1.0 out of 5 stars Mine was just horrible, November 30, 2005

I really urge everyone to stay far away from this product if you value your cassettes. The one I purchased mangled the first cassette I put in (an irreplaceable one - how could I have been so silly as to put it in without testing the player?). In any case, this product really is a piece of junk. But then, you get what you pay for.

I do want to add that amazon came through for me.

I bought this for recording my son playing violin for his review, but the play back sound was terrible.
Not clear and not big enough.
I was very disappointed with this one.
I should have bought Sony one.

This review is from: Coby CX144 Portable AM/FM Cassette Player/Recorder (Electronics)

I bought several of these for use in my third grade classroom, both for listening to tapes and for kids to record their own books-on-tape. Like others have said, you get what you pay for with this product. Right away I lost three tapes to these machines. Plus, the volume control is extremely touchy... the slightest tap and it's WAY TOO LOUD, slightly tap it the other way and you can't hear a thing. As I haven't even tried to use them as voice recorders (I'm not trusting one more tape to these things!) I can't report on that aspect, but the volume control and tape ruining issues are more than bad enough.
