Portable Cassette Player Tape Recorder. Record to Cassettes via Mic or Aux in. Built-in Speaker to Listen to Cassettes. Includes External Mic, Aux in Cable and AC Adapter

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is what you remember from years ago for a tape recorder/player. Although it does have a microphone that comes with it, which I guess is an upgrade. The price point for this product was great and it’s a good solid good quality tape player. I recommend this product.

FANTASTIC ITEM !! THE MICROPHONE IS VERY SENSATIVE & PICKS UP ANY SOUND FROM A LONG DISTANCE. EASY TO USE & LOUD VOLUME. GLAD I BOUGHT THIS ONE FOR SURE ! UPDATE : 5/31/2026 NOW IT WON'T RECORD & SPEAKER DOESN'T WORK ( TRIED PRE-RECORDED TAPES TO TEST IT ). DIDN'T EVEN LAST A YEAR.

If all you want to do is play back cassettes you've already recorded on another device, this product will probably suffice. But forget about trying to RECORD with it and capture a clean recording. It is terrible. There is a loud HISS sound in the background that obscures much of what is recorded. I tried it with the microphone it came with, and also an external device that can be plugged into the AUX input. The result was the same. Very bad. I suspect this so-called recorder does not come with any sort of noise suppression built in, the result being you will get unwanted, overwhelming hiss and not a clean recording. This is not "normal" tape hiss; this is something much worse. I realize this is a very inexpensive device, but in reading some of the other reviews for this product from people who rave about how great this machine is, I went ahead and ordered one. That was a mistake. I am surprised anyone would think this can capture a good recording without extraneous noise in the background. BTW, I used a good quality, new cassette -- in fact, two of them -- and the result was the same. By contrast, I used an old machine I was getting ready to retire and it recorded beautifully WITHOUT any hiss. (But my old machine has a problem rewinding, hence I bought this one). I cannot in good conscience recommend this device and now if I seek a refund it will probably count against me. But in my line of work I routinely need to record interviews I do and this "Deluxe" recorder will not do the job.

Very easy to use

The product works great as expected but when it's connected via AC adapter and also connected to my PC via 3.5mm from the headphone port to my PC's mic port I get a horrible buzzing sound that makes the device unusable. A solution was using a ground loop isolator and that completely fixed the issue and it's perfectly silent when I need it to be. It's just a shame because the last one I had that I replaced this one with didn't need this additional hardware.

Great cassette player. Exceptional customer service!

I just wanted a player to play old cassettes I have, some 40 years old. The audio sounded good to my ears. However, I could not use the new rechargeable lithium batteries coming out now. Bad sound! I tried Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries instead with good results. For 21 dollars, the audio was very good! This was my experience only.

This is my second review of the worthless cassette player. Apparently my first review entitled "Buyers Beware" was erased. So, here I go again! I received my player poorly wrapped and simply mailed in a box between to cardboard holders that did not secure the safe delivery of the unit. When I took the cassette player out of the box a piece inside was rattling as I moved the unit. It was missing the mic piece and the play back button didn't work. It is useless! I tried to get a replacement and the company placed a "no replacement" flag in Amazon's system. I received a refund and now I am stuck with something that doesn't work. Good luck to future buyers!!

Excelente producto

Funciona para escuchar cassettes, el eliminador de baterias es efectivo; el cassette que viene incluido fue usado para probarlo y grabar, aunque genera algo de ruido blanco esta bien para grabar cositas y notas, el microfono externo para reemplazar el integrado funciona de maravilla y el cable auxiliar para grabar algo como radio o audio de celular, el audio debe estar en un volumen adecuado en el externo para que el auxiliar detecte sin problema, el boton de grabar se atora un poco pero no hay broncas 4 de 5 estrellitas yeii :D

This product is a total waste of Money. When it is switch on it makes a whining noise and it’s impossible to hear the prerecorded tapes. If you try to record anything all it records is the screeching noise. Don’t waste your money

mete mucho ruido

No sé si el aparto viene dañado pero el ruido que mete lo deja inusable, incluso empeora si conectas el micrófono. Utilicé la fuente que viene incluida y probé distintos cassettes y siguió igual.
