LAB REVIEW

We Are Rewind's GB-001 is a portable cassette boombox with all the flair of the ostentatious 1980s blasters and, like their portable cassette player, is updated with advanced features and modern design sensibility. Play and record cassette tapes, or use the Bluetooth input to stream audio from your phone. Four hi-fi class speakers (2x woofer, 2x tweeter) drive 104 watts total power with real VU meters to monitor levels. The overall build is heavy and sturdy, with push buttons and smooth brushed fold-down handle that feels great. Rechargeable / replaceable battery pack lasts up to 15 hours on a single charge (up to 28 hours through headphones).
