Great Sound, Easy to Use, Extra Inputs September 7, 2008 This is a great sounding and excellent all-around product. It sounds stellar, even for its diminutive size and extraordinary thinness. There are extra inputs, two actually, for your other audio devices. Switching to these inputs is done by pressing the central selector button on the front. It's a snap. Volume control is digital but it works fine. Blue display is pleasing to the eye and not too bright. (One glitch is that the full-featured, well-designed remote doesn't seem to be compatible with my Sportster 5 radio. Using any button on the remote unintentionally changes the channels on radio.) If you have a Sirius radio, the Soloist is a top choice for a compact, home-based platform.

Good sound, docking station isn't great. August 18, 2008 The sound is great, however when adapting to use the Stiletto the cradle does not fit in quite right. It may be a flaw in manufacturering, as it appears it should screw in, but the holes don't line up properly. Once you get it set into place it connects and works fine however.
Great June 13, 2008 I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He's a gadget lover! He loves this system! We have both Sirius & an ipod. It works great with both. We had a small cookout w/ some friends & used the system w/ our sirius radio. It worked great. The sound quality is good & we don't have a problem picking up a signal anywhere in our house!
Good if you don't want to wake up. June 10, 2008 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
One of my main reasons for buying this stereo was for the ability to wake up to my ipod. However, it doesn't work half the time. The directions for wake up to the ipod or sirius are abysmal. They tell you how to program the stereo to wake up, but not what to do with your ipod/sirius. I have yet to be able to figure it out which has left me using my ol' phone on through out the night with the volume up. Given my family's penchant for being "morning people" and their love of communication, this means I wake up about an hour earlier than I would prefer everyday. But that's neither here nor there. Just be aware that if you don't care for the alarm then you'll like the product. Although it is difficult to get my ipod into the cradle. I had to take off the case I had on it.
Awesome! March 23, 2008 We love this! The sound quality is great. We bought it for our sirus radio, we don't have an Ipod so I don't know how it sounds with that. We haven't mounted the anntana yet, but we will. Love this product!
