Digital camera reviews of Coby CX-9 Mini Digital AM/FM Stereo Pocket Radio
Digital camera Review: Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, the casing doesn't look half as good as it does in the picture above. Its finish is much rougher, uneven, and cheap.The radio has poor reception, especially in-building, this is my biggest problem with this unit since it makes it unusable.
Furthermore, the volume levels are not spread evenly, hence, the sound is either too loud or two soft (even between one level and the next).
Also, you can't navigate the preset channels in both directions (up/down), instead, you must click through the whole cycle (and you can't click fast, cause the unit won't respond).
Digital camera Review: Poor Reception
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this because I needed to hear some morning radio. However, the lack of an antenna or the one built into the headphones doesn't cut it. I have poor reception so I opted for another one with a traditional antenna. Now things are fine. The unit itself is also bigger than I thought it would be... rather bulky. I had the idea that it would be small and tiny since it was an FM radio only... but it is thicker than a deck of cards and rather bulky.Digital camera Review: Poor execution

Don't waste your money. I thought that this unit would be really small and compact but it's actually just average. You certainly know it's hanging around your neck. Also, the reception is about as poor as I've seen in a portable.Digital camera Review: Poor reception

I just got the radio. Nice price, good-looking (although bigger than I imagined).
The reception for the local radio station I listen to is very bad, however. As a comparison, the station comes in crystal clear in my home and auto radios, and comes in just slightly broken up with my old Sony walkman.
My recommendation: spend a little more money and get a radio that gets better reception.

The reception is terrible. I am close to the transmitting station and the reception breaks up a lot. Would not recommend buying this radio.
