Alpine CDE-110E Product Review

The Alpine CDE-110E is the latest entry level Head-Unit in the Alpine line up, he new CDE-110E is the replacement of Alpine’s CDE-100EUB

This new version will continue to have all the features of the CDE-100EUB such as front USB & AUX input, along with full MP3/WMA music file playback for all your digital media playback

The display has blue illuminated buttons, and a 1-Line LCD display for select CD text. The simplicity of Alpines display is something I’ve always liked as there is nothing worse than a cluttered display. In different words Alpine has always been function over form and I am sure all the Alpine fans out there will agree with that too!

 

The sound quality of the CDE-110E was surprisingly nice but this is something that is to be expected from Alpine though, just keep in mind this is a entry level unit with Pre-Set EQ modes (Flat/Rock/Pop/Vocal/Jazz/Club) and a Treble and Bass control.
