Summary: Disappointed
Review: Don't be fooled by the picture of the CX-9. The radio doesn't have a smooth, aqua backlight for the LCD. It's actually a rough, uneven green. For what you get, the CX-9's price is too high.

Review: Don't waste your money. I thought that this unit would be really small and compact but it's actually just average. You certainly know it's hanging around your neck. Also, the reception is about as poor as I've seen in a portable.

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: First of all, the casing doesn't look half as good as it does in the picture above. Its finish is much rougher, uneven, and cheap.The radio has poor reception, especially in-building, this is my biggest problem with this unit since it makes it unusable. Furthermore, the volume levels are not spread evenly, hence, the sound is either too loud or two soft (even between one level and the next). Also, you can't navigate the preset channels in both directions (up/down), instead, you must click through the whole cycle (and you can't click fast, cause the unit won't respond).

Summary: Why pay more?
Review: I bought one of these to listen to while working graveyard shift. My requirements were simple and few. To wit, the radio had to receive a few local FM stations with a minimum of interference, a task that it didn't come close to accomplishing. As I found out, it was of shoddy construction, and so susceptible to interference as to be unusable indoors. I didn't get around to testing it's AM capabilities, but consider the fact that you can cram only so large an AM antenna into a device this size. A complete failure from an engineering standpoint, but obviously not from a commercial one; you see these radios dangling from discount racks everywhere, which means people are taking the bait and buying them. That's why it gets two stars instead of one--it retails for only slightly more than it's worth.

Summary: Great bang for the buck
Review: I bought this for work so I could listen to my favorite morning show as I moved around the building. I read some reviews that said it had bad reception in buildings, but I have not experienced that at all. I work in a warehouse, and it comes in very clearly about 80% of the time, and only slightly "fuzzy" the rest. Keep in mind this is FM, I haven't tried AM as I never really use it. I like the 10 memory presets, plenty of room for storing stations you may want to flip through. Holding it the first time and using the buttons was a little weird because the labels are all written sideways, so if you hold it upright like it looks in the photo (which feels more natural), the bottom volume is + and the top volume is -, same with the tuning buttons. You get used to it though. I can't comment on the earbuds because I use my Apple 'buds, but just by looking at them I get the feeling they would not be very comfortable for very long. Anyway, all in all, for the $12 or so I paid through the amazon marketplace + shipping, I am extremely happy with my purchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a portable radio.

Summary: Excellent little radio.
Review: I love this radio. I bought two, one for the house (I use it when I walk the dogs) and one for the car...you know those times when you're listening to something on the radio and you arrive at your destination and you just don't want to miss what's coming next? This radio gets superb reception. I can even pull in the San Diego AM station when other radios were weak. I love that you just hang it around your neck and go about your business. What a concept! Many people don't even realize it's a radio (the earbuds are so small). Sometimes I do use it with headphones for more comfortable listening.

Summary: Nice Portable
Review: I received the Radio Shack-branded version of the same radio for Christmas.
It can fit in your pocket, clip to your shirt or belt, or you can wear it around your neck. It does what it's supposed to, with fairly intuitive controls. The audio quality, though not perfect, is pretty good for a small unit; a bass boost function is included.
It works best outside; using it inside might compromise signal quality and strength, but that is true with every other portable radio of this type I've used. I'd buy it again if it were lost or stolen.

Summary: Not worth it
Review: I wanted this so I could listen to AM radio in the gym, but the reception was terrible. I was surprised since I've used Coby products before and had no problems.
This unit actually works OK outside when jogging, but once indoors, AM reception is very poor.
