Good solid unit with a few imperfections July 25, 2010
Optimist (Kansas)
Bought this together with a Audiovox Onyx XDNX1V1 radio unit. (NOTE: The XMBB1 does NOT include the radio!) So far, I am pretty happy with the performance of both. Although not obvious from what I could find in the descriptions, the XMBB1 does include an AC adapter, and also an antenna (see my uploaded pictures), and it does seem to work with the Onyx XDNX1V1 despite not explicitly listing it - perhaps because that radio head is newer?
The XMBB1 is nicely built and works well, but has a few issues as others have mentioned. The sound is pretty good. I tried it with both the XM radio head and with an Ipod. Not perfect fidelity, but pleasant. There is no tone control (unless the radio head you buy has one), and the volume control needs more resolution. With the iPod, this was not an issue since I can control both tone and volume from the iPod unit itself. But with the Onyx radio, the volume in the radio seems to be linked to by the XMBB1, so that you can't use both. And what you get is something that cannot be turned down to a very low level. Low, but not real low. So if you want whisper-level sound, you'll have a problem. At the loud end of the range, I felt there was plenty of volume for indoor use. The fixed tone from the combined XMBB1/Onyx is OK, but I would like it somewhat brighter and I feel there is a bit heavy weighting in the mid-bass region. But it's fine for most listening...
Reception indoors with the antenna mounted on the back of the box is mixed. I tried it in several locations in our 1-story ranch house, and it worked in most, though you have to have the antenna tilted up and you need to have the back of the radio facing somewhat south. In the basement where it had to look through more wood and carpet structure (or though cinder-block) it was *very* marginal (not receiving in most locations). But that is to be expected for a satellite receiver. That's why you get a really long cord on the antenna ;-)
Overall, if you are Ok with these imperfections, I feel like this is a solid unit and worth the price.
(One side-note about the reviews saying they could not control the volume. I had an odd problem the first time I tried the radio with the XMBB1. I had reception, but no sound. Re-seating the radio fixed it and it has worked since then. Maybe there is a connector issue with some units??)
Nice XM boombox July 21, 2010

The Audiovox Compact Sound System is a good product for portable listening to XM satellite radio. I use the Onyx radio with it.

Is pretty much what I expected for around 91 dollars shipped. Not a tru BOOM box per se, but the sound is decent, even at higher volumes. The other reviews that suggest a tone control are correct, I wish it had a little more treble or a way to adjust it. I have a small-ish apartment and the sound can fill the place enough to hear a floor away up or down, so it can crank! I usually have the Chillout channel on, or Area or 80's stuff. I have the XM Onyx on mine and read one reviewer who said he cannot control the volume. I think he might be a little nuts. Either pushing the radio manual volume control or the Onyx remote does the same thing. Volume can be contolled full up or full down that way. The AUX port is nice, there is a headphone jack as well...the headphone jack could double as an out from the boombox, into a cars AUX in port, like an Ipod out. In a pinch, it could pump xm into the car sound system. Nice for me as I have a Mini Cooper and can not find anyone who can figure out how to install my Onxy into my dash or somewhere easy to use.
I was impressed by the speed of the super saver shipping! Thanks Amazon, shopping online is saving me money, hassel, and you cannot beat Amazon's return policy.
Better than I had hoped for June 29, 2010
mr. oysterhead (canastota, ny)
Buying a piece of audio equipment online without hearing it first can be a risky endeavor, but I put my faith in trusting the online reviews and can happily say this Audiovox XMBB1 is more than I would have been satisfied with. Its solidly built, good looking, and the sound is quite adequate as long as you're not expecting the performance of an expensive high-end stereo system that will blow you out of the room. For a $90 tabletop radio, however, believe me you'll be pleasantly surprised.
