Vinyl has experienced a significant resurgence in recent years, and now the once-popular cassette player is also making a surprising comeback. Those familiar with the 80s and 90s likely recall the iconic Sony Walkman, a pioneer in portable music devices that hit the market in 1979 and quickly gained popularity, selling over 400 million units globally.
While Sony discontinued its cassette-style Walkman in 2010 (though they continue to produce digital players under the same name), a new player is entering the scene. We Are Rewind is introducing the EDITH WE-001, a modern take on traditional cassette technology designed for on-the-go music enthusiasts.
The EDITH WE-001 comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to pair wireless headphones or stream music to portable speakers. The player features physical buttons on its casing for play, fast forward, rewind functions, and even offers the ability to record directly onto tapes inserted into the device.
Sporting an Aluminum casing for a premium look and feel, the player boasts a rechargeable power pack for extended battery life, ideal for long journeys. Unlike its predecessors that relied on AA batteries, the EDITH WE-001 offers a convenient and eco-friendly rechargeable power source.
Available now for £129, the EDITH WE-001 can be purchased at various retail outlets, including Rough Trade, Selfridges, FNAC, Turntable Lab, and numerous independent record stores.
