Great addition to your Roady 2 
2006-07-15
I have a Roady 2 which was in the car, but now is mostly at home on a home conversion kit. But I hate cranking up the XM radio to hear it upstairs or when I am running all around the house.
This is a special headphone set with a built in XM antenna. As long as you are in range of the southern sky, where the XM satellite lives, you can pick up wonderful XM broadcasts.
The unit consists of a cassette that holds the Roady 2. It charges up a battery and you attach the special headphones that bring in the signal. The battery lasts in my use about 4-8 hours of continuous play.
The unit is a tad heavy compared to a cd player or tape player portable and a LOT heavier than a MP3 but you get your XM radio nearly anywhere.
Will not work in a shielded building or too far away from a window where you can get the satellite feed.
Metropolis vs. Smallville 2006-07-13
I have to say that my experience with XM Radio is mixed. I've had very positive experiences with reception [via Terrestrial Antenna] in Milwaukee, WI; I've also had a less positive experience with intermittent reception via SAT. at home here in Round Rock (Texas). I suspect that most people don't realize that there are two types of reception with the XM radio. If your 'city' has Terrestrial reception, then you will get great reception inside your building; in underground parking structures, and places like the mall(s). If you rely on Satellite, then reception depends on a clear shot of the southern sky.
I ordered the Roady2 (SA 10109) Personal Audio System For $19.00, so I don't think I had any outlandish expectations. I LOVE XM RADIO!!!
Excellent but don't expect indoor reception

I've read some of the other reviews of this product and I have to comment that XM radio reception with almost any device is difficult at best indoors. If you really want in home reception, get the home kit, install the antenna near a south facing window (or outdoors) and enjoy. This product is intended for one very specific way of using your XM radio - outdoors. For that purpose it is excellent if you don't have background noise (like a lawn mower) or a busy highway. I got my XM specifically for MLB and I take a walk every night and listen to the late games on the west coast. I've enjoyed more baseball than I have in many years, all thanks to this device. I like it so much that I am going to buy a second or possibly a third battery because I want to use it as long as I have my present XM receiver. Remember, this is intended for a very specific use, and for that purpose, it works well.
Great idea, poor product.........

I was offered this product for $130 off the regular price of $149. I thought what the hey, for $19.99 and free S&H I'd try it. The reception is poor outdoors unless you are in an open field with no trees or objects nearby. And the sound output level is also terrible. I bought it mostly to use while working in the yard, mowing and etc., but you can't hear the xm or fm output. I have also tried walking into the house with it on, and it just fades to no signal. I am very disappointed in this product. Again, I would not recommend this product to my worse enemy.
A good item 2005-05-04
I have found that this item works great in and outdoors. It is great for jogging or just walking around the house, however It does not get good reception in buses.
Avoid this item

With a rechargeable/replaceable battery, a custom-designed headset with built-in XM antenna, and an AC power adaptor, the Roady2 Personal Audio System gives you access to XM programming on-the-go.
Decent Product 2005-01-18
If you already have a Roady2 , and you're looking for a portable solution, you will like this product. It does everything it says it does. It is very heavy, though, and I wouldn't recommend it for jogging. I use it at my gym when I'm on the treadmill, and for this purpose it works well. If you haven't purchased a Roady2, you might as well get the Myfi. It's a lot more expensive but when you add up the cost of the Roady2 and the Delphi Personal Audio System, you'll end up spending the same amount of money. Overall, it's good but not great.
Heavy

Just a quick warning, this thing is heavy. The battery pack is a lot of weight. Go to the store and pick it up in your hands to feel for sure. For the price of this and the Roady2, you might as well get the portable unit to begin with.
