Pioneer Inno

Pioneer Inno Screen

Relatively intuitive to use; easy to carry; good sound; built-in FM modulator

Napster can be finicky; shart battery life; can only record XM feeds while plugged into AC

I sure like the idea of being able to have my favorite XM channels with me wherever I go.

Pioneer Inno

Type: Mobile, Service: XM

Receives live content without being docked. Records up to 50 hours of XM radio. Plays MP3s and WMAs. Excellent integration with XM + Napster client. Very sleek. Nice included earbuds. Very good sound quality. Color screen.

Tone controls don't work with non-XM content. A bit expensive. Capacity isn't large enough, and partition settings aren't flexible enough ; Watch the Pioneer Inno XM2GO Video Review

The device itself is extremely cool, and the service is top-notch and integrated beautifully with the XM + Napster client. But the Inno's price, which doesn't include XM service fees, may scare off those on a budget.

I drive for a living and am a parent of a teenage boy who is always on the go. This product is a lifesaver. Not only can I listen to my favorite XM channels on the road but I can carry it with me to games and do my daily walk. And what I really like...

Pioneer Inno

The inno was a huge disappointment! I couldn't get a signal long enough to listen to an entire song. Its suppose to be portable, but does poorly. FM modulator is not internal on this unit. Get ready to pay XM 70.00 for the accessory. I cancelled the...

Pioneer Inno

This little device is perfect for my lifestyle; easy portability for outdoor work or exercising, lots of music/talk/sports selection of course (as part of XM), and most importantly, the ability to record without getting the computer involved. The only...

Pioneer Inno

I love XM radio. It the perfect service for someone who appreciates more than just one or two styles of music and is tired of listening to the same songs over and over on the iPod.

I have only one negative about this radio, it's terrible in the car with the car dock and car antenna…it cuts out all the time, it dosen't matter if its back road or highway…outside of that this radio is a great device…

I loaded up my brand-spankin' new Inno with a little more than an hour of recorded comedy yesterday and then took a walk around the block (which is a 4-mile walk in my neck o' the woods)The sound through the included (very comfortable) earbuds was...
