My son falls asleep to cassette recordings from his grandmother.

Well, my ex-wife took his cassette player to her new house and I had to go out and buy one. The only cassette player in the store was Coby. It worked fine for the first two days, then began eating tapes. I couldn't get the tapes untangled and they kept breaking. I finally gave up and figured out how to record the tapes to CD and threw away this piece of junk from Coby. I also had a Coby DVD player as a free giveaway promotion. That device lastest exactly one day. It too had to be junked.

Coby is absolutely the worst manufacturer of any product that I've ever encountered. I really wish Amazon would let us give zero stars. They forced me to choose one.

This cassette player worked for about ten minutes....the on/off button broke and I was unable to play any cassettes...

Bought this unit as a Christmas gift for my adult brother mainly for the cassette unit. The first two attempts to play prerecorded tapes resulted in both of them being destroyed. The only distinction this unit has is to be the first Christmas gift to be discarded!

My bro gave this to my mom as all her oldies are on cassette. It worked for about 5 months or so. I don't recall exactly how many months, but not even a year. It started chewing the tapes. I am technical and tried to see if the rubber was out of alignement etc. I messed with it, and it still continues to eat the tapes. I'm going with a known brand this time thus I'm hear searching for another one, and definetely want to give Coby potential customers the real heads up.

I received this cassette player and it chopped clean the tape in the cassettes. This pile of tapes hadn't been listened to for a long time so I thought it was my old player. But then it ate a couple including one of my favorites. The player it was supposed to replace was a $15 player that worked for years. Boycott them.

I just needed a cassette player because the new vehicle I just purchased only had a cd player in it, and I have many cassette tapes that I used in my old vehicle. I have a long drive to work, and often listen to books on tape. I thought this would be a good way to still be able to listen to them. It works fine and the sound is very good, and you can't beat the price. NOTE: In amazaon's product description, it says that the unit takes 4 "D" batteries, it actually takes "5".

OK product for the money. Arrived in a timely manner. the sound is OK. Seems to work OK just dont expect a big stereo sound.

I have over 2 dozen cassettes and haven't heard them for years. This cassette player is just what I needed. The sound is good and its light enough to carry around. Well worth the money.

Got this as a gift for someone of an older generation who have not transitioned to CD players yet. The negatives of it are pretty much what every one-star review have stated: terrible cassette player, eats tapes, poor volume control, eject button malfunctioning. If there's a plus to it, it's that the radio actually works.

The portable player works ok,but like a lot of the newer portable players there is a small power hum when it's pluged into a outlet.The older portable players had better transformer shielding and probably used better transistors.I don't think you will get the hum with battery power.Still for the price not that bad.
