Review: Do not buy this adapter if you intend to use it with the iPod. The sound quality is very poor.

Summary: poor quality
Review: I bought this for my iPod. It works ok but the sound quality is awfull. I have an very old Panasonic adapter and even Panasoic sounds much better than this Belkin. Also Belkin adapter is very poorly constructed that there is a lot of hissling and noise while playing. Only buy this adapter if you like heavy metal music so that you can supress the static noise with heavy drums and bass:)

Summary: Rattletrap
Review: I bought this item to hook up to my iPod while driving my Honda Pilot. The sound quality is reasonable especially considering the price - better than the FM transmitter I was using before - but the product is close to unusable because of the noticeable rattling from the adapter's wheels. Very disappointing. I've read similar reviews about the Monster: too much unwanted noise and rattling. I had a MacAlly adaptor about two years ago for use with my office cassette player, and it eventually started rattling and then the wire broke. I'm going to check out the Sony version which seems to get higher reviews.

Summary: Works in one car but not the other
Review: I bought this to use in my 2003 Infiniti G35 (factory Bose system) after trying three different types of FM transmitters (all of which worked fine unless you were within 50 miles of any city with a poplulation over 10,000).
It just did not work, period.
I took into work and tried it in my staff vehicle (2003 Dodge Caravan, factory system) where it works OK. I brought the Sony adapter I had at work home and it works fine in the G35.
However, the last time I was on a multi-hour road trip at work, I noticed the Belkin adapter is starting to make an annoying amount of mechanical noise. I may try to pop it open and see if there's any way to reduce the racket it's making, but I'll probably end up buying another Sony. The Sony adapter I have is at least ten years old and still works OK.

Summary: Loud and obnoxious
Review: I don't know if it's common to all of these tape-type adapters, but the noise coming from the tape player is so loud you can hardly hear the music unless you're blasting it. We also get a strang buzzing once in a while as it plays. Don't bother with this. I've heard the FM adapters are no good in urban areas either, so I reccommend an adapter that hooks to your CD Changer input if that's an option for you.

Summary: Good for Audiobooks
Review: I use this adapter to listen to AudioBooks in my 2001 Toyota Corolla (which has a factory-installed tape deck). It worked fine, although apparently some other Toyota owners have had some difficulties. I am glad I have this because otherwise I can't really use the radio transmitter adapter since the San Francisco area has too many radio stations.
The sound quality is fine for audio books, though there is some clicking and whirring from the cassette player attempting to turn the wheels of this pseudo-cassette. I imagine that would get very annoying if you were listening to music.
I do find that sometimes ejecting the adapter and then re-inserting changes the volume and/or sound quality. It seems to be sensitive to the way it is seated in the casette player.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I was a little weary before getting this. I chose the cassette adapter over an FM transmitter after reading several reviews of both. We bought the cassette adapter as part of the Belkin Accessory Kit and tried it in the parking lot right after it was bought. I was very very surprised at the great sound it had. I was very surprised that I had read bad reviews of this because it sounds really quite great. On a scale of 1-10 I would have to rate it a very high 9. Definitely give this a try!

Summary: Yeah, Too Loud
Review: I'd agree with some of the earlier comments. I got this as part of an iPod package deal thing. I already had I believe a Memorex version of the adapter from way back in the day when I'd use my Discman in the car. I tried this new one just for the heck of it and the rattling was very distracting. Went back to the 15-year-old model I have and it works just great...

Summary: Disappointing
Review: On the plus side:
1. This cassette adapter works in my Passat's stereo, unlike the Sony adapter, which did not.
2. Sound quality and usability are both better than the iTrip.One the minus side:
1. The sound quality is miserable. Bass is almost totally missing. The midrange dominates, and most of the high end is muted. This problem is so bad that adjusting bass/midrange/treble on my stereo cannot compensate. For reference, actual cassettes sound great in this same stereo.
2. This cassette adapter has gears in it that make both spindles turn when one is turning. This is probably what makes it work in my stereo, however it does make some sound. The end result is some mechanical noise that gets in the way of quiet parts of the music.

Summary: Satisfied
Review: So far, this has been working really well. I know people that have used others that have begun to fray and do not have very good sound. I suggest this one over the others most definitely!
