Portable Cassette Player Tape Recorder with Built-in Speaker,Microphone,Headphone Jack-, 4.57 x 3.54 x 1.38inch

The product looks good and is of good quality, and fulfills its purpose of being a cassette player well. However, there is a big detail here: it is very basic and has very poor sound quality. However, don't expect anything special. If you just want to plug it in and play your music and don't care about quality, this product is wonderful. When connected to quality speakers, it remains poor, with no bass, midrange or treble. On its own speaker, the sound is just bad. It is not a cassette player for audiophiles, but for the price it is justified. Good ones cost 5 to 10 times more. So, it gets a 10 for delivering the basics.

The sound quality is actually pretty decent. The tapes I've purchased sound great, the ones I've recorded myself on my other recorder sound okay. Thats more my part as I don't have a super proper way of recording the music. The mic on this one is absolute dookie, I cant record anything without it sounding like a fart in a storm. The headphone port is great. It's lightweight. I bought it as a gift for a couple tapes I recorded and I think its perfect for just that. The fast forward and rewind is so fast which is nice. You have to open it manually to take your tapes out, I think I opened it wonky or something but it messed up one of my tapes. I wouldn't blame the recorder though, I think that was my fault. I would buy it again if I needed another one, I don't have many complaints and im happy with the purchase. Worth it in my eyes!

If your answer is yes to any of these questions then you should not buy this and instead choose a different brand: Q1: Are you looking to use this to record onto cassette tapes? Q2: Are you expecting to listen to sound on this device? Q3: Do you expect this device to have stereo sound and recording? Q4: When the description talks about a niche 4.5v barrel plug power cable, do you expect that cable to come with the device you paid for? Main points: 1. For the same price as all the other tape decks on Amazon, this one has 0 features, and what it offers sucks. 2. It offers playback, which you can hear the tape whirring away through the speaker, and it's MONO sound like what the heck?? 3. It offers recording (if you can call it that) through a mic or plug in, the sound again... IS MONO which is horrible and distorts any sort of prerecorded sounds, and voice recording is also a nightmare. 4. Onto the features it doesn't offer: 1. Within 10$ of this price you can find another deck with all the following features 2. AM/FM radio & extendable antenna 3. STEREO SOUND for pete's sake, the only people buying these are those that WANT TO LISTEN TO THINGS. This thing is unbearable, it's not nostalgic, it's not quirky it's unbearable! 4. Auto rewind at the end of the tape, not a deal breaker just a convenience that many other decks have 5. Track seeking to skip between songs by detecting the pauses, again not a deal breaker but there are some cheap decks out there with this amazing feature. Just stop and ask yourself the questions I wrote at the beginning, and then go buy a different cassette player.

I coupled this little unit with an adaptor cable to my stereo amplifier and it sounds awesome. Even the built-in speaker is good. I wish it came with an AC/DC adapter for battery-less power, but two AAs is easy enough. Now I can listen to my ancient cassette tapes. Super portable, super responsive, very functional, looks great, and quite reliable.

This is an affordable personal "walkman-style" cassette player. It's a very simple device, quite easy to use. I find the unit's form factor is quite nice, it's easy to handle in one's hand. Playback quality is mono (not stereo), there is a little bit of motor noise and typical tape hiss but less of the electromagnetic noises than on some other contemporary walkman-type players. It seems fairly well built. Wow and flutter is passable. The integrated speaker is no better than on a typical smartphone, but headphone playback is acceptable. I've listened to my F-119 via headphones several times at bedtime, and have enjoyed it quite a bit even though the sound is mono. Finally, while you can record with this device, the built-in microphone isn't very sensitive and unless you put your mouth right up against the mike you won't get much recorded output. As a recorder, this is not as proficient my vintage Sony Pressman TCM-DV20 for voice recording. The Tomashi permanent magnet erase head produces a high level of recording hiss, but fortunately, this doesn't affect playback. Some other walkman-type units incorporate an AM/FM tuner, but given the very cheap low-grade electronics in these devices you might experience a bit of bleed-through "crosstalk" from the radio when playing tapes. All the buttons and controls function satisfactorily, and my initial impression is this Tomashi is not likely to damage or "eat" cassette tapes when used carefully. At this price point, I'd recommend this F-119 as a competent unit.

Basic portable cassette player. Sound and recording work okay, not great but at $20 it was to be expected. More disappointing is that after a short amount of use the play button does not want to stay down and sometimes takes pushing it over and over again to get it to work. It was also not very clear in the listing what the polarity and size of the power connection are. After digging around I did find an image of the power connection that showed polarity and using that I was able to get a universal AC/DC adapter. Probably going to replace it after only a few weeks because it is too frustrating to try and get working each time.

I got this casette player to listen to casettes from my wife during the Viet-Nam war. She send me a bunch of them. I can transfer the tapes into digital on my computer using this tape player.

Child loves to thrift cassette tapes, so naturally she needs a cassettes player. Great for car rides, errands, biking - can use head phones or as a portable player for all to hear!

Doet wa hij moet doen, kan tegen een stootje mijn dochter heeft hem al eens laten vallen maar doet het gewoon.

Eins der besten neu produzierten Walkmans, die es gibt! Funktioniert wie die früheren Originale und die tolle Farbe + Optik machen alles umso schöner und nostalgischer.

Works Great! Would recommend.

Registra benissimo MONO dal jack mic che invece accetta aux. Ed è questo che cercavo. Mi raccomando registrare con le pile e non con alimentazione DC perché in questo ultimo caso registra peggio

Muito bom!
