Reviews around spot (5.00 of 5)

  • The cord has to be in just the right spot for all of the music to come through, if it moves some or all of the sound cuts out
  • and you've gotta play with the wire to get it to the right spot to work.
  • Have to find a sweet spot for to make it sound clear and even then the clarity comes and goes
  • For instance, I have a Samsung Galaxy S9, right before the "red zone", is a good sweet spot
  • Also setting the volume on my phone to about 70% seems to be the sweet spot for the optimal sound quality

Reviews around intend (4.37 of 5)

  • Reccomended, worked as intended rightvaway, no issues.
  • The product works its intended but I noticed after a couple of months later I had to tilt the headphone jack to get the sound to work properly, otherwise I would hear the music softer/quieter than usual like some surround audio was lost

Reviews around issue (3.80 of 5)

  • used it for a year now with no issues, not loud, or inconvenient.
  • No issues at all, cord is long enough, no external noise or static at all, in fact, the quality sounds better than the radio
  • I managed to fix it by re-assmblying the inside parts and gears, but that only delayed the issue by a few weeks
  • This isn't an issue of the tape deck receiving interference, or my car deck rejecting the adapter, this is just faulty quality control
  • No tin can sound, static issue or sound of tape playing function overriding sound of audio from device.

Reviews around buy (3.65 of 5)

  • It's not worth the buy
  • All of these cassette adapters are fairly crappy, but of the 5 I've bought, this was the worst and most short lived.
  • I ended up passing by a Best Buy did a U-turn to happily find what I wanted... a noiseless delivery system to play music off of my iphone
  • I eventually brought me a new and difficult brand from Best Buy and it works fine
  • As you were.]My car doesn't have an auxiliary jack, and I was too cheap to take a chance on the bluetooth tape adapter, so this looked like a good buy despite the mixed reviews

Reviews around money (3.57 of 5)

  • dont waste your money but a more durable and better quality one.
  • Not worth the money - too noisy to and poor connection makes it useless.
  • Do not waste your money unless you only need it for less than a week.
  • I probably spent enough money in these things to buy one anyway!
  • Do not waste the money, pay a bit more or expect it to fail within a very short time.

  • When this product works, it's great; however, I've bought two and both have had issues.

Reviews around item (2.22 of 5)

Reviews around wire (1.71 of 5)

  • Didn't last very long until the wire became messed up and you had to have it in a certain position before it would play correctly.
  • It doesn't feel particularly long-lasting, and I'm concerned that the thin wire may eventually get crushed by the cassette player door, but I'm fine with replacing it at such a low price.
  • Edit: I inadvertently broke the wire on my first adapter
  • Works great and the wire doesn't get pinched in the cassette door
  • Just buy this and a good aux wire if you're into soldering....
