Overall As a unit I have given this a five star and this is based on how I wanted to use it. I had around 400 cassette tapes from my youth in the back of a cupboard that had became redundant. I read some of the reviews and questions and I based my purchase on these.
1. Some of the answered questions are wrong. This does NOT come with phono outputs. It only has a headphone socket.
2. I does not come with instructions as stated on the box (mine didn’t anyway).
3. The Bluetooth function works as a receiver and not an output to a Bluetooth amp. ( I purchased the unit believing this was the case).
As a unit on its own to play cassette tapes it’s fairy basic. The sound quality is fair and the bass is ok. The radio works perfectly well and the Bluetooth function connects well to your phone or IPad. This does help improve the sound quality. The stars I gave it are for using the unit on its own.
However. The game changer for me was raking through a box of spare cables and I found a headphone to phono cable socket. I connect this in to a spare input on my Sony amp and hey presto it sprang into action.
This has now given my cassette tape collection a news lease of life and I look forward to hearing some old classics in the way they are meant to be heard.
I’m absolutely delighted how it has all linked up.
As I’ve said on its own you pay your money and you get what you pay for and the £30 tag is value for money if using it in a garage kitchen or to take outside.
Once connected to the amp then BOOM this becomes an amazing unit.

Wanted this player mainly to play audio cassettes, for £25 wasn’t expecting too much, but was really surprised with the build quality of this. Beautifully made, much heavier than you’d think, great radio, sound is crystal clear. Cassette deck soft open. Not tried the digital mp3 functions , to really bring the cassettes back to life I plugged in a 3.5 mm jack cable to an audio in on the Hi Fi, or a good external Bluetooth speaker ( Bose ), note this player is a Bluetooth receiver , not a transmitter. Brilliant buy
