Sirius had good sound quality about 8-9 years ago. Now, it's absolute trash.

Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play... these are the only way to go now.

listen to a CD back to back. Even the FM radio. The sound quality over satellite is awful.

I usually stream Tidal when I have good music queued up and Spotify 320k when I want it to generate the playlist. I still have the sat subscription but rarely use it.

I keep mine primarily for Howard. It's annoying having to call up every 6 months to a year to threaten to drop it to get a good rate.

Trash quality. Like someone said, you have to threaten to cancel to keep any kind of a good deal. Unfortunately I forgot and they renewed it for like 3 years so I'm stuck with it. I listen to it probably once or twice every two months when I'm on a road trip and too lazy to scan through radio stations. Sound quality is less than CD quality. MP3, Spotify, HD radio, and finally Sirius if in a pinch.

+1 I used to travel a lot in my job and listened to it then. The music got so repetitious that I finally had enough. Wouldn't listen to it if it was free, which according to this thread, that happens for some

I use it 90% of the time. Quality changes strangely. I drive about 35,000/year. The Bridge, 70's, Highway, Comedy and CNN.

Just call, they'll refund the portion you haven't used.
