Customer Ratings & Reviews

Arrived with center channel DOA. What elements that are still working sound and look great. The return/ exchange process has been challenging to say the least. I still have no resolution from Bestbuy for my issue, now going through Pioneer for a fix. I'll update the review if i ever get this resolved.

Works perfect! Runs cool and Sounds great with Dirac Live built in. 100% satisfied.

I don’t regret buying this pioneer elite receiver it’s one of the best from pioneer it’s powerful deep bass with high treble with the midrange very clean sound

Have always bought pioneer elite receivers. This one is one of the best with 11.2 surround sound. Cant get much better than this

Excellent receiver. Lovely sound. Great 7.2.4 setup with Dirac and excellent applification.

Awesome receiver but lacking third height/ wide speaker connection.

Everything is good except for its ability to decode different codec. When you change apps frequently and its sound codec is different, sound wont come out at all or sound would stop after couple seconds before it finds better setting for the sound. Also that click sound when it finds setting for different codecs.

So good, better than any denon or marantz. Buy this avr right now

This pioneer receiver is a powerful I really recommend it

Love this receiver. The Dirac calibration is amazing.

This system puts out great sound. Ease of use. We love it!

Top flagship product at price range. Got it on a discounted day

One of the best options for the price. Grab it if you can

Thjs was an upgrade from my Pioneer Elite scl-701. Well worth the price.

The VSX-LX805 delivers an incredible performance. It sounds amazing after Dirac Live calibration with Dirac Live Bass Control.

I returned it after the Wi-Fi began cutting on and off. The sound was great initially. These issues coupled with Pioneer stopping their manufacturing along with the possibility of no warranty prompted me to return it. The BestBuy extended warranty cost over $300, but if you keep it, you need this warranty. There are lots of issues in AVS forum. It is worth the read prior to buying.

I bought this open box receiver for a great price! Thanx

Purchased this on sale, and when it failed after 4 months of usage, i took it back. BB deemed it was unrepairable even though it was under manufacturers warranty AND i was a Best Buy Total member. So given they couldnt fix it, the best they could or would do is offer an exchange for the new unit, but only if i covered the price of the now increased price. Best Buy Total is worthless in my opinion and be VERY careful buying anything on sale!!!!

The item was ordered on July 18th. Initial arival promised July 21st. It needs to be signed for. It requires taking time off from work. Then the item went into an unknown status. My Visa was charged July 22 when a shipping label was created. New delivery date, it will be received by August 5th. UPS still does not have the unit and back office only gives generic please wait responces. Today I was told a refund will be processed as the item is lost in transit. Could this possibly be anymore painful as a customer not getting answers to an item that you were charged for. I know BB is restructuring and closing stores. Is this an excuse to drop the ball and leave me in this situation. Confused shopper here.

Less than 2 months of using and major failure, unable to get out of diagnostic mode, unable to even factory reset. Paying hundreds to ship under warranty. First pioneer receiver and likely my last. Completely unacceptable and among all the receivers I've owned, some for 10+ yrs, this one crapped out way too early. Lots of good features and specs, but lots of money for what I think is junk. If pioneer makes it right, I'll update but will avoid and not recommend based on my experience.
