5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Durable Unit, August 15, 2006

I've had a couple of these microcassette players, and generally they do the work but fall apart too quickly.

This one, however is a bit more solid in the construction. The unit is easy to operate, the pieces seem a lot tougher than other comparatively priced models, and the sound quality is pretty decent.

I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a mini-recorder, for music, meetings or just some quick ideas.

This review is from: Coby CX-R122 Micro Cassette Recorder (Office Product)

I bought this recorder to digitize some twenty-year-old microcassettes I recorded on a Panasonic during a trip to Europe. About ten years ago, I bought a Sony microcassette recorder to listen to the tapes again. As far as I can tell, the Coby sounds as good as either unit during playback. The plastic body looks cheap, and the action of the control buttons is not as smooth as those more expensive units, but the electronics seem to be just as good.

I recorded my voice on the Coby, and the playback sounded as good as the other units both through the speaker and through the earphone.

As far as reliability, I transfered eight hours of tape to the computer with no problems.

The recorders are being used in a class for writing music. They work great!
