📻 CX-8 BLU AM/FM Radio with Built-In Speaker & Earphones by COBY (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Review

Like good reception; Fine tuning radio stations takes some practice. Stereo headphones sound cheap; So I recommend buying a branded product. Sony headphones have really improved the sound quality. The built-in speaker also sounds cheap. Practical neck strap and betting clip make carrying easier. It also looks great. Overall this is excellent value for money.

I'm a bit disappointed with the reception. I get two or three stations absolutely clean. The rest is too static. When the battery life goes down, I *have* to wear it around my neck to improve reception. For the €6 I paid for it, it does its job perfectly. Should it die out in the next few months I would buy it again for the same price. It's kind of disposable. A typical Coby product.

Let's face it, this is a great value product and you shouldn't expect much. But the value for money is ok. Pros: Compact design, can use speakers or headphones, neck strap, belt clip. Cons: Reception isn't very good at all, it only picks up strong stations, and even that isn't very good. The speaker quality is very mediocre. Bottom line: if you want quality, spend $40 and get the Sangean. But for the price I won't complain.
