Not exactly commercial-free but still good
Sirius/XM satellite radio does the job well. There are dozens of channels to choose from if your terrestrial radio is getting annoying. But it's not exactly all commercial free. Sound Quality The sound is either great or not on. So many things can affect the sound such as antenna placement and FM transmission. If something is amiss, you hear nothing. Performance If my antenna is in the right place, I have very few performance issues. Every once in awhile there's a delay between channel changes or displaying the lineup. But it's not a continuous issue. Battery Life I don't use a battery for this satellite radio. My speaker unit has that option but I haven't needed it yet. Durability I've had Sirius XM for four years with no problems. Ease of Use Depending on your radio model, this is pretty easy to use overall. However, you need to learn how to pull the menu categories to make channel selection go faster. Otherwise it can be annoying trying to pick the one you want. Also, the presets are handy- there are 10 of them available. I usually pick a different preset by category. Design I have the Onyx version so it's design is a little tricky. There are so many different cars so it doesn't attach the same for each one. Mine is on an AC vent and there's no way to hide all the wires without drilling into my car b/c of how the outputs are layed out on the radio unit. However, there is so much wire available you can do some nifty tucking to avoid snags.
