Works great! My Sony Walkman needs repair and I haven't found anyone I trust to fix it. I saw this on prime day a a crazy low price so I sangged it thinking I had nothing to lose. All of my cassettes are just normal tapes no metal etc. Most are Sunday church services the rest are mixed tapes I others made and store purchased tapes of favorite bands etc. All play and sound great. The volume is a tad lower than expected but with the earbuds its fantastic. I give 4 stars because all of the adapters I own are 5v and it says you need a 4.5v adapter so now I have to search for and buy one of those. If it had came with the adapter I would have given it 5 stars. Its works well in battery and all of my am stations that I live came in very nicely. I checked FM for this review and its good as well. I haven't tried to record anything. I will say there is no hum while listening to my tapes. I ordered another recorder player on the same day and hear a loud hum when playing the same tape so that one will be going back. This one is the one folks if you want to play those old mix tapes and sermons again LOL. I have an old fm transmitter for my car and I was able to plug tje earphone port into that and play it through my car speakers using the fm transmitter so that is nice. Now I can listen to my dads old sermons when I'm commuting to work and such. So grateful to hear his voice in good quality again. Still want to get my Sony Walkman fixed,, but now i can wait until i find someone qualified to do it correctly. Thanks Semier! I Would have paid a little more if it came with a power adapter.

I've seen reviews about these players eating tapes, but I haven't had that issue. I'm not sure if there are some faulty models or if the tapes people are using are just old and wrinkled. Either way, I was able to listen to some things that were recorded decades ago"¦ it was nice to bring back some old memories.

The media could not be loaded. Also did I mention... EXCELLENT QUALITY.

I for real don't write reviews like ever, so when I endorse something, I MEAN it. I am a 22 year old man and am writing this via my mom's Amazon account through which I bought this and as soon as I started using this walkman, I felt extremely compelled to write this company/product a shining review.ðŸ†

Just opened this guy up and after putting in 2 AA batteries, tested with an old Elvis cassette tape from 1973 and the SOUND is fantastic. 🔊

It came remarkably quickly and arrived in a little cardboard box; inside the walkman was seated in a little foam tray with the earbuds and instructions lying flat beneath. I felt very comfortable that it wouldn't have been damaged in transit. 📦

The BUTTONS are solid and don't rattle and have a weight to them that feels durable and WELL-MADE. Jacks for BOTH aux and mic are VERY appreciated and are both clearly labeled. 🎧

Analog radio tuner =🤌🤌.

The video shows it sitting on its horizontal side but it also stands just as steadily vertically with the antenna pointing up. ðŸ‘

VERY easy to open and insert tapes. ðŸ'Œ

I have tried other brands on Amazon that were fine but were a bit flimsy and got jammed or stuck pretty easily. I had bought two of one kind that worked okay but both started making screeching noises and quit working after about a month of very minimal use each. ☹ï¸

It obviously hasn't been that long yet, but I haven't seen reviews here talking about this Semier stopping working (unlike the other one whose bad reviews I did not listen to🫣). I am actually really confident that that isn't going to be an issue with this walkman; it feels better and works better right out of the gate so I doubt that's going to be an issue. If it is as some point, it's likely a fluke or my fault and I can always return it/contact the company for help. ðŸ'

This has a remarkable PRICE and I truly see no need to buy anything more expensive as this does what it needs to and does it very well. 💲

The external speaker is VERY good. Keep in mind my video is of a super old tape and by nature isn't going to sound like Bose, no matter how it's played. 📻

The only reason someone might want to upgrade to a more expensive brand is to find one with a very VERY good speaker/Bluetooth compatibility, but we're talking about cassette players here which are predominantly intended for wired headphone use, so an external speaker is just a big bonus.👌

I tried the earbuds and they have a nice WARM sound to them and are really COMFYY. The earpiece parts are metal on the outside which just made them seem really fancy and cool. They have nice clarity (maybe a smidge muddy on some of the lower-mids but that's likely due to my tapes being old). 🎵

All in all, thank for coming to my TedTalk today, you've been a great crowd and I hope you will buy this if you're looking for a wonderful cassette player. If not then just to support these guys cause quality is hard to come by. Thank you and goodnight 👋.

Good price, good value. No "bells and whistles", just a basic player. I miss a tape counter. It's best to lister through a good pair of earphones.

Worked ok for radio, but it does not pick up a wide range of radio stations. If you have local a station as primary it should work for use. If used as cassette player, batteries will not have a long life on player. Cassettes run batteries down fast. Overall however it plays well, volume good. No real complaints.
