Best sound quality in portable audio and video

Sound quality was tinny when using cassette tape, possibly because there was only one speaker. The tuning disc got stuck and had to be moved.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Not all fit

My mom agrees!❤️

I'm buying this for my 89 year old beautiful mom for her birthday. She loves music and still has cassettes. Well she loves it.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Weight

Don't try it with headphones

If you want to listen to the tape recorder with headphones, forget it. Even at maximum volume, the sound coming out of the headphone jack is barely audible. Very disappointing as the rest of the phone is pretty well made.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • No paint required

Destroyed Cassette Tapes

This dump destroyed 3 cassette tapes that used to belong to a recently deceased grandmother. From the looks of it, the tapes themselves were in excellent condition prior to being used in this unit. Not impressed. sending a refund.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Dubious Purchase for Old People

He ate my ribbon! for ghettoblaster

I bought this because my husband who died a month ago was a singer and I just got the cassettes from the warehouse. I thought it would be ideal to watch the recordings and burn them onto CDs later, this particular recording was my favorite because my husband and I were singing in our band at the time. Victrola ate it so badly I had to take it to a pro, shame they had to splice it. I hope that at least some of them will be returned to me.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Cassette player problems

I buy to play cassettes. My cassettes play fine in my car radio but the first cassette I played on this Victrola was chewed through by this cassette player. When in doubt, I tried playing a different cassette. It worked, but when I flip the tape to play side 2, the play button reappears like it can't play side 2. That's when I noticed that the eject button sometimes didn't work and the cassette compartment wouldn't open.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Some errors

Nice cassette player

Decent price Sleek design Awesome mechanics inside Holds my cassettes securely (I use cassettes that are over 40 years old and they're fine) Others have commented that the sound isn't amazing but c'mon folks, it's a small boombox device that doesn't cost $500, so it sounds typical of a boombox. The bass is perfectly matched to what I want to use it for, other features like BT and radio functions work very well. For me it was a great purchase.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • little things

Cheap and easy way to finally use my cassettes

Sound just ok not great. This is an inexpensive single speaker deal, that's to be expected. It's small, but I'm giving it one star for portability simply because it requires D batteries or a cord and outlet - no way to charge. The fact that it has bluetooth, batteries or a cable makes it a home appliance and most people have a better bluetooth speaker than this one. I find it aesthetic, retro, etc. and it has a USB plug. And an AM/FM antenna if you need NPR or sports radio. Despite its…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Slim and portable!

I love the size and spaciousness of this radio. Good for intimate small rooms with audio projection; as a cozy living room, kitchen or bedroom. Of course, it's not as loud as other portable speakers for big parties! The radio tuning knob is a little tricky to find the exact radio station, but I'm used to that old fashioned style of turning the knob until the radio is clear of all the clutter! (I'm not sure most radio users are happy with that at the moment). For me it's nostalgia! The cassette…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Out of fashion
