Portable Cassette Player - Cassette Tape Recorder with Bluetooth Connection Speaker or Headphones, 3.5mm Audio Cable - (Serge, Orange)

Honest opinion, great. Yes it’s the same mechanism as the cheap players but it’s fully speced up. Metal fly wheel, metal plating throughout, stereo head, playback is excellent though there is a hiss on the output I’m yet to find a tape player that doesn’t have this even vintage 80s and 90s players have a hiss and for me it’s nostalgic having that easily audible hiss between tracks and I love it for what it is. Playback on pre recorded cassettes is perfect. I’ve listened to several cassettes from Madonna like a virgin being the oldest and Arctic Monkeys latest album from a couple of years back and all plays great. Recording is the biggest downfall, recording to a brand new Maxell cassette the entire recording is filled with small sections that seem to have a warbling on higher pitch tones. I haven’t tried with an older or type 2 or 4 tape but it leaves recorded tapes as barely listenable. So would advise against buying it if you want to record your own mix tapes like the good old days Battery life is great, rechargeable battery is a welcome touch and I haven’t tried the Bluetooth as I have a great pair of wired headphones which are far better and should give better battery life than maintaining a wireless connection Auto stop on play/record but no auto stop on rewind or fast forward which is a minor niggle but my childhood player had no auto stop at all and only had a fast forward and couldn’t rewind so it’s still an improvement on budget 90s players Would recommend to anyone wanting to listen to old and new cassettes Wouldn’t recommend to people wanting to record their own tapes But I bought it just as a player for on the go to relive those old days and listen to albums sounding the way they did when I was a kid and for that it’s definitely a 5 star purchase.

This is wonderful! I'm 47, and grew up with Walkmans the first time round. Recently, I've been feeling a little nostalgic about music. I went through rebuilding my vinyl collection a few year back, but had forgetter the humble cassette until more recently, when I was craving something portable. Portable cassette players peaked in the late 1990s. In truth, they were smaller, and possibly more capable than this. We are rewind are the first to admit that the cassette mechanisms which shrunk to the size of only a little more than the cassette are no longer in production. So we are left with a larger mechanism, which puts this on par (in size) with the very first Sony TPS-L2 from the late 1970s. But size isn't what this is about. It's pure nostalgia. It's built like a tank - its metal case is sturdy and has some weight to it. Bluetooth is a nice touch, and works very well, but I've got my Hifiman Sundara over ear, studio headphones plugged into it and I'm listening to the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix 2 as I type this and I'm straight back in the 1990s This isn't a product for audiophiles. But if you want a solid player (and recorder) that's well built and sounds every bit as good as your walkman when you were a kid, then this might just be for you. The pencil in the case was a nice touch too (if you know, you know....) Buy it because it will make you smile. I promise.

Really good product. Does exactly what it says on the box very well. Particularly enjoyed the Bluetooth connectivity.

Apparently the audio cassette recorder/player design and manufacture was a lost art before these people came along. I needed to transcribe some ancient cassettes to digital and didn't want to mess about with decaying elastic bands. You don't get hi-fi recording (it's AGC with no meters) but it works very well for the purpose, looks appealingly eccentric and sounds good.

I have owned this two months, never dropped it, looked after it carefully. The bluetooth has never worked properly and the door has fallen off. I have not even used it that much, really not fit for purpose. The company seem to be more concerned about looks than actually making a decent product. Also, just to be clear, the whole body is not metal, the bit with the logo on is a plastic panel.

Love this! Looks very nice, bold colour stands out on shelves. Honestly haven’t used it very much, did play tapes but I seem to remember the Bluetooth struggled to connect and I’m not sure if I was able to resolve that. A nice gift idea. Made nice and durable etc.

Everyone know that there is only one company still making cassette mechanisms. This has it (because if that is all they can get then they are pretty much stuck with it). However they have specked it up to the max. This sounds decent. It is no Nachamichi Dragon but it it probably the best you are going to get in 2025. It also has Bluetooth so you can pair it to your headphones/speakers and the build quality is solid. Definitely not a plastic piece of rubbish. Is it worth the money, probably not but is it by far the best attempt at a decent tape player/recorder in the last 5 years then definitely. You can spend your money on much worse.

