One thing that immediately stands out about the new We Are Rewind Edith “Walkman” is its unmistakably 1980s-inspired color scheme — a clear nod to lovers of bygone times.
Whether you like it or not, cassettes — much like vinyl — are experiencing a kind of revival. There’s a niche audience for this vintage medium, and it’s apparently large enough that tape production has started up again, as seen for example here. Since few people still have a (working) cassette deck, companies have also begun producing new ones. One example is the latest model from We Are Rewind, the Edith.
We Are Rewind has been making modern cassette players for a few years now, and their new Edith follows the same recipe — aside from its eye-catching design. A built-in rechargeable battery offers up to 12 hours of playtime. Wireless listening is possible via Bluetooth headphones, or you can go full retro with the brand’s own vintage-style headset, which pairs perfectly with the ‘80s aesthetic.
The We Are Rewind Edith, which even includes recording capabilities, is available now for €149.
