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

My cassette tape came today. I ordered one from Olivia Rodrigo but it won’t be here until July so I needed something to play my cassettes as that is a new addiction of mine. I think it sounds so cool and it works perfectly with my Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift cassettes. It is easy to use and very portable and I absolutely love it!

This is a really nice cassette player for the price. I like that it has a mic auxiliary port for recording mixtapes. Its main setbacks are it that it has no belt clip (that would be an easy fix). And I think the rewind and fast forward buttons are in the opposite positions. It takes AA batteries and projects pretty loud. I would’ve liked more color options. I guess I can’t complain too much but this will be my main way of recording to cassettes now. It’s portable and weighs just enough. I’d recommend it mostly unless you need one with a belt clip

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.

Man, this is my first time using a cassette player. At first I thought, it was broken. It's almost like playing Vinyl on a record player. It has sounds of the music like it echoes or scrates in the sound. Really a great product, if you love listening to music from different ways of playing music. Of course, I got the awesome mix of Guardians of the Galaxy. Now I gotta get And Justice for all by Metallica. Which I played on a Sony walkman cd player. Thanks Tomashi

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.

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!

Didn’t work properly

Unfortunately, got what I paid for. It’s cheap, but you can’t hear the recording very well even by turning it up as high as it’ll go.

Really nice little product; arrived quickly.

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
