Best of Class

Mar 26, 2007 - By Neo

After using similar products before, I was very sceptical. However, after being failed miserably by the Belkin FM transmitter, I felt that I had nothing to lose. It's brilliant. Does exactly what you want it to do, without any annoying issues like cassette noise, background hiss, poor sound quality or poor built quality. You get near CD quality sound coming from your car speakers, obviously depending on the quality of your source in the first place. This is compared to the below radio quality sound with the FM transmitter. My most low-tech purchase for a long time but the most satisfying to date after all that unexpected frustrations with the Belkin transmitter. If you need something to connect your portable music player to your car stereo, this is it. One of the few times when the low-tech solution is the way forward. Heave a big sigh of relieve and look no further. PS If it sounds like it's being "underwater", press on your tape reverse button and presto, you should get beautiful sound. It's just the way these adapter works and it applies to all brands/makes.

Good piece of kit.

Mar 13, 2004 - By MR AJ SAUNDERS

This is the perfect piece of equipment for all you people who cannot be afford a CD or MP3 plater to take the place of your cars tape player. Simply plug it into your CD-Walkman or MP3 player via the headphone socket, and insert the tape. Simple.

The sound quality is not impared, and is very hardwaring. It also beats the cheaper 'Rio' model I bought previously - which broke after four weeks.

This is exactly what you expect from sony: good quality and durable. Buy one.

An essential for people who want great songs in the car

Dec 26, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

This is a great product. If you are stuck with an old tape player in your car (like me), but keep all your songs are on your MD or CD player (again like me) you will love this. The quality is excellent, better than an ordinary tape thats for sure! If you have a portable MD or CD player buy this now!

iDeal for iRiver too...

Jun 18, 2004 - By J. Crawford (Northampton, UK)

... not just an iPlod... (Did I spell that right?) In fact, anything with an 3.5mm jack plug will sound better with this Sony device. There are cheaper cassette adaptors on the market but they just don't sound as good as this. Trust me - I brought an iRiver!

Buy this - not a cheap one

Jun 6, 2005 - By S. Jackson

I bought the iRiver H140 and thought that cassette adapters were pretty much the same so bought one for around a fiver. Boy was I wrong. It rattled in the cassette player and never played in stereo so I invested in this one. What a difference! No rattles and great sound. So when you've paid a pretty penny for a decent mp3 player you absolutely have to invest in a decent cassette adapter - I totally recommend this one.
