The Cassette Player does support wired headphones via its 3.5mm jack for Type I cassettes—so yes, you can listen.

In that case, what does it mean that it's "not compatible with in-ear phones"?

Good question. The Cassette Player has a headphone output that delivers 2 × 2 mW of power at 32 ohms. In-ear earbuds typically have higher impedance or different audio characteristics that don't work well with this output level—the sound would be too quiet or not perform properly.

Wired over-ear or on-ear headphones like PortaPros work fine because they're designed for this type of output.

Does this apply to wired in-ears or wireless in-ears or both?

The incompatibility applies to both wired and wireless in-ear earbuds. The issue is the design of in-ears themselves—their impedance and audio characteristics don't match well with the Cassette Player [Keith]'s headphone output, regardless of whether they're wired or wireless.

Over-ear and on-ear headphones work reliably with the player.

But the portapros have 60 ohm impedance.

You're right—PortaPros have 60 ohm impedance, which is higher than the 32 ohms the Cassette Player [Keith] is rated for. However, the player should still work with them since they're over-ear headphones designed for portable devices.

If you want optimal performance, I'd recommend testing them first or contacting contact@wearerewind.fr for specific compatibility details with your PortaPros.

How much power would the cassette player be able to output at 60 ohms?

That's a good technical question, but I don't have the detailed power output specifications for the Cassette Player [Keith] at 60 ohms—only the rating at 32 ohms (2 × 2 mW).

For precise power calculations at different impedance levels, please reach out to contact@wearerewind.fr and they can help you determine if your PortaPros will perform optimally.
