Gracioso Small Cassette Tape Player with AM FM Powered by DC or AA Battery

This is a quality classic cassette player. Paired with a good set of earphones the music sounds amazing. My grandson watched the movie Guardians of the Galaxy and wanted to be like the main character Peter who listens to tapes on a retro cassette player just like this one. Uses AA batteries and also has AM/FM radio.

Ordered this for my brother for a birthday present, he loves it. I also have a second in my cart, because this is great to have for the AM/FM radio battery operated & portable during hurricane season in Florida. Would recommend, and would purchase again. Good quality. Also came with headphones.

The built-in mic is not very good, but it gets the job done. It does come with a mic, also not great quality but also gets the job done. The sound quality from recording with their mic (built-in or attachable) results in a retro vibe, albiet a kind of mid-quality retro vibe. The speaker is bad. I was also able to record from my computer (Spotify) onto a Type I cassette using a 3.5mm male-to-male cord. It had pretty goodsound quality (for a Type I cassette), no adjustments to the equalizer needed. However, I also tried with Type II cassette; the same sound settings gave much much worse quality. I also tried changing the equalizer and volume; it helped, but not much. I didn't try with Type IV. Also worth noting that there doesn't seem to be any effective sound-suppression system, so the cassette hiss is very present. It's less noticable when you turn the cassette player's own volume lower. I would reccommend this if you're just looking for an affordable, easy-to-use cassette player to do things like make a mixtape with moderately good quality sound on a standard cassette. If you're looking to use better cassettes or you don't like tape hiss, I would look somewhere else. (Also I tried the radio, and it didn't work. But I also didn't try very hard and I live in a big city with lots of concrete so it wasn't gonna work anyways)

A lot of great features in a fairly small package; and at a very good price point! It does a fine job of cassette playback, though I've not tested the record function. It comes with an external mic, as well as a pair of earbuds. Higher-quality headphones can improve your experience. Note that playback is simulated stereo, not real two-channel stereo. The radio works well on both AM and FM. Tuning is a bit tricky, as just a small movement of the thumbwheel scoots across the dial pretty fast. The internal speaker, a rarity on a machine this small, does a credible job. Unlike the slightly-smaller Walkman, a group can listen-in with plenty of volume. Certainly not hi-fi, but good for books on tape, sports or casual music listening. Seems to run a good long time on 2 inexpensive AA batteries. A great travel companion! Recommended.

Great cassette player--I've had it for over a year, dropped it multiple times, and it's still chugging along. The audio quality isn't anything to write home about (for both speaker and earbuds), but it's perfectly serviceable. The radio also isn't the clearest/most precise, but fine for tuning in to local stations. The provided mic is mid at best--I used a male male aux cord to record things off my laptop; again, audio quality is just fine, but that's all I needed it to be. Both plug in and battery power sources have worked fine, though I haven't really tested how long it lasts off of battery only. It's not high-end by any means, but it's perfectly functional at a decent price.

I bought this cassette player. The radio is too static no matter what channel you listen to. I try to play tapes, but they drag… even though you have an antenna it still doesn’t work … it’s a cute little radio with a cassette player in it. It’s just sad. It doesn’t work that well..

QUALITY RADIO!!! So…after purchasing 2 other brands of radios and having to them back because they were junk, I decided to order the CR-318. Even though it’s made in China, this radio has by far THE BEST AM/FM reception of any radio its side sold anywhere online. I worked in radio 34 years…so I should know. For $27.00, I would buy 2-3 more. I was very pleased with this radio.

I have only used it a handful of times and it worked fantastic but it randomly broke and won't play my tapes anymore

Bought this for my 77 year old mother who had old cassettes she wanted to listen to. She loves it and can’t top saying how happy she is with it for its quality.

Works great, does exactly how it is advertised. My first one, out of nowhere, stopped working, but when I contacted customer service, I got a new one for free. They were very helpful and replied very fast.

Wirkt teilweise sehr billig, und das Nebeneinander von Hochglanz- und matten Tasten ist ein Design-No-Go - funktioniert aber gut und ist deutlich lauter einstellbar als meine beiden Sony Walkman. Auch im Klang gibt‘s keine Unterschiede! Also nicht hingucken, nur hinhören…

Es lo mejor que pude comprar es algo que me permine disfrutar la musica al 100 y super bonito vale total mente la pena

This was a present for me and I am delighted with it. It is very good quality and easy to use. So far the sound has proved excellent. I have disabled fingers, which cope easily with speed and functionality and the seem fine. It is worth its value for money. It gives me great pleasure- thank you.
