Introduced to the world in 1979, the portable cassette player changed how we enjoyed our favorite songs for over a decade. Sadly, the subsequent rise of compact discs and digital music forced audio cassette tapes into obscurity…or so we thought. This aluminum-cased distant cousin of the 1980s gadget captures the nostalgia music lovers long for while adding the much-needed modern upgrades that 21st-century audiophiles expect from their tech. In short, the mixtape is back! Works just like a classic cassette player with analog buttons that play, rewind, and fast-forward. Includes a headphone port, volume control, and audio input to create mixtapes. Equipped with a rechargeable lithium battery that provides up to 12 hours of continuous playback. Features Bluetooth technology to connect to your favorite headphones or wireless speakers in seconds. In a nod to the first-gen originals, the cassette player is made from aluminum, not plastic (please note the matte metal exterior can appear green or more blue depending on the light). Comes with a blank tape to start you on your mixtape-making journey. Made in China.
