I know it for mostly cars. But which one of these is best for inside a home. I know about the subscription for the app. I rather not do the app only. Is SiriusXM even worth it to begin with.
 

Wow. I hadn't thought of inside the home. I have it in pretty much every vehicle, but only use it for long road trips, across country, multiple hours anyway. Shorter driving, in town, commuting, I largely listen to sports podcasts.

I couldn't offer anything of value for in-home. I almost never, like ever, listen to music at home or in the home
 

I use it everyday in my car. I just signed up for another year. $11 something after taxes. Just had to say the normal rate is too much and boom, it's done.
Beatles, Grateful Dead, Alternative, and the Garage rock station are worth it for me.
 

We have it in our home through an app on our firestick. Think we got it for $5/mo for unlimited streaming devices (my wife handles that so not positive of price). We use it some. Kind of of back and forth between that and Amazon Music for house and patio area. Same as car. Lots of genres to choose from.
 

I use it almost every day via the app while I'm working. I like the randomness of flipping around stations and finding stuff I haven't heard or thought of in awhile. I pretty rarely pay full price for anything, There's always deals that can be found if you dig. I got it for free for six months through my Walmart+ membership. I cancelled that about a month ago, but the app is still working for me today, so I'll keep listening for free until they catch on.
 


Depends on what your goals are. XMs main draw for me was the mix of music played on stations. They tend to go further off the mainstream path when shuffling in songs. But I only held onto it for a couple of years because the satellite radio quality was absolute dogshit. Compressed mp3 quality that was noticably bad......with little dynamic range. Now....this is through satellite, so mostly in the car. Believe there is an internet option if you are in the home. Quality is probably a little better. But I'd still opt for a service that delivers lossless SQ.
 

I totally love SiriusXM. My deal is $13/mo includes all sports and Stern. Sports is awesome, especially out of town to listen to local stuff. Also don't have to put up with KFAN's local blowhard when listening to Viking games on the few times I am not able to watch on TV.

I just used the App through wireless earbuds and speakers. In my car I play via Bluetooth.

Music is awesome, especially for a Pearl Jam fanatic as well as Beatles & E Street Radio.

Also use it for podcasts.
