Coby CX-7 AM/FM Radio

Pros: Very inexpensive, bass boost, analog tuner & volume.

Cons: Fragile plastic. poor shielding allows allows too much interference.

The Bottom Line: Buy it. If you don't want to spend much money on a pocket radio, this one works as well as some more expensive radios.

Pros: Small and lightweight

Cons: Reception is not the best, Dial makes it hard to tune in

The Bottom Line: If your looking for a cheap radio for working out then this is great. Just don't expect it to be a super stereo.

Review: I started working out at the gym recently and wanted to pick up a cheap radio. The gym I'm at has numerous TV's and you pick up the sound for the TV by tuning into a specific frequency.

Now I didn't want to use a bulky walkman or CD-Man so...

Pros: Small, Light Weight

I recently purchased a Coby CX-7 am/fm Radio Receiver. I am very disappointed in this piece of junk. First the belt clip broke off...

Pros: Nice looking, in many different colors and it's small and it has a neck strap.

Pros: Size, price

Pros: Small and Cheap

Cons: Cheap = Junk, terrible reception

Review: I got this because its tiny, cheap, and I thought it would be perfect to use when I worked out. Well, two out of three ain't bad, right? The reception sucks. I found it impossible to isolate one single station at a time. Unless you have the dexterity ...
