Digital camera reviews of Delphi Premium Sound System for SkyFi3, Roady XT, MyFi, and Audiovox Xpress
Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
Lets just say that I was extremely impressed with the audio from this thing. I mean its small but the bass hits hard on the chest and the audio doesnt crack when you turn it up. XM sounds great on it but sound quality depends on your location so some people get better quality than others. Great product if your having a back yard party or something small in the house. Got a lot of compliments for its sound and looks.Digital camera Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this boombox! It is great at home or on the road. We used to plug in our Roady, but not use it to plug in the Ipod! It is versatile, nice looking, travels well and plays nice sound, too!Digital camera Review: Nice sounding and nice looking product
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this unit over the Thanksgiving weekend and really like it. It has a very nice, clean sound and is very easy to operate using the SkyFi3 since all functions work through the SkyFi3's remote. My only minor complaint is that when you dock the receiver the volume comes on at a predetermined level, but it's not a big deal. The system looks very nice and has a great sound -- I would highly recommend it. With respect to a previous review, if you want BIG sound for a party or to resonate throughout your house, you'd probably just want the home kit for your receiver and feed it though your home stereo. But for a nice roomfull (or even a couple of roomfulls) of sound, this does a great job.Digital camera Review: Premium? Don't think so.
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted to be able to listen to XM radio both in my car and in my home office and avoid the performance hit of running something like Napster on my computer when doing memory-intensive stuff on my system so these speakers looked like a good alternative. The size footprint is very reasonable. A variety of inserts are available for your radio, I use the SkyFi3. First, getting the antennae aimed was quite a challenge. It is *very* particular at least in my house and it doesn't really seem to have much to do with aiming at a window or south, etc. I just had to find the exact spot in the middle of the room where it found a signal...and then not move or turn it even an inch. When I later decided to move the speakers and have to reposition the antennae it again took me a long time to find the precise spot where it found a signal. At least once it found it though, it seems to do okay.
Sound quality I find to be only adequate. It's not "premium" by any means, just not very full and basically sounds like radio-quality. I couldn't imagine trying to crank up the volume and use it for a party for instance. The speakers have limited sound adjustments...a button to adjust bass and the other two handle volume. Nothing much on the radio itself either so if you're hoping for true CD quality, this isn't the way to go.
The one other issue I have I'm not sure if it's the SkyFi3 that's at fault (probably) or the speakers, but it sometimes turns on and starts playing in the middle of the night which is really annoying.
Digital camera Review: Pretty cool system
Summary: 4 Stars
I was worried about picking up a signal but I can get signals from a window facing NE and SE as well when I place the antenna on the window sill. You can also fine tune the signal by turning the antenna base clockwise or counter clockwise.
The volume is excellent in my opinion, filling the room and you can hear good in an adjacent room. Excellent base boost as well. This has a handle that you grab and take with you to another room or outside. The antenna tucks away under a top compartment if you want to take it outside.
There is no off switch. You turn the receiver off and the unit powers down. You might be able to hear a very faint hiss and low volume levels, but I believe this is inherent for any xm receiver. If you plug an mp3 player in the back, there is no hiss. So it is the transmission.
One nice touch is a battery saver switch. If you put batteries in it but use AC power most of the time, there is a switch in back where you can turn the batteries off, so there is no battery drain while they sit encased in the unit.
I originally bought an XpressR for this unit. I called Delphi and they said it was incompatible, although it worked for me. So I replaced the unit with the XpressRC with the color screen. Its a better match. Better reception and when you turn the receiver off, the boom box shuts down also.
I was a bit skeptical because of the price, but now I am glad I own this and feel its a good value.
