    Not great

    While the price may seem right, I was extremely disappointed when I opened the package and hooked up my mp3 player. Absolutely no bass support with a very limited spectrum of sound. Basically, whatever you listen to sounds like it's coming from a tin can. If you're looking for a good tape adapter, try the Jensen adapter (you'll have to buy online, but the sound quality will be better).

    Does what it's supposed to do.

    Item works well, I use it in my car with the iPod 160 GB Classic and have no problems with it. It does make a little cassette running noise but that's to be expected. It did cost a bit more than the last one I purchased (Sony product) but I was at Best Buy already and needed this to replace the previous one I had. It's still a good price, just cost a bit more than expected.

    Not a bad product

    I bought this product, and for the most part it works great. There are some cons though. When you shut off your car, the iPod doesn't turn off, so if you forget to manually shutoff your ipod, it will die fast. Also, for some songs that iTunes alters to match the sound, this cassette doesn't, meaning that you have to play with your ipod sound and your stereo sound to match up good sound. Its an easy and convenient, but you have to remember a few things when using it

    Although the cord is a little flimsy and maybe should be a little thicker, and that the price may be a little high for that particular product, it was fantastic. Excellent sound, very easy to set up (take it out of the package and put in cassette player), and great overall. If you have an mp3 player, you should get this. I love it.

    Terrible sound quality

    I had one of these gizmos before and misplaced it, however my previous one was a different brand name. For $25, this is a terrible accessory. There is a constant humming in the background and we had to turn volume to 50 on radio just to hear the songs.

    Frustrating purchase

    Bought this as a replacement for a Belkin which I damaged. The Dynex kept switching sides and then ejecting itself. Tried it over a few days and no change, cleaned tape player, no change. Worthless. I've switched back to Belkin.

    This tape should be in the trash

    I went to Best Buy, purchased this product, and placed it in my cassette drive. I plugged my iPod in, and heard HORRIBLE quality audio coming from my speakers. I instantly returned the product. Don't waste your time...

    Very Nice!

    I was a bit skeptical when I first bought this.To look at it it's just a plain looking cassette with a rather flimsy wire attached.Looks can be deceiving however.Once I plugged in my MP3 and played it through my cars cassette setting the sound was awesome.To me it sounds just as good as my cd player.The bass is full and rich and the highs are very clear and crisp.I think for the price it's a great deal.The only negative is I think Dynex should have made the adapter look a bit nicer with a thicker wire and perhaps better graphics but this is a minor thing.I've found that to get best results turn your Ipod to no more then 75 percent volume and let the car radio do the rest.If you put the MP3 to full volume you get some distortion.

    Works perfect

    Bought this a couple weeks ago, so far so good. No problems that were mentioned in other reviews. I have a 01 Infiniti I30, works perfect. No auto-reverse issues, no sound issues, just works.

    junk

    Worst $19.99 you'll ever spend. It makes a loud humming noise that drowns out the music. It also starts flipping back and forth and then stops working.

    I bought this for my ipod and it works great! there is no humming or buzzing in the background....sounds crystal clear. Once you get the adjustments of the volume right(which is not tedious), you are ready to rock!

    This thing appears to be better than the other choices I had to play my iPod through the car radio.

    Would not Work

    I used a Sony adapter before this and had no problems. The adapter switched tape sides every 5-10 seconds and then ejected the tape. Have not been able to listen to it yet. I'm using it in a '95 Ford Explorer for anyone with the SUV thinking about purchaing this product.
