Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The XAct XS025 Sirius satellite radio boombox turns your XAct XTR1 plug-and-play satellite receiver (sold separately) into a portable party machine. The unit's 4-inch full-range speakers (5 watts x 2) fill the room with up to 120 channels of music, sports, entertainment, or other Sirius satellite radio programming. Even better, the unit works almost anywhere. Just plug it into an available AC outlet, or add eight D-size batteries (not included) and haul it to the beach or the nearest tailgater. Wherever you go, the XS025 lets you enjoy your Sirius subscription with friends.

Additional features include an auxiliary line-level input for connecting your iPod or other audio source, an audio output that connects to a home stereo system, a stereo headphone jack for private listening, and a satellite radio antenna with a 19.75-foot cord. The boombox, which measures 17.75 by 7.38 by 6.25 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty.

Note: You must subscribe to Sirius satellite radio to receive the satellite radio signal.

Totally surprised. Solid, great sound for a boombox, antenna works great, signal comes in pretty much anywhere. Built-in FM transmitter means you can leave it on the windowsill and broadcast to your home stereo. Kicks a#% for its size and price. Power knob turns on radio and boombox at the same time (nice) and also functions as volume knob, glows blue in the dark. In/Out for my Ipod, awesome. Best of both worlds. You really don't need a home or a car kit with this boombox (because of its FM transmitter). Might look weird, but don't be put-off. Speakers also rotate for customized sound distribution.

The XACT XS025 boombox is a solid performer. It is not going to win any awards for sound quality or looks but it gets the job done and it does it well. If you want to bring your commercial free radio to a party, picnic or beach, this boombox will serve you well. I was surprised I was able to listen to satellite music inside my house. The blue lighted power/volume knob is kinda cool.

I like the fact that you can plug this boombox in or load it up with 700 D batteries (OK 8 D batteries - but it is pretty heavy). You can get about 4 or so hours of listening time with battery power. Good enough for a typical party. If you are going to an all-nighter, bring spares.

Pros - great reception, decent sound, AC/DC option, good battery listening time, cool volume light.

Cons - U-G-L-Y, heavy when loaded with batteries, clunky carrying handle.

I'm actually glad that my stereo speakers do not have the connection that is required to hook up my Sirius receiver; otherwise, I may not have bought this. The boom box makes it easy to listen to satellite radio anywhere - even outside. The reception is clear and the sound impressive. I also highly recommend satellite radio (Sirius, of course) - you'll never listen to terrestrial radio again.
