4 out of 5 stars Great sound, small package   February 2, 2007

I picked this unit up at a local thrift store for the staggering amount of $10.00, new in the box, so that might color my judgment of it a little. I used the receiver in the car and swapped it in the boombox for home use, until I replaced the car unit with a Visor.
For this thing's size, it puts out a fair amount of sound, and the clarity is really amazing for speakers this size, which is about 3 inches, I'd say. It won't please the audiophile in your life, but it will bring the satellite radio out of the car and into your home.
It looks a little clunky and is quite heavy, especially when loaded down with batteries, but it's got a nice solid feel to it, unlike many of the current electronics out there. If you have an XAct that'll fit this, buy it. I have to take one star off for the receiver popping out on occasion, but other than that, it's a great accessory to have.

This product maybe the best on the market, but we'll never know. This company needs to be more specific on what models of Sirius Satellite Radios that this boombox is compatible with. Unfortunately, it was not compatible with ours and had to be returned. We had no problems with returning the merchandise, but it would have saved us a lot and time and effort if we had known up front that there was a compatiblity problem.

I love satellite radio but I would be cautious about buying an Xact unit. Xact products carry a 12 month warranty. At exactly 13 months the unit stopped working. Xact customer service informed me they were no longer responsible for the unit. Before buying this product search the web and you will find many "13 month" stories. Instead, I would suggest buying directly from Sirius.

The XACT XS025 boombox is a solid performer. It is not going to win any awards for sound quality or looks but it gets the job done and it does it well. If you want to bring your commercial free radio to a party, picnic or beach, this boombox will serve you well. I was surprised I was able to listen to satellite music inside my house. The blue lighted power/volume knob is kinda cool.

I like the fact that you can plug this boombox in or load it up with 700 D batteries (OK 8 D batteries - but it is pretty heavy). You can get about 4 or so hours of listening time with battery power. Good enough for a typical party. If you are going to an all-nighter, bring spares.

Pros - great reception, decent sound, AC/DC option, good battery listening time, cool volume light.

Cons - U-G-L-Y, heavy when loaded with batteries, clunky carrying handle.
