SEMIER Small Cassette Tape Player, USB C or SD Card Audio Cassette to MP3 Digital Converter, Record to Cassette/Computer/SD Card via Mic, Loud Speaker, Headphone Jack, 16GB SD Card for Type I Tapes

Also did I mention... EXCELLENT QUALITY. I for real don't write reviews like ever, so when I endorse something, I MEAN it. I am a 22 year old man and am writing this via my mom's Amazon account through which I bought this and as soon as I started using this walkman, I felt extremely compelled to write this company/product a shining review.🏆 Just opened this guy up and after putting in 2 AA batteries, tested with an old Elvis cassette tape from 1973 and the SOUND is fantastic. 🔊 It came remarkably quickly and arrived in a little cardboard box; inside the walkman was seated in a little foam tray with the earbuds and instructions lying flat beneath. I felt very comfortable that it wouldn't have been damaged in transit. 📦 The BUTTONS are solid and don't rattle and have a weight to them that feels durable and WELL-MADE. Jacks for BOTH aux and mic are VERY appreciated and are both clearly labeled. 🎧 Analog radio tuner =🤌🤌. The video shows it sitting on its horizontal side but it also stands just as steadily vertically with the antenna pointing up. 👍 VERY easy to open and insert tapes. 🙌 I have tried other brands on Amazon that were fine but were a bit flimsy and got jammed or stuck pretty easily. I had bought two of one kind that worked okay but both started making screeching noises and quit working after about a month of very minimal use each. ☹️ It obviously hasn't been that long yet, but I haven't seen reviews here talking about this Semier stopping working (unlike the other one whose bad reviews I did not listen to🫣). I am actually really confident that that isn't going to be an issue with this walkman; it feels better and works better right out of the gate so I doubt that's going to be an issue. If it is as some point, it's likely a fluke or my fault and I can always return it/contact the company for help. 🙏 This has a remarkable PRICE and I truly see no need to buy anything more expensive as this does what it needs to and does it very well. 💲 The external speaker is VERY good. Keep in mind my video is of a super old tape and by nature isn't going to sound like Bose, no matter how it's played. 📻 The only reason someone might want to upgrade to a more expensive brand is to find one with a very VERY good speaker/Bluetooth compatibility, but we're talking about cassette players here which are predominantly intended for wired headphone use, so an external speaker is just a big bonus.👌 I tried the earbuds and they have a nice WARM sound to them and are really COMFYY. The earpiece parts are metal on the outside which just made them seem really fancy and cool. They have nice clarity (maybe a smidge muddy on some of the lower-mids but that's likely due to my tapes being old). 🎵 All in all, thank for coming to my TedTalk today, you've been a great crowd and I hope you will buy this if you're looking for a wonderful cassette player. If not then just to support these guys cause quality is hard to come by. Thank you and goodnight 👋.

I’ve been putting the SEMIER SM-I36 through its paces, and honestly, it’s a beast for what it is. If you’ve got a backlog of old cassettes that need saving, this is the tool for the job. Direct-to-PC Recording is Flawless Most of these "converters" are total junk—flimsy plastic that feels like it’ll eat your tapes. This one is different. The PC recording works flawlessly. I plugged it in, and the OS picked it up immediately—no fighting with drivers or weird workarounds. The audio signal is clean, too. You get that solid analog warmth without the digital hum or motor flutter that usually plagues the cheap stuff. The Breakdown Solid Build: It’s "small" but doesn't feel like a toy. The buttons have a real tactile click. Rock-Solid Playback: The motor speed is actually consistent. No dragging or "underwater" sounding audio here. Zero Friction: It’s basically plug-and-play. If you’re trying to digitize a whole library, this is easily the path of least resistance. Bottom Line It’s rare to find a modern tape player that actually delivers. Whether you’re hit with a wave of nostalgia or just mid-project trying to archive years of audio, the SM-I36 is a sleeper hit. It’s compact, reliable, and just gets the work done.

Works for what it was advertised as, but the product is super confusing to use, took us 20-30 mins to figure out how to use it. The product manual was of no help, we needed to look at other reviews and ChatGPT to understand how to use it. Otherwise not a bad product, material is cheep, and honestly it could be priced cheaper.

