Discogs, We Are Rewind, and Recording The Masters have partnered to release a premium portable cassette player and blank tape bundle designed for today’s analog enthusiasts. Blending retro charm with modern functionality, this limited-edition release reimagines the classic mixtape experience with upgraded materials, wireless connectivity, and high-quality recording capabilities.
Limited to just 150 units in the U.S., this exclusive cassette player is priced at $179.99, making it a collectible piece for tape lovers and audiophiles alike.
Premium Design Meets Retro Appeal
At the heart of this release is a refined version of the WE-001 cassette player, now finished in an exclusive Discogs Matte Black colorway. The chassis is constructed from durable aluminum alloy, offering a more luxurious and robust feel than traditional plastic tape players.
This elevated build quality not only enhances durability but also positions the player as a modern lifestyle audio product, rather than a nostalgic novelty.
Bluetooth Connectivity and Wired Listening Options
Unlike vintage cassette players, this model integrates Bluetooth 5.1, allowing you to stream your tapes wirelessly to compatible headphones or speakers. This makes it easier than ever to enjoy analog sound without being tethered by cables.
For purists, the player still includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, ensuring compatibility with wired headphones and traditional listening setups. This dual connectivity approach bridges the gap between analog warmth and digital convenience.
Record Your Own Mixtapes with Premium C60 Tape
Included in the bundle is a Discogs x RTM C60 blank cassette, engineered for high-quality audio recording. With 60 minutes of total recording time, users can create their own mixtapes using the player’s stereo recording functionality.
Recording is handled via a 3.5mm input, supporting Type I tapes and delivering a faithful analog capture that stays true to the format’s heritage.
High-Fidelity Playback and Recording Performance
The Discogs x We Are Rewind cassette player is designed to deliver reliable analog performance with solid technical specs:
Playback Performance
- 2-track stereo playback
- Frequency response: 30Hz – 12,500Hz
- Signal-to-noise ratio: 50dB
- Distortion: 0.3% (typical)
- Wow & Flutter: 0.2% (typical)
Recording Performance
- Frequency response: 30Hz – 10,000Hz
- Signal-to-noise ratio: 45dB
- Distortion: 1% (typical)
While these specs reflect the inherent limitations of cassette technology, they still provide a pleasing analog listening experience with enough clarity and warmth to satisfy both newcomers and longtime tape collectors.
Rechargeable Battery for Portable Listening
The player features a built-in lithium-ion battery (2000mAh), offering approximately 10 to 12 hours of playback time on a single charge. This eliminates the need for disposable AA batteries, making it a more eco-friendly and convenient solution for portable use.
A Collector’s Piece for the Analog Revival
With its combination of premium materials, Bluetooth functionality, and limited availability, the Discogs x We Are Rewind cassette player stands out as both a functional audio device and a collector’s item.
As cassette culture continues to resurface alongside vinyl’s resurgence, this release captures the essence of mixtape nostalgia while updating it for modern listening habits.
