WE ARE REWIND EDITH WE-001 CASSETTE PLAYER

We Are Rewind Edith WE-001 Joins Growing Cassette Renaissance

We Are Rewind has unveiled its latest portable cassette player, the EDITH WE-001, adding to its existing line-up of modern tape decks named Amy, Keith, and Kurt.

With cassette sales surging by over 200% in the UK during the first quarter of 2025, EDITH arrives at a time when physical formats are making a notable comeback. The player blends classic cassette culture with contemporary features to meet the expectations of today’s listeners.

WE ARE REWIND EDITH WE-001 COMBINES VINTAGE FEEL WITH MODERN TECH

The EDITH WE-001 retains the nostalgic appeal of traditional cassette players while updating the experience with Bluetooth 5.1 support. This allows users to connect wireless headphones or speakers for greater flexibility, moving beyond the limitations of wired-only playback. The EDITH also features a 3.5mm headphone jack for those preferring the classic wired listening route.

RECORDING WITH THE WE ARE REWIND EDITH WE-001

In a nod to the do-it-yourself spirit of the mixtape era, the EDITH WE-001 supports recording via a powered microphone or external audio source through its 3.5mm jack. It records in stereo to Type I cassettes, making it suitable for capturing everything from voice notes to custom mixes. This addition may appeal to collectors, musicians, and those rediscovering the creative possibilities of tape.

UPGRADED POWER AND MATERIALS

Replacing the traditional AA battery setup, the WE ARE REWIND EDITH WE-001 comes equipped with a built-in lithium-ion battery. It charges via USB-C and delivers around 10 to 12 hours of playback on a single charge. Housed in a durable aluminium case, the EDITH is designed to be more robust and tactile than its plastic predecessors, offering a premium feel for everyday use.

WE ARE REWIND EDITH WE-001 MAINTAINS ANALOGUE CHARM

Despite the modern additions, EDITH hasn’t lost touch with analogue charm. The inclusion of a manual tape rewind pencil—an affectionate nod to cassette culture—is a small but welcome detail for purists. Playback is delivered through a two-track stereo head, with technical specifications aimed at matching the performance expectations of today’s users.
