Could be better...
Written By
Joe, Kansas City on Wednesday, January 24, 2007
I previously had a Roady2 and loved how the radio worked but found the sound quality to be poor. It sounded a lot like internet radio.
I purchased the neXus 25 hoping that it would be better and have found that it is not. These radios sound like your listening to an internet stream. I've called XM about this and they insist that the sound quality should be good.
I had Sirius before and used a cheap Audiovox radio which truly had CD quality.
If it weren't for the talk shows on XM, I'd be back to Sirius.

Great Combination Player and Radio
Written By

Have XM in my car, and was looking for an MP3 player that was big enough for my wife to read without using her glasses, but not cost a fortune. I stumbled across the Nexus 25 - which give me XM at home, an MP3 player with lots of room, easily read, and adaptable for my other vehicle. Comes with home dock station, car kit an extra $60. Both were a snap to set up, car installation sounds great - as good as factory installed unit. Has small remote with both kits that really makes it easy to use. Love the "hear it/record it" feature. Additonal XM subscription only $7 a month. All around a great value and well worthwhile.

Samsung neXus 25

I ordered one for myself and one for my daughter. She had previously had an IPOD (which was recently stolen). I was worried that the Nexus wouldn't be as "user friendly" for her as the IPOD. I couldn't be more pleased! It is just as simple as the IPOD for a MUCH cheaper price! We already had and XM radio subscription, so my daughter LOVED the fact that she could save XM songs for free! We get great reception from anywhere inside or outside of our house. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Poor Quality, Poor Reception
Written By
AL, Michigan on Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Tried one of these out and ended up returning it.
Poor reception and Product Quality.
I then tried the Sirius Satellite Stiletto, Unbelievable What a difference !! Fantastic Reception, Great Quality with Super clear Screen and really nice to use!
If you need one then this is the one!!

Just as Good as the Color Models! BUY IT!

Some reviewers of the Nexus 25/50 XM portables will have you believe just because the Nexus has no color display or live mode, it is inferior to the higher priced models The Inno & Helix, well they are wrong in my opinion. The Nexus aside from no live mode, color display and tune select is basically EXACTLY the same as the Inno & Helix! It does everything practically they do except its ALOT cheaper.
The whole point of walking around with a portable is to have HOURS of music so if the Nexus models do not have a live mode outside the home/car cradle is not the sharpest of points to be making. You can record 25 hrs or 50 hrs which is ALOT of XM content or MP3s if you chose to transfer your collection to the Nexus. My old MyFi/Airware would break up and lose single when I was walking around so being able to listen to recorded songs that like instead of having to switch over stations when I hear songs I dont like, is great! No live mode? Bah! Who cares!
The color display is fancy sure but did it make me want to spend a heck of alot more on the Inno & Helix? No because i cant afford it. If I could, I possibly would have but I like to save money. The display on the Nexus is just fine, it shows extended song information, even more then the color models I believe. Its clear and sharp so again not sure why some reviewers think this is a horrible thing.
Some reviewers are suggesting the Nexus to the stepchild of the next gen models & thats completely false. If it had come first, everyone would be loving it but since it came after the color models, people's attention are on them. The Nexus models are just as superb! BUY IT NOW!!
