This modern twist on a retro format features a HD display, a USB-C charging port, and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity for wireless headphone use. Priced at $179 (roughly £130, AU$260), early supporters receive a discounted price during the Super Early Bird phase. The device is see-through, allowing users to watch their cassette spin.
