Rating : - Not good for even a cheap radio
This is identical to the Kaito KA-208 in every way, inside & out. They're both painted silver gray, not blue like in the KA-208 picture.

Through the speaker & included earphone the sound sounds distorted, scratchy, like over compressed mp3s.

Battery door pops off accidentally just by holding the radio in your hand & trying to tune the thing. Tuning dial is too hard to turn, so you usually jump several stations past the one you want when trying to tune it.

AM & FM reception is bad even a mini or under 10 dollar radio.

It's frail & fragile. Handle with care.

The Coby CX-50 is a far better product in the same price range & size. Better reception, better sound quality, & more solidly built. It has a real metal face & looks cooler too. It's also about 2 MM thinner, & about 1 MM less wide & tall... the smallest AM-FM radio with a built in speaker I've found since the 70s. I paid about 5 bucks for my CX-50.
