User Reviews for Sirius S50 Satellite Radio/MP3 Player (Internal Hard Drive, 6 Hours)

Reviewed by: Proxcause

Duration of ownership: 10 Months

Strengths: This unit has been disappointing. While I have been a Sirius listener from the beginning, this is the first unit I have direct from Sirius. Frankly I am concerned that Sirius is growning like topsy with poor attention to detail in sale and support of Sirius Branded Equipment. When I purchased this unit there were problems that required an upgrade in firmware. My original unit fried like other reviewers have described. It took months to obtain a replacement. I have both the docking station for the car and the home stand. Now that a true portable model is out, in less then 12 months that truly does what this unit was represented to do, I feel a bit ripped off. This unit (SR50) came to market too fast without enough testing. I certainly recommend that sirius purchasers take a wait and see attitude before rushing to buy new Sirius branded equipment over the larger less expensive units which are stable war horses.

Weaknesses: read above

Overall Evaluation: Too quirky, too fragile, poor customer support. Sirius brought this unit to market without enough pre-sale bench testing. But I love Howard.

Strengths: Record songs with a click of a buttonGreat programming

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: The programming on Sirius is generally good, and the S50 lets you save good songs just by hitting a button - saves the artist and song title into a list so after you save a few it's like an mp3 player, too. I mostly use this to listen to Howard Stern. I debated spending this much on a radio but I think it's worth it to have the record function, and the Sirius subscription fee is definitely worth it, too.
