Design agency Rocket and Wink developed a model for portable record players called the 'Rawman 3000.' This throwback device is an era-bending device, providing both the sound quality and characteristics of the previous music players, with the portability of modern ones.
Keeping its retro feel, the Rawman 3000 is available in bright yellow, blue or red. The design team wanted the device to look like it came from the 80s, and everything from its construction to its font achieves that.
Although a tribute to past eras, the record player has modern elements. Each Rawman 3000 comes with stereo headphones, a USB Port, a Smartcard and an antenna for Bluetooth connection. The record player also has a convenient carrying strap to go over your shoulder.
