 Pretty good radio April 20, 2004
Matthew Clark (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
I've had my radio for about three years now and it's a pretty good value. The radio is quite light and is easy to carry while exercising. It comes with a belt clip or a special cord which allows you to hang the radio from your neck. Radio reception is pretty good on both AM and FM. Battery life is pretty good.
The included earphones are adequate, but you may find them to be a little uncomfortable for long periods of time as they are not "sculpted" to the shape of the ear. I personally use my own.
Overall, due to its light weight and good radio reception, this radio is highly recommended if you like to listen to the radio while exercising.
 Fantastic Price! January 27, 2005

I just received my little radio yesterday and was very happy! It is small enough to wear during my workouts at the gym and the sound is pretty good. It has a neck strap which is convenient. The prices on some other portable audio is outrageous. This is a great deal for 8 dollars. I'll probably get them in other colors as well!
Prop 65 Warning is Disturbing April 11, 2006

The CX-9 I just received has the warning:
"PROP. 65 WARNING:
Handling the coated electrical wires of this product exposes you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after use."
This is a bit disturbing.
 Intermittent reception March 2, 2006

I have not been impressed with the reception of this radio. As another reviewer stated, the antenna seems to be the wire of the earbuds. For me, this causes radio stations to have a rythmic swish of loud static as the cord swings while I run. I've tried putting the cord under my shirt, which stops the rhythm of the static, however, there is still a lot of static at times. It seems to be related to which cardinal direction I am facing and how the radio is oriented on my shorts. Last, the radio will sometimes just seem to lose a station... not matter how finely I turn the little dial, I simply can't get it to come in clearly. And for me, reception indoors is simply awful. All in all, it's highly annoying and I would gladly pay triple what this radio costs for one that could lock onto a station clearly.
 Terrible reception August 24, 2005

I had a terrible experience with this radio--the reception was so bad nothing came in on FM. The FM antenna is built into the headphone wires so you have to play with the position of the wires. Not worth it even if they gave it to me! I returned it to the store within hours.
