When it comes to providing satellite radio to you, Sirius knows that the surest way to do it, better than anyone else, is by working with the finest audio companies in the world to design and build amazing products so you get a great selection.

Online, at the Sirius website you can browse all of the latest and greatest Sirius products. There are lots of ways to listen to Sirius radio, the choice is yours. You'll find a big selection at the Sirius website, from Sirius Plug and Play devices to Home Units and Head Units. You can also modify an existing radio to listen to Sirius by purchasing an FM Modulator - an FM Modulated system allows you to listen to Sirius without getting a new radio.

Unlike with TV, there are just two contenders in the huge battle for satellite radio supremacy. Sirius Satellite Radio vs XM Satellite Radio. To find the satellite radio provider that suits you best, Sirius or XM Satellite Radio, you first need to know that there are many more similarities between Sirius and XM than differences.

• Both Sirius Radio and XM have monthly subcription plans and, although each has pre-paid packages, Sirius is the only one currently to offer lifetime (of radio) subscriptions, which works out extremely reasonably. Otherwise, costs per month are very similar.
• Both Sirius Satellite Radio and XM have portable tuners, which you can easily move from home to car, etc.
• Both Sirius Satellite Radio and XM have superb, digital-quality sound, although you should buy orginal satellite radio equipment for best sound, as opposed to modifying an existing radio with an FM Modulator
• Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio each broadcast throughout the continental United States via their state-of-the-art satellite systems
• Each has 100% commerical-free music channels, and the number of channels and genres is also very similar. Some non-music channels do have a minimal amount of commercials, but nothing to get worked up about. Compared to regular commercial radio they're effectively commercial-free.


At the end of the day, both Sirius Radio and XM Radio offer compelling products at excellent prices, although at this point in time, in our opinion - having tested both - we favor the Sirius Satellite Radio. The well-designed Sirius Satellite Radios, sleek and stylish to say the least, also help to tip our scale in Sirius's favor.

Sirius Satellite Radio is more than 120 channels of 100% commercial-free music, world-class sports, news, talk and information. Sirius delivers content and quality that AM/FM radio just doesn't have, and can't offer, from original programming to seeing the artist and song that is playing on the display feature. Sirius Satellite Radio is the hottest thing to happen to radio since Marconi.

Listen to Sirius Radio wherever you are - from your desktop, from your car, in the garden or at the football match … anywhere at all. The Sirius radios are really great, and the radio display gives you more information about what's currently being broadcast than you'll find almost anywhere - artist, track title, etc, etc. Sirius Satellite Radio is Satellite Radio at it's best. XM Satellite Radio is the main competitor (or rather, the only competitor) to Sirius Radio but, in our opinion, Sirius wins on every front - from the programming to the show hosts, from the exceptional value to the actual satellite radios themselves. If you're thinking of choosing a satellite radio service then look no further, Sirius Satellite Radio is it!
