Should I buy a Cheap Android Head Unit? – Part 2 – Ownice C500 Quadcore vs. Octacore

A few months ago I had the opportunity to review an Ownice C500 Quadcore Double Din Android 6 Head Unit from Gearbest. I’ve been running the unit in the family car for a few months now and overall have been very happy with it.

I reached out to Gearbest with a few small annoyances and they offered to send me the newer Octacore model to review and compare.

In this video I talk about my experience over the past few months, and compare the two units side by side including benchmarks, and also discuss sound quality.
