The Crutchfield Staff Review blog is all about having our employees share their real-world experiences with the items we sell, so customers can make informed decisions. But your experience with the gear is valuable, too.

Posting a product review at Crutchfield.com can help others find out important information about products. And — admit it — you’ve probably been influenced a time or two by the reviews and ratings yourself.

Customer reviews provide feedback for our merchandising team and our manufacturers. If you’re happy with a product we want to know what you like best about it. If you’re not happy then we want to know what displeased you.

Did you find a feature that you didn’t know about, or was there something that you thought the gear would do that it wouldn't? Having more info about the items we carry helps us make better choices about our product selection. And it provides a better shopping experience for all of our customers.

Take, for example, the Denon ASD-1R iPod control dock. Some people loved it, some hated it. Where it was a good or bad experience seemed to be based on what Denon receiver was used, and what the customer's expectation of remote control functionality was.

If you’ve purchased any electronics gear in the last six months or so, we’d love to have you post a review. Just go to the product page of any item you bought, and click on the review tab. Take a few minutes to write up a review, rate the item on a scale of one to five stars, and you’re done.

You’ll add to our collective body of knowledge about that product. And all of us here at Crutchfield — and your fellow customers — will be grateful you did.
