Customer Reviews:

Excellent cassette tape for all purpose use [Posted on 2007-04-10]
Cassette Tape technology has come a long way.
While the technology is in it's twilight years,the format has benefitted from massive R&D over the years.
This has resulted in superior tape formulations,even in the low end.
This tape was a perfect match for my Sony tape recorder and several of my vintage decks.
In fact, the sound was so clear and bright I could not believe it was a normal bias tape.
And it is cheap.
Buy it you'll like it!

all right by me !!! [Posted on 2007-08-10]
Maxell manufactures excellent 90 minute cassette tapes for all purpose general recording. As long as you have the right kind of equipment, these tapes record the sounds of record albums, radio shows, CD-Rs, people talking and more. These tapes have 90 minutes worth of blank recording tapes on them so there are 45 blank minutes for recording on each side. The features of this tape make it good for recording lectures and music using standard, less expensive home stereo equipment. The tape playback sound will work well in any basic tape deck including the one in your car.

If you pay the Amazon price of $6.99 for the package of seven tapes you spend roughly 99 cents per tape and that's very inexpensive. The tapes allow you hours upon hours of listening enjoyment because you can record over them many times; and they take up very little room so they're easy to carry around with you.

Unfortunately, these tapes cannot produce the same quality recording reproduction as a digitalized copy would give you. This means that if, hypothetically, you were to copy a CD-R onto another CD-R instead of a Maxell cassette tape, the quality of the sound on the CD-R copy would be sharper and clearer with less background noise than a Maxell cassette tape or any other brand of cassette tape could give you. Maxell also manufactures higher quality cassette tapes including the Maxell XL-II. Moreover, cassette tapes can break if not handled with care. They can also break if used a few too many times, too. Therefore, I recommend that any important recorded material should be copied onto another blank tape and then keep that second tape in a safe place to use as a backup. These shortcomings frustrate me and therefore I will have to take off one star to make this a four star review.

The tapes have small pieces of plastic on the narrow top of each cassette which you can punch out easily so that accidental recording over an existing recording is impossible. If you do wish to record over an original recording then you can merely place a small amount of regular tape over the hole. The cassette tape is now ready to record a fresh recording.

Overall, Maxell makes a great choice when you want reliable cassette tapes to record music, the radio, people talking or anything you wish to record. I have used this brand for decades and I cannot think of any major complaints. I highly recommend Maxell normal bias 90 minute cassette tapes for you to use when you need to record something onto a tape.

Fast Service [Posted on 2008-01-18]
I use this product in my job and when I found my local supplier was out, I almost panicked. I went on line and ordered the cassette tapes and received them promptly. I'm leaning to depend on Amazon.com for many things.

excellent value [Posted on 2008-02-10]
This is definitely an excellent value. I still leave a cassette in my cassette player ready to record at a touch of a button. I have my ipod, but i also still have a sony walkman and i have so much good workout music on the my cassettes, that i still am old fashioned and record cassettes because it is fast and easy. the quality is never as good, but it works for me.
