Customer Review: Coby CX-49 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player
Summary: 2 Stars
ASIN B00008VF5W - The space in the store that used to hold portable cassette players has been given over to portable CD and MP3 players, so shopping online made great sense. Until I got the player, anyway. Then it started to look like a very stupid idea.
There's no rewind button on this player. (I wasn't expecting it, but in case you are, it also has no recording capability.) You can fast forward, play and stop. If you want to rewind, you have to stop the tape, flip it over, fast forward, stop, flip it over and play. If you've not gone far enough, repeat. This is tedious and annoying and, worse, not mentioned in the product description.
This is a cheaply made player, which is a negative; it weighs next to nothing, which is something of a positive! Another plus is that it comes with both earbuds and headphones - which I promptly threw away because earbuds hurt my ears and headphones and baseball hats just don't work together. I use Philips HS430 Lightweight Clip-On Headphones. But it was still nice that the player came with both and you'll probably appreciate them more than I did. The radio function works fine for me, but only because I only use it for baseball games that are all on AM. I flipped through the FM stations and got more static than music.
If you're looking for a cheap player that doesn't need to last long, this one is fine, really. The greatest negative in my mind is that there are going to be piles of these things in landfills - recycle yours when it dies! On the other hand, if you're thinking of keeping it around for a while, take a look at Sony TCM-150 Cassette Recorder with Automatic Recording Level Control. It's bulkier and heavier but it's also sturdier, lasts longer and takes the same headphones - it even rewinds! (and records)

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.
