3.0 out of 5 stars It works well, but has a few issues, May 28, 2004

By	"ptowndad" (Pleasanton, CA United States) - See all my reviews

My daily 2+ hour commute is eased by having my MP3 player hooked into my desk using this cassette adapter. I have had it for a couple of months now and as far as the durability goes, it has held up well compared with a Radio Shack cassette adapter that it replaced (since the connectors around the plug came apart.)

I do have a couple of somewhat significant issues with it:
1) the cassette adapter will reverse directions on a random, varying basis; this will happen at least two to three times each hour, but sometimes more. I know that this not necessarily caused by the player since it has happened with the cassette in the deck and the MP3 player off.
2) the power plug has different power plugs to mate with different types of players, but the adapter plug can easily get tugged away from its cord - there should be a better way to secure this; this can be easily be corrected with some electrical tape, but it is a minor nuisance. It has required that I be careful with where I route the cords to make sure that it is out of the way.

Otherwise, I think this player and power cord is a good value and would purchase one again

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality at a Great Price!, May 5, 2006

By	E. Vinson (Colorado Springs, CO, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this kit! It sounds oh-so-good! I especially love the fact that you can change the adapter plug on the casette adapter from front-loading to side-loading. Very convenient! I also like all of the voltage adapters, I have used it to charge my cell phone as well as operate my CD player.

As for the other reviews listed, I don't know why they would rate it negatively at all. One said the casette adapter didn't come with it, he obviously got the wrong item. As far as the one that said the fuse blew, I would have first checked the voltage regulator in my car...

Highly recommended product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product, January 4, 2005

By	Electronics fan - See all my reviews

I don't have any problem with the adapter and the sound quality is good. In my opinion, it deserves 4.5 stars. Actually most of the bad reviews here for this product are not fair. At least one should not complain about a product because he/she couldn't receive it from a retailer or received a wrong product. He/She should point his/her finger to the retailer, instead.
