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.

Hello friend, I'm having problems with my jensen now .. 😔, I don't know what happened to him now with any hearing aid, it sounds good, I mean, I hear sound but I only know one side, unless I put the cable in an exact position And that annoys because in a minimum movement the audio goes away and it is heard very low, if you know how to fix it, I would appreciate it very much.

It looks like an audio jack issue. Try it with a different pair of headphones and see if maybe your headphones that are busted. Otherwise, it's probably easier to just buy a new player or contact Jensen support and see if they can fix it for you. If whatever you had connected to the player yanked too hard on the jack itself, it could have desoldered itself from the contacts on the board

What about the sound of the Byron Statics speaker? It sounds good?
@FilmsRuiz3 жыл бұрын
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

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

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

I have never seen a portable cassette player without a rewind button

Quite common at one time. It makes some sense as it does simplify the transport. I have an 80s Sharp with no rewind, works fine.

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.

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.

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
