Remember the times when you had to wait 15 minutes to catch the radio? that song that you recorded on cassette. Or when you used a spoon to fix a torn tape and prayed to the music gods that it wasn't the only copy of your favorite hit.

After they are with modern Walkmans already proved that cassette tapes are cool again (yes, seriously), now they're making an even more ambitious comeback - with the We Are Rewind GB-001, a boombox that looks like Michael J. Fox brought it back from 1985. But it packs more digital power than many modern Bluetooth speakers.
The sound you feel in your gut – We Are Rewind boombox GB-001
Unlike the plastic boxes of yesteryear, the We Are Rewind boombox GB-001 doesn't just play on looks. With four speakers (two woofers, two tweeters) and a total output of 104W, it sounds like Prince is playing a concert in your living room. Surround stereo? Sure. Dynamic power control for less distortion at high decibels? Go ahead, crank up the Beastie Boys to 11.

This machine isn't just for listening. You can record your own cassettes - both on Type I and Type II Chrome. The sound is clean, warm and frighteningly good for something on magnetic tape. Noise?
