Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
The Monster iCar Play Cassette Adapter seems to be an excellent product. I have not had it very long, so I can't necessarily comment regarding the product's long-term durability, but this thing works very well and is constructed of quality materials. There is some buzzing if you don't have the volume set correctly on your MP3 player, but once you adjust that the sound quality is very good. Some may complain that the sound is not perfect, but I think it is still quite good.
This product is definitely worth the money if you have a Cassette Player in your car & you want to listen to your MP3 Player without having to get an FM Tuner. If you are considering getting an FM Tuner don't. In my experience, the signal always fades and you end up with a lot of static (especially if you ever take it on longer trips in the car). Plus, most FM Tuners (even those of marginal quality) are usually pretty expensive. This, however, is relatively cheap and a good value, in my opinion.
With regards to product specific features:
-The end that plugs into your mp3 player looks pretty cool. It has a gold plated finish on the actual adapter and some spiffy red accents around the plug. I suppose the gold plating is supposed to aid in providing superior audio quality. I don't know if it is really effective, but at least it looks good. If you're worried about the end of the plug looking out of place, I would say that you don't need to worry. It is tastefully constructed and should look right at home in most environments.
-The cord that is actually attached to the cassette is adjustable so that it will fit perfectly into your Tape Player. You do not have to worry about it jamming up because of the cord (I had this happen one time with a different product and it was no fun trying to get it out of the Tape Player). It is also very easy to adjust the position of the cord. Since this product is made of quality materials, you also don't really have to worry about breaking it when you first try to adjust the position of the cord. You'll probably only have to adjust the cord once though, so it's not really that important.
-Please note that the cord is only 3 feet long. As a result, it is very nice for the driver and front passenger because the cord will not really get in the way. It really is an ideal length for the front occupants. However, if you want people in the back to be able to use it, the cord is a little bit too short to use comfortably. The people in the back will not be able to sit back and casually change the song (or whatever) on the MP3 Player. Nope. They'll have to actually sit up and lean forward a little bit. It's really not an issue at all, but it's still worth mentioning.
The most important thing, however, is the audio quality. I would rate that as quite good. Maybe not perfect, but still quite good. As a result, I highly recommend this product.
