The Coby CX-49 combines a stereo cassette player with an AM/FM receiver, providing multiple listening options for a rock-bottom price tag.

This is a basic cassette deck, and the analog tuner can prove to be a bit difficult for tuning in less powerful stations. To conserve battery power, the CX-49 has an automatic shutoff that activates when it gets to the end of a cassette side.

Instead of an armband or removable clip, the CX-49 has an integrated belt clip, and it comes with basic but reliable headphones. It runs off of two AA batteries, or an optional 3-volt DC jack can power the unit. This is a very simple cassette player, but it performs its functions well.

Anyone looking for an uncomplicated but competent player would be wise to save a few bucks and pick up the Coby CX-49.
