SEMIER 80'S Tape Player

Buy on Amazon

Semier has been making great player for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. It does a great job of playing Cassette tapes. The sound is spectacular, very loud and well rounded sound from such a small speaker. It does not come with an optional power supply, and there is no belt clip or carrying strap so you will have to hold this in your hand as you are jogging or other activity. The earbuds they send are comfortable soft rubber. It is able to use electricity and comes with a cord to do so, as well as head phones.

The form-factor is nice and easy to use one-handed. The play function will automatically turn off and the play button will release itself when the end of the side of the tape is reached. It does use up batteries pretty quickly, have to change about every 30 days when using it nightly.

• Super awesome and brings back memories
• Easy to use and worth the money
• Nice clean retro design and good performance
