This radio comes packed with features and versatility. It can be played in a car, through a home stereo, or using headphones (I’d recommend investing in a better pair of headphones than the earbuds that come with it). Although the operation of this device isn’t intuitive, it is easily learned, and if you’re willing to read the manual, you’ll find that there is much more to the Nexus 50 XM radio than simply listening.
The major selling point for this radio is that you can record up to 50 hours of content from XM’s channels. You can also store your own personal music collection, because this radio allows you the capability to connect with a computer and transfer your MP3 files to the Nexus. All of this content is portable; it will play in your car, your home, or anywhere you’re willing to listen with headphones. The only minor drawback is that “live” XM channels are not portable. In order to listen to real-time content, you must have the radio docked.
Recording is easy, and you have the option of recording one song, or continuous recording which stops only when you press the button. I have begun recording a song as late as 45 seconds into the track, and picked up the entire track. Recording is precise; you never miss the beginning or end of a track, and the sound quality is exceptional.
Other notable features of this radio include XM-Napster service, in which you can immediately buy a track you hear on XM from Napster, the ability to edit and reorganize your recorded content, and the ability to “lock” content so that you can’t accidentally erase it.
The expense of this radio is offset by its capability to continuously evolve. The kit comes with a USB cable which allows you to connect to your computer and update the firmware (the internal programming that operates the radio). Thus, any minor glitches can potentially be fixed, and functionality can improve, as opposed to the necessity of buying a new radio to get advances in technology. The Samsung Nexus 50 XM radio is well worth the expense, due to its portability and versatility.
