The set is performing as i expect for a portable radio. The set works quite well inner my car with a cassette player adapter playing the xm broadcast from the headphone jack. The reception is very stable while the set sits inner the cupful holder between the front seats.
I tested the set inside a restaurant sitting about 5 feet away from the closest window and the reception was still quite good and the sound quality of the music was quite high . I played around with the eq setting and found that the different equalizing setting would definitely affect the sound quality.
Not having the particular xmp3 car cradle, i’m using the car charger and the cassette player adapter from an older xt roady unit, so i obtain not had a chance toward test the xmp3’s fm transmitting capabilities. However, with reduced fm transmission power as required by the fcc, using fm transmission toward listen opened a car’s fm radio while inner a main city like los angeles may be a challenge as i obtain experienced before with many other fm transmission products.
In short, i find the receiving part of this set is strong. The sound quality of the live broadcast is good. The control is easy toward understand and use. I obtain not tested the mp3 player so i cannot comment on that. The price is high but then Pioneer GEX-XMP3 works as it is supposed toward.
