I have it and enjoy it. The antenna headphones are kind of ridiculous looking. You can record programs from a car-dock or home-dock and listen later. Reception indoors is very patchy and sometimes non-existant. Reception outdoors is pretty good without the bulky headphones even better with them. You don't have to wear them if you have the earplugs in but I keep the very unstylish antenna headphones attached for added reception. worth the pricetag? Only time will tell.wojo said:

My girlfriend bought it for me for Christmas last year because I've always been a big Howard Stern listener for years. I hardly listened to it because hardly ever catches signals. I always have to sit the receivers in a certain area on my computer desk in order to get something and it doesn't stay.
The portable receiver is very bulky, compared to the typical FM stereo/CD player walkman, that I often listen too while working. And since I always carry my walkmans in the inside pocket of my work vest, I can't get a signal.
Lately, I continued my subscription with Serius but I listen to Howard Stern online now.

My bad, I wasn't aware that they had another model receptor. I'll look more into it, although I doubt I can use it at work.

Looking at it as we speak, I have the receiver with an X Act battery pack, which has to be attached in order to listen to. And that's the problem. While the receiver itself can probably fit inside a regular shirt pocket, you almost need a small gym bag to carry the battery pack/antenna that attaches to it.wojo said:
Currently, I have to renew my subscription because I rarely listen to it, except online. But my girlfriend and I were considering buying the boombox attachment for home listening. I still thank my lady for thinking about me when she bought it for my Christmas present last year.

I have had Sirius and XM. I went through all the troubles with the Sirius and had it wired in the proper way and my Alpine head unit had the internal features. In my other car I went with XM and their Nexus 25 player. I just mounted the antennae on my front dashboard using velcro. The player can upload songs from the computer or record them from the sat and be used as a portable mp3 player.
There's not too much difference in stations or reception really. I'm sticking with the XM because of less hassle over the billing and the Nexus kicks ass.
