Sirius S50 Review
The good: The Sirius S50 sports a small, sleek design, and it automatically stores music content for later listening. You can also schedule recordings from both music and talk stations (with a firmware upgrade), save favorite songs, and link up to a PC to transfer MP3 and WMA tracks.
The bad: The Sirius S50 has some limitations, including the fact that you can't see the song list for recorded music or set favorite channels for recording. Also, scheduled recordings can't be longer than two hours, and the S50 is available only with a car kit. In addition, the Sirius S50's controls are difficult to master, the docks lack preset channel buttons, and the unit has poor battery life.
The bottom line: The Sirius S50 is a compact and attractive satellite radio player, but users must learn to live within its limitations. It's best for car commuters who occasionally want a portable unit. If you want live satellite streaming on the go, you'll need the Delphi MyFi XM2Go or Pioneer's Airware XM2Go, which work with XM satellite radio.
