Digital camera reviews of Coby CX-96 All Weather Sport PLL AM/FM Radio with Arm Band
Digital camera Review: Nice Armband Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
Received this radio and I'm happy with the purchase. The armband also confused me until I read another review suggesting that I refer to the amazon picture for the Coby CX-84. There is no armband design flaw. When the radio arrives, pull out the armband and refeed it onto your brackets. The velcro ends get fed into the mounting brackets from each side. Feed over the bracket and velcro the tab to the underside of the band. When you're done, you'll have a velcro tab attached to the underside of the band on both sides of the radio. Get the fit/tightness right at this point because you slide your arm into the band to wear it.Digital camera Review: Nice for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
It works fine for the gym, didn't care for the armband strap. The earbuds worked fine for me.Digital camera Review: Not so great but ok
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all this radio is easy to use, however the reception could be better. The arm band works well and is comfortable but the flimsy plastic tabs that hold the radio to the holder broke right off and I had to use some velcro to reattach it. I wouldn't recommend trying to run or do anything active with it or it will fall off the arm band. But if you're just sitting around or mowing the grass it is fine. The headphones are junk, but if you have a good set it sounds good. Overall it's a get what you pay for item. Not great and not bad either. If you just want a good cheap radio this will work.Digital camera Review: Not so hot

There are a number of problems with this radio. It's as if someone just slapped this together without any fore thought. For instance, the arm band has all the velcro on the same side. This means that when you wrap it around your arm, you have to twist it, or you end up with velcro on a smooth surface. My main problem is with the controls. In order to change channels, you have to cycle through the whole 10 presets in order. In other words, if you're on channel 2, and want to get to channel 1, you have to go from 3 through 10, and then to one. There is a button for the band, and you can just switch between the same two AM and FM channels, but if you listen to more than two, it takes an effort. If you're jogging or bicycling, it takes away from the fun. The sound isn't too bad, but nothing to write home about.Digital camera Review: Not the best...But ok

Looked around for one for a decent price and would go on the arm, this one seemed to be good for the price, but it slips some. Music is ok but not the best for the price it's ok.
