Coby IR850 Internet Radio

 

Maxell’s Encore EN-5 offer a rich, full sound for an affordable price, beating out nearly all of the headphones in the test. However, our testers didn’t think they were very comfortable, nor did this pair do a good job staying put during use....

nbsp ; Excellent sound quality ; Adjustable ; Can withstand multiple drops ; Water-resistant ; Light weight and wraps up tightly for easy portability

nbsp ; Didn’t take much force to remove the headphones during our force test ; Consumer testers didn’t find them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time ; Didn’t always stay put during use for our consumer testers

DOA out of the box. i had high hopes for this unit. The screen froze upon programming and would not reset. Called COBY and they said there was nothing they could do, so I am returning it.

Perfecto

 

This is a bargain and not to be overlooked. I've seen units that do exactly the same thing for over $400 and in short, this unit is all the wifi radio you could ever want. It sets up seamlessly with no work at all... and it has a zillion channels for...

A really nice thing for my Swedish husband to use to listen to Swedish radio! It was very easy to set up, intuitive and direct, and it\'s just as easy to use.

I like it!

 

This radio took the place of 3 items next to my bed: an AM\/FM radio {AM reception was poor], a CC WiFi Radio, and a alarm clock. This unit works faster then the CC WiFi Radio.