I bought this so I could go retro and listen to music on cassette tapes again. I bought this a pack Maxell 60 minute blank cassettes for the endeavor. I loaded mp3 songs on the SD card and loaded the blank cassette and hit record. The earlier tests produced a recording with inconsistent speed, with the audio speeding up then slowing down. I had to clean the play/record head. It was very dirty. I tried again. The transfer was successful but there was a constant hissing in the background. So if you're transferring music from sd card to cassette, look for something else

This cassette player/AM/FM radio is a very nice Walkman alternative but IMO it's too chunky to wear clipped on a belt. It's your basic old school radio/cassette player, meaning it doesn't have BT or an SD slot. With it, you can listen to AM/FM radio and play and record cassettes. It runs on 2 AA batteries or an external power source. A compatible USB cable is conveniently provided. It has a built-in mic for voice recording and also a microphone and earphone jack for plugging in the supplied earbuds. Its fit and finish are top notch, and it plays my old cassettes perfectly. The built-in speaker sounds loud and pleasant even at higher volumes. The AM/FM radio works great. I can listen to AM stations 100s of miles away with good nighttime propagation. FM stations come in loud and clear as expected. Its current price makes it a very good value. I'm thinking of buying a second one. I highly recommend it.

It works! I just copied three tapes onto the sd card and then transferred them to my computer. It was quick and easy. I was not able to copy them directly to the computer using Audacity. Most likely it was my problem, because I tend not to read all the instructions. I really liked the screen for the sd recording and the fact that I didn't need batteries, just plugged into an outlet using the usb cord. This was a little more expensive than the other converter I purchased last year, but considering that one stopped working I think it is worth the money. I like that I don't have to wear ear phones to listen to the tape. It makes it so much easier to hear the sound. If you are looking for a tape to digital converter, this is it.

Exceeded my expectations. I am a multimedia specialist and convert lots of different media for the members of my retirement community. I needed a way to record cassette tapes to digital format and reviewed some 12 devices on amazon. I selected this particular one because of the reviews and features. It is a little larger than casette player but appears to be well build. I tested playing a casette tape and the audio thru the small speaker was good, I tested with a quality headset and the audio was great. I recorded to the provided Mini SD card, then transferred to my computer and edited with Cyberlink audio director and the audio quality was very good, no hiss, or noise. I like that it works both with 4 AA batteries and by connecting a power accessory to the USB-C port. I also tested recording from SD to Tape and the autio was good.

The cassette player itself works, and the recordings sound fine when played with VLC. However, there is a serious problem with the files it records onto the microSD card. The product claims to convert cassettes to MP3, and it gives each recording an .MP3 filename. After Audacity repeatedly refused to open my recordings, I had one of the files examined. The machine is actually encoding the audio as MPEG Layer II (MP2), not MP3, and merely putting an .MP3 extension on it. There is no setting on the SM-136 that allows you to change the recording format. This is particularly frustrating because the machine comes with a micro CD-ROM and a link to download Audacity, yet Audacity cannot open the files recorded directly onto the machine’s own microSD card without additional conversion. The recordings are not necessarily lost—VLC can play them, and VLC can convert them into genuine MP3 files that Audacity will accept. You can also bypass the microSD recording feature and record directly into Audacity through the USB connection. Nevertheless, buyers should not have to perform an extra conversion to obtain the MP3 files this product advertises. The player is usable, but the microSD “MP3 conversion” feature does not work as described and should have been tested with the included software. Note: when you add raw data, the file is nothing but distortion and hiss.

Compact, nice design, good quality sound, works with batteries or AC. I am content with this product, so far.

Works great.

Radio and cassette player are okay. But recording -- totally useless .

El producto cumple de manera cabal con lo que se ofrece, transferir la música de casete a mp3 lo hace de manera excelente y con muy buena calidad. Los materiales del reproductor son muy buenos y resistentes. En general muy satisfecho con la compra, entregada en tiempo y forma.

It’s awful. It kept eating my tape and I tried different batteries, or USB..the problem is clearly with the cassete player. The reels only spin for three seconds befors the sound distorted then faded altogether. The radio is the only thing working fine but it’s not what I got this for. I will return it and buy a different brand.
