Sirius Stiletto 2

The Sirius Stiletto 2 is a truly portable Sirius satellite radio that lets you listen to live Sirius radio through headphones while you're outside. Sirius Replay allows you to pause, rewind and replay up to 60 minutes of live radio, plus users can record up to 10 hours of songs using the one-touch recording feature. It is Wi-Fi-capable for streaming Sirius radio content from the Internet when you're within range of a Wi-Fi hot spot or network. There's a microSD card slot for additional memory to supplement the built-in 2 GB of internal flash memory, and Game Alert and Game Zone for sports fans. Owners say that the new Altec Lansing headphones are better than what was available on earlier Sirius radios. However, neither a car kit nor a home kit is included. If you are looking for Sirius radio for car use, the Starmate 4 (*est. $90) is both well-received and less expensive.

We found a blog review of the Stiletto 2 at SiriusBuzz.com, a site dedicated to satellite radio. The review gives a good first-person report on the radio, and does a nice job outlining details, but was contributed by a Sirius radio retailer. The consumer reviews at Amazon.com point out both likes and dislikes, but most lack a frame of reference for comparison.
