Coby CX-49 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Sony Walkman finally stopped playing tapes, although the radio still works, after many months of books on tape and radio that gets me through housework, gardening and other chores. But, the only cassette recorder I could find when I went to replace it was this Coby CX-49. Halfway through a book and desperate to keep going, I bought it. The radio never gets in my favorite station without static (the old half-dead Sony is about a billion times clearer) and after owning the Coby for six days, I was sitting still in a chair when suddenly the tape starts distorting - turns out that, despite fresh batteries, one of the spindles has stopped turning. And it never started again. Don't waste your money like I wasted mine. I am now scouring the web for a stash of Sony Walkman cassette players I can buy up and hoard, because Coby is no substitute.

Coby's CX-49 Personal AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player provides convenient, no-frills, cassette playback, for a price it'd be difficult to complain about. Its lightweight, compact design features a built-in belt clip for portable use. Enjoy auto stop at the tape's end and a fully functional AM/FM tuner.

Stereo Cassette Playback Enjoy all your favorite cassettes at home or on the go, whether you're addicted to books on tape, picking up the latest underground cassette releases, or looking to revisit a box full of dusty mix tapes. The CX-49 features an auto-stop function, so it'll turn off at the end of each cassette rather than sit there wasting batteries.

AM/FM Tuner It's always nice to have options--tune into your favorite radio station when the tape's over with the built-in AM/FM radio tuner.

Belt Clip If you're doing some gardening, cleaning, or anything requiring two hands, just use the built-in belt clip to keep the CX-49 at your side.

Powering Options The CX-49 runs on two AA batteries (not included) for portable use, or you can pick up a 3V adapter to power it from a wall socket.

Headphones and Earbuds Included A pair of lightweight basic headphones are included, along with some earbuds for those who prefer in-ear listening. You can, of course, opt for your own favorites with the standard 3.5-mm output, or even take a line to your stereo's aux input.

What's in the Box Coby CX-49, headphones, and earbuds.
