@kevinh96 11 месяцев назад

@@thatonedude1003 No they don't. Tascam/TEAC make a fairly expensive dual deck that looks good but is still not anywhere near as good a budget double deck from the 80s/90s. It has NO Dolby Noise Reduction, it cannot record on Metal tapes only on standard Ferric tapes, it uses the same Tanashin knock off mechanisms that the even cheaper decks also use, although Tascam did use a metal flywheel instead of plastic, not sure if that's still the case with the latest model. All of the other dual decks from Marantz/Pyle etc. are all pretty much identical and even less well built than the Tascam. Absolutely NO ONE makes a high quality dual deck with Dolby B/C noise reduction and HX Pro with an electro magnet erase head.

@Hasse.Andersson 11 месяцев назад

I think.... (as cassette decks are made even today, albeit not with the quality as before) what you need is... Metal tapes combined with Dolby C - S and a real refurbished old hifi deck.... Those techs really created a sound that could host a good CD recording with very little loss....

@michaelturner4457 11 месяцев назад

I expect the wow and flutter is only mediocre, because it uses the same cheap Tanashin clone chinesium mech as all the others, as that's all that's been made now. Also it's permanent magnet erase, rather than AC, which is not so good either. Main problem with that, the tape becomes strongly magnetised, which does increase the noise significantly in the recording, as well as causing distortion. Whereas with an AC driven real erase head, it's completely degaussed. It wouldn't surprise me if this thing was DC bias as well, rather than AC bias, which makes the recording quality even worse. Although it can play all cassette types, it can only record correctly to type-1 ferro tapes. Because it doesn't have a chrome or metal bias position.

It's not even a Tanashin, as they stopped making cassette mechs over a decade ago. It's just a cheap chinesium clone of a Tanashin. It's got the exact same blue plastic permanent magnet erase as all the others, which makes recording not very good and noisy.

@hawaiifiles 11 месяцев назад

Great review. I agree 100% that the battery is a major shortcoming of this device. Built in batteries = built in obsolecense. Why can't these companies make devices with removeable batteries, like most camera companies? Wouldn't it be nice to alternate lithium batteries that you can plug into a separate recharger? The functionality and build of the device seem to be good, and playing all types of tapes is excellent. That means the mixed tapes I made on CR02 cassettes in 1993 will sound just great I hope.

Its a novelty only, a proper Sony Walkman will outperform this for sure (a serviced one)... The Bluetooth function is a good addon, its interesting.

@ShawnTewes 11 месяцев назад

One thing I've noticed with certain devices with built in 3.7V batteries is that the battery is what actually powers the device, and 5V USB port only charges the battery. This means that once the battery goes flat, the USB charging port won't be able to supply power to the device itself, as its only purpose is to charge the battery. I've seen this behavior in bluetooth speakers, old MP3 players and that sort of thing. Batteries of this type should be readily available, but when in desperate need, one workaround hack would be to find a DC adapter that supplies roughly 3.7V and wire in a matching jack where the battery was, but sometimes this can introduce hum and other noise.

This would not only make it easier to just switch the standard rechargable battery once its dead it would also allow this device to be future proof in case the mamufacturer stops producing parts for it

Good video again, hello from England. This is a modern take on a once mighty format.I seriously cannot see a sort of revival of compact tapes like the vinyl revival . Question one, genuinely, where do you get blank Type II tapes from? They are the only ones worth using for recording. I would image that the cost of D0bbin B and C noise reduction licensing was too great. Tape transport choice is minimal. No one is making a quality separate deck, belts on old decks wear out etc etc BUT if you want one, get one! That’s what I have learned in 40 years of Hifi. If you will enjoy something, buy it, regardless of what others say, and that is why your reviews are good because you say what things do!

Here here! I am a HiFi buff from 1978 and have been thru so many cassette decks and BIC pens, Pinch rollers and capstans but I still love this gadget!

@Brown_Sound 11 месяцев назад

A few answers. 1. Type II (chrome) and IV (metal) tapes are no longer being produced for environmental/waste disposal issues. I think there are a few tape manufacturers that make a replacement type II tape, but it's not specifically chrome. 2. Dolby no longer licenses Dolby B or C to manufacturers, so if there is a form of NR it's self made version. 3. If you just want to play some old tapes with some of todays conveniences this should do the trick, but if you are a collector of tapes and care about their condition, I would buy a quality, serviced, used cassette deck. Cheers everyone.

It most likely has noise reduction built into the (modern) sound processing chip and that's why it sounds good across tape types, it just doesn't have an external noise reduction button or switch.

@MultiWirth 8 месяцев назад

It simply doesn´t have any noise reduction built in. That´s not how it works at all. (dolby) noise reduction has to be encoded while recording and also at playback. You also must use the same dolby noise reduction system in both cases. You cannot play a dolby c tape using dolby b, there will be audio but it will sound terrible.

@HypnoticTonic-fc5ku 4 месяца назад

For a cassette player to play different tape types - it should have some form of bias control, either automatic or manual. Bias is all to do with different tape types, and whether they recorded sound sounds with too much of a bass response or too sharp with too much of a treble response., you need automatic selection of bias to get into the ballpark and then a manual dial for fine-tuning it.

while i think this review isn't necessarily deceptive, it is certainly biased on account of the fact that he was sent this cassette player directly. the audio quality sounding "fantastic" goes against the many other reviews of people complaining about hum, poor bias detection, and wow/flutter. it seems like he wasn't able to articulate anything about the sound other than that it provides that "warm analogue sound we love about cassettes" (a mind boggling statement to make regardless). this is especially suspicious that we receive absolutely demonstrations about how this cassette player actually sounds. i think it is fine if jared here likes the cassette player, that is a valid opinion. but please watch other reviews by people who don't have such a conflict of interest before deciding to buy one.

