Buyer's feedback: - * Love it ...
Now I can walk around and listen to Sirius and if i'm on the train with no service, I can listen to my downloaded mp3's. It's a great product. I've had a few problems with it freezing up.

Buyer's feedback: - Sirius Stiletto 2
The Sirius Stiletto 2 is portable like a cell phone and it brings satellite radio beyond the automobile and table radio. It keeps me abreast with live news programmes otherwise only available on cable television. I also get live NPR programmes that may not be carried by my local NPR-affiliate or is time delayed.

This product is highly recommended.

Buyer's feedback: - * Looks pretty, but doesn't deliver where it counts. ...
I've been reading all the reviews and I'm surprised no one has complained about what a shotty product this really is. Now granted, I abuse my electronics; however at a cost of $350 I expect something at least somewhat decent. The SL2 is a total ripoff. I like the old school headphones, so I'm not complaining about their comfort or bulkiness; I'm complaining that they STOPPED WORKING AFTER 3 WEEKS OF USE. I still use them as an antenna, but both speakers no longer work, so I'm forced to plug in a pair of earbuds, which only sometimes work. Now on to the battery issue. A full charge gets just about 4 hours of satellite play, not nearly enough. With my current job I spend 12-20 hours a day outdoors, and often can't get to an outlet to charge batteries for days at a time. This wouldn't bother me, except for the fact YOU CAN NOT BUY ADDITIONAL BATTERIES ANYWHERE (not even e-bay). Frankly, that sucks the big one. Bottom line -- the SL2 looks pretty and has lots of features, but it's too fragile for full on portable use, and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. Even though I bought the service plan, I'm going to return it ASAP and get my money back. Hopefully they can perfect the technology sooner rather than later, because I love satellite radio. If anyone from sirius is reading this, PLEASE make a unit that uses less power or accepts standard battery sizes. I don't care if looks sleek and weighs four ounces, if I wanted an IPOD I would have bought one.

Buyer's feedback: - Satisfaction with Product Depends on Receiption Quality
I live in the Atlanta metro area and purchased this product as a music source for my office located in a typlical 4 story 1990's office plaza. Forget the built-in receiver. Forget the home/outdoor receiver if you can't locate the receiving antenna outside - even using the signal repeater and placing the home/outdoor antenna in a window, I still can only get an intermittent satellite and/or terristeral signal. I can understand to some degree the satellite signal issue - if you don't have a window which allows the orientation of the antenna in the recommended direction for the part of the USA in which you reside - HOWEVER, I unfortunately believed a city the size of Atlanta would have sufficient terristeral transmission that I would have no issues with reception. Wrong!
