Amazon.com Product Description If you're serious about keeping your music with you at all times, the Sirius S50 Satellite Radio Receiver and MP3/WMA Player System Pack may be just what you're looking for. Small enough for your shirt pocket, and loaded with all the accessories you need to play it over your car stereo, the Sirius S50 offers an intoxicating blend of satellite radio and digital music capabilities that are certain to transform your portable listening experience. Use the optional home dock to route Sirius radio to your home stereo. View larger. Load up tunes from your computer via bundled software. View larger. Your satellite programming. Your MP3/WMA digital music files. Take them all on the go with the S50. For starters, when the Sirius S50 is set up in your car, or in the optional home docking station (sold separately), it's ready to capture more than 120 channels of Sirius satellite radio programming. But don't feel intimidated by the scale of all that programming; the Sirius S50 has several automatic and one-touch features that will help you get the most out of your satellite-radio experience in no time flat. Game alerts automatically prompt you when your favorite teams are playing, and a sports ticker gives you up-to-the-minute scores throughout the day. The unit's 30 channel presets offer one-touch navigation to your favorite Sirius stations as well as to Sirius traffic and weather reports. The Sirius S50 also boasts an internal memory that can store up to 50 hours of digital content, either from your favorite satellite programming. With a simple push of the unit's easy-to-spot heart-shaped "love" button, you can save the Sirius program you're listening to for future playback. So when it's time to work out, or when the beach is calling, just slip on the earphones and enjoy the commercial-free programming and music files of your choice. (A belt clip for the player is included in the kit.) Note that while live satellite radio content is available when you're in your car or at home--using either the included car cradle or the optional home cradle--it is not available when the S50 is in portable mode. You'll also get the accessories you'll need to play the Sirius S50 over your car stereo -- a cradle that allows the unit to receive live Sirius broadcasts, a car mount, a DC power adapter, a remote control, and a roof-mount antenna. The car cradle's media dial makes it super easy for you to surf through 120 channels of Sirius programming, and a voice-assisted navigation announces the name of the channel you've just tuned into, so you can find your favorite channels without taking your eyes off the road. The unit's built-in wireless FM transmitter "broadcasts" the sound over an unused frequency on any FM stereo, so there's no complicated installation process. And if your in-dash stereo has an auxiliary input, you can connect the Sirius S50 directly to it for even better sound. The unit's bright 176 x 220 TFT color display makes it easy to read programming data and sports scores. And at a mere 1.9 x .9 x 3.9 inches (WxHxD), and with rechargeable batteries that will give you six hours of play per charge, the Sirius S50 is ready to go wherever you take it. Note: Sirius Satellite radio programs require a subscription that's sold separately. What's in the Box S50 satellite radio, AC adapter, cigarette lighter power adapter, car antenna, car mount, earbuds, remote control, USB cable, belt clip, and PC software.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 128 of 137 people found this review helpful. Siriusly cool, but somewhat disappointed by R. Winter I waited three months out of the S50. I finally found one and had professionally installed in my car. I like that the S50 can do, and I am very pleased overall, but I have some problems with the S50. First the good things. This is a great design with impressive LCD. The station, artist and song are still visible. None of the things scrolling. The base has a rotating information to change channels, press replay songs to play a song you want and take up a lot of other options. Very cool. The removable disk light is about as large as 2 / 3 of a card game. With this device you can remove it from your car, plug the headphones and play your downloaded MP3 and recorded Sirius content. The battery should last about six hours. I have not emptied. Automatic charging when docked in the base unit also automatically download music from the three most listened to stations ... brilliant. Also, if you like a song you're listening to, simply press the knob, and the song was recorded on the laptop running for you ... awesome! Also, if you like a song you just heard, you can click a button and play again. You can then go directly to the game or continue to hear the current track. You can also pause and resume the transfer without problems. As you dial to change channels, a voice tells you which channel is selected, which is a cool feature if you want to continue watching the road. I love the music selection that is available for my taste (or thing). Some stations are lame, all Elvis channel or all channels Bruce Springsteen Tine for example, but it is a matter of taste. Additionally, there are plenty to choose from, whatever your taste in music. And now the bad things. 1) I was disappointed with the sound quality I would describe as somewhere between good-quality FM and AM radio. Voices often sound like they speak or sing into a can. I thought it might have been FM transmitter in the device, but when I play MP3 in the car through the system, they sound good, so I think it is not enough bandwidth in the broadcasts. 2) The portable device does not have an equalizer setting. You can not adjust bass or treble, which have even the cheapest MP3 player. It was a bad oversight on their part. 3) My biggest problem is that the removable device sometimes vibrate loose, causing a loss in transmission. This is very annoying, but I'm used to open up to my unit from time to time to prevent it. I think it's part of the problem that my unit was installed so that it lies in a flat position. Maybe I need to get it changed, despite the fact that I, as it is currently placed in love. Sirius should, however, that the unit locks are designed, if you lose the signal (not the unit coming loose), the voice prompt to switch to the downloaded content, which can easily be done. UPDATE: I had the device installed, so not flat, there is no problem now with it slipping off. I am also very happy with the S50. If you are aware of the issue of sound quality, I would certainly recommend the unit. 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful. Great idea, very poor execution. Anthony first let me say that I now see the S50 as a prototype. I think they rushed to market the product is not available at the time that Stern started broadcasting have. The fact that none of the accessories (including the home dock) are still available shows that this product was rushed. The bugs and missing features, even in a quickie release. Wait a few months and you will probably lose significant, greater reliability and additional resources.
