Sirius Stiletto 2 Portable Satellite Radio

There is supposed to be a satellite receiver in the top of the unit but you need an unrestricted field of view for it to work, my experience is you have to be stationary with it aimed at the satellite. I've been tempted to tear the headphones apart and get the receiver out of it and mount it in my helmet while I use my ear buds. .

Then again you could always glue this to the top of your helmet and be the envy of all the DJ dudes.:skep:


The Altec Lansing headphones were a real disappointment...that company used to make top quality stuff back when I was in HS and was a reason for me to purchase the unit to begin with. I may have been wrong on the microSD card size limit, it may be 8Gb not 4Gb...been awhile since I bought all this stuff. This is only used for MP3's, the 2 Gb internal memory is used for recorded Sirius songs up to 100 individual songs

The "Love" feature is sweeet though, wish it had more than 2Gb internal memory so it could hold more recorded Sirius music. BTW you would need a subscription for every separate head unit you use, they have to activated on the account.

I have had XM and Sirius in vehicles I rent, except for the channel numbers its the same shiite if you ask me.

I just got an iPod touch 32GB because of the XM skydock. Turns the touch into an XM receiver. I already have a subscription, and wanted a new receiver anyway, so it was a good deal.

Tag music you like, download on iTunes, keep going on the iPod for as long as you have space (I have 32 GB).

There seems to be some kind of difference in the hardware and programming. All the unfavorable app store reviews for the xm skydock app are from people who are sirius subscribers who can't use the skydock on their subscription.

On my xm subscription, I have to pay extra if I want any of the 'sirius' programming. I've been a customer for 5yrs now, so I don't really care about that stuff. I like what I already get. Having the offline library I have no available to me whenever is fine...don't need sat radio everywhere. There's another app that streams sat radio from wifi, and that works worlds better indoors than sat broadcasts, anyway. And since the two places I use satellite radio are in my car or in my office, the iPod touch works great. I guess the iPhone would expand usability farther, but I don't know how well it could download life music on the fly over the cell network?
