PROSCAN Cassette Player & Recorder with Microphone, Headphone Jack, Aux in, Black

Bought for a friend and she loves it.

This is a well designed, well built unit with favorable sound quality for its category. My 94 year old mother-in-law is able to enjoy her "old school" cassettes; I feel it "checks all the boxes" for its "genre" and am 100% pleased with the purchase and supplier.

Stopped working after three months. Used it for audio childrens books at bedtime, out if reach of child. Started out fine, then would just randomly stop, then began running sliw, till finally stopped working completely

For $20, you get what you pay for. The speaker on the tape recorder puts out muffled sound and isn’t very loud even on the highest setting. It sounds much better when using headphones. The plug-in microphone is terrible, but there is a built-in microphone that picks up much better. I like the fact that it has a line-in input so you can record from another audio source. The cassette door ejects softly, so that’s a plus. I’ve used this a few times and it plays well, though I’m not sure about the long-term durability of it. I will update the review if anything changes.

I send it to a friend, she likes it

I've had precious little experience with the product, but it's enough for me to give it a rating.Let's get down to why this is three stars. It works. It records. It's not great, but it's functional enough to play around with.I haven't tried the included microphone because it feels like cheap crap that could be outshone by the built-in mic in my wired headphones.But my biggest issue is that my recorder seems to be possessed by the soul of the child in the sweat shop that built it because it won't stop screaming while in use. Trying to record? The item screams. Thankfully, this isn't picked up in the recording. Trying to play? Item screams. Rewinding? High-pitched screams that turn to odd funny screams when it gets to the end of the tape (it does not auto-stop rewinding).All in all, it's worth the less-than-$20 I paid for it. It would be nicer if it didn't have the souls of the damned screaming at me while I tried to use it, but I'll take what I can get.

In this day and age of technology it’s so nice to have a simple tape recorder.It’s well built, good sound, and like in the olden days, it can record whatever it is you wanna say with no muscle and no fuss you just do it and you have fun.I found some old cassettes from the sixties and it must have been such a novelty back then that we kids would have it on all the time and I found spurts of us laughing and playing games and doing stuff in a coloring book and talking to my mother while we were in the car and it’s hilarious.!This was definitely worth the money!

I found a tape from my late husband that he wrote to me in 1984 and I wanted to see if it's still played but I didn't have a CD player thanks to this I got to hear his voice all over again it worked perfectly
