AWESOME!!!
By J. Crenshaw
I was worried about how this thing would sound and perform. My first experience with a portable sat unit (a Sky-Fi, My-Fi)was lackluster for sure. I mean its a portable satellite radio unit so my expectations were forgiving. Man o man, this thing is great! Sound quality, specifically bass response is mind blowing. I would go so far as to say it would rival the sound docks from Bose. Getting a strong sat signal can be tricky at times. It takes a little bit of practice and knowing your cardinal directions (XM recommends aiming the antenna south) but surprisingly for the most part you can just point it at the sky and rock on. I have on occasion been able to set it on the kitchen counter and aim the antenna southward and it work just fine inside the house!

Now for the downside. And there is only one. Battery life does seem a bit short. But in its defense it does have to power the unit in addition to the internal amp for the speakers, and I was not using a high quality set of batteries. But even so I would not expect it to last a super long time. It does sort of stink that it needs (8) D cell batteries, but with a good set or rechargeable batteries I expect it should last a while loner. Hey you got to pay to play right? I plan to try it soon with the good rechargeable batteries I have and update this review.

Side note: I did have one issue while using the unit. It was an isolated incident but the volume would cut out and the lights around the volume knob would flash randomly. It only happened once and I use this thing 3+ days a week, also since I cannot replicate the problem I would not say it is an issue, just wanted to point it out.

Excellent Sound and Great Portability
By Heather
I love the sound and the ablitly to plug in an ipod and headphones. The styling is sleek without buttons or knobs. The antenna cord can wrap neatly into the back and the antenna stows on the back also. We have the dock infront of a window and it works great until someone sits down next to it (not infront of the window) then it cuts in and out so that is why I didn't give it all five stars. I'm not sure if this is caused by the dock/antenna or the receiver. Now we can use our XM Onyx radio in the car and in the house or outside. I was a little reluctant because of the price but the sound quality was worth it. I wish we would have purchased it a long time ago.

Just What I Wanted
By L. B. Lear
I only received my portable speaker dock today for my xm satellite radio and it is just what I wanted. I've had my home xm satellite radio for about 18 months and play it through a speaker system that is not something that can be easily moved and must be plugged in.

We built a new deck on the back of our home last year and needed music for entertaining, working, and relaxing outside, but we will use in inside as well. This speaker dock fits our needs perfectly. It's compact and light enough to be easily moved around, and has a very long satellite receiver cord, making it flexible for placement and receiving a strong signal. Set-up was quick and easy.

The sound is rich and full-bodied though there is no equalizer or bass/treble controls... they aren't needed. I listened to Bluegrass, Jazz, Blues, Rock, and New Age music and it all sounds excellent "as is". Also, the sound is crisp and clear with no distortion when listening at high volume. I have found nothing about it that I don't like. I highly recommend this product.
