QFX RETRO-39 Portable Shoebox Cassette Tape Recorder – USB to Cassette Recording, Built-in Microphone, 3.5" Bluetooth Speaker, FM Radio, MP3 Playback, Line-in/Out, AC/Battery Powered

Works perfectly. Its honestly better quality than I expected for the price it was and I love that it connects via Bluetooth so that you can record tapes directly off of music streaming apps. If you record with Bluetooth too you dont have to worry about making noise, it still records the same with no background noise.

Can complain, so far so good! You can record songs onto the cassette using the Bluetooth feature and the quality is great. I’ve only had it for a day or so, so I don’t know how durable it is but other than that I’d definitely recommend it.

I wish I could give it zero stars. How hard is it to make a working tape recorder based on 1970's design? This thing works intermittently, and the sound quality is extremely poor! I consider this a complete rip-off!

I’m very pleased with this product overall, I bought it to record music on blank cassette tapes. I know that there is a lot of mix reviews on this product about the tape recording settings, and I figured out what’s the problem. The music has to be at a high volume level which people have trouble with and so did I. I was about to return it but I still wanted to figure out what was wrong with it and only when I turned the volume up at an extreme level on garage band with duplicating the audio and increasing the volume I got it to fully adjust to be able to hear the music without any static in the background. So it works but you gotta do all that stuff to make it able to be listen to. Everything else about it works nice too Bluetooth and input and output settings. And these kinds of tape recorders were originally only made for recording voice memos or voice calls, so not really the best at recording music but for me personally it got the job done and I’m glad of the outcome.

Good purchase. Functions properly. Clarity. Speed. Lightweight.

Sound is iffy, depending on the volume. It’ll be complete static once i go close to the lower setting. Quality in general is pretty mediocre at best. Does what it is says and is a good size. I wouldn’t spend the amount I did on it again though.

Great Cassette tape player/ Recorder ! I read some of the bad review's and I think many of them never used a Cassette player before . you can Not expect to get Digit quality out of a Analog player.. and the Bluetooth and usb are great extras .

This is a cool cheap item. The packaging was damaged. I wish Amazon would put it in an outer box. Nonetheless I kept it because it was so amazing. Looks and feels exactly like similar items sold in the 70s. It does everything they did and more. Imagine the unit acting like a blue tooth speaker. It will pair seamlessly with your iPhone and when you play songs on your phone they will play through the cassette recorder’s speaker. If you now engage the record mechanism with a tape in it: voila you are making a tape of what’s playing in your iPhone! You can also control forward, back and pause of your iPhone with tiny buttons on the unit. Just like a Bluetooth speaker. You can also play FM radio and record that. Who the heck listens to radio anymore? Regardless the FM radio gets amazingly good reception! No way of telling which station you are listening to. Allows an external mic 🎤 or a line in from your stereo. I would not hesitate to buy this just for fun. I’ll be interested to hear the quality of a tape made from Blue Tooth, and then played into a stereo through the line out. Will it be high fidelity? Will it have the tin AM radio type sound?: I do not know! Will be fun to play with. In any case buy without hesitation, and then get some blank tapes and 4 C cell batteries while you are at it. One thing it does not do is allow you to listen to it with a set of blue tooth headphones. You would have to use wired ones through the line out. How 70s! Have a blast!
