Greg Chaffins It’s been a retro day at the beach as we look at another blast from the, um, today, the Retrospect CP-81 Portable Cassette player. Back the day we would walk around with these type of devices, listening to the groves as we checked out our latest mix tape. But the good news is that you didn’t have to miss out anymore.
The CP-81 sports everything you’d expect in a classic portable cassette player, with the usual fast forward, reverse, and play controls. There is even a record button in case you want to plug in a mic and freestyle things. A standard headphone jack keeps you connected, and it comes with its own phones. 2 AA batteries keep you powered while you are out and about. Back home you can power things up with a USB-C cable.
The see-through design screams retro all on its own, and you will find this true to its roots vintage style portable cassette player on the Retrospekt website.
