Home, car, street--this all-in-one portable XM receiver goes everywhere and includes many accessories and top-notch features, like the ability to save up to five hours of broadcast listening pleasure. It's bulky and the sound quality is average, but the flexibility more than makes up for its few shortcomings.

XACT XTR1 STREAM JOCKEY
Sirius
PRICE $100 @getxact.com
The low price makes this the perfect entry-level unit for Sirius subscribers, but its features are anything but cheap. There's a seek feature that hunts down your favorite artists wherever they're playing, and a built-in FM transmitter allows you to listen through your car's radio without wires.

TIVOLI MODEL SATELLITE
PRICE $300 @tivoliaudio.com
Although it has only one speaker, this home component puts out a sound so clean you won't even notice. Our only gripe is the hard-to-read control labels and the lack of volume control on the remote. Nevertheless, the superb audio quality makes this tabletop Sirius/AM/FM radio a work of art. (For even richer sound, you can also invest in the optional matching stereo speaker and subwoofer.)
