sirius vs. XM
Permalink Closed

not sure where to post this one:


i am thinking of getting one or the other.  some people i know claim sirius is better and others claim XM. 


also, i just found out i am getting TOM TOM through work.  will i have WAYYYY too much gadgetry in my car?


where can i go besides the websites to get some valuable info on sirius and XM- Best Buy?  Should i buy from the website or through a retailer?


as you can see- i'm lost as to what to do- i just know i want to have good music whereever i go and you all know i drive A LOT for work... help!

I would go with Sirius just to listen to Stern.


However, I think that XM may have more music only channels available.


I would just go to their respective websites and look around if I were you!

Sirius hands down. DH has XM and I listen to Sirius at work through my computer. The only reason DH has XM is because he wants to be able to listen to games/Nascar, that sort of thing. However, he is contemplating getting Sirius simply because the music selection is so much wider and more versatile than XM. So if you want sports do XM, but for music, I'd definitely get Sirius. HTH!

it really depends on what YOU want to listen to.  personally, I'd rather listen to Oprah than Martha Stewart (I hate her new show - so cheesy) and Howard Stern, but that's me...

I voted Sirius.  I got the BF Sirius for Christmas and we love it.  I really don't know much about XM, but like the other girls, it all depends what you want.  Check out both and decide what's right for you.


Oh, and if your Best Buy is anything like mine -they don't know crap!

I can't really vote since I have never used Sirius, but I have XM.  My car is equipped for sattelite, but I refuse to pay the $400 plus for a damn chip and installation, so I just got the plug in gadget.  There is only about 4 chanells I ever listen to.  Seems like it's always playing the same damn songs, so I end up switching to the fm radio or a cd.  Also the cost includes having it on your computer.

I vote for Sirius. I have Sirius currently but have listened to XM alot in the past. I prefer Sirius becasue there is a lot more variety and is more versitle. With Sirius' new headset unit, you can carry it like a walkman and not have to carry a massive boom box.


Alo, I am a huge Howard Stern fan.  :)

apparently so.  they have a video of Martha Stewart installing one on her show and the clip is about 3 minutes long- plus she shows it on a mini cooper (which is what i have) - so i am golden if i follow Martha's advice