Disappointing, especially at this price point. Basic features missing - there’s no eject button, the rewind button stays stuck down even after it’s finished, rewinding is very slow, and it doesn’t pair with the car as advertised. It arrived in a very poor-quality jiffy bag that burst open on arrival, scattering fabric fibres everywhere. Instead of being able to enjoy the product straight away, I had to spend time vacuuming and clearing up the mess. This really detracted from what should have been a positive unboxing experience.

Ottimi materiali il suo punto forte e' il bluetooth penso che il prezzo sia giusto

Super produit de bonne facture, fonctionne toujours après un an d utilisation, le son est vraiment bon voir meme supérieur au baladeur k7 de l époque

So not just a retro vintage look but solidly built too! From the moment you hold the W.A.R. cassette player in your hands, you get a real sense that you've purchased something of quality! Nice to see a manufacturer taking obvious pride in what they have made for a change! For me and my family, the sound quality is excellent too! They've made a real effort to deliver a value product - this new version sees notable improvements on speed, wow and flutter issues that you tend to get in a lot of other cassette players available on the market today. The efforts made to reduce tape and motor noise is a welcome improvement too! You definitely get what you pay for in this cassette player! Highly recommended 👍🙂

Let's get the negatives out of the way so we can focus on the good stuff. I gave the product a four out of five stars, because to the best of my ability I have been unable to find any mention of warranty coverage on the manufacturer's website. There is a serial number listed on the box the device comes in, but there is no serial number anywhere on the outside of the device itself... so don't throw away that box! Aside from that, here's what I found good about the player. - good packaging, and it's well protected inside plastic bags - it's case is aluminum, not plastic (aside from the viewing window where you can see the tape playing status) - easily charges with a USB-C charge cable, one of which is included with the player... but you'll need your own adapter to connect it to your home's electrical outlets - the background noise is pretty minimal, and I compare that to another player I have (a FiiO). It is quieter. - rechargeable Lion battery - line out/line in functionality for playback and recording input in stereo - support for bluetooth headphones or speakers (it stores connection details for eight devices) - ability to record, which makes it a bit unique compared to other small format players - the playback time on a full charge is pretty good, but about 30% less that the FiiO player Things I find or wish they would improve on: - it does have an automatic stop when it reaches full rewind or fastforward to the end or start of the tape, but there is no auto-reverse playback feature. That would be really convenient. - though it does have a metal enclosure, it would be nice if they offered a protective case for the player (FiiO did a really good job with their case if wearerewind wanted to follow that example) - what wearerewind does offer is a sort of cage/belt clip carrier sort of thing, which doesn't appeal to me at all. Yes, it gives you the ability to hang the player off your belt, but it does bugger all to protect that actual device Do I recommend it? Yes, with caveats. If you want a modern compact cassette player, I think this is the best one currently available. Do not expect the sound quality to be the same as that from a component stereo cassette deck. And that bit about no warranty coverage (that I can find) is concerning. But if you want a portable cassette player and can accept the caveats I've noted, then yes... I recommend it.

je l'ai essayé avec deux cassette d'origine , jamais endommagée, en plus des k7 donc vous imaginez le coté collector, genre mickael jackson... et la , toute la bande completement détruite, et j'ai comme une idiote essayer sur une seconde k7 pour voir si ca provenait de la K7 mais meme problème, détruite ! tout ca parce que en regardant bien, les 2 molettes ne tournent pas meme sans k7 ou de facon aléatoire quand elles en ont envie . au prix du produit c'est dégueullasse . arreter de vendre ce truc . J'ai voulu prendre ce qui me semblait du vintage, de qualité, j'ai acheté un walkman a 20 euros en plastique sur amazone l'année dernière il fait l'affaire largement mieux lui
