Groov-e Retro Personal Cassette Player and Recorder with AM/FM Radio - Built-in Speaker & Microphone, One-Touch Recording, Belt Clip and Earphones Included - Silver

Reliable and cheap. I carry it everywhere and it consistently works. The only issue I have had is that the capstans do t take much resistance to stop turning so some tapes won’t play however it isn’t a common issue and changing the shell of the tape usually fixes it (most of my tales have sat in a garage for secession in poor storage so it’s probably just my issue). Also this is a feature not a bug so that the tape isn’t broken when it reaches the end. Microphone picks up noise of machine itself due to being embedded and I would’ve like a slot to plug in another but not a big deal. Other reviews have said that the recording button doesn’t work however I suspect it’s a user error. Tapes have anti recording protection to stop someone accidentally deleting their music. The recording button can’t be pressed unless the holes are taped over (there is a lever underneath that detects it) and the recording button can’t be pressed if the level is not pressed. Overall very pleased and well worth the money if planning to listen with headphones or a speaker (inbuilt speaker is low quality). Reliable device that I use all the time. Very portable, would recommend

Very good player/recorder, microphone is good quality, speaker is a tad on the tinny side but not too tinny where it's unbearable it has a good amount of bass on it to listen to your tapes. Makes good music recordings if you can switch to mono on a device like a tv and a few inches away from speaker and volume not turned up too much or otherwise it can result in distorting the recording. Only had one incident of a tape being eaten but diddn't happen again, so far so good, could of been that the tape had some slack on it and I haddn't realized. Radio is good. Have used this player on the bus before now. I would highly recomend you buy this if your on a low budget and you need a decent portable player/recorder. Takes 2 aa batteries and can also be powerd by usb which is also good. Had it a few months now and it has been a good player. I'm happy with my purchase.

Neat little player: runs off two AA batteries, which aren't supplied, but easily obtained. Wired earphones are supplied: the wire also functions as an FM aerial. The tape controls are simple and positive; a simple switch selects the FM/AM radio mode. Tuning is by a wheel: no preselects or auto-tune. Sound quality is reasonable, given the low-fi signal. The USB plug only supplies current, not signal output. No Bluetooth connection. As a simple cassette player, it's good within its limits. The recipient felt that it was perhaps 25% overpriced.

A nostalgia trip to the 80s

To quote Marge Simpson 'if you can't say anything good about someone, don't say anything'. However you asked. Looking for a cassette player/recorder - yes I still prefer cassettes - to replace my previous ones which were good, had lasted years and which I had got through Amazon, my last resort for buying these out of date machines. I had hopes for this one which looked similar to the others. I tried it and boy was I disappointed. It did not record - or play - I would have kept it if it had just played. Far too lightweight and delicate and continually failed.. Appeared cheaply made and was totally unsuitable for - anything!! - in my opinion. It would not play and the sound was poor. I returned it and Amazon refunded me straight away. Thank you Amazon. I gave it one star but that was only to get into the review screen. It should be no star!

I recommend, it's do what should do and seems to be a good option compared with similars on sale. But made with miserable plastic, if you drop it will smash. The speaker tiny and has a bad quality as I expected. The earbuds is to throw away of course, but I tested and it's sounds pretty good with a good earplugs. Not sure about the tape player, didn't test it yet.

My son loves it, batteries last long time, day 5 and still playing good. Only shame with the radio,can only find one station. The recordings on new tape not great quality.

super great, works well exactly what my elderly parent needed.

Realy pleased with it. At first, the cassette was playing a lttle bit to fast, but on the back of the walkman is a hole and you can insert a small slit screwdriver and adjust the speed. I was surprised that the AM radio picked up so many stations, thing that I have problems with normal radios. Audio quality is not amazing: no bass, high pitch tones. I think a simple capacitor mounted at the audio exit could remove this high pitch tones, but overall: nice device.

Look agréable, un plaisir de réécouter des anciennes K7, qualité audio médiocre par contre avec les écouteurs cela est meilleur mais à ce prix-là il est évident qu’on ne peu pas avoir de la hi fi, capte bien la FM, mais il mérite quand même 5 étoiles pour son look et prix.

I purchased this item for a 90 year old gentleman who has been unable to buy one. He is very happy with it. Playing his old tapes is passing the time when we can’t go anywhere. I thought I was lucky when I googled this item and I had an Account with you. Your service is great. Thank you.

the cassette player is a special treat, its throwback look and easy use is one of the many perks of this item, I recommend using 60 minute tape, any tape will due(high quality) and your set and if theirs no access to a cassette tape its awesome radio function allows you to listen to your favourite stations where ever or when ever.

Pequeño y manejable
