Unfortunately, my late-model Honda Accord doesn’t have an auxiliary MP3 player Jack. After trying several devices that are supposed to play my iPod through my FM receiver. I finally decided to give the Belkin cassette adapter a try. Aside from the poor sound quality on the FM modulated receivers, I was also tired of the unreliability of the technology. When traveling, I was constantly having to switch through various stations to try to get a strong signal. This happened frequently running around town, but also when driving cross-country.

The Belkin cassette adapter promises the possibility of eliminating my broadcasting issues. Although the sound quality is better it still compares to the 10-year-old cassettes when played in my cassette tape player. Even though the Belkin cassetteadapter is nice, it doesn’t do my iPod any justice. Even the cassette in the player makes an annoying noise it’s hard to drown out. Luckily, you can easily drown the noise out by cranking up the volume on your stereo. It sucks that between songs I always hear that annoying clicking noise the Belkin cassette adapter makes. Another thing that concerns me is that the connection for my iPod is very shaky. You will notice this when ever the cord is tilted to the left or to the right it will drop out the sound on the stereo for the appropriate side. Even though it’s not the end of the world but it’s still annoying. I figured this is caused by a the manufacturer trying to make the device more universal for all connected devices.

In the end I think the Belkin cassette adapter is easily worth the price. This is another midrange adapter that offers comparable sound quality to all other car cassette player adapters on the market. I would like to try one of the higher end monster adapters, but for the money; the Belkin cassette adapter is definitely worth the price.
