I use this to listen to the news in the shower. It's adequate for that purpose, but the TV and SW bands have never seemed to work. It's also very difficult to tune as the indicator is almost invisible. Nobody expects audiophile quality in a cheap pocket radio, so it's no surprise that the loudspeaker is good only for AM news and talk shows. The mono sound is decent enough for music if you use headphones or ear buds.

We use this to take to the beach with us in the summer. It is also nice to have during bad weather since it is battery powered. Small, lightweight.

I like this radio and it's better than the cheap Sony with better volume control, audio, antenna design, and size. In addition the Coby picks up a few TV stations, and a weather station or two. The tuning is a little more finicky than the Sony but it is still worth the six dollars I spent.

Nicer volumetric dimensions than the usual transistor radio, but my antenna fell out after just a month or two.

Curiously you rarely get what you do pay for either. Ah capitalism... what a great ruse.

Wow. I was surprised at how much this costs on Amazon. I borrow this sometimes from a coworker to get thru the night. It looks like it's worth about $20. It gets only a very few stations in clearly. ONe weak R&B station that I like listening to will come in on this unit but another channel will also come in over it from time to time. Will do, but would not pay $60 for this.
