Retro audio startup We Are Rewind has unveiled a stylish new cassette recorder with a vintage design, blending nostalgic aesthetics with modern functionality. The newly launched We Are Rewind GB-001 isn’t just a tape recorder — it also functions as a Bluetooth speaker and supports connections to external microphones and TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headphones.
🎵 Retro Meets Modern Tech
The GB-001 allows users to both play music from cassettes and record audio using either a built-in smartphone microphone or an external mic. It features classic tactile control buttons, along with dual analog VU meters on the front to display the volume levels for the left and right audio channels.
🔊 Key Features Include:
-
Dolby B noise reduction for cleaner analog magnetic recordings
-
Bluetooth support for wireless headphones and speaker connectivity
-
3000 mAh battery providing:
-
Up to 10 hours of playback using built-in speakers
-
Up to 28 hours of use with Bluetooth headphones
-
🔈 Balanced Sound System
The recorder houses four speakers — two for low frequencies and two for high frequencies — delivering a balanced, dynamic sound. Unlike the bass-heavy boomboxes of the 1980s, the GB-001 is designed to preserve high-frequency clarity without overpowering bass.
💰 Pricing and Availability
The We Are Rewind GB-001 is currently available in Europe at a retail price of €449.
