From the Manufacturer
Music on the Road
Traveling with music is a great way to make a long car trip go by quick, but radio stations do not always play your favorites. Taking along CDs allows you to play what you want, but fumbling through discs while you drive is not safe and carrying a large number of discs can be awkward. Carrying personal media devices such as an iPod are a great way to take your music with you, but these devices are meant for a single user with headphones, how do your friends hear what is being played?
Driving Tunes for Everyone
With the Monster iCarPlay Cassette 800, all of the music stored on your iPod, iPhone, Android phone, or MP3 player is just a click away. Simply connect the cable into your player's headphone jack, pop the cassette adaptor into your car's cassette player and all of your music is now playing through car's audio system. Enjoy your music and share with the whole car for the entire trip...
Special Monster Features
Since cassette decks in cars are not always laid out in the same manner, the iCarPlay Cassette 800's cable can be moved from one end of the cassette to the other. This allows for hassle free operation, no matter how your car's cassette deck is laid out.

Anyways, enter the newer version. This one works identically to my old one, which in my given tape deck is extremely well. Coupled with my iPhone, Spotify Premium, and this tape adapter the old sound system in my late 90's BMW sounds very clear and crisp, without any unexpected amplification or attenuation of anywhere along the frequency spectrum. I've had previous tape deck adapters that somehow managed to erase all the bass, or the treble, or a combination of somewhere in between.
A few improvement to this one vs. the old model:
- The audio connector is reinforced and no longer at a right angle. I this this is a HUGE improvement, as the only thing on this that has the potential to break is the cord. Given that most of the cord strain occurs at the plug, I think this should go a long way to ameliorate these issues.
- The "gears" on this one turn, and are quiet. My old one had gotten noisy. A few reviewers made comments that this thing made a lot of noise while it was turning inside the tape deck. Given that this is essentially just for show, you can crack open the plastic case and take out the little plastic gears -- the sound transfer apparatus has no moving parts and is therefore quiet.
Cons:
- None to speak of. A few other reviewers have noted problems with their unit. I would guess it is more just an incompatibility between this unit and their car tape decks.
Highly recommended, especially for the price.
1.) Improved cassette head mechanism for improved sound quality. False This does not produce any more clarity or quality of the sound at all.
2.)Spring-loaded cassette head maintains solid contact with your cassette tape player’s head for clear sound. Also false, as soon as I put it in, I noticed that the sound of it was a lot softer than should have been and was not balanced between my car speakers(more sound coming from the right side of my car than the left side). I then attempted to move the cassette adapter while it was fully engaged and then it completely changed the sound; got louder. Moved it again; got softer and more imbalanced. I also live in an area with bumpy roads and every time I hit one the cassette moves and the sound gets thrown off.
3.) Dual Balanced conductors delivers more natural audio. Again false, while also first using it, I noticed it produced a more harsh and definitely less natural sound as they claim.
This was my second cassette adapter and the first one I bought was a cheaper Philips brand that they carry at Walmart. If you can find it there or on here for cheaper then buy it! It worked perfectly, I just happen to have a dog that chewed up the cable one day. So I figured I would spend a couple more bucks for this "NICE LOOKING ONE" instead. And it's just that, nice looking. No more, no less.
The cord is pretty good size for an adapter compared with others, but not as thick as the typical cord you would buy to connect an mp3 player to an aux input. It is 3 feet long, which is good for putting the mp3 player on the passenger seat, not quite long enough for back-seaters. I did notice the clicky-clacky noise that others have mentioned, but can only hear it when parked and no music is playing. Unless you're listening to a lecture in a parked car, I'm sure it won't be noticeable, but if it is, just look at the customer pics that show how to remove the gears (you'll need a small phillips-head screwdriver).

某自動車用品店で売っているものより値は張りますが、音質は明らかにこっちの方が良いです。
Only negative, the Monster casing on the plug comes off easily, and so it is hard to unplug the cable from the headphone jack sometimes. Not a big deal.
