Digital camera reviews of Coby CX-9 Mini Digital AM/FM Stereo Pocket Radio
Digital camera Review: Save your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
Like everyone else who gave this unit one star, I was hoping for a small, easy to carry unit for general listening. What I got was a hard to program, signal drifting piece of electronic waste! Save your money for a higher end unit and think twice before purchasing anything manufactured by Coby.Digital camera Review: My second one!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great little radio!! Has AM band which no MP3 has. It is digital, and is easy to hop around from station to station. I had my first one for many years, and have gone through several sets of earbuds. Unfortunately, I lost it, so I turned right around and bought another one! I was very happy that they were still around.Digital camera Review: Piece of Trash
Summary: 1 Stars
It's remarkably large and relatively heavy for what's supposed to be a micro receiver, and therefore not very useful for commuting. It has a crude clip on the back, making it even less of a "pocket" radio than advertised.
Second, the quality of the reception is unbelievably poor - particularly channel separation. Even in the middle of NYC, several stations kept walking all over each other, making it impossible to listen to.
Third, the controls are not ergonomic or intuitive, and the finish is poor.
Digital camera Review: Useable but needs two major improvements
Summary: 2 Stars
This is an ok radio except for the following:
1) AM reception needs improvement. Sometimes you must hold the radio in your hand and angle it one direction, and then another, to keep reception on a somewhat even keel.
2) Volume control is digital, controlled by two buttons. There are not enough volume settings. When the batteries are strong and you are in the vicinity of traffic noise, one volume setting is two low and the next one up is too high.
Digital camera Review: Sturdy
Summary: 4 Stars
After two years of use with a few accidental drops it still working good. Reception in my area AM is good. FM reception is not the best, but is ok.
My only complain is the volume control: Second bar too quiet and third bar too loud. But that's OK with me because I use a stereo earphone with thumbwheel volume control.
Lot of features and it's digital tuning
