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 Review: Really good, would recomend. - 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. ## Features - PLAY YOUR CASSETTE COLLECTION AGAIN: This personal cassette player handles standard cassette tapes; pop one in, press play, and enjoy your old recordings the way they were meant to sound - RECORD DIRECTLY ONTO TAPE WITH ONE TOUCH: The built-in microphone and one-touch recording function let you capture audio straight to a cassette; simple and straightforward to use - LISTEN OUT LOUD OR IN PRIVATE: The built-in speaker works for relaxed listening; plug in the included earphones via the 3.5mm headphone jack when you want to listen without disturbing others - AM/FM RADIO BUILT IN TOO: Switch from tape to radio and tune in to your favourite AM or FM stations; two listening options in one compact device - BELT CLIP FOR TAKING IT WITH YOU: The detachable belt clip fastens to a waistband or bag strap so you can keep listening on the move; runs on USB power or batteries for flexible use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B019J4N6GW | | Battery Average Life | 1 years | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,116 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 15 in Personal CD Players | | Box Contents | 1 | | Brand | groov e | | Brand Name | groov e | | Colour | Silver,Black | | Compatible Devices | Headphone | | Connectivity technology | Wired | | Connector Type | 3.5mm Jack | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 3,152 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060108293907, 05060493822706 | | Headphones Jack | 3.5mm Jack | | Included components | 1 | | Item Part Number | GVPS525/SR | | Item Weight | 0.51 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Groov-e | | Manufacturer Part Number | GVPS525SR | | Model Name | GVPS525/SR | | Model Number | GVPS525/SR | | Model name | GVPS525/SR | | Network Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Number of Batteries | 2 AA batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Microphone Feature | | Special feature | Microphone Feature | | Supported Audio Format | Cassetta | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** groov e - **Colour:** Silver,Black - **Connectivity technology:** Wired - **Model name:** GVPS525/SR - **Special feature:** Microphone Feature ## Images ![Groov-e Retro Personal Cassette Player and Recorder with AM/FM Radio - Built-in Speaker & Microphone, One-Touch Recording, Belt Clip and Earphones Included - Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u-D37raWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this battery and mains or just battery?** A: Battery only unless you buy a separate mains adaptor **Q: Can you play and listen to audio books on this item.thanks.** A: If your Audiobooks are on Cassette yes, But I'd highly recommend finding an old high quality one which has been serviced. **Q: Does this record voice?** A: Sure. 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 L***S on 4 December 2024* Reliable and cheap.

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.fr/products/48720171-groov-e-retro-personal-cassette-player-and-recorder-with-am](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/48720171-groov-e-retro-personal-cassette-player-and-recorder-with-am) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
