Bought this item to go with a Sirius Sportster 5. Easy to use. Sound is good. I have used it in the car while traveling as well as inside my house. Works well as long as the antenna is positioned near a window or on the dash. (Antenna cable has plenty of length.) This product has met my expectations/needs.

Apart from the limitations inherent in satellite radio (signal strength and antenna placement) this is a good little boom box. Easily portable, light in weight, and visually not too clunky looking. The sound is very good. I've not tried it with batteries yet, so I can't speak to the duration of operation on batteries alone. Ideally, the box would have a longer power cord. In all, a good addition to my home electronics.

The price was better on Amazon. I bought for my Sirus so that I would be able to get maximum use of my subscription. Great sound, great reception, couldn't be easier to use.

I am a sound snob, and I really like this unit for the price. Keep in mind that it's not a high end unit, and you can't adjust the bass or treble. But for around $100 it's great.

Also, it's nice to be able to connect an I Pod or Sirius receiver. For those who complain about the antena, relax. All Sirius antenas need to be place optimally for good reception. read the owner's manual and figure it out.

I wish I bought this sooner.

This plug and play radio was easy to set up, the cord for the antenna is long enough to reach any window area and plays a nice rich consistent sound. If you want to be able to listen to your radio outside your car, and have the options to adjust bass and treble, invest in a higher priced model. If you want to get more use out of your subscription without breaking the budget, this is an excellent way to do it.

We bought this item specifically to use in the yard for BBqs etc. For that it works great goes very loud clear and good reception. We live in Satetn Island and getting reception in the house for anything is difficult (Including cell phones)so it is what i expected.

Purchased for my wife for Mother's day. She loves her sirius radio and has the car and home docks. She wanted portability for beach, out door fun etc. and is excited about this system. Good quality and the antenna (similar to the home dock) works well has a cord storage system and was picking up from the inside of the breakfast nook through the sliding doors.

I have a Starmate 5 portable plug-n-play Sirius receiver, and I have docking stations for the home, car, and boat. I bought this "boom-box" so that I could take the receiver to the beach, on a picnic, and so on.

The nice thing about a portable receiver such as the Starmate 5 is you take the license with you, so you do not have to purchase a subscription for each location (home, car, boat, beach) you want to take it.

The boom box works great as an addition to the "system".

The boom box also has a 3.5mm phono jack for an auxilliary input, so I can also use an iPod as well. The unit will set you back a few dollars when purchasing batteries, but they seem to last for awhile. And you can use an AC adapter, which keeps battery draw down, and is typically used at the backyard barbecue.

The antenna holder could be a bit better though, which is why I gave it a 4 rather than a 5. It simply sits on the unit by friction fit. The holder also interferes with the main handle of the unit as well. I would have liked to see a permanently installed antenna (with provisions to rotate it), rather than what is used.

Now I can enjoy my satellite radio all the time and I'm loving it. Audiovox Sirius Subx2 is a great buy; very easy to use, just took it out of the box, attached my satellite radio and started enjoying in my music in my home. Simple to pop the receiver in and out of the boom box and back to my car. Can't wait to bring this system with me on vacation to the beach so we can enjoy music while enjoying the beach as well. Great purchase!

The first one I ordered was preowned,like new and did not work.Amazon refunded everything so Big Kudos here for taking care of consumers.I then purchased (for 10 bucks more)a brand new unit.Being this was a birthday present for my other half I only checked if it powered up properly and not the sound.All was well and when I gave it to her and connected her Sportster5 to it we were extremely surprised by the depth of the sound which is helped by the subwoofer.We enjoyed an evening of Margaritaville which has a nice mix of music to judge the quality of this piece.The sound is amazing and it is pleasant to look at.As for ease of operation:we did not even have to run the antenna anywhere,just left it on the cradle on the back and had fantastic reception.Mind you we live downtown Miami 15th floor surrounded by higher buildings that should block the signal,but no problems here as other people have complained about this before.
