Review: Quality Product - The Fiio CP13 was promptly delivered and exceptionally well packed. Feel/Quality The Fiio CP13 is a delight to hold and feels like a well-made quality product. It has a simple design and solid buttons which should hopefully last a long time. Operation The operation is simple and manual with strong chunky buttons for play, rewind, fast forward & stop. It has an auto stop on play but not on rewind or fast forward so please be aware of this if you have a weak or fragile tape. I found this to my cost when it chewed one of my 1970’s tapes. Cons There is no button to open the cassette door so this may prove difficult if you have limited manual dexterity. Sound Quality (dependent upon how recorded) The sound quality has proved to be good when replaying my cassettes recorded in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s (could do with a little more high-end response but that could be my recording) however, 2000’s onwards the quality has been excellent. Please note this can also be dependent on the headphones used. To maintain best sound quality, it is advisable to clean the cassette heads regularly. Cons Due to limited space (the cassette case does not open very far) it is difficult to clean and demagnetize the cassette heads. Earphone Socket I used the Sennheiser CX300 S ear canal headphones and found that if the supplied ear tips did not provide enough bass, you could use ‘Aiivioll’ silicon ear tips instead. I used cheap Philips over ear headphones and they gave excellent bass. When using ear canal headphones, the volume is very good requiring minimal adjustment to increase the volume. This is handy as it saves battery life giving more cassette playing time. Note: If you are using over ear headphones, you will have to drive them a lot more and turn up the volume considerably. Cons Using ear canal headphones, it is likely that you will have to pull the jack out of the Fiio CP13 headphone socket a fraction (0.5 to 1mm). This was not necessary when using over ear headphones. Charging Battery life depends upon headphones used and volume selected. Ear canal headphones give at least 9hrs 10mins. Over ear headphones give about 7hrs 45mins. The cassette player gives no warning when it runs out of power – just stops! Thankfully charging is easy and quick in about 2.5hrs. Review: Expensive but so worth it - your cassettes and ears will thank you - I can’t fault the sound and design - it’s truly beautiful. I really thought with no Dolby NR the tape hiss would be overbearing but no, the amp that has been used is pure quality and produces beautiful highs, mids and tight bass with very little feedback. The one thing lacking which would have been perfect is if a Bluetooth transmitter was built in but I knew this wasn’t present before purchasing - maybe a newer model will address this missing function. This can be rectified by purchasing a Bluetooth 3.5mm jack (slots into the headphone jack) and you can then transmit the players music to Bluetooth headphones/speakers etc - a simple fix for £10 or so. If you’ve been searching for a quality modern day portable cassette player you may have just found it ## 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 | | Best Sellers Rank | 33,039 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 57 in Portable Cassette Players | | Box Contents | USB charging cable and quick start guide | | Brand Name | FiiO | | Colour | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (657) | | Manufacturer | FiiO | | Manufacturer Part Number | CP13 | | Model Number | CP13 | | Product Warranty | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FiiO - **Colour:** Clear - **Included components:** USB charging cable and quick start guide - **Manufacturer:** FiiO ## Images ![FiiO CP13 Cassette Player (transparent) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71asq3tUfIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Product *by C***5 on 20 December 2025* The Fiio CP13 was promptly delivered and exceptionally well packed.

If You using with Fe (type I) it is nothing wrong. Maybe two things - initially everything feels so tight in tolerance (it was tricky to fit casette and close door - but it become more slack and easier over time) At first run need few minutes to grease spread out for mech running smoothly. But this is normal for new machines - be aware of this. Volume output is loud - louder than anything i used before - i advise to start with very minimal volume and try to steady increase volume - it is painfully loud at 50% ;). Noises are reasonable - nothing more than usual. --- If You using Cr tabes (type II) is bad, due to this type audio characteristic - this is sound wrong - no tape selector or simple eq "bass boost"... Still You can play these tapes - but not best experience. It has good value - but unforunately i only can recommend for type I tapes. ## 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.be/products/638364982-fiio-cp13-cassette-player-transparent](https://www.desertcart.be/products/638364982-fiio-cp13-cassette-player-transparent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
