Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If you are looking for a no-frills personal cassette player at the lowest possible price, then look no further than the GPX C3132. The GPX C3132 does a decent job of playing cassettes and tuning in both AM and FM radio stations. The cassette audio quality is not exactly top-of-the-line, but it does deliver surprisingly good sound. The headphone cord doubles as an antenna for strong reception of radio programming. Because of the lower price, this player does lack some costly extras, such as Dolby noise reduction, antishock protection, and bass-boost technologies.

Many portable cassette-radio players have a tiny volume-control dial, which can be a nuisance when you need to turn the volume down quickly. We liked the over-sized volume-control dial, which is featured prominently on the front of the case.

Pros:

• Basic features at a low price
• Easy-to-find volume control
• Auto-reverse feature

Cons:

• No Dolby noise reduction
• No advanced features

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent product for a trivial price, July 22, 1999

This review is from: GPX C3132 AM/FM Cassette Player with Auto Reverse (Electronics)

This cassette player is a dream come true for a music lover who wants to quench his thirst for good music but has a limited budget. Even at such a low price the product does not lack in features. It boasts of several good facilities like anti roll mechanism and auto reverse, which gets rid of the hassle to rewind the cassette everytime after listening and also produces a good quality music.The extra big volume controller in front gives a novel and comfortable grip, also facilitating fine volume adjustments.What more it also comes with a headphone with a very decent sound quality. The inbuilt radio has a strong reception and the sound quality of FM is adorable.The headphone wire which doubles up as an antenna is the reason for this exceptional reception quality. In short I would recommend this product to every music lover with a taste for original music.

I bought one of these for each of my two kids and I'm completely satisfied. I have not seen another am/fm cassette player with these features for anywhere near this price. The sound quality is a lot better than I expected for the money, even with the headphones that come with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diamond in the rough, June 3, 2000

On a hope I purchased 3 of these little wonders just after christmas. One has gone by way of an irresponsible child, but the other 2 are fine. There are pro's and con's to them though. First, I must say that for the price, it's a bargain. I recommend that additional accessories are purchased for this product. New quality headphones, I use the fold-up model that radio Shack sells. A carrying pouch, the belt clip is bound to fail. What I like best about this unit is fidelity and output power. These units deliver a vibrant full range sound that rivals others many times the cost. These actually drive the headphones louder with less distortion than all but a very few personal, two cell powered units that I have heard. By utilizing the headphone wire as an antenna, radio reception is very commendable. I do regret that lack of stereo from the FM tuner but the fidelity and output power compensates for it well.
