4.0 out of 5 stars Nice radio for the price
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

3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you paid for ...
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...

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.

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality Equals the Price, November 11, 2010

This review is from: COBY CX-8 BLU AM/FM Radio with Built-In Speaker & Earphones (Electronics)
I'm a little disappointed in the reception. I get two or three stations in absolutely clear. The rest are just too staticky. When the battery life starts to fade, I find I *have* to wear it around my neck to get better reception. It serves its purpose just fine for the $6 I paid for it. If it happened to die out in the next few months, I would re-buy it at the same price. It's kind of disposable. A typical Coby product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, December 17, 2007

This review is from: COBY CX-8 BLU AM/FM Radio with Built-In Speaker & Earphones (Electronics)
I have been searching here for a suitable AM radio that I can take with me and this perfectly fits the bill. I love that it has a built-in speaker when I get tired of the earphones, a neck strap and a belt clip. It's small enough to fit in my hand. The best thing is I'm able to tune into my favorite news and talkshows. I bought mine at Longs Drugs they have a lot of these thingies. For me the best less than $10 I have ever made (bought this for $7.99 at Longs)
