Custom printed portable stereo cassette tape players
Add you own full colour print to customise them for your band, event or one-off gift
These are ideal for bands, artists or corporate promotions to create their own branded tape players as part of a cassette tape order, set/series, or to offer on their own. Your artwork is printed on using a full colour and vibrant UV-LED print that is extremely durable and hard wearing.
These are brand new cassette tape players in a similar style to the discontinued Sony Walkmans for audio cassette tapes with auto-reverse, a USB connection for downloading tapes onto your computer, a 3.5mm headphone jack, volume control and your own artwork printed on the font in full colour.
The audio quality is not going to compare to a high quality branded tape deck from the likes of Nakamichi, Sony or Revox, however it surprised us in being much better than we expected, particularly if you plug in a high quality pair of headphones. There is some noticeable wow and flutter that would be more apparent on classical or acoustic music, but for rock or faster tempo music they actually sound pretty good and a set of alkaline batteries in our test lasted for around 6 hours.
The players are compact, measuring 113mm x 30mm x 90mm and weighing only 174g. They require 2 x AA batteries to run, although can also be powered by a 3V 500mA power supply (not included) if you wish.
Included in the box:
- USB cable and software (on a mini CD) to allow the transfer of tracks from the player onto your computer (but not the other way around, this is not a recorder)
- Basic in-ear headphones
- Your own printed custom stereo cassette player
Player features:
- Fast forward, rewind, auto-reverse, selectable play modes (A+B sides, then stopping or continuous A+B playing), volume control, stop and play
- 3.5mm headhone jack with basic headphones included
- USB music download connection
- 3V 500mA power supply (not included) connection
- Compact, portable design with good battery life of around 6 hours from 2 x AA batteries

Maintenance and care
We haven’t had any tapes chewed up in our playback tests, although keeping the playback head and rubber pinch rollers clean will assist with preventing issues in the future. We recommend using pure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) on a cotton bud for cleaning the heads and rollers, the IPA can be purchased online or from hardware stores or chemists for example.
If you are not going to be using the player for a while then we would recommend removing the batteries and ideally store the player in a dry location at room temperature.
