Nice video! I have acquired and used a few vintage Walkman-type players from Sony, Aiwa, Optimus and Panasonic. Generally, they sound better than my Jensen SCR-68C (very similar to the unit you showed) and ezCap 318. One problem though with 20 to 30 year old players is they can develop various electronic/mechanical malfunctions, many of which are difficult for the casual neophyte who isn't comfortable with self-repairing these tiny devices. Also, some old walkman players haven't been used in years: possibly stored in a cool dry place, but distressingly some were stored in a damp garage or storage shed, or abused, dropped in water, left forgotten in a car trunk for months during a freezing winter, etc. I do love the vintage units, but honestly when I bought the brand-new Jensen unit three years ago it brought back my joy and interest in cassettes. Since then, I've acquired better cassette walkmans as mentioned above, some of which still work fine and others which need repair or adjustment. Again, thanks so much for your excellent video.

It depends. If your computer has a Microphone jack, just get a standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable and plug one end into the headphone jack of the cassette player and the other into your microphone jack and use Audacity to record your audio. If you don't have a mic jack, get yourself a USB to 3.5mm adapter like this one amzn.to/3evgAG1 and record the audio with audacity. Make sure the adapter can record in full stereo if you choose to look for another one other than the one I recommended.

How do I use the Jensen without earbuds? The audio only works when I have earbuds in it

Do you know the difference between the Jensen scr-75 and the 75s that is in the video? Thanks
@FilmsRuiz2 жыл бұрын
There's no difference between the two with the "S" denoting a special edition color. In my case, its Silver but they are functionally identical. Amazon had sold out of this particular one which is why I fixed the link and it leads to a basic black player.

Bought the Jensen because of this video and am really happy with it so I thank you! I nearly bought the Byron statics one but didn't when I came across this video because I just knew I'd be disappointed with how it sounds, which was my problem with other new ones I'd purchased. Thanks man!

Jensen or a sony sports? Sounds like the jensen sounded better than the walkman!
@FilmsRuiz3 жыл бұрын
The Walkman is running a bit fast in this video but now that it's fixed its about the same. My best guess is the Sony Sports and the Jensen are distant cousins and they probably use the same mechanism.

your sony walkman needs speed adjustment and also it sounds like the head azimuth is wrong or the head is dirty or worn. Byron statics sounded absolutely horrible. Jensen is somewhat decent.

Yeah some other comments pointed that out. I'm going to do another video with just a sound comparison as an update soon

I know, I gotta fix that, it's running fast again. The Jensen is actually a really good player in the absence of a retro walkman

I got my Walkman on Retrospekt. I have a video review on my purchase experience on my channel. It is a bit more expensive to go that route, but I bought it knowing that it was restored, and I could send it to them to get fixed if I needed it.

What about the sound of the Byron Statics speaker? It sounds good?

No. Not really. It’s a mono speaker with no bass and sounds like you’re listening to your music out of a tin can

Has anyone tried using one of these with an auxiliary cord connected to your car? My step dad really wants to listen to his cassette tapes in his car.

Not a car but my home stereo system before I found my stereo deck at Goodwill. It works great just make sure to watch your volume on the player and on the car stereo.

It depends if the heads are lined up correctly, and the speed is accurate. A cheaper-end Sony Walkman/radio with Dolby and tape select can sound amazing, if set up correctly. Don't contribute to landfill by purchasing modern inferior garbage.
