arsvita Car Audio Cassette to Aux Adapter, 3.5 MM Auxillary Cable Tape Adapter

Affordable, easy to use, and works exactly as advertised. My only complaint so far is that sometimes you can hear a bit of noise when the tape is in, but it's barely noticeable, especially when playing music. Great product!

Works fine. Sound quality is alright but there’s some weirdness in my speakers that doesn’t happen when I use the radio. Not sure if it’s the item or my car. My car is old enough to need a cassette player aux cord so it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s old enough to have speaker issues too.

The Arsvita Audio Cassette Adapter aims to bring modern technology to vintage car tape players or vintage boomboxes that include tape recorder/players, allowing users to enjoy their favorite music from their phones without the need for costly upgrades. With its premium sound quality and classic design, the adapter appears promising, but it does come with a few notable drawbacks worth considering.Pros:Premium Sound Quality: The Arsvita cassette adapter's intelligent step-down design, dual shielding, polished metal molding, and gold-plated plugs ensure reliable performance and minimal signal loss. Users can enjoy high-quality stereo audio, immersing themselves in their favorite tunes without sacrificing sound fidelity.Classic Design and Durability: The 24K gold-plated connectors and pure silver wire core contribute to the adapter's impressive audio performance, making it a viable choice for audiophiles. Additionally, the premium metallic housing enhances its durability, ensuring it can withstand everyday usage for extended periods.Universal Compatibility: The adapter supports various devices equipped with standard 3.5mm audio jacks or AUX-in ports, such as phones, tablets, MP3 players, car stereos, headphones, Hi-Fi systems, and portable speakers. This versatility allows users to connect their devices easily.Tangle-Free Cable: The TPE audio cables' 15000+ bend lifespan and 10,000 plug life tests ensure they remain durable and tangle-free, providing users with hassle-free usage.Cons:Noisy Operation: One significant drawback of the Arsvita cassette adapter is its noisy operation. Some users may find the constant background noise distracting and disruptive to their listening experience, particularly when attempting to enjoy quieter or more subtle musical passages.Personal Preference for a Cordless Version: For users seeking a Bluetooth cassette dongle to convert their vintage car tape players or tape player boomboxes to Bluetooth-enabled systems, the presence of the 3.5mm male stereo audio cord might be considered cumbersome. Some individuals may prefer a similar cassette Bluetooth dongle without the attached cord for a more streamlined setup.The preference for a cordless version is specific to my particular use case, where a non-Bluetooth boom box requires Bluetooth capability. Depending on individual needs and preferences, others may find the attached cord more suitable.Potential DIY Solution:If users are skilled with technical modifications, it is possible to reduce the noise generated by the adapter. By opening up the cassette dongle and removing all the wheels except for the two that fit over the capstan and the pinch roller, the noise level can be mitigated. However, this solution requires technical expertise and could void any warranties.In conclusion, the Arsvita Audio Cassette Adapter offers a convenient and affordable way to upgrade vintage car tape players or boomboxes for modern music enjoyment. Its premium sound quality and classic design make it an appealing option for audiophiles and music enthusiasts. However, potential buyers should be aware of its noisy operation, and those with specific preferences might seek a similar Bluetooth cassette dongle without the attached 3.5mm audio cord. With its pros and cons carefully considered, the Arsvita Audio Cassette Adapter remains a viable choice for bringing Bluetooth capabilities to non-Bluetooth items.

I’ve been using car audio cassettes for 40 years. I found one I bought probably 20 years ago unopened. I have a 1997 vehicle that I boughtNew. It still runs perfectly fine. It has a cassette player in it and I’ve been using cassette adapters for many years. I decided to open the 20 year old one and use it because the one that I was using is about 7 years old. Still works but I thought I’d give it a break. So before putting in the 20 year old one, I ran the head cleaning tape in to freshen up the stock deck. I do that periodically. So I put the 20 year old one in and it works flawlessly. Excellent sound quality, no clicking sounds etc.Because the 20 year old on was the last NEW one I had, I decided to buy another one to have on hand. So after quite a bit of research, I decided on the Arsvita car audio cassette. Not the Bluetooth version just one with an aux cord.It arrived 3/12. So I decided to see if by chance over the years technology may have improved, I brought it out to the car and put it in. All it did was self eject. Over and over again. So I went in and “YouTubed” it and found several solutions that seemed logical. Over 40 years I never had to do anything like this but I guess technology has changed, for the worst in this case. I tried everything I could find on YouTube, I took it apart took out the “reverse” wheel, that didn’t work. I took it back apart to more options I learned on YouTube. NOTHING but NOTHING would work. I finally just to it and threw it in the garbage. Save yourself all the headaches, never buy Arsvita products.

Bought a used 1999 Toyota 4Runner and wanted to keep everything stock, meaning no Bluetooth or AUX, so when I saw this I immediately ordered it. If you have an iPhone 7 and newer you need a headphone jack adapter, they’re not as expensive as they used to be and also work very well. It was so easy to install because you use it as an AUX cord and sounds great in the car. It’s not static-y, but you may heard a faint buzzing sound but it’s just the cassette spinning. You cannot hear it while driving because the road noise…it’s that faint. It’s held up just fine and if you’re on the fence about it, just try it you’ll be surprised by how well it works.

It works great but I broke the first one I bought. The end of the cord snapped off. Bought another one and broke it the same way. What happened was I would end up sitting on the cord and once I pulled it out the end snapped off

Works as awesome as these converters did in the 90’s. It has a round jack so you may need an adapter to connect to you phone which is what we did. And it works great in our cars cassette player. We can now play our iPhone Apple Music songs over the car speakers

I bought another one after my first one broke after two years of heavy use. For the price, this is a great deal! Used in a 2003 Hyundai with only a cassette player. I use it to play music off my phone.
