The cassette player and recorder from France's We Are Rewind is a strikingly modern iteration of the classic Walkman portable tape player.

The weight surprised us - with it's all-aluminum casing, it looks and feels like what the first or second generation Walkman probably felt like; probably too big and heavy to keep in your back pocket like the later models, but cool in a retro way, with a sturdy feel that justifies the price point.

Bluetooth output to wireless speakers or headphones is a nice modern feature, making this a versatile option for adding a cassette player to your home listening setup with a very small footprint.
