casette is only good to listen if you have one of those hifi cassette decks that can output higher quality sound. I had one last time, forgot which brand already iinm it was sansui, the sound quality is night and day vs normal casette players.

Very similar to this one

Still don't like the lower volume of cassette which make listening experience numb.. but every format exist is to fix or improve issue face by previous format

For now vinyl, cassette and CD more like novelty items

most people want the old stuff....not the new stuff
the new stuff doesn't have any value at all

These china brand are just keeping the hobby alive, who would have made a cassette player now

If can't find old ones this the next best option also good for you gen to discover older formats
