On a similar note, you can pause and rewind live radio thanks to a robust one-hour buffer and can skip up to six times between buffered songs, which is a nice touch. You can turn this function on and off, but the feature is far too convenient to pass on, and makes listening subtly, but profoundly, more satisfying. As a result, you almost never jump into the middle of a song unless you tune in at the very end of a track or during a DJ chat. As you hop between broadcasts, the TuneStart feature automatically plays songs from the beginning as you slide into the channel. TuneStart is a unique and invaluable feature that lets you surf channels as smoothly and seamlessly as possible and could very easily spoil you for listening on any other platform. If SiriusXM’s live radio hook isn’t already enough to grab you, it has a few more interesting elements that enhance the overall experience. LiveXLive Powered by Slacker Radio, with its informative DJ drops, news updates, historical retrospectives, and video content, does something similar, but on a smaller scale. Simply put, there is a lot of entertainment within SiriusXM's many channels, the likes of which few other audio streaming services can match. LL Cool J delivers an eclectic range of hip hop on Rock The Bells Radio, and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo hosts Mad Dog Sports Radio, to name a few. Kevin Hart yuks it up with Laugh Out Loud Radio, a collection of Hart’s specials, shows and dialogues. Howard Stern is a big name on SiriusXM, but the platform is also home to many other notable personalities. The top-tier Platinum, previously called All Access, features all of SiriusXM’s offerings, including video performances, sports (ESPN Radio, NBA Radio), news (CNN, Fox), personalized Pandora music listening, comedy (Comedy Central Radio, Comedy In Color), and online-only channels (Carlin’s Corner, a collection of George Carlin's shows and albums). You miss out on a few goodies overall, such as Howard Stern’s channels and some sports channels, but the tier is still solid for app and vehicle listening. Music and Entertainment, for example, gives you access to more than 325 channels, 150+ of you can listen to in your vehicle. SiriusXM’s content varies depending on your hardware and subscription tier. The company offers a family discount for additional enrollments, but each account is stand-alone and cannot be shared across multiple members in the same way that many streaming services, such as Apple Music or Deezer, do. Also keep in mind that there is no true family plan for any SiriusXM subscription.

Keep in mind, however, that you need a credit card to subscribe to a trial, and once it’s over you are automatically enrolled in the subscription and billed accordingly (unless you opt out before the trial ends). Fortunately, SiriusXM has a surprisingly lengthy three-month trial for many of its packages.

The pricing and feature list for these plans are far too numerous to list here, so take a look at SiriusXM’s pricing page (Opens in a new window) for more details. There's also Marine for fishing and weather info, Aviation for coast-to-coast satellite weather and flight, and Business for business-friendly listening. The Music and Entertainment package, previously called Mostly Music, is a $17.99-per-month bundle for listening devices and vehicles that offers slightly fewer channel options.īeyond the three core bundles, SiriusXM offers additional bundles and specialty packages, such as À La Carte, À La Carte Gold, All-In-One, Family All-In-One, and News, Sports & Talk. For example, Platinum is a bundle similar to Streaming Platinum, but it extends the service to cars and vehicles, and bumps the price to $22.99 per month.
It is worth noting that SiriusXM charges more for services that include both app and vehicle listening.
