With the release of the Stiletto 2, Sirius ushers in the next personal music player revolution.

This handheld receiver offers users up to 100 hours of internal storage of live satellite program and music feeds. It also can handle MP3 and WMA files, enabling you to mix Sirius content with your own personal music collection. When coupled with an optional vehicle or home docking kit, you can broadcast both Sirius radio and digital audio files over any FM stereo via the built-in transmitter (adapter required).

The sleek and stylish Stiletto 2 can play both Sirius broadcasts and MP3s. View larger.

The enhanced Wi-Fi capability of the Stiletto 2 permits access to standard Sirius Internet Radio (SIR) or, for an additional subscription charge, SIR’s premium audio quality offering. SIR gives subscribers access to more than 80 channels of Sirius Satellite Radio content on the Internet, including Howard Stern's two channels, Martha Stewart Living Radio, Sirius OutQ, and commercial-free music programming. Sirius also selected Altec Lansing to develop the new antenna headphones for the Stiletto 2. Featuring large 30-mm drivers for full-spectrum acoustics and an adjustable headband for increased user comfort, the new Altec Lansing antenna headphones can deliver hours of listening enjoyment in absolute comfort and crystal clear audio clarity.

Other features of the Stiletto 2 include a brilliant 2.2-inch color display, a handy media dial, and a six-way navigation control that provides easy one-handed access to all features and content. Thrown in for added convenience are Sirius Replay, which allows users to pause, rewind, and replay up to 60 minutes of live radio programming; Game Alert, which allows listeners to track favorite sports team and drive broadcasts and alerts when scores change; and Game Zone, which provides a listing of the user's favorite teams in one virtual category. Parents also have control over usable channels with the parental channel lockout feature. Measuring 1.9 x 4.3 x 0.6 inches, the Stiletto 2 weighs in at a scant 4.3 ounces.

Rating: - * On my forth Stiletto 2 with no end in sight ...
Between the quality of the product and their misinformed technical support, I am sorry I spent my money on this product. Constant signal strength issues, CMOS battery issues, requires rebooting (is this a Windows product?) and to top it all off. This is my 4th unit in about 8 months. I only just received the 4th one, which was sent without a necessary firmware upgrade. I think their staff is better trained at feeding angry customers with lies than with actually addressing issues with their product.

Rating: - * Move over Ipod ...
I got this for my husband as a gift and we both love it! I was weary about signal strength from reading online reviews but it has worked great!! We have had no problems at all. i would give it five stars but it is not compatible with itunes and I had to convert all the songs to MP3 to play them in it.

Rating: - * Awesome ...
Bought this for wife for last XMas. Took her a little while to really get into it but she really loves it now. Installed car kit which really makes it handy, it's never low on charge since she uses it almost daily on 45 minute drives to work and back. I use it sometimes also, as do the kids, we all like it a lot. The wifi comes in handy, quite a few places (like some gyms, coffee shops, etc) where we'd have to listed to pre-recorded stuff because sat-reception isn't possible but can still get Sirius via internet. Wife also uses recording features a lot, she really likes that aspect as well. I haven't even used the memory yet, doesn't seem like that much of a point. I have thousands of MP3's but there is just SO much available on Sirius that it just doesn't seem necessary. I would like it if the player was compatible with audiblebooks.com but hopefully it's just a matter of time. The headphone/antenna is fine with me though I think most people wouldn't like wearing them, but if you're in wi-fi range you can just connect that way anyway and stick with the earphones. Bottom line is that it's a bit of work to get the car kit (or whatever accessories) installed and figured out, along with figuring out all of the players features, but once that's out of the way life is much better!

Rating: - * Not Good For the Gym (or inside)... ...
It's a great product and service - everything you read about it, it dose and makes it a pretty cool set up. BUT the bottom line is - if your looking for a Portable wear on your arm device, like to go to the gym with (in my opinion) DON'T BOTHER. Even with the proprietary headphones (because of the built in antenna) reception was HORRIBLE. Let alone the (included) regular "jax" for regular headphones (which it dose have) absolutely DEAD IN THE WATER in that case.... So in closing - only using it strictly outside does it get good reception - but then again, that's with it's proprietary headphones... So hopefully developments in the future will have prospects but for me now it gets a thumbs down.
