eyesen Portable Cassette Player Tape Recorder with Stand-Alone Microphone & Built-in Speaker, External Sound/Tapes Convert to Digital Format, USB Disk Audio Player, Retractable Handle, Headphone Jack

Great build quantity , in facts feels more solid than some of the original machines I grew up with . Works very well and the USB/Cassette digital transfer and recording functionality very easy to use and works exceedingly well . Good sound quality as well . Great value for money .

Got this, very pleased with its functions and accessories, plays tapes and USB sticks well but...The recording on both the internal and lav mic isn't consistent, first recording was very quiet so I unplugged the mic and tried again - both mics were good so I did a final test recording only to find it was quiet again on both mics so it had to go back.I might have just got a bad one but will go for another model just in case.p.s. Having looked for 'another' model it seems that for this format of recorder you can only get this type under different brand names, a bit like living in the old Soviet bloc where you could only get one brand and that was it, not exactly a great choice unless you want a recorder with a radio or radio and CD player which I don't want.

A great little deal for the price. Sound as good as an average radio. Digital recording is easy. And just bought back many memories and some great music. Loved it.

The player is simple to use. The sound quality is reasonable for its size. Recorder not yet tried as the purchase was made as a gift for an elderly person. Initially satisfied.

Works straight out of the box. Sound quality is better than expected when plying ancient cassettes. Lightweight, yet still feels like a quality product.It does record digitally, which is why I bought it. The only downside is that it records the cassette tape as a block with no track separation. This I expected for the technology. I have tried a few options when recording digitally, but have had kittle success.So, you will need to pause recording and restart digitally to create separate tracks.That said, a very good buy and worthwhile.

In my experience the worst reviews are no at all true. But it's a little disappointing for two reasons. Here is my overall experience so far:1) The price needs to be watched. I bought it at a higher level than the price has been since and there is an additional voucher today. It is a pity and I would have waited had I realised how the pricing seems to work.2) There was an initial issue and I couldn't get it to record and couldn't try again until tonight where it has recorded by the look of it, but it won't play the on the more recent Media player. That is a disappointment.3) When I asked about the problem I was told (as confirmed by at least one review) that I could download a different media player, but I am sure no specific player was mentioned and an specific option would be helpful4) The second disappointment has been the volume level on the recording. Much quieter than I expected and a surprise because the actual play back has generally been excellent and as good if not better than the basic players I used for many years. Perhaps a different media player will work better - I will have to see, but as a player it is fine and it does record but the volume is a disappointment - I can hear it, but my wife will struggle with that. A shame TBHOh, and unless there was something wrong with the 4 new Duracells the battery life is not long. I'll see what happens with another batch, but although the supplied USB wire is OK and can naturally be used with a USB to socket adaptor, I was hoping to use batteries for some of the copying

Plays with little background noise. Is lightweight and portable which is just what I wanted. Haven't yet tried recording to USB but that will be helpful for storing digital copies of gigs I recorded back in the 80's. Nice price and decent to be fair.

Avoid, this is a piece of junk. Tried to play a tape - first there was a lot of whirring noise as though some part of the mechanism was loose, then it chewed my tape.Now my refund has not been paid, even though I returned 10 days ago.
