No matter where you are, the Coby CX-8 mini AM/FM radio lets you keep up with the latest news and traffic reports, follow your favorite sports teams, or just listen to the music stations you're in the mood for. Lightweight and compact, with dimensions of just 1.75 x 0.75 x 3.5-inches, the CX-8 runs on two "AAA" batteries and can hang comfortably from your neck or clip securely to your belt, letting you keep your hands free whether you are running errands or just going out for a walk.

A sensitive AM/FM tuning dial helps you find the best reception possible, and the Dynamic Bass Boost System (DBBS) lets you enjoy those pulsating lower frequencies. The built-in wide range speaker lets you set the CX-5 down and listen to any AM or FM radio broadcast with your friends, while lightweight earphones are included to give you stereo sound without having to worry about disturbing others when you're in a crowd. With a sleek design and colorful clear outer casing that will brighten any setting, the Coby CX-8 is an AM/FM radio that you'll want to bring along to stay connected to the airwaves no matter what you're doing.

I got this radio yesterday, and for 10 bucks it is pretty good. I use this at work, and it has good reception and clarity. If you need a radio on the go, this is pretty good. It needs AAA batteries

I like the good reception; it takes a little bit of pratice to fine tune in radio stations. The stereo earbuds sound cheap; so I recommend buying name brand. Sony headphones really improved the sound quality. The built in speaker sounds cheap, too. The convient neck strap and bet clip make it easily portable. It looks great also. Overall, it's a great value for the money.

Let's face it, this is an inexpensive product and you should not expect much. But given that, it is okay value for your money.

Pros: Compact design, option of using speaker or headphones, neckstrap, belt clip.

Cons: Reception is not very good at all, will only catch strong stations and even that not very well. Speaker quality is very mediocre.

Bottomline: If you want quality, spend $40+ and get a Sangean. But for what it is priced at, I wont complain.
