I purchased the product because I was tired of listening to all of the talk on broadcast radio, including PBS stations. I have been using the Inno now for about six months and I love it. The music sounds good ( I use a pair of small Bose speakers). I have recorded music that I especially like and have created a couple of playlists. The recording feature is especially appealing to me because I sometimes just want to listen to my own choices. I have found that when I use the antenna earphones (separate purchase), and hang them over my car rear view mirror, I can get great reception while driving. I plug it into a tape like divice which I then insert in my tape deck. The sound is as good as I get when I do the same thing with my Sansa MP3 player. The music selection on XM Radio is extensive( listen to any kind of music you like) and the Inno radio works perfectly. I listen about 3 hours a day at home and would hate to be without it.
Mostly good
Nice portable satellite radio receiver. I mostly use it when I'm vacationing overseas but will sometimes use it at home. There is static at times and signals sometimes go in and out when I'm bike riding but overall it's worth the purchase price.
Pioneer XM Satellite radio receiver
My purchase of this particular receiver was based on a recommendation given to me by a relative. He loved his and I bought mine on his recommendation. So far I have been quite happy with it. It is my first XM radio experience so I have nothing to judge it against. But it seems to me to do what it is supposed to do and it is simple to use. My only complaint is that it takes about ten seconds for it to power up and start playing. But that is probably normal aquiring the satellite, etc.
I'm happy with it.
SATISFIED
Read multiple conflicting reviews of this product before purchase and overall satisfied. I use exclusively in my home and get good reception without using the base station antennae or the antennae headphones (waste of money).
Audio quality and battery life are good. Unit heats up considerably after ~45 minutes of use. Controls are difficult to master -Stations are difficult to roam, change, and choose.
Defective merchant, not product
The main radio that was sent appears to be a REFURBISHED item, not a new radio. It's got scuffs all over it, glue patches where original manufacturer stickers had once been, the battery cover is loose, etc. etc.
It further appears that the seller tried to pass this off as a "bulk package" item (no box, etc.), claiming that this is what was ordered, when the listing doesn't mention anything about bulk items, and even carries a customer photo of the packaged box. Apparently a way to conceal its "refurbished" status? I dunno. But it's going back into the ziploc bag and envelope they sent it in. Quite a surprise for a seller that had an otherwise good reputation.
