Quality of FM Radio?

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.

The FM radio is pretty good, you can program it to your desired stations and listen to the ones you want, the COBY MP3610 has a slightly better radio program, but since these are both manufactured by COBY, both are good..Hope I was of help.. :)

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

I my brief encounter with that piece of junk radio, I observed a USB port and a small combination earphone jack, antenna port. This radio has the worst audio quality I have ever heard. I sent it back the day after if was delivered.

I listen to FM nearly weekly and plays very well. Also has the weather band so if bad weather in the area you can get the most recent weather updates. The radio is very easy to operate and the directions to set the clock and preset your favorite stations is easy to figure out.

The radio records mp3's. As far as complaints regarding noise, I don't have that problem, in fact I would have to categorize this as the clearest sounding radio I have ever owned. I wonder if some of the problems that people have are due to the enviroment in which they are using their radios.

We use the FM radio a lot. You can get the local channels. They sound great through the sound system.

You don't have one good radio source in you town? Its better to use an FM station that has a Lil static the sound quality will come out really good.

The speaker itself is incredible! The FM transmitter is not. On every station I tried, the call and music came through with a great deal of static, and there is no AM feature either so if you live in an area with plenty of well-broadcast FM radio stations, it will be difficult to find an FM station not in use. I returned mine I'm fact.

All digital devices (iPods, iPhones, MP3 players, etc.) have to have a DAC -- otherwise you couldn't hear the music. But there are Chevrolets and Cadillacs and Ferraris among them. And the quality of the DAC obviously will determine the quality of the sound you hear. On the Sangean the internet feed will not sound as good as the actual FM signal. But on the other hand, on the Magnum Dynalab MD807 internet tuner (Google it!) which I prefer to listen to, the sound is as good or even better than the actual FM signal. Why? Because of the high-quality DAC and its tube output. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for!

Not too sure about AM - appears to be very good with limited usage, but FM is amazing in quality -- am very happy with this radio

The one good thing about this radio, is its reception. I live just outside a metropolitan area and have had no problems AM or FM.

Perhaps that is true, funny thing is if I listen to a CD or digital off a thumb drive they sound fine. It's the radio that sounds poor. I had only listened to radio when I wrote the review, I should have updated later. I would have to say that for the price they are a very good value and sound fine very good

I listen to AM talk radio so its not to bad with AM. But when listening to FM music you will loose a lot of stereo quality. I do anyway here in Lou,Ky. We are not on flat ground around here. I put my factory antenna back on. I personally don't recommend it.

I'd say mid level: don't have tested with professional tools, based on my experience with radio transmissions ( I'm a HAM radio passionate with 15 years of experience) the quality is adequate at hobby level and corresponds to the price you pay for the transmitter.

Superior audio reproduction for mp3 devices especially when compared to "dedicated" external speakers in same price range. I have not had much success with getting a strong radio signal so listen to radio online via mp3 device, its a convoluted way to do it but it works for me as the sound quality is so good.

Where I live I do not receive FM very well. I use it primarily with my cell connected to Pandora.
