Product description

Review: The 5th star is the cherry on the cupcake. I’m giving 4 stars for quality! - The quality and durability is top notch! back in the day we didn’t really concern ourselves with how clear or muffled a tape sounded. just as long as it wasn’t playing the cassettes too fast or too slow. we just popped them in and started listening to the music we loved and songs we identified and would sing to! But in todays world we are wanting to go back in time and enjoy the primitive technology but with mp3 or streaming quality. the facts are is that cassettes aren’t going to sound that good back then and now. it will solely depend are you equipment for that! but this cassette player is by far the king of new age cassette playing! it’s either this one or the WE ARE REWIND cassette player. But remember less is more! this one is only a basic mechanism with an on board chip that has a high quality preamp for volume. WE ARE REWIND HAS THAT TOO BUT WITH OTHER FEATURES THAT CAN INTERFERE WITH PLAYBACK DUE TO ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION. Like Bluetooth and a mic in port. Those features need power constantly fed to them to be operational so you may hear a hum or a buzz while listening to cassette’s while the FiiO cp13 has non of that so there won’t be any electrical interference! The build is great! With an all metal body that feels very sleek and sturdy and gives it a good weight! And it has a built in 18650 cell battery so no need to go out and buy expensive cells any longer. I’m a repair guy on cassette players as well and I think I can disassemble these to get to the battery and belts to do my own repairs to the battery and belt situation! Cons- you will more and likely have to adjust the azimuth to get a clearer sound. Mine came a bit muffled sounding but I adjusted it and it sounds good! Overall I give the FiiO cp13 4/5!
Review: Love it! Takes me back to the 80s. - Update April 2026. I got the clear one in December 2025 since I had sold the blue one to help pay for vet bills. I love seeing the tape while it’s playing. I have had the We Are Rewind player and it’s fine, but a bit too bulky. This Fiio player is the best modern era player out there IMO when paired with Retrospekt Koss headphones, also sold on desertcart. Can’t wait for the CP15 rumored to be coming out soon. I own many old school Walkmans that are breaking down. So I got this one because I like supporting companies that are putting out cassettes and cassette players. I have a Retrospekt and Aurex, both sound great but love this one as well. I love the rechargeable battery and it seems to play cassettes better that the other two new ones I have. Meaning, I had a tape play fine in the Fiio and slow in my other ones. This is also old school in that there is no Bluetooth, keeping it simple. It stops automatically when the tape ends but please note that it does not stop automatically when FF or RW. Not a problem because my old school players are the same way. This is built well and is very sturdy. Very cool design and high quality sound in my opinion. I use the Retrospekt Koss over ear headphones that sound great. Got those on desertcart too. I know there are people who swear by older Sonys but mine require constant maintenance that I’m getting tired off. Most everything is made in China these days, gone are the Japanese made Walkmans 😃. This player sounds great! Also getting a We Are Rewind player soon (yes I have a problem 🤓). I also really love the volume wheel on this Fiio Walkman, super cool and easy to turn the volume up or down.

## Features

- FiiO have designed the CP13 with large oval buttons for playback controls (play, stop, rewind, fast-forward) on one side, while down the other side you will find a sleek volume dial, a USB-C port for charging, a 3.5mm headphone input and a status LED.
- CP13 incorporates the imported audiophile op-amp JRC5532, a classic reproduction known as the "king of op-amps." Coupled with the all-analogue circuit processing, it delivers familiar melodies with a lingering and nuanced sound.
- Crafted meticulously with full aluminium alloy, CP13's dual-tone casing showcases a seamless blend of form and function, with a "zero" visible screws design, enhancing both texture and aesthetics. Additionally, the buttons use a tough oxidation process, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The aluminium alloy volume knob features a large-sized analogue volume potentiometer, offering better stability, reliability, and an improved adjustment feel compared to regular cassette players using flatter potentiometers.
- CP13 features a high-capacity 1800mAh lithium battery, providing more power and longer lifespan, offering over 13 hours of continuous playback and an outstanding standby time of over 268 days.
- CP13 is equipped with a dual-mode power supply design, supporting both battery and Type-C charging. Connecting to a 5V power adapter enables charging, with mature charging, power supply, and overvoltage protection circuits for added peace of mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best modern Walkman for regular folks
*by R***. on July 5, 2024*

Finally, they got rid of the motor noise in the modern tape mechanism! Tapes aren't amazingly clear to begin with but that's part of the allure, an audio "aesthetic" if you will. They also don't sound bad either, and this cassette player has FINALLY addressed the one major problem holding these new ones back. It now sounds as good as my old walkmans used to. Now of course there's going to be hiss, no dolby, maybe some wow and flutter. It doesn't sound broken or bad in any way, just very "tapey" which is the reason you come back to these in this day and age. People are expecting the level of quality of a top-of-the-line 90's deck in a $100 portable device created with what's basically a dead technology in a dead market. That's not realistic in the slightest! Such a device wouldn't be anywhere near $100 even in those days. Furthermore, anyone looking to cassettes for hifi quality or portability (for say, jogging) is being a little silly in my honest opinion. In 2024 you have extremely cheap options for much higher fidelity than a cassette based device can ever give you. Plus, you're not seriously considering going on a jog with a semi-fragile device that can literally only hold one album at a time, right? If not, then you don't need to worry that it doesn't have an anti-rollback mechanism. It sounds just fine when laying right-side up. Also, fast forward and rewind have always had to be stopped manually. It might be new if you've never had one but that's normal, you just gotta pay attention to it. The lithium battery + type C makes it SUPER convenient to use. However, if you need a really good digital audio player go for the Surfans F-28. I can recommend that little dude. Expensive but quality. Back to business. If you're still hooked on cassettes in 2024 it's because you're a nerd, you gawk at those Bandcamp cassette releases and you like the warm fuzzy vibe of old technology but aren't dedicated enough to really get into 90's hifi and "proper" cassette machines. If you're one of the old tape heads, that's a no go. But if you're just like me, and want a cassette experience that's not total crap and like cheap cassettes for what they are, and aren't asking them to be hifi, then this device is for us. Don't let the negative reviews scare you away! But wait, how does it compare to the We Are Rewind cassette player (which I also have)? Aside from some missing functionality (Stereo recording, Bluetooth) the Fiio wins. As much as I like that device, it still has the horrendous motor noise during playback due to lack of proper electrical interference shielding (?). The recording would be good for a lofi musician or good enough for us average joes, and the Bluetooth of the We Are Rewind is awesome but not really needed. It's also about $70 more expensive, and it's poorly laid out. None of the buttons are oriented correctly for you to see what you're doing from a casual glance. I don't regret buying it but if you're on the fence get the FIIO. It's just so much better audio wise because that motor isn't screeching in all the quiet parts. One thing both players don't do great is the lack of rubber stops to keep the aluminum from getting scratched up. I added some generic sticky ones from this site all over the We Are Rewind so it can set on a desk. I might not for the FIIO because design wise it is so much prettier. Plus these guys need a case, preferably with an arm sling like they used to come with. Other than that, that's my clunky review. Full 5 stars and I hope we continue to iterate on these cassette players and give them back the popularity they deserve, even if it's an evolution of what they are now rather than what they once were. As for me this is a modest dream come true. It isn't my first FIIO product either, check out more of their stuff. Not paid to say any of this. I just buy a lot of their stuff.
