Customer Reviews
Coby Boombox Ok, not so boomy. 
2008-06-25
The Coby CX-CD282 Boombox has a muted boom (it's ok, but not earth shattering), fairly convenient controls and an adequate CD and tape player. I was somewhat disappointed with the analog AM/FM tuner, it didn't pick up as many stations as a cheaper radio, and the stereo effect was not obvious, but since that wasn't the primary reason for my purchase, I'm not going to complain. Sound quality was adequate, but not outstanding. Tone controls primitive.
AM-FM 
2008-06-05
The AM-FM receiver in this unit is the worst i've ever used, the tuner itself is totally useless except for the closest and strongest stations, even they are hard to tune in. I would rate the tuner at one-fourth of a star just because it can make static..........
Poor quality for the money 
2008-05-09
I found this CD player to be poor quality for the money. The sound produced is thin and not resonant.
Coby CX-CD282 - For $50 this product is worth the price 
2007-11-08
For $50 the Coby CX-CD282 Portable CD/Radio/Cassette Player is a good toy. It plays the CDs and cassettes as well as any other higher priced units. I plan to use this in my car with a DC to AC inverter rather than pay $350 to replace my car radio.
bad product 2007-09-09
We purchased a Coby boombox. Everytime we turned up the volumn, the cd would skip. We tried this several times and it was always the same. We returned it and received another one. It did the same thing. I called Coby and they said the Boombox was defected so we had to send it back again! If the product was defected, then why are they selling it?????

You get what you pay for. 2007-07-26
I was excited when this beautiful piece of equipment arrived...meticulously packed and delivered in record time! My excitement diminished however when I first listened to its output. Compared to my old boombox with the sticky cd drawers the sound was shallow and kind of annoying, both for music and speaking voices. I'm not sure what the bass booster is all about - I didn't hear much bass. In the end I used my old unreliable player with the better sound. Now...of course I'm being very picky. I'm a musician and now realize that if I had wanted really good sound quality I should have purchased a look-alike model for $250. For its $50 pricetag this is probably still quite a nice package.
PORTABLE CD/RADIO/CASSETTE PLAYER (COBY) 2007-05-06
THIS PLAYS VERY WELL. I LOVE IT. I BOUGHT AN OPTIONAL EARPLUG FOR PLAYING - AS YOU KNOW IT MAKES THE SOUND EVEN NICER! (IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.) IT'S A BIT BIG BUT I GAVE IT A SHELF OF ITS OWN IN MY BOOKCASE AND IT DOES QUITE NICELY. EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE IS INCLUDED. TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS ONE, ANYTIME.
Way too big and heavy 2007-01-11
For what I needed, too large. Unfortunately, size was not in discription. They offered a return for credit on another item, however, I paid 13.75 shipping, will pay that much back & new shipping is 9.75. Plus the smaller unit is 10.00 more.
Good Buy 2006-11-05
Unit boasts large speakers. The sound is above average, although there isn't much bass. A traditional analog (nondigital) tuner makes it easier to change stations or to scan stations quickly. One drawback is that the unit does not play MP3 files burned to a CD. Contains a built-in microphone for tape, which is a virtual rarity these days. The draw of the unit is it's crystal clear sound, although I would prefer just a bit more bass.
