In a time where streaming services offer minimal artist pay, the comeback of physical media seems inevitable. Vinyl record sales grew by 10.5% last year, driven by artists like Taylor Swift and Fleetwood Mac. Cassette tape sales have also surged, from 81,000 units in 2015 to 436,400 in 2022, appealing to Gen Z’s nostalgia and affordability preferences. French brand We Are Rewind aims to deliver a stylish and functional cassette tape player inspired by the original Sony Walkman, offering playback versatility and modern features like Bluetooth connectivity. The $160 player comes in four color options, works with various tapes, and offers high-quality sound. Paired with $52 retro-styled EQ-001 headphones, the experience is a blend of retro charm and modern convenience. The We Are Rewind cassette player, powered by a rechargeable battery, provides around 10-12 hours of use and offers a unique way to enjoy music in today’s digital age.
