C-cassette was miraculous invention. It was now possible to listen to music where-ever, even if you was walking.
Try to carry a vinyl player with you, not so easy is it now?
But with C-cassette this became possible. Powered by a two AA batterise.
Sony Walkman is now 40 years old c-cassette player. Now Hongkongians have kicstarted a wireless c-cassetteplayer which you can carry around to listen to your old cassettes.
The player requires simply two AA batteries. It will cost you 80 monies. They said they will ship to Europe too, with the price of 20 for shipping therefore making total sum of 100 monies.
>no mention of cassette mechanism Every modern player has a shit mechanism that sounds horrible. Nobody makes good cassette mechanisms anymore. You're better off just buying a vintage Walkman and replacing the belt if it's turned to goo. >Classic Monaural Sound Oh my fucking god...
You're mixing up several eras in an attempt to be funny. Stop.

They appear to be taking a generic cheapo tape player that goes for $12 on Amazon, adding a Bluetooth chip, slapping a logo on it, selling it for a lot more, and somehow blowing $50K on developing what would otherwise be an afternoon DIY project.
Ian Lee
If you're going to do this, at least to it right instead of trying to chink your product as much as possible.
That's not a scam, that's smart. You think your taiwan monitor cost $500 to make?
Logan Lopez
More than connecting wired headphones. Sure.

Wyatt Baker
it only plays type 1 cassettes and its mono. nothing else.
Eli Perry
do you think the 12$ cassette player took 12$ to make? also buying a product and selling it for 4 times the price under a different name and somehow pocketing 50k beforehand is a literal scam though
Mason Moore
Bluetooth is like a 10ma. 2 double AA is 6000mah. do the math Einstein.

Who cares about the website? It has HQ pictures of that walkman, I'm not telling you to buy it from there.

I don't think you understand what a scam is. If you don't like the price go make your own.

op's english is cute, this is meant as an actual compliment not a critisism, the wording changes made it fun to read i wish sometimes people would sortof put some personality like this into their less formal writings
as for the cassette player i'm interested but i think its too expensive and i would rather have a portable cd player that can rip to sd card on itself, maybe even burn disks, maybe even play audio or data dvds and obviously play sd or internal flash mp3/flac in addition to the cds, and bluetooth of course as well and maybe some fancy kind of new design, or at least somehthing similar to late 2000s sony and pana
bluetooth is gay. i want it all in, no losses, plug the cable, big boy

fuck that, I want Schiit audio to release their turn table already and I would love for someone to make a new SACD transport

