Ahhhhhhh yes! Our youth is coming back and there is no stopping it. First vinyl, which we are totally absorbed in, and now, cassettes. We Are Rewind has reinvented the cassette player and it’s pretty damn cool.
Available in three colors, each one has it’s own name. Orange = “Serge” Blue = “Kurt” and Grey “Keith.” Here is what they have to say about these cassette players.
(Re)discover all the pleasure of analog sound with our modernized cassette players: Serge, Keith and Kurt.
Like the old-school cassette players, our players have fast forward/rewind buttons, a headphone output, a volume control and an audio input so you can create your own mixtapes.
But because you have to keep up with the times, we’ve added a few modern touches.
First, we’ve replaced the batteries with a rechargeable lithium battery that provides up to 12 hours of continuous playback. It’s more practical and environmentally friendly. We also built in a Bluetooth 5.1 connection so you can connect the player to your headphones or wireless speaker in seconds. It may not sound like much, but it’s a world first!
On the audio side, our engineers worked hard to optimize the mechanism to be as close as possible to the best of the time. And the result is there. Today, you won’t find better on the new market!
Finally, we paid special attention to the design and materials used. As for the very first Sony Walkman, the TPS-l2, we avoided plastic and preferred an aluminum case for a “cool touch” and a real quality feeling. The result is a cassette player with a sober and elegant design, which will last in time. The kind of object that one would almost want to display on a shelf in the living room.
So, ready to rewind?
