COBY CX-50 - Portable radio

I bought this radio, the batteries last only about a week, I only used it once a day for less than an hour, the reception is'nt good, constantly had to adjust the antenna on the top. now it does'nt even work anymore, and I only used it for less than a year and it was pretty pathedic right from the start, it would be better to spend more than 8$ for a radio.

You get what you pay for, but this is not worth even that. Awful reception & audio quality. Wanted to check out with ear-phones and connected. The audio quality was better but when I pulled out the ear-phones, there was no sound from the speakers. Returned it on the same day.

These simple radios for simple people are difficult to find. It is an excellent radio, well worth more than the $8 purchase price. I use it in the room I happen to be occupying or even outside. Set it on a counter or table or listen with the earphones that are included. Great Product.

I bought this little guy for one purpose, to listen to talk radio in the morning, in the shower! So I really only use it for about 10 minutes a day. I place it on the counter and it's loud enough for me to hear in the shower, and it's not even turned up all the way. It serves the purpose very well. Reception is good (only 1 station used) and battery life hasn't been an issue, probably from the low usage. But for under $10 it's a great value and works for me.

great little radio! smaller than a cellphone but awesome speaker sound. better reception than I thought it would have for its size. I would have given it 5 stars but the digital display cut out on me once but then started working again. the radio continued working the whole time, just could see what channel I was on. If the screen quits working I will definately return this radio for another of the same.
