Coby HDR700 Portable HD Radio System (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using the product for a few weeks now. I've noticed that there are differences in performance depending on the situation. I'm not sure if this is due to the product itself or if it is HD radio itself that is to blame. Here is what I've noticed:
1) I primarily listen to AM radio, but when I listen to FM radio, the HDR-700 mostly performs as I expected. There is an easily noticable sound quality difference between the HD and regular radio, but it's not huge. Only stations that are already almost completely static free will come in HD.
2) On my AM radio stations, when the unit locks into the HD signal, the difference is pretty amazing. I can't normally get any AM radio station to be completely static free, but this easily does that and more WHEN IT GETS A HD SIGNAL
There is one major problem. The DC adaptor that powers the until when not in battery mode severely interferes with the radio's reception. Severely. When the unit is plugged into the wall - the reception is so bad that a 100,000 watt station 50 miles from my house does not come in at all. However, as soon as it is on battery power, it works great.

RCA Opal 8 GB Video MP3 player with 1.8-inch Display, FM Radio, and Voice Recording. - Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have two of these since Christmas, and have had none of the problems described! In fact, I read some negative reviews after purchasing, and was hoping I wouldn't have the same problems, and it's now April and so far, so good!
It has a great screen, great sound, is easy to use, has loads of storage, etc... We bought a case and rarely take it out, perhaps that has kept it safe... but has been dropped a few times and still don't have any problems. In fact we plan to buy another one, as it's a great value - it has a voice recorder, video, great long-lasting battery, FM radio, etc... and so it's a great value for the money.
We haven't used the software, we just transfer music via Explorer, so perhaps all the problems are from the software??
Anyway, I'm no mp3 player expert, but have to highly recommend this... Just based on other reviews, maybe don't use the software?!

Coby CS-MP150 Digital Alarm Clock Radio with iPod Docking System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this alarm clock because it looked like it had a support for the ipod. Reviews for other models say the connection breaks off over time, so I thought this would be a better design. It actually turns out the little back support doesn't come in contact with my ipod. Not a big deal, but slightly disappointing. The other thing is the light display. It is pointed at an angle that makes it tough to read on any surface equal to or higher than my bed. Similarly, the lighting on the time display is horrible. The back - light is way too bright. I have decided to keep the light off and use my old alarm clock for the clock. The ipod functions and alarm works really well so I am not going to return it, but I probably would buy something else if I had a chance to do it over.

Coby Mini FM Scanner Radio with Neck Strap CX61 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It keeps trying to jump up to the next frequency. Sometimes it will jump back down again, but other times it has to be reset.
I have used scanning digital radios before (cheaper than this one) and didn't have this problem. At first I thought it was a reception problem, but when it happened on strong signals as well as weak, and seemingly at random, I knew there was no hope for this radio.
I like the neckstrap and I use it with a different radio.

Coby CX-CD377 Micro CD Stereo System with AM/FM Tuner with Digital Display and Line-in Input (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sorry, but this is not a good investment. Even at 40 bucks. Poorly designed and speakers are junk. Offer better speakers and adjust price downward, because fidelity is not good. Unit is just too big for what is does. In my view it has questionable electronics. Has a hum when nothing is coming out of it. May be a suspect power transformer...who knows?. It has an input for MP3, but no line out for perhaps better speakers. No headphone jack. Not very versatile. As far as I'm concerned, this is not a true microsystem. Has Limited capability. Pay the extra and get a SONY.
