I've played with this antenna more than actually listen to the radio. But the only annoying thing I cannot get rid of the AM type static of hearing stations in the background off. You won't know if you try it first. As far as the radio goes, I don't recommend this product if you live in a Dorm but good for home room and apartment use if you live in an actual city.
I got this stereo as a Christmas gift last year and if I had to rate between, poor good and excellent, I would give it a good. I wish radioes would stay with the "silver stick" antenna where all you had to do was turn of the stereo not like these wire antennas where you have to reposition constantly. I will admit its better than the portable radios I've reviewed but I honestly think the reception on this thing could be better. CD is pretty good but the radio reception is something different.
If you live further away a higher quality receiver maybe better. Is anyone having issues with these wire antennas. Have to hear majority of radio stations in Mono because the static with the FM is too loud. Have to reposition the antenna in 3 different places just to hear the radio.
Overall pretty good system, but if your not satisfied with the sound, do what I did. The system actually held up(which impressed me) and could take the sound produced by the speakers. I got this stereo one christmas, and the speakers weren't as powerful as I thought. I got some stereo system speakers and hooked them up in the available jacks it has in the back.
fits in small places, which is what I was looking for. I like that is has a remote to control the basics. Our room is not quite set up that way,but fits perfectly on top of our small bookcase. Cannot imagine where I would hang in on wall. Cannot read the clock, hardly, way to small.The remote does not control the tuner or to switch to the cd player. Only the power volume and skipping tracks, stop and play, but in order to play the cd player has to already be in cd mode.The quaility if great and the design is awsome.
Great and easy to handle product.Reception of radio not as good as wished for but CD player works fine and is a bargain deal if you are in need of something good for your work or kitchen area.
what do you expect from a system that only costs about $40. It works fine now. I like how it doesn't take up too much space (although the speakers are a little bulkier than the main box).
This was annoying because I had to fiddle around with the wire until the sound came through, instead of just plugging it in like normal speakers. I also don't like how there is no display showing the current volume level. While setting it up, the wire actually broke on one connection, so I had to strip it down to get more surface so I could connect the speaker.
This coby stereo has a really modern, slim look to it. One is that the connection between the speakers and the main box is bare wire. On the other hand, the remote has a decent range of reception, and the aux port is good for attaching my mp3 player.
The sound quality is alright. There are two things that I dislike about it.
