We Are Rewind Launches EDITH WE-001 Cassette Player with Modern Features
We Are Rewind has expanded its lineup of modern cassette players with the introduction of the EDITH WE-001. Building on the success of previous models like Amy, Keith, and Kurt, the EDITH WE-001 caters to the growing demand for cassette tapes, which saw a remarkable 200% sales increase in the UK during the first quarter of 2025. This resurgence underscores the brand’s ability to blend nostalgic appeal with contemporary features, meeting the expectations of today’s audio enthusiasts.
The EDITH WE-001 maintains the classic aesthetic of traditional cassette players while incorporating advanced technology. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.1, it allows seamless connection to wireless headphones and speakers, providing greater flexibility beyond the limitations of a wired setup. For those who prefer a more conventional approach, the device also includes a 3.5mm mini-jack, ensuring compatibility with existing wired audio accessories. Additionally, the player supports recording from a microphone or an external source via the same 3.5mm port, enabling users to capture everything from voice notes to custom mixes in stereo mode.
Performance-wise, the EDITH WE-001 delivers a robust audio experience with a frequency range of 30 Hz to 12.5 kHz for playback on Type I cassettes. It boasts a signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB and a distortion rate of approximately 0.2%, ensuring clear and accurate sound reproduction. The recording pathway features a frequency response of 30 Hz to 10 kHz, a signal-to-noise ratio of 45 dB, and a channel separation index of 1%. Encased in a durable aluminum body, the player is both lightweight and portable, weighing around 404 grams and measuring 140.8 x 88.8 x 33.5 mm.
Powering the EDITH WE-001 is a lithium-ion battery, rechargeable via a USB-C port, which offers up to 12 hours of continuous playback. This improvement over traditional battery-powered players eliminates the need for constant battery replacements, enhancing the user experience for on-the-go listening. The device’s sturdy construction not only provides a premium tactile feel but also ensures longevity, making it a reliable companion for both casual listeners and dedicated collectors.
Available now at a recommended retail price of $159 or €149, the We Are Rewind EDITH WE-001 is poised to become a favorite among cassette aficionados. Its combination of vintage charm and modern functionality makes it a standout addition to the current wave of cassette revival, appealing to those who cherish the tactile and auditory qualities of analog media while embracing the conveniences of today’s technology.
