Digital camera Review: Big Fix for a nice little portable radio
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought a digital portable radio with preset stations would be a great product, but hadn't seen any on the market. Imagine my surprise when I saw this little beauty hanging on a shelf in Academy Sports Store. Well, of course I picked one up right away, especially when I saw it was less than $15. After getting it home and trying it out I was pleasantly surprised to hear a pretty good sound even with the ear buds provided. The digital controls worked well, and it was easy to set up the Memory with preset stations (and plenty of them). It was then I found the serious flaw in this product - the lowest volume level is too high for comfortable listening (and I have been accused of being a bit hard of hearing). I started reading reviews here and saw others had the same complaint. Well, I fired off a note to Coby hoping for a cure or workaround for the problem. Then looking thru my electronic gear, I came across a set of ear buds that had a VOLUME Control included - a small slide switch on the wires. I thought could it be... Sure enough, I hooked them up and slid the volume to low, and viola!! the sound was quite low. I could even increase the radio to 3 or 4 bars and cut it back to a comfortable listening level. Unfortunately, I don't have any model info on the ear bud set. I'm pretty sure they came with my HP laptop as they have the HP emblem on the ear pieces. Other volume control enabled ear buds may be available that could work.
I wanted to get this out to all you folks so a good product could be useful in all respects. (the 'Preset' control could use a two way capability so you can tune previous as well as next stations), but you can 'Tune' back to a previous station to accomplish this function. The hanging loop is a nice bit of langiappe also - I like being able to hang it around my neck when walking the Maltese pups. Overall, this radio is a nice bit of technology at a good price.
