It is blue tooth so you can use better listening ear devices and at a fair price also it reverses.

No graba en memoria USB, material de mala calidad, audífonos de mala calidad, son desechables, no cumple con las características mostradas en página, no lo compren, hay que comprar pilas recargables, funciona solo al conectarlo a la computadora, es como tirar su dinero a la basura, gasto más en regresarlo que en obtener mi dinero de vuelta, calificación del producto -5 estrellas.

It does what it says, a tape player with auto reverse, bluetooth, and an aux jack.However, it is impossible to disable the bluetooth, so it will eat AAs like no tomorrow. This is not suitable as a walkman unless you want to carry a bulk pack of AAs on your person.The amp inside doesn't get very loud, but can be pushed if using an external stereo.Sleek, nice looking, but cheap for a reason: pretty much requires the DC adapter for any use case

Only drawback was unless you used headphone jack you can't hear what's on the cassette until you play the MP3.

This is a piece of junk, don’t waste your money. Yes, it plays tapes, barely. The sound quality is horrible. Bluetooth is crackly, the headphones are awful. There’s no point to this if the sound is this bad. I can’t recommend for any reason.

Las cintas magnéticas tenía un estimado de vida de 10 años. Por lo que cualquier cinta “ya es un milagro que suene”. Aunque el aparato es “plasticoso” y se siente frágil, graba bastante bien y es fácil de usar.

Per other comments, I tried this with several thumb drives, (256k, 512k, 8gb, 16gb) correctly formatted as FAT32. No flashing ready light. No recording. Followed instructions carefully. Nothing.Playback was poor quality. I tried a few different tapes. Home recorded or commercial cassettes had equally bad sound.Playback worked best with USB plugged into PC for power. Two AA batteries didn't work well, and they were very hot when I pulled them out.I'm returning the device after several very unhappy hours.

Took me a while to fully understand how to use this device. First off, it will NOT work with USB flash drives larger than 32GB. It will go through the motions and flash the correct lights, but nothing will be recorded. The 32GM max is nowhere mentioned in the user guide.The labels on the numerous buttons are all but illegible. At least the "cassette operate buttons," on the outside of the case on the side where the large PLAY button is located, are identified in the user guide. But the tiny black "convert operate buttons" are not. Their purposes are listed but their placement is not specified. I needed a flashlight and a magnifying glass to make out which buttons were which.There are two volume controls. One is a thumbwheel on the end of the unit next to the USB port. The second is a pair of + and - buttons among the black "convert operate buttons." I have no idea, and the manual does not explain, the difference between the two sets. I did not discern any difference when trying to use the black + and - buttons, so I simply use the thumbwheel to control the playback volume, and this controls the volume being recorded. Tip: Don't set the volume too high or your recording will be "clipped" and distorted. Better to record with the volume slightly lower than optimal and adjust it in software.The device includes an "auto mode" that is supposed to be able to divide the separate cuts on your tape into separate files. I found it to be unreliable. In many cases, it recorded multiple cuts into one file. In other cases, it clipped off the first note or two of the song before recording commenced. I use the default "manual mode" and use my editing software (I use the highly versatile Goldwave) to separate the cuts. If you haven't set the unit's volume control just right, you will also need to use the software to maximize the volume.The transfer quality is fine, almost better than expected for the price. I did notice on a few tapes I had to adjust the channel balance, but because on most tapes is was fine, I suspect the problem was in the original recording.I suggest you not use batteries; they wear out too quickly. Also I recommend you not power the unit from the USB port on your computer. I found this generated a sort of "beating" electrical interference. Instead, I use a USB power converter, the kind that comes with a cell phone, to power the USB power cord. Keep the unit away from the computer and your cell phone if possible to avoid the interference.All in all, a very useful device to convert to digital all those old cassette tapes sitting on your shelf that you haven't listened to in years. The auto-reverse works just fine, so you can convert an entire cassette in just one operation.

Records cassette tape or aux input to a USB flash drive having the standard full size male type A connector. No computer is required. The audio quality is good. It can play and record in either direction and has the auto reverse feature. It can be powered either by two AA batteries or by using an included cable for providing 5V 500 mA power from a USB ac adapter (not provided) or from a USB port on a computer. I only used 5V 500 mA power from a 2 A 5 V ac adapter. I do not recommend using AA batteries. Typically alkaline AA batteries only have a capacity of 860 to 1200 mA-h. Furthermore, their voltage drops substantially as they are used and thus the usable capacity is actually much less than this. It can automatically detect individual songs or just record everything until the stop button is pressed. I have only used the manual mode, which requires that one watch for the stop and reverse after both sides have been played. Also, I haven't tried recording using the AUX port and a 3.5 mm audio cable (not provided) connected to the line out from another source. There are also included ear buds with the 3.5 mm stereo phono plug. In addition to accepting the FAT and FAT32 formats, it also accepts the exFAT format, which means that one can use an SD, mini SD, or micro SD card with the appropriate adapter.HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS: There is a sliding release on the end where the USB flash drive plugs into. In order to record, first press the large PLAY button on one of the long edges (which also has the STOP REW F.F. and DIR buttons as well as the switch for two-sided operation). The REC button is one of the six tiny black buttons on one side (the opposite side has the window through which one sees the cassete tape). The REC button is the second tiny black button from the end into which one plugs the USB flash drive. It has O LL embossed onto it. Pressing the tiny black REC button once causes the light by those buttons to blink continuously and recording takes place. Pressing it again causes recording to pause (but the cassette tape keeps turning) and the light stops blinking and just stays continuously on. Never remove the USB flash drive while recording is taking place. The USB flash drive may become corrupted.
