Coby CA-747 Dual Position CD/MD/MP3 Cassette Adapter – Customer Reviews
Great product! For two days!
-
When this adapter first arrived, I thought it was great. The sound quality was excellent, and free of all the distortion and interference I get from using an FM transmitter-style adapter (there are few open frequencies in the SF Bay Area). The first day, I used it for about 20 minutes total (didn't have far to drive), and it worked great. The second day I had a bit farther to drive. After about 30 minutes, it quit. Hasn't worked again since.
I didn't expect it to last forever, but less than an hour?
Yes, it has a 1 year warranty: just send the unit back with a money order ($6) to cover the return postage. Of course, then you're spending more in postage than you originally spent for the unit...10/27/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:

I was so excited about how great this product worked when I got it.I had purchased the FM transmitter for my wife and they do not work so great so I thought since my car had a tape deck I would give this a try.I was excited that I had all my ipod music with me, BUT after less than a week it the soundstarted going down hill to a point where I couldn't listen anymore with it.It is now in a landfill somewhere.My guess is I will need a radio in the car that is ipod compatiable cable.For now just have the radio and CDs I burn.

Well designed product.

Somebody was thinking when they designed this adapter. The plug that works for either style cassete player, the one where the small end of the cassete goes in first, or the one where the wide side goes in first. Plus the curly cord that doesn't get in the way. The big bonus is the price, it's half the cost of the Monster adapter, and it works great. The reviews of the Monster adapter are very poor. I first bought a DLO Transpod 2 FM Transmitter, big mistake. The sound was about 80% static as there wasn't any line of sight between the Transpod and the car antenna. If you have a car where the antenna is molded into the rear window, it probably would work better. Anyway this adapter and my iPod sound great over my car stereo. There are a few car cassette players that won't work with a adapter, if one adapter doesn't work, none will.

Quality cassette adapter
-
I agree with the others that have provided a favorable review.I am pleasantly surprised with many aspects of the product.It feels like a quality product.It is very quiet in the player having only a light sound of "clicking", which does not impair the reproduction of the music.The sound is very clear and not distorted.I am very pleased with it.

It's very convenient and simple to use - gets job done & makes the car ride so much smoother. Maybe it seemed a little quiet, but that depends on the volume adjustings... I might buy another for the other car. And, its value definitely exceeds the price that I paid. :)
