## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, functional, an echo of the past
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 December 2022*

Great product that doesn't try and add some modern rendition of a classic product. Just a simple remake of the original cassette player. Functions well and is both easy and simple to use. Great value for money. Is made from plastic but has a strong and sturdy build. Would recommend highly for those looking for something that simply just does the job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little radio
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 January 2022*

Bought this for my 86 year old mum as her Walkman finally died. It’s easy to use and the sound quality is pretty good. What makes it better is that she can listen to it without headphones thanks to the in built speaker

### ⭐ worst audio quality I have ever heard
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 December 2019*

Here's a comparison with your average walkman and this one. The audio quality is completely muffled. While tapes aren't exactly the best for sound quality there is at least some sort of standard but this cassette player doesn't even come halfway to it. I'm not too fussy with some background noise, slightly muffled sound or scratchiness. In fact, I expected it for such a low price. However this is an absolute waste of money. The flaws are impossible to ignore. It's especially noticeable with the singing. Sounds like the singer is taking a bumpy ride.However I couldn't be more pleased with the quick refund
