Comments about Crosley CR224-BK Explorer 1 AM/FM/XM Ready Tabletop Sound System (Black):

Good overall sound. Not as great as a Bose clockradio I have but price and looks are pluses. Also uses an XM mini-dock which the Bose doesn't. Unfortunately, the mini-dock must be purchased separately. It appears the Sirius format will work as well. I also like the battery back-up feature for the clock radio. And, XM can be used for wake-up music. Nice touch.

Comments about Crosley CR224-BK Explorer 1 AM/FM/XM Ready Tabletop Sound System (Black):

I love the design of this radio and specifically chose it for it's retro look. I was skeptical about the sound quality at first, but, I've now been using it for a few weeks and have been very impressed. For such a small machine it delivers a clear sound and great AM/FM reception. It works great with my ipod and I am looking forward to using it with XM radio once we move to an area that provides the service.
