Pros: Lightweight, Many Different Functions Available, Portability, Programming/Customization
Cons: None Yet! Will Update if I Have Problems!
Summary: To me, the Sirius Satellite Radio (SSR) S50 is the definition of functionality and beautiful design! With the constant boom in IPod-like devices, SSR has surpassed the standard when it comes to radio and portability! I’ve had SSR for about 5 months ... read more

Pros: Sirius channels, portability
Cons: freezes, deletes songs
Summary: I installed the S50 in my car in April. I fell in love with this gadget right away! Sirius has some pretty amazing channels. As far as receiving a consistent signal it works fairly well, although I found it impossible to record a song when I was going ... read more

Pros: Great service, Love the music and the stations
Cons: too much work, too hard to figure out playlists, not reliable, never has a signal
Summary: As soon as I found out about the S50 coming out last year, I nixed the iPod idea for Christmas and jumped into this. I should have waited until the product matured and Sirius smoothed out the kinks more, because this has not been what I call I glorious ... read more

Pros: Lightweight and very portable, connection/docking options, color LCD screen, media player functions
Cons: Budget quality construction, challenging to get signal reception (home kit), cumbersome menu navigation
Summary: Purchase through Set-up: I purchased the S50 about a month ago, at Best Buy. It was on sale with a manufacturer’s rebate ($50), so I felt it was a pretty good deal. This is my first foray into the world of satellite radio, and while I debated which ... read more

Pros: Excellent features
Gorgeous design
Intelligent functionality
Sirius has great content
Cons: Sirius DOES have commercials
Signal occasionally finicky on stormy days
Can't customize storage
Summary: I was worried about getting this since I read reviews on this site and a couple others and people tended to either love it or HATE it. I told my installer this and they promised that if I didn't like it, I could return it and they would de-install it ... read more

Pros: Very sleek, attractive unit. Recording radio is surprisingly handy.
Cons: Locks up constantly, ergonomics need work.
Summary: After anxiously awaiting my Sirius S50, I have spent the last 2 months getting familiar with it. It has also been my introduction to satellite radio. All in all, I love the programming but must admit, I'm disappointed with the technology (especially ... read more

Pros: Great look, great features, great combination package, good sound quality.
Cons: Slightly cumbersome at first, why no video with that screen?, no MP3 resume.
Summary: I have been quite happy with the unit. I received it for christmas and have been using it since. I love the look of the display, the quality of the audio and the range of music that Sirius gives. I have had one problem so far of the unit not ... read more

Pros: Stores MP3's.
Cons: Requires dock all the time.
Summary: All excited about this thing having an FM tuner and being able to load your own MP3's. Upon receiving it ALWAYS update the firmware. I guess these are quite buggy. Turns out the FM transmitter is only available while docked. WHY??? The whole point

Pros: Portability, size, sound quality, "music refresh" from broadcast
Cons: model is being closed out, replaced by Stiletto
Summary: I bought this player a couple of weeks ago an I love it! I also bought the home dock so it is easier to setup to record shows from Sirius radio. I've then listened to the shows on an airplane or while walking. Great portability! The sound quality is

Pros: portable, pause,Rewind,FF live music, mp3, can store favorite songs, records
Cons: Wires are a pain in the neck
Summary: Got this for Christmas and was a little overwhelmed at first because it is capable of so much. Once I figured it out I was glad I got it because I've really enjoyed it. The portable feature is great and the commercial free music is even

Pros: Supposed hard drive to record/pause programming.
Cons: Not user friendly. Hard drive not perfected.
Summary: This is my 2nd Sirius product. My Sportster broke after 2 years, so I guess that's not too bad. I then purchased the S-50 because it has a hard drive which allows you to record. Unfortunately the hard drive malfunctioned after only 4 months of regular

Pros: 40 hour record capability. Good customer support .
Cons: Way too complicated. Controls are hard to use, not intuitive. Changes channels too slowly.
Summary: As it's the only unit available that automatically records, I would have to recommend it. However it is very complicated to use. I can't figure out how to title the shows differently (if it's even possible), so every Stern show has the same name on the

Pros: Functional, easy to use
Cons: A childs rattle is quieter.
Summary: I had my Sirius S50 professionally installed. It works great in the car except for one problem. I rattles like a set of dice in a plastic cup. After some investigation, I found that the right side controls shake with any vibration. Clear packing tape

Pros: It looks cool - good in principle
Cons: It wasn't ready for launch, and you can't eat it for lunch
Summary: (5) A cantaloupe has easier instructions (4) Tastes better (3) Doesn't break down for at least 1 month (2) Costs $300 less! And the #1 reason . . . (1) When you toss it from your window after complete frustration, it makes better splatter marks.

Pros: Sleek, Sexy, Easy to Use.
Cons: Still working out a few issues. Nothing major.
Summary: I am very happy with my Sirius S50. There are a few things they need to add to make it perfect but with the ability to add firmware and software updates, I'm sure the ability to add bookmarks, etc, are not far off. The last update added the ability

Pros: small, lightweight, color screen, records live sirius radio, etc...
Cons: no fm modulator, no internal antenna
Summary: I have read many reviews about the S50, some good and some bad. Personally, I love it. When docked it picks up Sirius perfectly and when undocked it plays MP3's perfectly. Remember, it does not have an internal antenna so it must docked to receive

Pros: Small, great screen, lots of storage, save personal mp3/wav, good battery life.
Cons: A few bugs, pricey but not if you compare it to an ipod satelite.
Summary: This is a great little unit. Can be use like an ipod with your saved content. Can save songs with a touch of a button. It has some bugs but should be worked out in a short amount of time with firmware updates. I love this. I save a radio show in the
