I’m giving 4 stars for quality! - The quality and durability is top notch! back in the day we didn’t really concern ourselves with how clear or muffled a tape sounded. just as long as it wasn’t playing the cassettes too fast or too slow. we just popped them in and started listening to the music we loved and songs we identified and would sing to! But in todays world we are wanting to go back in time and enjoy the primitive technology but with mp3 or streaming quality. the facts are is that cassettes aren’t going to sound that good back then and now. it will solely depend are you equipment for that! but this cassette player is by far the king of new age cassette playing! it’s either this one or the WE ARE REWIND cassette player. But remember less is more! this one is only a basic mechanism with an on board chip that has a high quality preamp for volume. WE ARE REWIND HAS THAT TOO BUT WITH OTHER FEATURES THAT CAN INTERFERE WITH PLAYBACK DUE TO ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION. Like Bluetooth and a mic in port. Those features need power constantly fed to them to be operational so you may hear a hum or a buzz while listening to cassette’s while the FiiO cp13 has non of that so there won’t be any electrical interference! The build is great! With an all metal body that feels very sleek and sturdy and gives it a good weight! And it has a built in 18650 cell battery so no need to go out and buy expensive cells any longer. I’m a repair guy on cassette players as well and I think I can disassemble these to get to the battery and belts to do my own repairs to the battery and belt situation! Cons- you will more and likely have to adjust the azimuth to get a clearer sound. Mine came a bit muffled sounding but I adjusted it and it sounds good! Overall I give the FiiO cp13 4/5! Review: Love it! Takes me back to the 80s. - Update April 2026. I got the clear one in December 2025 since I had sold the blue one to help pay for vet bills. I love seeing the tape while it’s playing. I have had the We Are Rewind player and it’s fine, but a bit too bulky. This Fiio player is the best modern era player out there IMO when paired with Retrospekt Koss headphones, also sold on desertcart. Can’t wait for the CP15 rumored to be coming out soon. I own many old school Walkmans that are breaking down. So I got this one because I like supporting companies that are putting out cassettes and cassette players. I have a Retrospekt and Aurex, both sound great but love this one as well. I love the rechargeable battery and it seems to play cassettes better that the other two new ones I have. Meaning, I had a tape play fine in the Fiio and slow in my other ones. This is also old school in that there is no Bluetooth, keeping it simple. It stops automatically when the tape ends but please note that it does not stop automatically when FF or RW. Not a problem because my old school players are the same way. This is built well and is very sturdy. Very cool design and high quality sound in my opinion. I use the Retrospekt Koss over ear headphones that sound great. Got those on desertcart too. I know there are people who swear by older Sonys but mine require constant maintenance that I’m getting tired off. Most everything is made in China these days, gone are the Japanese made Walkmans 😃. This player sounds great! Also getting a We Are Rewind player soon (yes I have a problem 🤓). I also really love the volume wheel on this Fiio Walkman, super cool and easy to turn the volume up or down. ## Features - FiiO have designed the CP13 with large oval buttons for playback controls (play, stop, rewind, fast-forward) on one side, while down the other side you will find a sleek volume dial, a USB-C port for charging, a 3.5mm headphone input and a status LED. - CP13 incorporates the imported audiophile op-amp JRC5532, a classic reproduction known as the "king of op-amps." Coupled with the all-analogue circuit processing, it delivers familiar melodies with a lingering and nuanced sound. - Crafted meticulously with full aluminium alloy, CP13's dual-tone casing showcases a seamless blend of form and function, with a "zero" visible screws design, enhancing both texture and aesthetics. Additionally, the buttons use a tough oxidation process, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The aluminium alloy volume knob features a large-sized analogue volume potentiometer, offering better stability, reliability, and an improved adjustment feel compared to regular cassette players using flatter potentiometers. - CP13 features a high-capacity 1800mAh lithium battery, providing more power and longer lifespan, offering over 13 hours of continuous playback and an outstanding standby time of over 268 days. - CP13 is equipped with a dual-mode power supply design, supporting both battery and Type-C charging. Connecting to a 5V power adapter enables charging, with mature charging, power supply, and overvoltage protection circuits for added peace of mind. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D41W4CS7 | | Additional Features | Built-in Audiophile Op-amp, High-Capacity Lithium Battery, Dual-Mode Power Supply | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,462 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #6 in Portable Cassette Players & Recorders | | Brand | FiiO | | Built-In Media | USB charging cable and quick start guide | | Color | Clear | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, Speaker | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 711 Reviews | | Cycles | DC Motor | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Included Components | USB charging cable and quick start guide | | Manufacturer | FIIO | | Material | Aluminum | | Mfr Part Number | CP13 | | Model Name | CP13 | | Model Number | CP13 | | Power Source | Battery Powered (with USB charging) | | Signal Format | Analog | | Special Feature | Built-in Audiophile Op-amp, High-Capacity Lithium Battery, Dual-Mode Power Supply | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FiiO - **Color:** Clear - **Compatible Devices:** Amplifier, Speaker - **Included Components:** USB charging cable and quick start guide - **Material:** Aluminum - **Model Name:** CP13 - **Motor Type:** DC Motor - **Power Source:** Battery Powered (with USB charging) - **Signal Format:** Analog - **Special Feature:** Built-in Audiophile Op-amp, High-Capacity Lithium Battery, Dual-Mode Power Supply ## Images ![CP13 Cassette Player (Transparent) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71asq3tUfIL.jpg) ![CP13 Cassette Player (Transparent) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Eea+JvHQL.jpg) ![CP13 Cassette Player (Transparent) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-4YD36byL.jpg) ![CP13 Cassette Player (Transparent) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s-uFoV0mL.jpg) ![CP13 Cassette Player (Transparent) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61E3a-HCXQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The 5th star is the cherry on the cupcake.

It's Great if you are like me and don't want to bother fixing a vintage walkman. While I absolutely love this device, there are some flaws I have to point out: 1. The speed was off from the start (I had to buy a tape to fix it by myself) 2. The wow & flutter readings are not really good, if you listen to music with a Lot of piano you are probably gonna notice some wobbly sound. 3. The lack of a recording function. 4.Lack of proper EQ for Chrome (Type II) and Metal (Type IV) tapes. Other than that the Unit Is pretty solid, it has a good battery life, maintaince (cleaning) can be easily done, and most importantly, sound quality Is good. I would recommend this if you're starting in your cassette journey and want something simple to start off. P.D. Fiio has a new cassette player in development, so if you are planning to buy this one, you might want to wait a little bit to have some more options. ## Frequently Bought Together - FiiO CP13 Cassette Player (Transparent) - Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/637833509-cp13-cassette-player-transparent](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/637833509-cp13-cassette-player-transparent) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
