Sirius Antenna Headset? They have GOT to be kidding.
I haven't heard of anyone being able to use it yet, at least not without enduring severe pain.
And the Sportster 4? Maybe they need to read the reviews at Crutchfields.
Laughing uncontrollably at this.
"The Stiletto Antenna Headset was also been honored in the Audio Accessories category."
From everything I've read, those aren't very good. Still, a win is a win is a win.
Don't forget to give XM some CES 2007 Honoree love:
Mobile Audio:
* Audiovox XM Mini-Tuner
* Delphi SkyFi3
Mobile Video:
* Tracvision A7 (DIRECTV/XM)
Wireless Peripherals:
* Bushnell GPS with XM
That's all I could find, that website sucks.
I really like the Sportster 4 - just about the one negative commenton Crutchfield is the FM transmitter weakness, which actually applies to all satrad receivers these days thanks to the FCC.
Now those Stiletto headphones...
The SIRIUS Conductor wireless control system is very cool and functional design and I wish I had one. Sirius deserves props for that remote display.
But people come on. An award for the antenna headphones that are just a more uncomfortable and ugly version of XM's set? Reaching...
Sorry for the run on sentence. ;)
FYI to those who said SIRIUS's headphones were worse than XM's: They're not really different. It's just that the antenna headphones are supposed to go on the earlobe instead of in the ear, hence the increased volume level on the Stiletto when plugged in.
Go out and actually buy Belkin's antenna headphones and Directed's antenna headphones and tell me how they're so different.
