    Pure nostalgia

    I have only used the radio and played cassettes and it’s been working perfectly. Obviously the speaker is not giving excellent quality but if you’re like me and looking for that nostalgic sound/feel quality then this product is great. It is a bit fragile because of its made of plastic but for the price I don’t complain.

    Great audio cassette recorder/player with Fm radio

    Great small audio cassette recorder for the money (they are hard to find! It also has an FM radio and other extra features I have yet to use. Able to record and play back on audio cassettes. I was also able to use with an external speaker for amplified sound, but does not require this to listen with. There is a headphone jack also. I have never had such easy accurate instructions for a product!

    Ok for the price

    This is a good little unit if you don't mind something a bit on the cheap side. I had purchased this for the sole purpose of digitizing my cassette library. The cassette deck market is very small these days, and most I've found are either super cheap or super expensive and not a whole lot in between. This one is on the cheap end, but is doing decent work for a very low price. The buttons came unlabeled and they're a little hard to push. The playback sound was very muffled at first, and I thought it might be something defective, but after a little poking around i found the playback head was just terribly dirty. After cleaning it with a alcohol swab it sounded a million times better. I had originally bought it thinking that the USB was for line out recording, but was disappointed to find that it's just a line into the unit for playback/recording. The Bluetooth is also only for line in and not for line out recording. It is beyond me to think that someone would buy this in order to playback through its builtin speaker. It does have a 3.5 stereo line out for recording, All in all an, an OK unit for getting my old tapes digitized and the price was right, its just not how i had envisioned having to do it.

    Versatile compact cassette recorder and player

    The QFX cassette recorder replaced an old SONY which stopped working. I was pleasantly surprised by all the features in this unit. It comes with an AC adapter. It has a USB input that allows recording from tape to Zip drive and also playback from the Zip drive. It also has an auxiliary input for recording from an external source. The instructions also indicate that it has an FM radio that can be used for play or recording to either the tape or Zip drive. The sound quality for a small inexpensive unit was good. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    We have the replacement cassette player now. The first one the buttons broke within 6 months. But it plays well and my husband like it very much. So except for the button seemingly breaking way too soon, we are happy with it.
