You get what you pay for, eh? This item is poor quality and I recommend against purchasing it. The jack connection is not tight and sometimes gives only the left or right channel. The cassette part doesn't always sit right in the car stereo and can cause poor sound, too.2 stars. It would be 1 but the price is so cheap.UPDATE: The sound was so bad I had to buy a replacement. The cassette doesn't sit well in the player and required my finger to adjust it in order to get mediocre sound. I bought a Philips version and like it much better.
