Reviews for Monster iCarPlay Cassette 800 for iPhone and iPod

I tried other adaptors that didn't work. This one works perfectly, even on the original iPhone, which is what I have. In fact, I think the sound is better than the actual CDs. No problems to report!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Monster cassette adapter. I have an older Bose system in my Corvette that I don't want to replace. The sound is great but, unfortunately, it does not an auxiliary feature so I haven't been able to use my iPhone with it. I have tried other cassette adapters but they all produced a noticeable hiss while playing. I was blown out of the water when I inserted the Monster 800. The sound was better than my CD player (although this may be the result of an electrical issue with my car). The sound was clear and, frankly, amazing. I was just about reconciled to getting rid of my Bose and buying an aftermarket system, but for $24, I am now able to use iPods and my iPhone and get the most out of my current system. One thing, though. Make sure you get the 800 model. I read reviews elsewhere that earlier models produced hiss. This model, on the other hand, has received very positive reviews.

I just bought this cassette adapter and all I can say is wow! My mom has really good Pioneer speakers in her doors and two subwoofers in the back. This product really helps with sound quality, in my case I bought it for clearer bass. It really helps out and makes the bass feel like its pulling you. It will make a difference in high end speakers. Always buy Monster Cable!

Overall the sound quality is pretty good but not great, but the main reason for my review is that someone mentioned that they could only hear audio through their speakers when on a phone call and that the other person could not hear them. I just purchased this adapter today (9/1/09) for use with my iPhone and I am able to have the audio go through my car stereo during a call and people on the other end can hear me.

I hate to be the one negative reviewer, since I bought this product based on the previous ratings. I bought and returned two of these. Both had the same problem in that it played fine for a half-hour or so, and then the sound quality diminished into noisy static.

I thought it might be my car unit. However, I bought another one by a different manufacturer, at less than half the cost, and it has worked fine.

Gremlins?

I have tried several different FM transmitters only to be disappointed of extreme static and always having to change the channel. We went to the apple store this past Saturday after once again searching for a transmitter to play my Iphone music in my car. We decided on the Monster iCarPlay 800 tape transmitter after reading the reviews. I have to say I am thrilled! No more changing stations and static. We live in Jacksonville, FL a good sized city and I can now play my music with no interference and the quality of the sound is awesome! I highly recommend this product if you have a tape deck and are looking to play your music in your car off your iPod or iPhone. You won't be disappointed! I'm lovin it.

I have a 2006 Infiniti FX 35 with bose speakers. I bought a cheeper brand from Target only to realize that the quality sucked. Now with the Monster icarPlay Cassette 800 the sound is almost perfect i can rase the volume to max and still not hear the clicking nor the static from the cassette like my cheaper version. BEST PRODUCT IN MY CAR!

This is such a terific product! I just got my first car, and unlike my mom's Ford Taurus X, my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT doesn't have an auxilary input jack. So, i ordered this and was amazed at the sound quality. It sounds great with my MONSOON audio system.
