Reviews of the Sony MEX-BT5000

CNET Review
The Good: The Sony MEX-BT5000 provides drivers with a stylish and easy-to-use interface for streaming wireless audio and making calls via Bluetooth, as well as a robust receiver for a range of digital audio playback. Integrated phone controls and the ability to copy cell-phone address books are also in its favor.
The Bad: The absence of an On button had us puzzled for a while, and the dislocation of the start- and end-call controls makes placing calls more cumbersome than it needs to be.
The Bottom Line: The Sony MEX-BT5000 is packed with useful entertainment and communications features, although it suffers from some fiddly controls. Advanced Bluetooth audio streaming may be its star feature, but its built-in sound optimization for digital audio playback means that it is more than a one-trick pony.
