 Good Value November 21, 2007
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Good Overall Player, Good Price, Very easy to use, Good FM Tuner and Recorder function that few players have. Only complaints are: 1- the headphones are too big to fit my ears, the cable tends to get very tangled, there is no quick release of the headphone leash to the player
2-The armband came in a cream color that did not match in my opinion the player color, black would have been better.

It is really good for the price.
The 2 GB size is great, especially with the FM radio built in.
Will someone please make one with AM as well.
I do wish that it had a clip on the back in addition to the eye on the top.
You really need a rechargable battery with it.
It goes through the single AAA battery fairly quickly.
Not bad for the price, but forget the "extras"... June 2, 2008

I recently had the opportunity to get two of these through my Pepsi points. The entire checkout process was simple and the shipping was pretty darn quick...I received them in a matter of 2-3 days. The Coby's are packaged nicely, with everything sorted into little baggies that you can reuse if you so desire. Not a bad idea, I think. My MP3 players came with the power cord, headphones, armband and even a battery so you can use your player right out of the box. Now THAT was nice of them! Right away I got to using my players and the accessories. They rate as follows.
Pros: Great size. The Coby is small and light enough to use during physical activities, but not so small that it makes reading the screen difficult. The screen is a decent size and features a pretty good display system. There's a good set of options which even include changing the backlight color. That may not be important to some, but to others, the aesthetics are a plus. The player is pretty durable, my daughter having dropped hers many times over, and yet it still works like new. The 2GB storage is perfect for me and even my daughter, holding a great deal of music. Of course it may not hold your entire music library, but it will certainly hold enough for several hours of listening pleasure, depending on the file size of course. As for the MP3s themselves, you can load your music easily and even sort them into your own created folders if you like. It's really just drag and drop music files. Simple as that.
Cons: The headphones are a waste. Not only do they sound terrible, by the looks of the size of them, they're meant for a giant's ears. So, not only do they sound awful, they're also uncomfortable and they won't stay in your ears. The armband is kinda cheesy. It's a great idea in theory, but with how it's adjustable, there's so much extra "band" that it not only is uncomfortable, but it just looks plain stupid. I don't see many people getting much use out of it, to be honest. On the plus side, the Coby does have a spot to attach a lanyard to it, which would be better than the armband anyway.
All in all, I'd rate this a 4/5. It's definitely worth the price and isn't a bad little MP3 player.
Coby MP-C596 Review July 6, 2008
This player is a super value and ideal for the gym/health club, especially the tunable FM radio feature that enables the user to tune in to the wireless audio broadcast channels for the overhead video screens which are becoming very prevalent. The only caution I will offer is that the ear buds that come with the unit are fairly large (relatively speaking) and some users may find it difficult to keep them in place during workouts. However, The Coby CVE92 ear buds are an excellent addition both from the perspective of fit and sound quality.
great mp3 player July 9, 2008
i got this for my daughter on her birthday since her ipod only lasted for a year and then just quit. she says this one sounds just as good as her old ipod.
