Battery life is very short.Label of switch on the radio can be removed easily.
This portable FM radio claims to be digital which means clear radio stations with no interference from other stations and little or no fading in and out when listening. They're inferior products and not worth a nickle. I bought two of them and found them unacceptable. They fail to meet any of the above expectations and I wish I could return them. Don't waste your money on this radio. Get something better.which should be really easy to do.[[ASIN:B0013UCYUU Coby CX90BLK Digital Pocket AM/FM Radio, Black]
the only reason i bought this thing was so i could listen to talk radio while i'm at work. I've seen people on here complain about the battery life but i haven't had a problem with it. My work often takes me out into the middle of the woods, FAR FAR away from any type of radio/cell phone tower er whatever and i still get the stations that i want to hear. Usually my cellphone will lose signal and i'll have no service on it, however, the radio still functions great. I've listened to it almost every day for a month and haven't changed the batteries once. Sweet radio.
I took a chance on this "off brand" radio - and it was a huge mistake. I wonder how long exactly the mfg. I should have heeded the warnings in these reviews about it being TOO LOUD at the lowest volume setting. IT IS.Yes, can you imagine it not been fixed the moment the first one came off the assemble line. in China has been making this POS knowing the volume control is just about useless. You get what you pay for - the name on it is COBY.
10 hours on a device is too short for my normal usage. I thought I had a dud device, but when I changed the rechargeable batteries with the 1.5V normal alkaline batteries it was working just fine.I needed a portable radio so that I can listen to my news talk radio when I'm nowhere near my computer or in my car. It needs batteries that are 1.5V and rechargeable batteries have voltages that are lower than 1.5V. Something handy if you're using this device in the dark or in a place with dim lighting. Initially I had placed 2 AA rechargeable batteries with 1.2V each in this device and it was not working correctly.
The sound quality is not too bad. So what I do is adjust the volume to around 12 and place this device on the table for easy listening radio on my desktop. My gripe is that the buttons are too similar and it is easy to press the wrong button. I listen to the radio in the mornings and in the evenings.
I've had this radio for about a month now and it is still going with the original 2 AA batteries. I am glad that I have bought this portable radio because it is a great deal for the price. I never need to adjust the volume louder than 1 because with headphones it is loud enough. The battery life was my number one concern that I was looking at when deciding my purchase. Once any button is pressed, the back light comes on for approximately 7 secs. NOTE: Be aware that this device will not work on rechargeable batteries.
It's a little annoying. Weighing at just 0.3 Lbs it is highly portable that fits in my shirt pocket. I was concerned whether this product was worth buying or if I should have spent the extra money on the Sangean DT-180 AM / FM Pocket Receiver with a longer battery life. I'm using a cheap $2 headphone and the quality is good. The volume allows you to adjust the loudness level from 1 to 16.
Sometimes I get headaches if I use headphones for a long period of time.
The LCD screen is a good size at W 7/8" x H 7/8" clearly displaying presets, channel, and volume level.
I think this radio is worth the price.
But this device amazes me.
It's a handy portable device that serves its purpose.
This device serves its purpose.
With a click of a button located on the right it will display the clock, which is a handy feature.
There are numerous times when I wanted to change the band, but end up pressing the save preset button instead.
I have no regrets buying this product.
