 Small size, no other benefits May 29, 2009
By A Customer
"customer12345657"
Somehow I forgot to write a review for this thing last year (though I remembered to upload the photo!).
I tried a few Coby radios at the time, including this one, and none were very good. Weak reception and sound. As the other reviewer noted, reception is bad enough to make several stations virtually non-existent.
If you actually want to listen to radio, pay more for a Sangean or Sony.
Compared to this Coby:
1. The Sangean SR-3 is like a much higher-quality version of the Coby, but for a much higher price.
2. The Sony ICF-S10MK2 offers similar quality advantages without being more expensive, but it is much larger.
3. A variety of small headphone-only Sony radios are also available for reasonable prices.
I gave the coby 2 stars because the price is low enough to make it a novel pocket-size toy. I don't know of any other speaker-bearing radio this small for this price. But if you want anything more than novelty value, this is a bad choice.

 Very Weak Reception!!! May 06, 2009
By Mark Harrison
first off I didn't expect a lot from a less than five dollar radio. I wanted a small radio with which to listen to online radio stations, via a very high quality CCrane fm transmitter. any brand should have accomplished this easily as the signal from the transmitter can be heard 3 houses down loud and clear. This radio however had static only one room away! Only 2 or 3 fm broadcast stations came in strong enough to be completely static free. and am was almost useless only receiving the two local stations less than 15 miles away! the radio looks good, is small and if you can get a signal the built in speakers were clear. included was a neck strap which would have been handy, and a belt clip along with a pair of very cheap earbud headphones. Coby may have poor quality control and some may work marginally better, but i would gamble even the few dollars this radio cost to try to get one.
Awful reception Apr 02, 2012
By sp05
I have this in silver and it gets terrible reception. I can only get 1 local station in sort of clearly and even then, there's still significant static. Most of the time the signal fades in and out, so I just don't use it. It also runs through batteries very quickly.
 Simple, but effective. Nov 15, 2011

This little radio was purchased as a gift. The recipient had really enjoyed it and it was well worth the price.
