Customer reviews

« COBY CX39 »

These looked like an ideal candidate for Christmas gifts as they are priced quite competitively. Purchased a total of 14, in two separate orders. When the first two units were received we were amazed at the fidelity of this very small radio - and still enjoy listening. The case composition and construction is what you would expect and is of decent quality - as is fit and finish. The manufacturer needs to put a little more work into the digital tuner which is not as accurate as might be expected - with most AM and FM stations being far off their frequencies. Tuner issues aside - this is an enjoyable radio, compact and very portable - and is very much at home in the venue of sporting events, picnic's, the beach and camping. Overall, we rate this as THUMBS UP and are comfortable in recommending it.

« digital tuning display -not digital tuning »

A much better buy is Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver. It is way smaller and gets better reception. I own both radios but only use my sony now for news and talk radio in the kitchen. Needs no plug in.

« Junk »

I was willing to ignore the bad reviews others gave this radio but after using it for a couple weeks it is truly a piece of junk. I plan to send it back for a refund since it doesn't function close to its description. Coby should take it off their product line. It is difficult to tune and then drifts. The antenna won't move to tune and then broke off. It is simply a bad product. The digital display is a joke and meaningless. i don't know why they even put it on the radio.

« Coby AM/FM radio review »

Item works fine. Perfect for our picnics by the house or in the park. If you do not need playing CDs or iPODs, or any other MP3 player, this radio is for you to deliver local music and news.

« Hate this radio - don't buy »

I bought this radio two months ago. Already the volume dial is not working. I paid $7 for shipping the first time, now I have to pay to ship it back to Coby and then pay another $6 to have them ship it back to me. All for an $8 radio.
Very cheap material used, low quality.
