Works with ipod at home with stereo as well! Feb 16, 2006
By Kgirl I just bought an ipod and purchased this AVB adapter at the same time. It was an excellent choice. I'm in my car all day for work and it was great to start enjoying my ipod right away. I found that keeping the volume of my cassette deck a little lower and compensating with the volume on the ipod takes care of any hiss. It sounds great and it was $10 well spent.
Update: I just tried using this cassette adapter with my ipod and home stereo. It's great! I just popped the adapter in the cassette player (the cord sticks out through the door, but it does close) and it works! I'm so excited that I can use my ipod with my stereo that I'm going to buy another adapter. I had previously tried using a cable directly from my ipod to the stereo inputs of my receiver and that did not work well at all.

Excelent Bang for the buck! Jan 18, 2006
By Eric Caney-Peterson I have been looking for somthing to use to listen to my music on the way to work in the car for a while.
I settled on this because of its less than $10 pricetag and eligibilty on super saver shipping and had almost nothing to lose.
It plug into the standard headphone jack of any kind. I use it for my cd player but you could use it for anything from an ipod to your laptop.
The audio quality is excelent.
The retractable cord is very convient although a little trick to first figure out how to use. It makes it much more portable and dosent get in the way as much as it would.
I have no complaints and for less than $10 it would be a shame to pass up.

Well, it was only $10.00 Jan 25, 2008
By Dennis E. Henley I've tried FM transmitters with my iPod but in Chicago the airwaves are crowded and the results were expensive and unsatisfying. I switched to a Philips cassette adapter than came with a portable CD player and that worked for a year until the sound died.
I then switched to an adapter from Belkin which was noisy (there was a clicking sound when it was playing) but worked. The only problem was that on cold days (and sometimes no so cold days) the auto reverse on the cassette deck would engage, making the iPod unlistenable. I thought I needed a new adapter.
This AVB had enough good reviews and the price was right. I also liked the retractable cord. But, when I used it, the first thing I noticed was how much more muddy the sound was then I had been used to with either the Phillips or Belkin adapter. Then the AVB started auto reversing like the Belkin.
I didn't want to order another adapter so I opened the AVB and removed the little mechanism that controlled the auto reverse, put the unit back together and now this plays without the auto reverse bug. The sound is still muddy, though. Adjusting the bass and treble has no discernable effect. (I should mention that I'm listening to audio books; I'm really looking for a good clear voice.)
Since I figured out how to stop the auto reversing, I took my old Belkin adapter, opened it, removed that mechanism, and tried that. Much better sound than the AVB! The Belkin no longer click as it plays; now it squeak. But if I turn the volume up I don't notice the squeaking.
So, I'd still recommend the Belkin and recommend the little surgery to remove the auto reverse mechanism (it was a little gear wheel combination. The wheel had a rubber ring around it).

We never knew how bad the sound was, before! Aug 22, 2006
By Ann McCann
"pastrytroll"
Thank goodness Radio Shack was out of junky cassette adapters. We then searched Amazon, and picked this model because of the reviews. We both listen to audible books on our commutes. My husband and I both had the same reaction: we had gotten used to our old adators, and never knew they sounded bad until we plugged in this one. We're not audiophiles, but the difference is striking. The cord take-up reel feature is convenient too: no cord strewn all over the gear shift and front seat. Now I'm writing a great review!

Don't waste your money on FM transmiters! Oct 07, 2006
By Elizabeth S. I had a more expensive FM transmitter and the sound quality pales in comparison to this product. My sister-in-law has a very expensive Apple FM transmitter and the sound quality with this cassette is 100 times better. It sounds like the music is coming staight from the CD player. There is hardly any distortion and it is amazing that this sells for only $8. If I would have heard this in someone's else's car and not known how much they paid, I would assume it would have been at least $50 (it sounds that good).
Buy it...don't hesitate for a second!
