I bought this to use for Church meetings. Very loud, buzzing back ground noise and muffled voices. Very disappointed.

After trying out several other cheap “stereo” cassette players from Amazon that all turned out to be just mono, this one has turned out great. It has an actual stereo head, and the playback speed has been just about spot on out of box. If you need to adjust the speed, there’s a small port on the back where you can easily adjust the motor speed with a tiny screwdriver. Wow and flutter is also surprisingly minimal as far as I can tell (practically non existent to my ears, but I’m not the biggest audiophile either).One thing to note is that the azimuth of the head was a little off out of the box, leading to slightly muffled playback. This is also easily adjustable with a small screwdriver. For those who might be unfamiliar, the azimuth adjustment affects how lined up the head is to the tape. So if you find the audio is a little muffled, try turning the little screw next to the head (it should have some red paint on it, there’s also a little cutout for it when the cover is open).The only complaint I might have is that the case closure is uninspiring. It doesn’t really click shut, it just stays closed under spring pressure. No issue really, as it doesn’t affect playback. I guess just try and avoid inadvertently pulling it open while it’s running.Overall, great little player for the price.

The sound quality is excellent.The only drawback for me is the lack of an internal speaker.

I've had this thing for about 2 months, 1.5 of those months being in unworking condition. It was great for the first 2 weeks or so until it started getting this awful crunch, buzz, distorted signal sound that would slowly intercept and blast out any headphones it was connected to. I cleaned the tape heads, adjusted the height and nothing prevented it from distorting and popping. I never dropped it or subjected it to any extreme conditions or water.I don't have the time or knowledge to go out and fix it and I've tried everything I can without disassembling the entire machine. If anybody has a solution to this problem I would love to do that but for now, I don't have an answer as to why this thing has been fried.

Not bad at all. Good sound from the small headphones which came with the player.

I think it is cheaply made and would like to return.

Perfect stereo cassette PLAYER.I bought two of them. Both came rolling over-speed though, around 3.040Hz, simply tunned through its back screw until the standard 3.000Hz.The same mechanism used into "Toshiba/Aurex Walky" model AX-W10C. Also the same as WE ARE REWIND( but this one has adapted metal/brass flywheel ).Non of them allows to record properly, unfortunately, thanks to "permanent-magnet erase head" and "automatic record level", resulting in constant wheezing and noisy distortion. But to playback those are perfect.By far this family, with this mechanism, is nowadays what remains as the best brand new portable cassette player.Five-star fully recommended.

Haven't messed around with the record function but I didn't buy it for recording purposes. Playback is surprisingly good. Sound quality is excellent for the price. If you're looking for a affordable new cassette player and don't want to have to pay a mini fortune for a collectible old walkman, I'd recommend this cassette player.

Sound quality is just barely a 3 as theres no depth to the music and its left sounding high and trebly even with good headphones.Otherwise it does operate as expected.I gave it a 3 for value as when your teenager with 0 responsibility asks to borrow your classic Sony walkman you can say no but here use this instead and when they drop it or forget it in their friends car never to be seen again you haven't lost a classic just a $30. piece of chineseum junk.Therein lies the value of this.

I was quite surprised with the quality of the product, it is plastic of course, but it feels solid enough. At first I thought the window was scratched, but then I found out it was just a little plastic protector.You might have to adjust the speed with the screw in the back, if so I recommend to do it in very small increments.The sound is real stereo (it was difficult to take the photo of the tape head because of reflections, but as you can see it is stereo) and the quality is pretty decent, maybe not the best as some say, but, honestly, you don't expect HQ sound out of a cassette. The only problem I have is with recording, when doing it with the internal microphone quality is ok, you have to speak louder than normal for it to pick it up, but it works. The problem is using an external microphone because you got to turn down the volume of it a lot if you don't want the audio to sound awfully saturated and my unit seems to record more in the right channel than in the left, is quite odd.But overall, it is a nice unit, it even seems to save battery, mine has played around 6 tapes with half charged batteries and is still going. Also, mine hasn't eaten any tapes yet, so my only complaint is with recording with external microphones. I'd say buy it if you want to.
