arsvita Car Audio Cassette to Aux Adapter, 3.5 MM Auxillary Cable Tape Adapter

Works great! I've had it about 6 months and it's still going strong and doing well. Extremely easy to use and designed well. No connectivity issues so far, so the wire seems to be durable. No battery life to worry about since you just plug it in and use it. I use this with the Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter to play music from my iphone (mine doesn't have a headphone jack) in the car. Works GREAT!!

Works as awesome as these converters did in the 90’s. It has a round jack so you may need an adapter to connect to you phone which is what we did. And it works great in our cars cassette player. We can now play our iPhone Apple Music songs over the car speakers

The Arsvita Audio Cassette Adapter aims to bring modern technology to vintage car tape players or vintage boomboxes that include tape recorder/players, allowing users to enjoy their favorite music from their phones without the need for costly upgrades. With its premium sound quality and classic design, the adapter appears promising, but it does come with a few notable drawbacks worth considering.Pros:Premium Sound Quality: The Arsvita cassette adapter's intelligent step-down design, dual shielding, polished metal molding, and gold-plated plugs ensure reliable performance and minimal signal loss. Users can enjoy high-quality stereo audio, immersing themselves in their favorite tunes without sacrificing sound fidelity.Classic Design and Durability: The 24K gold-plated connectors and pure silver wire core contribute to the adapter's impressive audio performance, making it a viable choice for audiophiles. Additionally, the premium metallic housing enhances its durability, ensuring it can withstand everyday usage for extended periods.Universal Compatibility: The adapter supports various devices equipped with standard 3.5mm audio jacks or AUX-in ports, such as phones, tablets, MP3 players, car stereos, headphones, Hi-Fi systems, and portable speakers. This versatility allows users to connect their devices easily.Tangle-Free Cable: The TPE audio cables' 15000+ bend lifespan and 10,000 plug life tests ensure they remain durable and tangle-free, providing users with hassle-free usage.Cons:Noisy Operation: One significant drawback of the Arsvita cassette adapter is its noisy operation. Some users may find the constant background noise distracting and disruptive to their listening experience, particularly when attempting to enjoy quieter or more subtle musical passages.Personal Preference for a Cordless Version: For users seeking a Bluetooth cassette dongle to convert their vintage car tape players or tape player boomboxes to Bluetooth-enabled systems, the presence of the 3.5mm male stereo audio cord might be considered cumbersome. Some individuals may prefer a similar cassette Bluetooth dongle without the attached cord for a more streamlined setup.The preference for a cordless version is specific to my particular use case, where a non-Bluetooth boom box requires Bluetooth capability. Depending on individual needs and preferences, others may find the attached cord more suitable.Potential DIY Solution:If users are skilled with technical modifications, it is possible to reduce the noise generated by the adapter. By opening up the cassette dongle and removing all the wheels except for the two that fit over the capstan and the pinch roller, the noise level can be mitigated. However, this solution requires technical expertise and could void any warranties.In conclusion, the Arsvita Audio Cassette Adapter offers a convenient and affordable way to upgrade vintage car tape players or boomboxes for modern music enjoyment. Its premium sound quality and classic design make it an appealing option for audiophiles and music enthusiasts. However, potential buyers should be aware of its noisy operation, and those with specific preferences might seek a similar Bluetooth cassette dongle without the attached 3.5mm audio cord. With its pros and cons carefully considered, the Arsvita Audio Cassette Adapter remains a viable choice for bringing Bluetooth capabilities to non-Bluetooth items.

I was really excited to be able to play music/books on tape/podcasts during my hour long commute. Originally bought the Bluetooth tape adapter (x2) which worked great until it kept trying to flip the tape over and would eventually eject. I bought the cassette adapter with an aux cord. I needed a dongle to connect to my phone. Worked fine for about two days and then the audio started cutting out or only playing bass but no vocals? I tried multiple different dongles so I believe the issue is coming from the aux. If I push the aux in a certain direction the audio comes through fine but I can’t drive like that so it’s useless. Considering buying another but not sure if it’s worth it since it would be my fourth purchase of an arsvita product.

Affordable, easy to use, and works exactly as advertised. My only complaint so far is that sometimes you can hear a bit of noise when the tape is in, but it's barely noticeable, especially when playing music. Great product!

Keeps popping out for seemingly no reason. Works perfectly when it actually stays in.

works well, the connection works well just bugs me I have to press start first before I do on my phone

I bought another one after my first one broke after two years of heavy use. For the price, this is a great deal! Used in a 2003 Hyundai with only a cassette player. I use it to play music off my phone.
