Reviews of the Sony CDX-GT420U

CNET Review
The Good: The CDX-GT420U offers drivers a decent range of audio options including a USB interface, support for digital audio discs, and a useful navigation feature for browsing large libraries.
The Bad: Audio quality leaves something to be desired, and the system's red and green neon backlighting is a bit gaudy for our tastes.
The Bottom Line: If you've got $130 and want a system that plays MP3s from a range of sources, the CDX-GT420U is a good bet. If you're looking for something visually or acoustically refined, look higher up on Sony's model lineup.
