Coby Portable Cassette Player & Tape Cassette Recorder with Built-in Microphone & One-Touch Recording with Automatic Stop, External Boom Mic (CVR42BK)

This functionality was excellent. Thanks

My mother has old gospel tapes and needed a tape cassette. The sound quality is good. And it doesn't eat up the tape cassettes. With some of her tapes being over 20 years the speed quality was great. The cassette sound didn't drag or become distorted.It's small and compact and easy to carry. Will buy again.

Plays tapes dependably. The only issue I have is that it uses C-sized batteries. Four or even six Double-A's would be better since I keep a supply of them. For the C-batteries, I had to order them special and use electric outlet until they came. I don't know how long the C-batteries will last, but so far, so good.

Garbage. Ate and destroyed an old tape with voice recordings that will never be recovered. Thankfully I still have more. But this is unacceptable. Why is it so hard to make these that work now? Never had these problems back in the day. It also has a hissing noise the whole time it’s playing. Chose this one bc Coby was a recognized brand. Means nothing, absolute trash.

My husband really likes his set recorder. He can listen to tapes from his childhood when his parents used to record all their trips. Thank you so much for this great product.

It records audio nicely and with higher volume and there isn't the issue of it eating cassette tapes that other tape recorders have caused. That said, the sound quality and playback is the same warbly effect of many modern tape recorders. The audio in contrast of tape recorders I bought years ago was much more accurate, even if not much clearer. Still, decently priced, can't complain. I'm satisfied with my purchase but with caveats as stated.

Perfect delivery, was exactly what I wanted and needed.

Don’t buy real junk
