This Boom box is better than I expected. In 5 minutes after unboxing it, I had it up and running. I initially had the antenna placed in a southern window and could not get reception. As I moved it away from the window, coiling the long antenna wire up on the back of the boom box, reception came right in. It has 3 inserts to allow it to be used with several different head units. I then set it up at work and it is so clear and works great there too. The remote allows it to be placed out of the way and you can still change stations, volume, and all the other features. The tone is good. It has jacks to become an external speaker for an MP3 player or other device. With 8 c cells, it can be used where you can't plug it in. There are not any mechanical knobs for volume or channels, just spots that are sensitive to touch. I found that the volume was sensitive to touch where the double tap put it into mute by accident. That is my only complaint, but if you use the remote, this can be overlooked. The remote has allows use of featureds that are not available locally.Read full review
I decided to buy Sirius/XM radio to combat the frustrations of finding good radio/news on those cross country road trips. THEN, it was apparent to me that I needed to bring XM inside I arrived where ever i was staying for any period of time...and that's where this purchase came into play. This receiver is easy to use and produces a quality sound for such a little unit. The only drawback that one has to work around is finding a suitable location to "string" the antennae unit ( a 10 wire with a little antennae unit on the end.) I'm assuming that it needs a "line of sight" position (pointing into the sky) with the satellite that provides the feed. At home I've simply opened a window and run the wire outside and then closed the window. Then it's just a matter of finding a suitable place to put the antennae that will pick up a signal. So that's it. I'm pleased with this purchase. I mean, why leave the portable radio receiver in the car when you can simply detach it, bring it into the house and slip into the home receiving unit to let the fun continue !Read full review
I have had Sirius radio now going on six years and have never looked back. It is wonderful. I have a lifetime membership on my Tivoli system and internet radio. I recently added one for the car and bought a mobile unit. In doing so I decided to take the music out to the backyard, BBQ's, neighbors yard etc. I began looking for a comfortable unit to be portable, easy to use, functional and good looking. I pretty much went with the Sirius model SXABB1 to give me what I wanted. It is easy to transport, I can let other people check it out to sample Sirius channels and I dont worry about it taking a beating because of the price. I wanted to some times take out my Tivoli but moving it and the wires was not portable. The sound is more than ample for casual listening at most functions and everyone comments how nice it looks and sounds. It is far from some big ticket items, but for the purpose it was bought for, it is perfect. I still use internet when I am on the computer (headphones) I still use the Tivoli, I still use the car. But this unit gives me the ability to be more flexible in always having Sirius radio available, especially with the Nfl games coming. I did not purchase this unit for the battery option, which it has, so no comment on that. I like having a easily transportable item to move where I need to have it. It is easy to use and easy on the eyes and pocketbook. I would highly recommend the Sirius unit as a back up or spare unit. It never will replace my Tivoli, but it was not purchased to do so. It is a nice addition to my music system.Read full review

This is a good looking speaker dock, that fits comfortably in any setting -- living room, bedroom or office. The sound quality is excellent -- any audiophile would be happy with the quality of the sound . The remote makes it even more flexible, in that you can place it higher, out of the way. With the batteries installed, it becomes portable and even more versatile. It's a shame they aren't making them any more -- Thank God for E - Bay!!

My buddy loves his "new" Sirius XM satellite radio. The sound is terrific and with a little instruction, easy-to-use. He listens to music and baseball most of the time. Thanks for a perfect machine for him.

This Switching Power Supply is THE replacement part for the Sirius Radios SXABBI & SXABB2! I made the mistake of searching with the ITW Supply Part number S065BP1400340 and bought one from another company who's part claimed to be ITW Supply's part number. It did not match! the Male Connector was too long and did not go into the radio which made it useless. If you are looking for Part number S065BP1400340 made by ITW Supply look no further, this is the equal and save yourself the headache I just went through

The sound is fabulous. Easy to use; the remote is convenient adjunct. Looks nice with the futuristic colored display and sleek black shape. It isn't a alarm clock radio and doesn't have tone controls. Yet, this is a superb tabletop radio. Well worth the money.

I always love my Sirius radio in the car but now that I can also use it in the house I'm doubling my happiness. Just wish I had bought it earlier!!
