" ... Tried the Stratus 7 first but the sound quality was horrible. ... Onyx sound quality is much better and the nice color screen along with 20 presets vs the 10 on the Stratus makes it an easy decision especially for only about $20 more. ... "
" ... This item offers the most option for personalization and presets, has smooth touch and above all produces that unparalleled Sirius sound. ... "
" ... Sound is great when the satellite is in view. ... I'm sure there must be technological reasons they can't, but I'd like to hear all the punch lines to those great jokes I'm missing. ... I could hear the entire standup routine without interruption. ... "
" ... I am so glad that I can listen to what I want to listen to on the radio this is by far the best purchase I have made when I first hooked it up it just blew me away I had to have it I had to continue listening to the music that I grew up with it is amazing. ... "
" ... We hooked it up to his TV so he can listen through the TV speakers. ... "
" ... I want to like it because it sounds great (when it works). ... "
" ... Best Stereo for listening to SirusXM radio. ... "

" ... Antenna connection is disfigured. ... Always loosing signal, have to giggle wire to reconnect. ... "
" ... However it does not work in any of the spots/ rooms we wanted to place it in. ... "
" ... The unit stops recognizing the antenna. ... "
" ... Also, when it rains the wipers interfere with the signal. ... "

" ... Will not receive a signal no matter what. ... "
" ... Could not get a decent signal in most parts of the house, only got one in the very front part of the house nearest the south side. ... "
