Gracioso Bluetooth Cassette Player Recorder with Bluetooth Transmitter, AM FM Cassette Player with Big Speaker,3.5mm Headphone Jack,Microphone Jack, 2*AA Battery Opearated for Home

A friend gave me a bunch off audio books on cassettes and I needed a player. Looked for used ones but people wanted a premium and I know these wear out over time. I was surprised to find they still produced them, and was a little skeptical that they wouldn’t eat the tapes. However, this one works great and seems sturdy. I’ve listened to a couple of books and so far no issues. We’ll see how it holds up over time, but so far it works great and was very will priced.

For being a cassette recorder/player, it's nicely featured. It comes with stereo headphones, and yes, plays through them in stereo. There is a radio built in, blue tooth capable, which makes it great if your vehicle has blue tooth pairing, you gain a cassette player. There is an external speaker for group listening, and can use either AA batteries, (2), or a cell phone charger. The cord and headphones are supplied, and the ear buds sound pretty decent. This is sort of like the old Walkmans of the 80s and 90s, but more utilitarian as well as functional.

awesome product for the money. blue tooth setup was a bit finicky but worked well when it connected. Note bluetooth only works on cassette afaik- but what a sweet addition to old cassette players. The only thing keeping this from a five star is that the sound quality, especially the speaker, isn’t great, but again this is under 50 bucks at the time of this review. In my opinion this is 4 1/2 stars product . Well worth the money in my case. I just wanted something that I could play cassettes with and listen to the radio and disconnect from the Internet for a while. I’m sure you can get better quality but you’ll pay a heck of a lot more for it for the nice walkmans out there these days. If your cassettes are getting eaten up it’s probably an issue with the cassette or that you have weak batteries. If you’re playing cassettes that are 30-40 years old it’s not a big surprise if they have issues. That’s not a problem with the player, cassettes can break down in a way that’s different than vinyl.

This cassette player does everything one could ask for from such a modern device. It plays my old tapes well, can record, and gets AM and FM radio stations well. It also has a very handy Bluetooth feature that I haven't seen on any other cassette player, and it can connect to my Bluetooth headphones well for wireless listening. When I first ordered this item, it played my cassettes slowly, but after contacting customer service at Gracioso I was quickly given a refund and sent a new unit that works perfectly. The customer service representative, Ivy, was very kind and helpful, so I can recommend their product with a guarantee of 100% satisfaction. If you want to listen to cassette tapes on the go, buy this unit!

Such great advertising for the product I thought I couldn’t go wrong. WRONG. I need to hear perfectly the language learning tapes I have. The tapes play, but the volume of the player just isn’t there. At the same time holding up to my ear the sound is Bass heavy and I can’t make out the suttle pronunciations. The unit has no treble control to compensate. Next, there is heavy background white noise which follows the volume level so you never get the noise distraction away from you. There is also a variable interference buzz that changes depending how you rotate the player. I even walked away from the house into the street and the buzz never goes away. I tried the same language tape in a home player. It was perfect. So nobody can blame the professionally produced tape. My goal was to Bluetooth play in my car on the way to work. After 2 hours in my Tesla I just couldn’t get it to pair. I could get a pairing with my Aftershok headphones except the quality there matched the unacceptable speaker quality. My expensive Apple noise canceling earbuds would not pair either. Now I thought I would try the included earphone. Terrible quality there also. Other things I didn’t like are when rewinding a tape you would let the unit run until end of tape and most units shutoff at the end. But here the button remains down, eats battery, until you physically disengage with the off button. By the way, the rewind and FFW speed seems painfully slow. Yes, used new Duracell batteries. I tried the additional power chord and that did not give more power or make better the deficiencies I listed here. The AM/FM radio seemed ok but you really can’t hear anything decently unless the unit is held up to your ear. Anyway… sending this back as it is a $40 disgrace of time and money.

La estética del producto es bonita pero lo devolví porque al conectarlo al auto no funcionaba bien. Pero la devolución fue un proceso rápido y sencillo

Love this. The sound is amazing with the old tapes that I have. Can put it in my bag

This product delighted my daughter who had been looking for a retro alternative to all the digital products out there. She loves it so much. Great quality product, lots of functionality and features. Additionally, when the product broke unexpectedly, Gracioso's customer support took care of me so quickly and kindly, sending out another unit because the product was still under warranty. Thanks so much for taking care of us, Diana! You were a pleasure to work with!!!

Absolutely brilliant little thing

Funktioniert sehr gut

Works well apart from the Bluetooth function which is inoperable.

De las mejores compras que he hecho Me preocupaba más que nada el sonido de la bocina, ya que los reproductores que había comprado antes solían estar viejos y dañados Pero este se escucha maravilloso, no he probado la función Bluetooth pero todo lo demás funciona perfectamente, incluso el nivel de volumen es muy bueno Soy muy feliz de finalmente poder escuchar mi colección de cassettes Viene con unos audifonos, un cable auxiliar y un instructivo bastante claro El paquete llego en perfecto estado c

Good steady product, plays great.
