It will produce a low quality, muffled sounding recording of voice if you hold it close to your face. Any further than arms length and it struggles to pick up any sound at all. **Q: Does the unit come with a blank cassette to record to ?** A: No it doesn’t and the cassette playback often is distorted and slow. You really get what you pay for here. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it (and clearing up some info in other reviews) *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 December 2024* Reliable and cheap. I carry it everywhere and it consistently works.The only issue I have had is that the capstans do t take much resistance to stop turning so some tapes won’t play however it isn’t a common issue and changing the shell of the tape usually fixes it (most of my tales have sat in a garage for secession in poor storage so it’s probably just my issue). Also this is a feature not a bug so that the tape isn’t broken when it reaches the end.Microphone picks up noise of machine itself due to being embedded and I would’ve like a slot to plug in another but not a big deal.Other reviews have said that the recording button doesn’t work however I suspect it’s a user error. Tapes have anti recording protection to stop someone accidentally deleting their music. The recording button can’t be pressed unless the holes are taped over (there is a lever underneath that detects it) and the recording button can’t be pressed if the level is not pressed.Overall very pleased and well worth the money if planning to listen with headphones or a speaker (inbuilt speaker is low quality). Reliable device that I use all the time. Very portable, would recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good, would recomend. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 August 2023* Very good player/recorder, microphone is good quality, speaker is a tad on the tinny side but not too tinny where it's unbearable it has a good amount of bass on it to listen to your tapes. Makes good music recordings if you can switch to mono on a device like a tv and a few inches away from speaker and volume not turned up too much or otherwise it can result in distorting the recording.Only had one incident of a tape being eaten but diddn't happen again, so far so good, could of been that the tape had some slack on it and I haddn't realized. Radio is good. Have used this player on the bus before now. I would highly recomend you buy this if your on a low budget and you need a decent portable player/recorder.Takes 2 aa batteries and can also be powerd by usb which is also good. Had it a few months now and it has been a good player. I'm happy with my purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legacy tech. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 October 2024* Neat little player: runs off two AA batteries, which aren't supplied, but easily obtained. Wired earphones are supplied: the wire also functions as an FM aerial. The tape controls are simple and positive; a simple switch selects the FM/AM radio mode. Tuning is by a wheel: no preselects or auto-tune. Sound quality is reasonable, given the low-fi signal. The USB plug only supplies current, not signal output. No Bluetooth connection.As a simple cassette player, it's good within its limits. The recipient felt that it was perhaps 25% overpriced. ## Frequently Bought Together - Groov-e Portable Retro Personal Cassette Player and Recorder with Built-In Speaker & Microphone, AM/FM Radio, 3.5mm Headphone Jack and Earphones Included - Black/Silver - Blank Cassette Tapes 90min,3 Pcs Blank Cassette Tapes for Recording, Blank Tapes for Recording,90 Min Recording Time Cassette Tapes Blank for Car Stereo Systems Or Other Devices - Gowxs Orange Retro Over-Ear Headphone,Vintage Feelings Headphone,Retro Lightweight Earphones,Hi-Fi Stereo Earphone Headset,for Most Mobile Phones Playback Pevices Headphones and Earbuds --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48720171-groov-e-retro-personal-cassette-player-and-recorder-with-am](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48720171-groov-e-retro-personal-cassette-player-and-recorder-with-am) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
