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

This cassette player does everything needed. It is compact, works simply and is inexpensive. My grandson loves it!

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.

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.

Update messed with it for a bit and works perfectly. My nephew loves it!

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.

Easy use pretty good quality nice compact size for use at work or outdoors please use with care cassettes are making a comeback excellent thank you

It's a good product, but it might ruin your cassettes. It already ruined one of mine because it pulled the tape out of its case. This makes the cassette unusable due to loose tape. It creates a propensity for it to get stuck as the tape winds to play the following song.

Been good so far, I had a lot of cassettes laying around and finally getting a chance to listen to them felt great

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

Works Great! Would recommend.

gostei muito, atendeu as espectativas! a qualidade do som faz sentido com o preço

L articolo funziona molto bene, mio padre che è non vedente lo usa con le cassette trevi e si trova benissimo. Consiglio vivamente