Great synopsis. Interesting that it does not have an Auto Reverse function either. I am curious to see how this product may evolve and adjust as feedback like your video and others are provided.

@michaelturner4457 11 месяцев назад

Quite frankly I wouldn't expect to see fancy features like Auto-Reverse in a brand new cassette these days. Simply because no company in China is making auto-reverse cassette mechs now. Same with Dolby noise reduction(Dolby Labs Inc no longer licenses it), or recording to metal tape(metal bias capable heads are no longer manufactured). If done properly these things might play your tapes with a rather mediocre 0.5% wow and flutter, which to me is very noticeable. It's not like back in the day of high quality direct drive cassette mechs, that could do 0.05% or lower wow and flutter. All you get now is a cheap chinesium motor driving a rubber belt to a lightweight plastic flywheel, and good luck with that. But at least this one is STEREO, unlike many of the others that are only MONO.

@ReasonablySane 11 месяцев назад

I sold hi-fi back in the 70's and early 80's. I was seriously into cassette in that I would record my albums onto tape and then preserve the albums by listening to the tapes. My two best decks were a Nakamichi and a Denon. I only bought one prerecorded tape and tossed it into a ditch on the road somewhere. Sound quality sucked. Fast forward to about 15 years ago and I noticed that garage sales and estate sales were giving away, or virtually giving away cassette tapes. I bought over a thousand of them. 3/4 are pre-recorded and I learned that they got better over time. I also ended up with a fair number of NOS bricks of type 1 blanks. All these tapes got me to look for vintage portable walkman style players and I ended up with five or six of them. Some with built in FM radio and some also with Dolby, auto reverse, etc., though none of them record. Using the 1/8 inch aux input in my car, I'd often play tapes in my car just for the experience. It is a lot of fun, actually. Brings back huge memories. This deck brings modern convenience to the whole experience. But to be clear, if sound quality is your main concern, Cassettes are not the answer. That's not their primary function, though.

Excellent review. I strong agree with you about the non-replaceable rechargeable battery. There is no reason for them to not to use AA batteries and design it to operate using rechargeable batteries if you choose. I used a portable CD player and did that for years, with the advantage that if the batteries are discharged and I'm out and about I can just buy a set of AAs and use them. I like the look of the unit, something plain and simple, although I'm not sold on the recording aspect. I'd rather they made it a play-only unit, and leave the recording to a tape deck.

Can you connect it to powered speakers via wire? I have Edifiers, and would be interested in plugging the cassette player in for full analog.

I used an aux cord to from the headphone jack on this tape player to the input on my powered speakers and it works

@@ezracampbell9974 thanks for answering. I bought it and did the same thing.

I have audio book cassettes, can I play them on the new portable cassette players? or are they designed for something else, these new cassette players.

@michaelelsy2209 11 месяцев назад

It's probably got Tanashin or clone mechanism which aren't that great to be honest.

Type III tapes will sound fine with Type I settings if recorded with the correct Type III EQ

I have a prerecorded cassette of Lynyrd Skynyrd that the studio recorded to chrome tape. The insert says to set the tape type switch to normal for playback. This is an actual tape from MCA records. NOT HOMEMADE.

Being rather bulky and having those sharp edges this needs to have a nice case and shoulder strap, if not included at least as an option. The battery is a drawback, and I would prefer a removable/replaceable that can charge inside the unit. If it's not a three head deck you can't listen to the recording straight off the tape. I'm wondering who makes the tape mechanism, is it a mediocre Chinese clone? I think it's not that bad a price for the construction, if it holds up. I am tempted.

Oddly the wireless retro headphones they bundle with the player are way too low. The sound volume was not even at a mid level. It was just horribly low. I tried another wireless headset, same thing. I asked for a replacement player and same thing. I did try my Sony headphones and they were a lot louder. So I will try some of the headphones you mention. Thanks.

While I preciate the effort of the French to carry on the torch, I am shocked at how clunky this things looks. Jony Ive, if he had any hair left to spare, would go bold in a second if he had to review the design. It's just an oversized box. Compare that to the Sony Walkmen from the early 90s. Still got three of those. They still function, albeit they all run with different speeds. But 30+ years later, they still operate - and you can replace the batteries straightaway. My WM EX 50 purrs like a cat and looks like a Lambo compared to this metal box. They have to bring the size way down and reshape it.

It's a step in the right direction, but they're stuck with the poor mechanism that is available today; the wow and flutter spec is ten times worse than that of my 1990s cassette deck. Three things are needed - decent mechanisms, _decent_ new type 2 & 4 tapes, Dolby to be persuaded to licence their noise reduction systems again. However, the fact that this is well built means that cassettes are possibly being taken a little more seriously again, so here's hoping. I'm not a fan of inbuilt batteries and would rather it was powered by AAs. I recently bought an electric toothbrush and had a choice from the same manufacturer of inbuilt or AAs; the AA version was 1/3 of the price and I simply use eneloop rechargeables in it which last for months. Overall though, good to see some more impressive cassette players appearing.

Love that someone tried but for that price to not have AM/FM radio is a deal breaker for me. With many artists now releasing their new music on cassettes again let's hope that Sony decides to make a Bluetooth/rechargeable battery powered Walkman.

That cassette player must be awesome if it can make these orange Koss headphones produce something that can be classified as “great”. I think everyone that has these will know exactly what I mean.

I assume the color names are references to Serge Gainsbourg, Kurt Cobain, and Keith Richards. I mean, if I was to associate colors to those artists, those are the colors I'd probably choose. That, and when you think about it, hearing those names kind of invokes the nostalgia for those "celluloid" days, whether or not you're familiar with those artists. Awesome marketing, really.
