MP3 player meets Satellite Radio
May 2nd, 2008 by Dax B
I am a big enthusiast of MP3 players and my Sirius satellite radio. I recently came across the Sirius Stilleto 2, it’s a MP3/Satellite radio player hybrid. Being a big fan of the diversity of music on satellite radio, this unit will allow you to listen to Sirius satellite radio using special antenna headphones which come with the unit. This is great for when you are out walking, running, doing yard work, etc.
It also will hold 100 hours of music, with the option of adding Micro SD cards to boost the capacity. There is also a home dock and vehicle kit so that you can listen to music where ever you are at. I have an iPod Nano currently, which I love, and Sirius ready car stereo. Considering that I listen to music just about anywhere that I go, this Stilleto player is a great idea for people who love to have lots of music at their fingertips. I also discovered that this unit also has built in Wi-Fi, so you can access Sirius through the Wi-Fi connection if you cant get the signal.
I was thoroughly impressed with the ease of use and sound quality from the Stiletto. And with the impending merger of XM and Sirius, that could lead to more selection of music and programming with the possibility of a lower subscription price.
Now, if only Apple would incorporate satellite radio into their iPods, then I truly would be in heaven!
