An Inexpensive Radio That's Hard to Beat

bycowboyind Aug 27, 2009
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Ultra-low price, excellent audio for a radio of this size, good shortwave performance
Cons Tuning dial hard to read and inaccurate
Recommended it? Yes

It's interesting to note how long this little radio has been on the market -- the reviews span back several years. While a product that's been manufactured for a considerable period of time is not guaranteed to be of high quality, "staying power" does indicate that, for some reason, people keep...

Coby CX-CB12 World Band radio

bywitlesschurl May 18, 2001
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Inexpensive!Lots of SW frequency coverage;good audio;compact.
Cons Poor image rejection on AM and FM(who cares,it's for shortwave);dial backlash.
Recommended it? Yes

Costs only fifteen dollars! Sony, Sangean and the rest want fifty or more for their versions, and they don't play any better. This little set is a well made, handsome radio, that does two things well (for its class); it receives lots of shortwave stations and does so selectively, and it has good... Read full review »

Surprising Quality for Cheap Little Radio

bymediageek Aug 3, 2002
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good shortwave reception, small size, super cheap
Cons poor selectivity
Recommended it? Yes

Like the last reviewer, I picked up this radio for $8 at Big Lots, kind of surprised to find a shortwave radio there for such a price. I'd been looking for a small, cheap portable radio for traveling and carrying around with me outdoors. Most portable radios I've used only pick up the strongest... Read full review »

OK performance, but FM is lacking

bymikeak Mar 22, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Inexpensive, multiband radio
Cons FM performance is very poor if you are close to a FM station
Recommended it? Yes

The Coby CX-CB12 portable radio is an analog multi-band radio that can be had for under $10. At this price you can't expect much, but the question is...is it worth spending any money on this radio?

The radio itself comes in a nice box and it includes a set of ear buds. The radio would be... Read full review »

You won't believe it.

Pros Cheap! Sensitive enough on MW and SW, and excellent audio for its class.
Cons Not-so-hot construction, band switcher is plenty awkward, analog tuner
Recommended it? Yes

The only reason I bought this radio was because I wanted something to carry, say to the lake or something and could afford to lose. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the excellent human-voice audio, and impressive-for-its-class sensitivity.

The band switcher at the bottom of the set... Read full review »

I just purchased the Coby CX-CB12 for 8 bucks at
Big Lots. I used to have a short wave radio ages ago
and have wanted to get another one. However price
seemed to be a deterrent.

I was really surprised at how well this radio works.
I went to radio shack after I bought... Read full review »

Inexpensive Shortwave Solution

Pros Inexpensive for what it is
Cons Poor construction, parts will not last
Recommended it? Yes

Hey for $15 or so bucks how can you beat this? AM/FM, 9 bands of shortwave and a longwave band. Very cool indeed. It does what it says it will do. But there are some problems.
The readout is inaccurate and dialing in the frequency is an art form. Bleedover occurs on to the longwave band from... Read full review »
