Bluetooth Cassette Player

From Ninm Lab comes a new music player that combines the inconvenience of a cassette player with the convenience of wireless headphones:

The new launching of IT’S OK Bluetooth 5.0 cassette player brings a new perspective to the romanticism of the ‘80s cassette player. It is the world’s first cassette player with Bluetooth 5.0 capability that not only supports traditional 3.5mm headphones but is also compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 headphones or speakers. Whether you are alone or in an open space, you can freely enjoy the penetrating voice and warm sound from the cassette tape.

Apparently the idea of this appeals to a lot of people, because the Kickstarter for this device was easily funded.

Not to worry. Once 5G comes, we won't need the player. After that, maybe not even the headphones, either.

Except for its linear access layout, don't dis the cassette! I have cassettes (MAXELL brand) that I recorded thirty five years ago and they still sound very good, with a little cross over but that can be remedied by erasure and re-recording. I'm not sure about a portable machine with Bluetooth - I've never been happy with the performance of that system.

Or you could tolerate a real boombox like that one John Cusack used at the end of "Say Anything."
