sorry - using with iPhone - sounds good but can hear the typical cassette noise but not too badly. Also, because my 2002 chevy has auto reverse in the case. player, I had to remove the round grommet from inside the monster cassette

if the volume is turned down, you can barly here the cassette turning. this might be cause the player is really old. when the volume is up and i do not listen to loud music, you cant hear the player at all. sound from the audio is great and i would recomend to anyone.

Songs play very clear and yes works with any device that has 3.5mm plug, I use it with my Android and iPod, no static at all...there is just the clicking sound of the tape player when music is not on but you will not notice it during music playback.

It should work with any smart phone. Think of it as your AUX input that is found in most new cars now days. The clarity will depend on the quality of your MP3 and your cassette player. As for the noise, I really cannot comment. I was using this device in a 2004 volvo s60, original equipment and did not experience any noise.

I am using a simple 5 year old LG Chocolate phone and the sound is great in my 30 year old Cadillac. This Cassette adapter is actually only a connection between your player and your cassette deck. How well the sound comes across really depends on how good your player is and how good your cassette deck and sound system are. And yes, ALL cassette decks make noise. But the music usually drowns out any noise made by the plastic parts in the cassette rubbing together. It has been that way since cassette decks were invented. You should have heard how loud 8 track tapes were!

The monster adapter I received works with all iPhones, iPods, android phones and any other media players with the headphone jack. Hope that helps!

I sent a review about this cassette player several months ago, and for your information, SAVE YOUR MONEY, this is a piece of junk! I don't think it was a couple of months before we had trouble with the CD player not playing and shortly there after, the cassette player malfunctioned also. Stick with a brand-name such as SONY, Panasonic, JVC and you will not go wrong.

Thanks, Alex. This is very helpful. I'm feeling like this might work for me, and even if it doesn't, I'll still have an awesome mp3 player.-Rick

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional

No, this won't do it. It'll just allow you to listen to your phone/ipod/ or mp3 player in your car if you have a cassette player installed.

Did you ever solve this problem...mine does the same thing and it makes listening to audio books so hard to do. If not...can you recommend a MP3 that does not do this.

Bluetooth is not the greatest for sound transmission although it may perform similar to the cassette. The wired cassette will hum slightly especially if you under amplify the signal. It works best to turn your phone up to the max and then the cassette volume.

No, unless your cassette player can be connected with a USB cord. This is has a docket for an iPod or iphone 5, plays the FM stereo only, and functions as a CD player.

Yes, it plays cassettes, but we have trouble when playing the tuner. The whole unit shuts down after 15 minutes. It is the second set we have had that does this.

No. I have one that doesn't. It could be that when the cassette was recorded the sound was turned too loud. I have some cassettes like that.

Oh, yes, it does play cassettes, and very well, too. I'd highly recommend it for your mom or for anyone else, as availability for buying (good) boom boxes with tape-playing capabilities dwindles with each passing quarter. Hope this helps!

We just set the Function Selector to "Cassette"...as far as I know, no power is used when in this position, until the actual "Tape" PLAY button is pressed.

Hi! I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

Lokamaya, I haven't used any cassette players in the past 10 years. But I remember that they be powered by rechargeable NiMH cells just fine. Same thing with portable CD players. The small difference in voltages (between alkaline and NiMH) should not matter at all, because internally the motors are running off a regulated volatge. If you are having problems using NiMH cell in your players, then the root cause could be that your rechargeable batteries are suffering from reduced capacity. Try some Sanyo eneloop (or other good quality LSD cells) and you should see the difference.

I'm no audiophile, but I've only heard a distinct drop in quality on my phone. At my computer, streaming music through Google Play, though, it's identical to my ears.

Make sure your cassette is full rewound tightly. If that does not work try fast forwarding & rewinding the unit quickly

Not technically proficient enough to know what MP3's I am using. Some were from out of print vinyls. I will just say that they worked very well and seemd just as nice in my home set-up or my car stereo.Really improved the old vinyls. As for your car, if it is older and still has the cassette player up front, you can buy what looks like a cassette with a line on it. That goes on your Zen and it then plays through your car speakers. Newer cars usually have some small opening for running your cellphone, MP3 or other extra device through the sound system.
