels crossed over high pass and 2 channels crossed over low pass and bridged to 50 x1. I have not tried it on the radio itself but i would imagine for low volume listening it would sound pretty good

[@HifiRedneck]

@ I have since experimented with it and it’s not bad. Definitely won’t knock your socks off but I ran an 18 on the bridged rear channels and it shook a couple of things in the barn 😂

[@MrCbell57]

Just what I've been looking for. Ecept your prices are way off. One unit shows its $557 and the other $149. I don't see any place to buy a mvhS533BS for less. Also what about one has 4 channel rca's and a sub rca, ,the other a two rca jacks. That has to be the difference in price right? Separating frequencies? Or no. I'm new so I wanted to know if I get the cheap unit if I can split the two channels into 6 channels? And still have it work. For a 6.1 set up. Thanks.

[@abelscaliber7969]

All the rcas give a full range signal. They are just designated subwoofer or front/rear so that you can use the radios crossovers. If you have an amp that you can set the crossovers if doesn’t matter which rcas you use. You can use splitters to run multiple channels if need be

[@MrRayden6]

Do they have 13band eq?

[@unabonger777]

The BT manual on the Pioneer site says it puts out 22 watts RMS per channel, not 14.

[@abelscaliber7969]

It’s 22rms But it’s 14rms Cea Certfied which is a standard of very low Distortion.

[@buchiokwuosa2205]

hi what's up bro please I need your help, I have a Honda pilot 2007 model that's comes with factory fitted car sound system, I want to change it to a new model radio, I have (JVC KW m 150 BT) so now I don't know the kind of Amp, subwoofer, Tweeter, etc, please help me, tell me what and what will I buy to make the sound perfect in this car please tell me I am in Africa I'm watching on KZbin, Facebook ,Instagram etc

[@telxcy430]

So does that mean if I have the s5 if I have a amp I can put it up to 62 or 50???? Please help

[@almartinelli5054]

according to his data, you should be able to max the volume without audible distortion. Based on the info here, these radios preamps have very little distortion. the radio amp is not as clean tho so i wouldnt be maxing out the volume without external amps

[@ImpalaJ]

Thanks for making this video I was looking for a good single din to use in my 94 impala now I don’t have to cut up my dash for a double din

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

No problem 👍

[@remainloyaltoyour0wnsoil580]

I remember I had bought this then the 420bt then now to 3500nex

[@eazyrat]

In your opinion whats the best stereo for less than 200? Or top 5? Thanks for your content

[@Mitrofanvlad]

I nought Alpine UTE 92 BT, I like it very much

[@eazyrat]

@@Mitrofanvlad thanks. Will check it

operations manual for the pioneer mvh-ms310bt

[@arissemendiola5054]

good video.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

It’s what we do

[@tomilaw7996]

Nice test,so to tune my amp 60 volume is ok for not distortion at rca and 50 volume at deck power???i have a new mvh s520bt is the same numbers please if you have time answer me because all your test systems is to expensive for us and we cant test it..sorry my english is not good

[@ashton9699]

Yes, on most decks, the speaker outputs will start distorting/clipping at a lower volume *when running a 4 ohm load* than the RCA preouts. If running a higher impedance load, say 8 ohm speakers, you'll be able to get a bit higher volume on the internal amplifier before clipping. This however is not common and most of the time when running speakers off the internal amplifier they'll be 4 ohms.

[@robertkallgren7462]

Does this receiver stay lit up when your car is powered off?

[@kristfur]

No wired playback? Why the hell not? That's a dumb downgrade. Also, the EQ is dumb, for fine tuning I should be able to pull down the bass or treble incrementally. I don't want to draw a EQ curve.

[@enginemanshawn]

If identical 100 bucks is for me!

Oh hell no I don't have no plugins out for this

Need to know where the hot and the yellow in the hot

😢

No 😅

[@1320MotorSportsBR]

both suck. they are ugly, sound is not eve close to the old school head units. No fun display. its sucks

[@IvanRossS]

Lol.. Who even use them this days 😒..

[@itsamadmadworld7524]

Who in the hell still uses single din? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@asherdie]

What the hell difference it make.

[@repairdrive]

Me! 😊

[@rishimakhanlal8905]

They are better than $300 double dins. If you use a backup camera you shouldn't be driving a car.

[@ashton9699]

Normal people who want a physical volume KNOB.

[@lukeskywalker1840]

I'm old school. I just like a radio with a normal volume knob and presets. I'm pulling the double din out of my car tomorrow. Replacing it with one of these
