Cassette tapes have made a bit of a comeback but are outweighed in popularity by streaming services, so this conceptual retro audio player strikes a balance between the two.
Designed by Max.K, the music player features a retro aesthetic that calls to mind portable cassette tape players from the past. A series of physical button controls are positioned below the display, which features the image of moving reels and even the song name when in use. This gives it a nostalgic touch that's perfect for users of all ages to enjoy.
The conceptual retro audio player maintains a bright-yellow finish, which could call to mind the similarly hued Sony Walkmans from yesteryear. The music player is powered by four AA batteries.
