Great Boombox!!!! 
2008-10-07
This is actually the 2nd Belkin boombox I have purchased. I now have one at home and at the office. The sound is incredible and has great bass.
Where is my XM 2008-09-16
For the most part I haven't seen much of my Audio system since it arrived. Seems my wife has it most of the time and my office is still quiet. We have another XM product that I'm going to have to activate to put in the office I guess so I can listen to my favorite channels. The Belkin is a great portable platform for our Roady II.
Delphi XpressRC Receiver Works with Belkin F5X007 XM Audio System 2008-07-05
The Belkin and Amazon product descriptions were written before the Delphi XpressRC came to market, and have not been updated. I took a chance buying this combination, but the result is glorious! Clear full sound, and a bright color display displaying program details. The Belkin "boombox" is up to the company's usual high quality standards. I'm impressed with the sensitivity of the built-in antenna. I live in Baltimore City where there is a repeater XM signal. The Belkin boombox picks up everywhere inside my house, usually showing 3, and occasionally 2, bars. Walking around on City streets, and sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, it's almost always 3 bars. With batteries installed, the unit is nicely balanced; the big handle makes it easy to carry.
Lasted Three Months 
2008-06-09
On the positive side, this unit has surprisingly nice sound for a small boombox, not Bose, but richer than I expected.
The chief problem is that mine lasted under three months. Belkin is replacing it, but I have to pay shipping to return the defective unit. This radio has had a very easy life - it sits next to my desk. I took it home a couple times for the weekend, but found I seldom used it. So it's on when I am at work, off and unplugged the rest of the time. After ten weeks it stopped picking up any signal (the XM radio still works fine).
The controls on the Belkin are clunky, but functional. There is a remote, but I generally opened the unit to change stations, it was just easier. The antenna strength feature is nice, but if you need help deciding which way to face the radio to get a signal, you're in a poor spot and it's probably not worth the frustration.
If it had lasted longer I'd have given it three or four stars, but if yours does the same thing just outside of warranty, it's going to be a problem. Extended warranties are generally a rip-off, but for this unit I wish I'd gotten one, both for ease of return now, and because I'm afraid the replacement won't last, either.
Update - it cost fifteen dollars to send back the defective one, but the new one only took a week to arrive, so replacement was prompt.
Belkin XM Audio System 2008-05-23
The audio system is awesome. I purchased it for my husband to take to his fishing trip in Mexico. He was the only person on the fishing boat that had music, the signal was clear the entire trip. He takes it with him everywhere he goes. It is water proof and compact enough to take in a suitcase. I would definetely purchase another one on these systems.

XM Radio 
2008-02-09
This unit sucks the lifeout of batteries and after they reach a voltage of about 1.25 volts it stops firing which is speak for working. If you take the plug in reciever out of the unit the batteries will stay charged but the downfall is that once they do reach 1.25 volts the radio is again toast. God Bless , dave

Excellent item .. The Sound is outstanding.. It really is a Bass box! The bass is unreal and STRONG.. Great item for the cost..
Buyer Beware!!! 2007-09-30
It barely lasted 6 months - it didn't harm my Roady, but it the speakers quit working. We paid about $120 for it and of course it's out of warranty.
ruins the Roady 2007-09-10
I bought this thinking that I could use my XM radio in the car and outside the car, which worked great for the first month. However, what they do not tell you is that the cradle in the Belkin is not the right size and eventually ruins the connectors in the Roady to the extent that it no longer works. I wish I had known this before, as I had to have my Roady replaced. Belkin knows about the problem, as they provided me with an adaptor so the Roady would work in the Belkin portable, but that did no good for using it in the car. Delphi was great, as they replaced my Roady XT free of charge and said that they have had to do this numerous times for the same reason, and were recommending that no one use the Belkin. Now, I can no longer use the Belkin, and Belkin will not refund the money. Buyer Beware!!!
