We Are Rewind reveal a next-gen boombox for 2025. Say hi to GB-001.
Play, Mix, Record, Dance, Repeat. Push the button, play the tape.

Retro look, brand new tech - the rise and rise of the cassette tape (and mixtape) continues with the We Are Rewind GB-001. Following the global smash of the original WE-001 portable cassette player, We Are Rewind are pleased to tease the arrival of their next big launch.
And with cassette tape sales rising by over 400% in the last decade, there's never been a better time to remind yourself of what a great boombox can do for your music compared to a mini Bluetooth speaker...
The GB-001 isn't just a cassette player/recorder that rivals home speaker systems - it also delivers exceptional stereo sound with a full-spectrum stereo image, thanks to its separate left and right woofers and tweeters.
Whether you're listening to cassettes, using a wired connection, or streaming via Bluetooth, its four Hi-Fi class loudspeakers (two powerful woofers for extended bass response and two soft dome tweeters for refined voices and treble) provide an huge 104 Watts of total power output.
But power is nothing without control. That's why We Are Rewind has included special features like dynamic power control to reduce distortion, refined equalisation for a natural sound signature and a spatialisation function for a wider, more immersive stereo image.
This boombox features a top-of-the-line cassette deck mechanism, complete with a powerful, user-adjustable motor that includes internal speed regulation. It also has a noise reduction circuit that emulates Dolby B, so it can play pre-recorded Dolby B tapes.
For recording and playing, it supports both Type I and Type II (chrome) cassettes with optimised biasing. To ensure low-noise recording and the best possible frequency response, it uses an active AC erasing head.

The GB-001 is equipped with two backlit VU meters, giving you control over playback and recording levells and even includes a microphone input with adjustable level for live recordings!
The GB-001 reimagines the iconic 80s boombox with a sleek, neo-retro design that truly stands out. Beneath its retro appearance, this next-gen boombox is packed with modern technology, featuring Bluetooth 5.4 and a rechargeable, replaceable battery.
Connect your Boombox to any audio source and use it as a speaker to listen to your favorite tunes with its Bluetooth 5.4 and 3.5mm jack input to connect everything from a turntable to your phone.

You’ll find everything you need right there on the unit, including the Bluetooth pairing button, power switch, tape type selector, bass & treble and balance control knobs.
Unleash the energy at your next gathering and transform any room into your own concert venue. Sing along to your favorite songs using the microphone input, or plug in your guitar and use the system as an amp. And yes, the dual wireless microphone system enables you to create your very own rap battles.
MSRP is £379, €449.