this is absolutely retarded. shit casette quality vs flac loseless audio.
Benjamin Carter
flac file is still digital. cassette is analog. good cassette in a good player is superior. you cant spot the difference for shit, and a cassette player is way more painful to deal with these days, but technically speaking you are very wrong.
Jeremiah Rivera
also if you record the playback of that FLAC to tape you end up with a much higher quality recording than any commercially produced cassette, including digitally-mastered tapes. cassette can easily sound bad but they can also sound very good. Better than digital? Nah, but magnetic tape accentuates certain ranges of frequencies that make the sound meatier, while cutting extremely high frequencies thereby increasing the perception of smoothness.
Thomas Miller
>and a cassette player is way more painful to deal with these days
maybe if you have a bunch of them they aren't hard to clean or restore unless they are super gimmicky or something and they all sound pretty good, even the "shit" ones. the cheap ones have shit amps and poor build quality just like cell phones and mp3 players and every other personal music player since the dawn of time. they only eat tapes if you neglect them for years and the rollers get sticky with tape oxide. a quick scrub on the rollers, capstan and head with an alcohol-soaked q-tip is all most of them need. cheap rubber drive belts break too, but unlike the '80s you can buy a huge pack of assorted belts off the internet and have it shipped to your house next day.
it's less of a hassle to fix a desktop computer, honestly, and that's how I make a living.
>cassettes player with 5 dollar Bluetooth. >not using lithium-ion >chargine 80 bucks
fucking garbage.
Adrian Flores
How long will a cassette usually last before noticeable degradation if played in a decent, but still consumer grade deck?
Robert Wood
can just buy lithium AAs but agreed
this tape player is from 1987 and came with a rechargeable battery as well as an external AA caddy. They did it then, they could do it now. I've actually been scheming how to fit a BT audio module in the battery cavity but looks like the chinamen beat me to it.
long enough you will probably get bored of the music that is on it before you notice it starting to fail. however some golden ears audiophools say you can hear a difference by the second play that the higher frequencies have been muffled ever so slightly, and I can sort of confirm that with a kind of crappy old tape and a cheap deck that this might be the case, but on a reasonable consumer grade deck and using quality tapes you would have to play that entire tape hundreds of times to actually notice the loss in high frequencies or cause it any damage that couldn't be rerecorded. I have a Chumbawumba - Tubthumper tape I damaged in a very old '60s tape player that had a magnetized head, I was able to rerecord the entire album back onto the original cassette using a torrented FLAC rip and it sounds pretty good still.
basically don't play your tapes in very very old or neglected decks and you will be a-ok.
Jackson Gonzalez
Depends entirely on how often it is played, and how it is stored, what it is made out of, and how it was mastered for casette (Dolby, etc). I have plenty of tapes from the 80s that sound great still; I have many recent tapes that sound like ass. You can't license Dolby noise reduction anymore, and no modern players can license it for playback either.
Dominic Lewis
it's hard to give a good estimate because it depends on the tapes, their age, how much they've been used, how they're stored and the temperature when they are being played. best case scenario on a clean deck with a pristine head inside at normal room temperature on like a TDK SA, you might actually get thousands of plays out of it. that cellophane tape with magnet dust on it they sell at wal-mart to hipsters who saw gotg will probably snap the instant it's played after sitting in a hot car all day.
a good deck is just very gentle and a good tape spins freely and has thick oxide made of small particles. you don't need a nakamichi dragon or some wacky pro-level tape formulation, just stuff that doesn't suck and the same care you use with every other musical media format.
Wyatt Anderson
No because no one called it a vhs cassette, it was a VHS tape! Cassette cause it was smaller and for cassette players!
Wyatt Lewis
This is literally what Walmart does to Americans every day.
Liam Russell
it sounds like a stutter i'm calling it c-cassette from now on
Isaac Reyes
What are you on about? Walmart's business model is small margins made up in volume.
Robert King
Cassette was the worst era on the history of audio >not even analog signal, completely digital like any media file you can hear on your phone, but with the differnce that its absolutely shit for storage and degrades over time >needed to rewind them shits >shit storage density and loads of cash in investment to even make your own tapes and listen to what you actually wanted >same size as diskman after considering the player, but shittier in every other way, no wonder it was dropped asap At least vinyl has thecadvantage of being analog and thus enticing to boomer retards, but tape has literally no positive whatsoever
Parker Roberts
>If you're really THAT nostalgic about c-cassetes.
>carpenters literally just take wood and some tools to make furniture. You're just paying an up charge for them to do work for you. A DIYer with sufficient expertise could do it for cheaper!

A less retarded analogy would be >seller just takes prebuilt home and assembles it before the buyer can see. Then sells it as a custom mcmansion for a measly 200% markup.
Levi Evans
It's pretty clear he doesn't instead to buy one. I doubt the intelligence of anyone on Jow Forums who would buy a $12 amazon cassette player for more than $12. Especially since it takes about 2 brain cells to solder a blutooth chip in.
Then again /csg/ will guzzle any cum as long as it's from Chang and gang.
Thomas Gonzalez
is there any dead horse left that hipsters hasn't tried to bring back to life by beating it?
James Ramirez

Bentley Taylor
we just called it a video, or when dvd came out 'video tape'. there was no confusion since it was the leading format
Leo Bailey
is likely right. It's not really more than an afternoon project with a fixed case. Other than that I don't think there's much wrong with. Most people lack the capability to make it an afternoon project, a bit of nostalgia and a not completly terrible case seems like a fair trade off for the price. People here seem to forget that value isn't determined by material value but by supply and demand.
That's just retarded. Did you steal it from the audiophile threads?
Cooper Reyes

>THIS C-CASSETTE PLAYER is wireless. Asians are so good at milking white retards dry of their money
Aaron Fisher
Um it isn't a custom case. It's the same case as the $12 one on Amazon, with a cheap Bluetooth transmitter added. It's also worth noting that it has a poor mechanism and only plays in mono.
