 awesome radio for the price June 24, 2008

i needed an AM radio to listen to while at the office and my first choice was the popular SONY ICF-S10MK2 which is a popular purchase here on Amazon.com... that radio was old, clunky, had a huge antennae, poor AM reception, a manual tuner dial so if you touched it you'd lose your station, and had a mono headphone jack so you could only hear sound out of one side (i verified this with 3 different sets of headphones).
the Coby DX-90 on the other hand was $2.00 more, is smaller, sleek, completely digital (no knobs or dials), has a stereo headphone jack (again verified this with 3 sets of headphones), comes with earbuds (that are not very good, but at least they tried), has an internal antennae, and has awesome AM reception.
get this radio, it's more than worth the money, don't get suckered into buying the Sony brand name like I did, you'll regret it.
Unbelievably great for the price..and yes it has FM stereo July 6, 2008

I wasn't expecting much from a radio that's sold for such a low price, but I was pleasantly surprised.
VERY good reception on both the AM and FM band...above average to say the least. I'd even go so far as to say it's comparable (almost as sensitive and selective) to the (well known to long distance radio enthusiasts)Sangean DT200VX AM/FM/TV Portable Pocket-Size Radio at about 1/4 the price.
It's only drawback in that regard is it's lack of a FM mono/stereo switch for fringe aria reception...a small flaw worth overlooking.
It's audio is a bit better than you may expect in this price range(when using a decent set of headphones, of course), but it's nothing to write home about...I'll just call it "sufficient" (i.e. not unpleasant or harsh at all). It also has enough output power to drive a set of larger headphones without any problem as well as flat out rock a set of sensitive buds. Of course the earbuds that come with it are awful..but that's to be expected
All in all I'd say it's a great radio and worth every dime if not twice as much. A real bargain that performs quite well. Don't let the price or the brand name fool ya as it's nothing short of outstanding....especially for it's price class.
I don't know why people aren't writing better reviews, I love my new little AM/FM radio August 5, 2009

I was looking just for a little am/fm radio (the size of a small mp3 player, BUT a RADIO not a mp3 player) to take with me when I jog... I like listening to talk radio which is why I wanted both AM and FM. I don't know why more companies DON'T make both AM and FM - after an exhaustive search on the internet it looks like only a few companies even bother with AM anymore... I bought this little radio not sure what to expect, since the reviews other people were leaving were lukewarm to warm at best... I have no idea why. My radio works great, reception is great, it's plenty loud even on the first volume level, perhaps it's not symphony quality - but even when I tune in a rock channel it comes through loud and clear, certainly the same quality as my car factory stereo.... It did take me a few minutes to figure out how it works (it's pretty simple really) and how to set all the channels... I have already gone out running with it and I have absolutely no complaints. It performs better than I had expected (of course I wasn't sure exactly what to expect but for the price I decided to take a gamble)... If you're looking for what I was, then this is the radio for you!
Better than expected. January 20, 2009

Works great. Easy to use. The included earphones just sit in your ear and fall out easily - I got the Coby CV-E92 earphones which have silicon pads which hold inside your ear. Scans for next station, both up and down. But, it would be nicer if you could select the preset stations directly. As is, you must press Preset 9 times to go to the preceding preset station. The scan function found 17 clear stations in Denver area. No, it doesn't look quite as nice as the picture, but still pretty good. See the customer supplied pictures. Cool, detailed display. Nice clock function and illumination.
Good digital AM Radio September 16, 2009

I was looking for a good digital AM radio to listen to talk radio during things like kids' soccer practice. I hate analog radios, as I can never tune them clearly, and when I do, I'm too scared to change the station at commercial time. With this digital radio, that problem is solved. I haven't yet noticed a problem with battery life as others have noticed. I can listen to my radio stations. I'd hope it would be a bit clearer, like my car radio AM tuner, but this is fine enough to hear the program. The size is nice and small to either leave in my pocket, or hang around my neck by the long loop which comes with it. The price is right. It's not easy to find a handheld AM radio these days, especially one with a digital tuner. There were only a few to choose from, and I'm very happy that I chose this one.
