Pros: great for the price!

Cons: sound not adequate for serious music

The Coby cx-144 is great for what it is: a low-priced cassette recorder AM-FM radio. I use it to record and play back my favorite "talk radio" programs.

from Yahoo.com Pros: great for the price! Cons: sound not adequate for serious music The Coby cx-144 is great for what it is: a low-priced cassette recorder AM-FM radio. I use it to record and play back my favorite "talk radio" programs. from Yahoo.com This cassette recorder records only from its radio, not from any outside source -- no mic or mic jack. The product description implies otherwise. from Amazon.com the sound is fair. The buttons are kinda cheap. I have seen better made cassette players for the same money. For the office it is fine. from Amazon.com Another buzzed heavily on a.c., giving off an odor of melting plastic. The one exchanged 6/11? The cassette portion went dead-wouldnt rewind, play or record. When these work, the quality is okay, and it is hard to buy a unit like this without an obtrusive cd player. from Amazon.com I purchased two of this type cassette player am fm radio of different brands to allow me have them in different parts of the house at a reasonable price. The quality is as expected, received promptly, as described and pleased with this transaction. from Amazon.com Can't beat the price. Why pay more for a boombox that has a CD or stereo sound, if you don't need it. These days, it's difficult to find any boombox that plays cassettes - I looked at lots of stores. I'm very happy with this purchase. from Amazon.com I purchased this cassette player for my son, so we could listen to his books on tape in the car since I only have a CD player in my car. The sound quality is so poor, you can hardly understand the words. from Amazon.com I really urge everyone to stay far away from this product if you value your cassettes. The one I purchased mangled the first cassette I put in (an irreplaceable one - how could I have been so silly as to put it in without testing the player?). from Amazon.com but, the coby is perfect for what it is: an inexpensive, lightweight, portable radio/recorder. from Yahoo.com
