Tracking the Lynx

A fun, portable, practical touchscreen satellite radio

The SiriusXM Lynx is one cool cat. It lets you take SiriusXM with you everywhere you go, whether you’re relaxing at home, out for a jog, or driving your car. It’s small, easy to carry, and fun to use. And it's also very versatile — you can listen to live satellite radio while it’s docked, listen to SiriusXM Internet Radio over Wi-Fi®, and play your MP3s.

We gave J.R., a Supervisor in Crutchfield’s Advisor group and long-time satellite radio fan, a Lynx to check out recently. He took it with him everywhere he went, and let us know what he thought. One of his favorite features: “I really like that it has built-in Wi-Fi, because it gives me access to all the SiriusXM channels I can only get on the Internet.”

SiriusXM Lynx The Lynx features a beautiful touchscreen and an intuitive interface. You can listen live over the air with an optional kit, or over a Wi-Fi® network. And you can stream audio to the home dock or com­patible headphones with the built-in Bluetooth® connectivity. The Lynx records your favorite channels automatically while you’re receiving a live satellite radio signal, storing up to 200 hours of entertainment.

"The screen is beautiful, and I get valuable info like signal strength and station category."

J.R.'s verdict: this one's one-of-a-kind

J.R. has been a satellite radio subscriber for a long, long time, and he's owned his share of radios. For him, the Lynx fits in its own category. "No other satellite radio can do what the Lynx does — especially Wi-Fi capability. For me, that's what really sets it apart." He's also been using it in the home dock. "I'm teaching a training class, and I set up the Lynx so the class could listen to SiriusXM. I even ran an antenna up on the roof to get a live signal. It'll be tough to give up the Lynx when my trial period is over."
