Maxell Is Bringing Back Its Classic Tape Player

You’ve probably heard about how VINYL has had a major resurgence… And now, CASSETTES are having a moment.

Cassettes are becoming so trendy again that the electronics company Maxell is bringing back its classic personal tape player.  And they’ve even added modern features like Bluetooth and USB-C charging.

Unlike some modern devices, they did NOT nix the headphone jack.

The battery life is decent… at about 11 hours of Bluetooth playtime.  And the player comes with a BELT CLIP for that nice, old-school feel.

They aren’t cheap though.  Maxell’s list price is $100, but Amazon has them for around $80.  And if you want to get back into mixtapes, you can grab a five-pack of blank cassettes for around $15.
