Samsung Helix YX-M1Z Satellite Radio Receiver

So how did they get a complete satellite receiver into a device that measures 3.7 x 2.2 x 0.6 inches? By using an advanced satellite/terrestrial internal antenna that allows the device to receive signals from anywhere. The device is light, too, weighing in at just 4.5 ounces. The unit's full-color, 180 x 180 TFT display, as well as a user-friendly interface, make it easy to save and delete content. In addition to making it easy to find the music you want to listen to quickly, the interface lets you build your own playlists right on the device that consist of XM radio content and your own digital music. Another cool feature is the Helix's built-in memory buffer, which allows you to save an entire XM radio song even if you decide to save it in the middle of the song. The Helix's internal memory supports up to 50 hours of saved content.

Pros Great value for the price. Very good to excellent sound quality. Very convenient.
Cons Poor reception makes it useless as a portable radio while walking around the city.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had the Samsung Helix for three weeks. Now I understand why so many people are walking around in their own world with a headset on. My wife recently bought a Nano and, once I tried it, I was hooked. The Helix is better than the Nano, in my view, because it can record off the air while the... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

This product was intentionally downgraded (as was the Pionner Inno), so that the FM transmitter will only work if you buy the car kit. Now you can't take it to your office and use with your boombox, etc. Perhaps they think they will sell more hardware this way.

However, in the days of... Read full review »

Outrageous pricing for feature set on the Helix

Pros Color Screen, XM/MP3/Napster Integration, Small Size
Cons No FM Modulator (despite packaging claims), Limited Storage, Expensive
Recommended it? No

I have been an XM subscriber for a while - with the original Delphi XM2Go set, and two other units in cars. The Helix/Inno sounded great - more visible color screen, MP3/XM/Napster integration. I wanted to use the unit either in the car or at home, through the FM Modulator, which I do with the old... Read full review »
