Retrospekt CP-81 Portable Cassette Player

In the rush to move from one technology to the next, we too quickly lose track of things that still have plenty of value to bring to our lives. The cassette player is a perfect example. When compact discs started to take over the market, only to later be replaced by digital formats like MP3, we all collectively left cassettes behind. They are making a comeback, however, thanks to creative products like the CP-81 Portable Cassette Player from Retrospekt.

This is a classic cassette tape player in a wonderfully retro, minimalist form factor. It allows you to not only listen to your favorite cassettes, but also create new mixtapes, fast-forward, rewind, and more. The tactile experience of using the CP-81 is unlike anything that a modern smartphone with a Spotify app can offer. And, you can safely pop out your AirPods and put them away when listening to your cassettes on this cool device, as the included (wired) Koss Headphones deliver surprising sound quality and another touch of retro style
