Can I use this in a stadium? Does it have a built in battery and headphone/speaker connection? I can hold the antenna in my hand.

Negative. This is just the receiver. Sirius does make an iPod type unit however.

This radio is not made for portable use. There are some battery powered portable models. I considered one of these for stadium use but decided against it because the total signal delay would be about 30 seconds. XM adds a 15-20 second buffering delay (to allow an uninterrupted signal when driving under underpasses, etc.) to the radio delay. I think the delay is unacceptable for stadium use.

You can plug in headphones but it has to have the antenna hooked up and it is not battery powered so not very portable.

The radio has 3 jacks - headphone, charging & mp3 input - no antenna. You could use a wire with a clip on one end.

Yes, If I recall correctly it has an antenna input that looks like a headphone jack, and comes with the necessary adaptor. The problem was that the reception is really, really bad. Oh, and if you use the aux (AV) inputs there's no way to control the volume. Cheers! The funny thing though, is if you can get channels with the antenna, the screen looks really sharp because it's very small hehe.

Umm, there's no battery and it plugs into your phone/computer/other electronic. The "amplified" it just something to catch your attention. they are a very good pair of headphones though, but the ear pieces are a bit small.Hope that helped :)

Sadly no external antenna connection. Has: line in, line out, headphones jack and external power. Has built in battery charger for MmH batteries. The sound is very good, AM reception is fair and FM is good. Hooking a wire about 36 to the telescoping FM antenna work very well.

It can connect to the radio wirelessly or to an extra set of headphones wirelessly. But i get static sometimes through the radio. Head phones are much better so that the kids can watch a show and i can listen to something different. The only wired connections that you need with this unit are at the dome light.

I don't think so. It appears to be self contained and out of reach, much like an iPad battery. I personally wouldn't worry about it too much for a speaker at this price point.

Yes. you can use it, minus the antenna, however I strongly recommend you use the attached antenna, for better frequency and performance.

It has a built in antenna with am/fm radio. Any other music you will need to connect a device via aux or bluetooth.

There is not an external speaker. Ear buds are required, and are integral to the design, as the ear bud wire serves as the antenna for AM reception, which is extraordinary. I'm in central Maryland and (at night) receive Boston, Atlanta, and Chicago AM stations.

Yes, BUT you can't run the FM radio with the speaker, you need to use the headphone! something strange with sony

Yes, there is a switch on the left side of the radio that you can select to use the built-in speaker. If you don't have earphones connected to the radio, an antenna is provided with the radio that you plug into the earphone jack. When you plug your earphones into the radio, the earphone wire serves as an antenna. If you don't have earphones plugged in, you need to use the antenna provided so you can pick-up radio stations.

It comes with earbuds, plus another long wire that looks like the earbud cable, but is terminated in a small block of plastic. Either one work as an antenna. I soldered a short piece of a broken antenna to the ground lug on a phone jack. It is about 6" long extended and works fine for FM and weather where I live. A piece of wire or a flexible antenna from an old cordless phone would probably work too. If you are going to be in a remote area, then the earbudss or long antenna would be more efficient.

Not that I know of. I've looked into wireless earbuds and headphones. I don't think you will have any luck. Also, the earbud cord seems to be the antenna. Tried a jawbone type speaker and it won't work.

It has it's own speaker. The FM and Bluetooth capabilities are additional features if you want to use them.

no it has a built in battery -- it a good product - the radio want to linger off the radio station as it plays because its not digital - if u r not close to a radio station forget getting radio -- other than that its a good product
