Customers regard the portable speaker dock's sound quality as great and are pleased with its portability and user-friendly design. The remote control and satellite radio features are also well-received. However, some users have concerns about the reception, battery life, weak signal, and volume.
My wife wanted to listen to her SiriusXm radio outside of the car. I found this to have a very nice sound, (I am a musician so I am picky), well built, and easy to use. On Battery power along it runs down a little fast, little over two hours, but it does carry a heavy load running the speakers and the radio. No difference in sound quality between running on batteries or being plugged into the wall. You are not going to get crystal clear sound of a live performance or a great home theater system but it is good enough to run as background music. I've not run screaming from the room in agony when my favorite classical pieces play. Portability is great, if you are going to run it indoors make sure you have a window with a southern exposure, you will not receive a signal with the antenna indoors.

It works great. Works exactly like it is supposed to. The remote makes it really easy to change channels or the volume. It's relatively small and east to transport to other places. It is also light weight. I have not used it with batteries yet. So, I have no idea what the battery life will be.

Decent speaker dock to be able to listen to satellite radio in the house. It is loud and has decent sound. Portability is nice. I would have liked to have had equalizer settings to change the sound, and even though it is portable, you still have to keep the antenna near a window to get signal. It is on a long cord but it is inconvenient to use. The pictures that show it being used indoors on a kitchen table in the living room aren't telling the whole truth. Satellite signal indoors is little to null and you need to get the unit near a window to use it.
