Enthusiasts of vintage items will find the compact cassette player from We Are Rewind tantalizingly charming due to its funky design.

In the world of music, the charm of the past is making a comeback, and We Are Rewind is leading the way with their latest offering - the Edith portable cassette player.

The Edith is a funky-looking and affordable device that brings back the retro charm of cassette tapes. With its aluminium body, coloured pink and teal, it's more than just a cassette player - it's a statement piece.

But the Edith isn't just about looks. It offers up to 12 hours of playback from a single charge, making it perfect for long road trips or quiet evenings at home. And with Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, you can wirelessly pair it with your favourite headphones or speakers.

The Edith also retains the classic recording functionality, allowing users to create their own mixtapes. It's a feature that harks back to the days of mix-tape compilations, but with a modern twist.

The Edith is not alone in We Are Rewind's modern cassette player range. It joins other models named after iconic musicians: Amy, Keith, Serge, and Kurt.

While the resurgence of cassette players and tapes may not match the popularity of vinyl records in the past decade, the Edith's release is a testament to the enduring appeal of these retro devices. In fact, many artists are currently releasing new albums on cassette tapes, adding to the appeal of the Edith.

Interestingly, the Fiio launched its own portable cassette player last year. A review of Fiio's retro cassette deck and Discman can be found in a separate article.

The Edith cassette tape player is priced at £129 / $159, making it an affordable addition to any music lover's collection. And with its 3.5mm headphone jack and USB-C charging, it's easy to use and convenient to charge.
