Review: SOUNDS GREAT GET IT WHILE YOU CAN, IN MAYBE A YEAR OR TWO THAT'S THE END OF CASSETTE TAPE - TOP QUALITY TAPE, AS GOOD AS ANY I HAD 25 YEARS AGO. ALL THE TAPES I'VE MADE PLAY PERFECT AND SOUND GREAT USING ANY OF MY OLD NAKAMICHI DECKS. PRICES ARE HIGHER NOW BUT THESE ARE COLLECTORS ITEMS SINC ETHEY ARE NO LONGER MADE GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN. EDM AND METAL SOUND COOL WHEN PLAYED BACK ON NALOG TAPE, ALL THE BASS AND UNCH BUT THEY HELP WITH THE HARSH EDGE ON MANY OF TODAY'S RESCORDINGS. MUSIC SOUNDS A BIT MORE NATURAL AND LAID BACK ON THIS TAPE. I NEVER USE DOLBY AND THE NOISE / HISS IS NOT AN ISSUE.
Review: A GREAT GIFT FOR MY HUBBY - My man is a music man and he has many cassette tapes that are old and need to be re-recorded. I ordered him these high bias tapes for him to do the much-needed task. Along with these tapes, I had ordered the Marantz recorder. The tapes are quality but the Marantz needs to be exchanged for one that operates properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound aint cheap
*by M***N on July 19, 2025*

Was a tapehead in 70s-80s. We used to do one pass new vynyl Which necessitated having great tape. Was essential. Great Japanese equipment punished the ears of poor quality tape recording listening. Especially in auto systems. Wish I had a cassette deck in vehicle. Times changed. Maxell didn't. Prices and availability changed. I tried some of the modern level one tapes. My bride could hear the difference toot sweet. Tip o hat to Maxell...
