What Customers Say About XM101 Sportscaster Headset with XM Antenna & Portable Battery Kit:

They last about 6 mos. This is the 5th head set I have purchased. & then sthe antenna lead breaks.

Now that the second set has stopped working, I gave up and purchased a different XM receiver rather than invest any more money in this poorly designed product. Eventually the wires inside the cable break, and the headphones won't work anymore. The cable that plugs into the Sportscaster receiver is not very sturdy. Since the headphones have the XM antenna inside, you can't just replace them with somethng else.When my first set of these headphones stopped working, the company replaced them under warranty. When it works, this is a nice low-end portable XM unit. The major drawback is the heaphones. The Sportscaster will just display "Check Antenna".

I like my XM Receiver but the headphones are clearly the weak link. They are also very uncomfortable. This is probably the 4th Sportscaster headset that I have ordered. The previous 3 just quit working after a few months each. I would buy another headset design if it were available.

Fast forward to newer generation equipment and you get a reasonably priced headset/antenna with removable battery that works just like a charm with the equally reasonably priced Sportscaster. It just didn't work when I tried to use the service while I was out moving around. I give this an enthusiastic two thumbs up. I had used an xm2go portable unit in the past with an added external antenna. It was first generation equipment and it didn't work unless the unit and the antenna were fixed in location, hence no portability for walking. Now you can really be portable.
