Overall Rating

Worked as advertised for me
First off, I am going to be a little more forgiving of this item because I was able to purchase it for $39.00 on closeout.

For the price I paid this unit is outstanding. I have not ran into the problems of getting the Roady in and out that others have experienced. It seems to be a fairly easy process of pressing in on two latches and pulling the case apart. I was very concerned after reading the reviews here that this would be an issue. But I have been able to get the Roady out each and ever time in a few seconds. The Roady does fit snuggly inside the case but I would rather have this than the Roady falling out in my hand.

The case could be made of a little more sturdy plastic, but this would also add to the weight. The case and Roady together weigh about as much a portable CD player. Most of the weight can be attributed to the battery.

As far as reception goes I have been able to get a strong signal short of standing in a six foot hole. I purchased the portable player because I have several hundred acres of land to attend to, and it helps me keep my sanity. I have not ran into an area where the signal drops out on me as of this time.

The headset is not exactly top of the line….but what are you to do? You can’t exactly buy a set of Bose headphones and tear the antenna out of included set. So….your stuck for the moment with what comes with in the package.

For the price I paid I can’t complain other than the headset. I personaly have not ran into the problems of getting the Roady out of the case to put in my car. The reception is great I can get a signal when my friend with a XM2Go can’t.

Its a nice setup but not for $120.00 or so dollars…if it can be found for under 50.00 get it…..you wont regret it.
