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. Less

solid and slightly flawed sirius radio

bykubotando Jan 27, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, backlit, FM transmitter, can be portable
Cons Hard to tune, buttons flat
Recommended it? Yes

I have no idea what the other two reviews are all about. Perhaps they ran into a bad streak of luck? I've had my little stream jockey for over 3 months and no problems.
This unit is about the size of a small walkie-talkie and sports a number of nice features including seek and memory... Read full review »

Love mine and still cranking

Pros Small, durable, easy to use
Cons I really dont have any
Recommended it? Yes

I've had mine for over 3 years now with no issues what so ever. I've used the FM Transmitter to play through my home stereo and it worked perfectly. The Xact portable pod I purchased to go with it also works very well. I am replacing it now only because my kids stepped all over it in my back seat... Read full review »

Terrific concept

byamaurycruz Mar 24, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Wait for something better

Pros Stores both MP3s and satellite radio broadcasts
Cons FM transmitter deactivated unless you buy the car kit. Reception not perfect (accessory...
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 »
