Summary: I've had considerable problems
Review: i purchased this item for use with an ipod 4G and my 2000 Nissan Xterra. when the ipod was on full volume, i had considerable static and degradation in sound quality. the bass was barely coming through.

i got rid of the static and managed to improve quality by placing the ipod volume at half. even so, it did a far inferior job than my panasonic cassette adapter, which i got with a CD player in the 1980s!

the cord of my panasonic is somewhat damaged, but i decided to stick with it and return the jensen.

Summary: No problems so far
Review: Pretty good cassette adapter. For home stereos, make sure the "this side up" side is facing the tape window of the stereo. The adapter has 4 cord exit points so you can change it depending on how your car stereo works. The sound is alright. Just keep the tape head clean and you shouldn't have too much distortion. There's a very faint humming noise when nothing is being played but I believe it's my cars stereo [I tried it in another car and the sound is A LOT better with no hums/distortion]. I think this adapter is very good just for MP3 players [or any other non-standard player for the car stereo]. If you wanna play CDs, definitely buy a CD system for the car, it's well worth the investment. Overall, I'm happy with the adapter.

Summary: Works as advertised
Review: This adapter does exactly what you would expect it to do - take the output of your portable CD player and output it via the cassette deck in your car. Just play in and go. The sound isn't great - limited I guess by the low dynamics of the tape heads themselves. Build quality is fine - won't stand up to you walking on it - but should last fine in the car. Overall - a good buy.

Summary: Great Sound
Review: When I was looking for a cassette adapter to go with my iPod, it seemed like all of Amazon's selection had bad reviews. Then I found this product. It was a company that I had never heard of, but it had great reviews. So I bought it and got it in the mail today. Works great. All you have to do is plug and play, and I was very impressed with the sound quality. This product is great.
