I have had many different sirius receivers over the years, (actually since conception of the satellite radio), and this is by far the best receiver made to date.

I had toSirius Stiletto SL10 Portable Satellite Radio Receiver

An excellent top of the line portable XM radio receiver.

It's bigger than an ipod, and heavier, but that's to be expected being a portable satellite receiver, and not a pure mp3 player.

We just set the receiver on the dashboard and it works perfectly.

The receiver headphones are bulky, the earpieces are fixed position and not that comfortable.

There is no doubt that the Stiletto is a really cool satellite receiver

Great receiver for any use.

If you are looking for a perfect satellite signal, you will not find it with this unit in most cases, but if you can tolerate limited dropouts then I highly recommend this portable satellite receiver

Tech Support did say that a small percentage do have defective receivers

If, however, you don't care about consistent portable reception, you want the best satellite receiver I've seen, AND you want to spend 3-4 times more for it than other devices that can capably be used in your home or car, then this might just be the radio for you.

I have read a number of negative reviews, and all I can say is that for my purposes this unit is perfect, far better than an I Pod and easy to use at home or in a vehicle.
