Maxell is paying homage to its roots with the release of the Maxell MXCP-P100 cassette tape player.
The cassette player arrives alongside the resurgence of old media formats, but updated with modern features. Bluetooth compatibility for headphones is available, but also comes with a 3.5mm jack for wired listening. USB-C rechargeable batteries allow for seven to nine hours of playback.
While the MXCP-P100 includes contemporary details, its exterior is reminiscent of ’80s tech. Sitting atop of the player are chunky play, stop, fast forward and rewind buttons, as well as a brass flywheel for volume control. Weighing in at only 210 grams, the player also delivers portability.
