It is very user friendly and the reception is very good

The other negative is the bad portable reception, unless you wear the painful headphones included with a satellite antenna on the top of the arch.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and haven't been able to get a consistent reception for a couple weeks.

and I'm having difficulty locating a place where that gets reliable reception.

I switched to a cassette adapter and got much better reception, but that was a minor inconvenience compared to everything else

This is a nice feature, but to use it, you'll need to find a spot with good, uninterrupted reception and leave it there.

Good reception.

There are frequent places along the lakefront where I cannot get consistent reception (I use it during my AM jogs) however, these are very short

so I can't vouch for comfort, but reception was perfect when I tested them out

The reception on this sucks, it is REALLY bad

Unfortunately I cannot get a clear reception while working out in the gym, but that's where the "radio replays" function comes in.

The Good:-The reception in big cities is great.

Once I got it registered with Sirius, and found out the reception was so horrible, I figured I'd use the built-in WiFi

Gets really crappy reception...great for somebody who likes to only hear every other second of a song

The reception is horrible.

Maybe after the merger with XM who has fantastic reception but worthless programming, Sirius will really shine.

The portable headphones have lousy reception, as in I'm traveling down a highway with blue skies above me and poor reception with the portable antenna because there are trees 200 feet from the road

Reception is awful, even with the headphone antenna.

Although my Sirius car unit does get quality reception in these areas, two thumbs down for the new Stiletto unit because of its POOR reception.

Otherwise you can forget getting a decent reception inside your house or office

I link the concept of this device; however, where I live, the reception isn't that great, so the music is always dropping out

The reception has not been an issue even without the headphone antenae

Of course, for the best portable reception Sirius will tell you to use the included antenna headphones

Gets really crappy reception...great for somebody who likes to only hear every other second of a song

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.

The satellite signal will only be so strong and there is only so much they can do to improve reception.

Indoor reception is impossible.

Obviously, unless you've got complete Wi-Fi coverage over your entire home with no dead spots, you're going to lose reception with the Stiletto as you move about.

I bought the car set and th improved reception and ease of tuning is impressive

We have a Starmate in our other vehicle and when tuned to 87.9 it gets excellent reception.

Good quality radio reception and easy to operate.

It is portable but has weak reception!

I told my friend about this item and he suggsted that I wrap my stiletto in aluminum foil so that I can get better reception.

The reception is great.

Reasonable reception while using it in the portable mode.

The other negative is the bad portable reception, unless you wear the painful headphones included with a satellite antenna on the top of the arch.

As a daily commuter from the Wilmington, DE to Philadelphia, PA area I experienced very POOR reception on my entire trip.

Curiously, I had the best reception on some tree-lined streets, but I suspect that's just because I was closer to the repeaters

After reading the manual, it turns out that it gets horrible reception unless you are wearing the antenna headset that comes with it

It is an AWESOME product - it is very easy to use, we have wonderful reception, the SIRIUS stations are great, and we couldn't be happier.

It is very difficult to get decent reception without purchasing either the home kit or the car kit.2.

I had to put the antenna on the roof for all three bars in any weather condition (which, if you can do it, do it because youll NEVER loose reception).

Pros: Sleek design, potential sound qualityCons: Reception!!

Wi-Fi connections are marginal and satellite reception is almost impossible

If you're willing to listen to recorded programming (and spending $40 for the home kit so that you get good enough reception to record them), this is a great music player.

The reception is awesome with an FM repeater nearby, and with the car antenna on the dashboard, I get excellent satellite reception

Curiously, I had the best reception on some tree-lined streets, but I suspect that's just because I was closer to the repeaters

The sound quality is amazing, reception is great and wi-fi reception is perfect throughout the house.

When I am in an area where there's good reception, I am very happy with this product.

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.
