Awesome Walkman

Go back to the ’80s with this retro-style speaker that looks like an old-school Walkman. Instead of popping a cassette in, stash your smartphone inside of it, then clip it onto your belt loop for full effect. It has working control buttons and a 3.5mm aux in jack. Why not go all-in and use it with that Bluetooth cassette player?

It’s been 40 years since the Sony Walkman first came on the scene, and since been supplanted by CDs, MP3s, and streaming. But if you’re craving that old cassette tape sound, NINM Lab’s portable player/recorder has Bluetooth 5.0, so you can wirelessly send its sounds to a speaker or headphones. Sadly it’s not stereo.

This waterproof wearable MP3 player has a ring-shaped Bluetooth remote control for on-the-go adjustments. Lasts up to 8h but can get 1h of use on just a 3min. charge. Comes with 4GB of storage (16GB version available in EU).

The upcoming WH Series aka 3-in-1 Walkman are headphones with a built-in digital music player. Available in 4GB and 16GB capacity with 20h battery life. They can also be used as normal headphones or as personal speakers.

The W Series Walkman is waterproof to 6.6ft. It has 4GB of storage, 13.5mm drivers and replaceable earbuds. Its battery lasts up to 8 hours, but a 3 min charge is enough for 1 hour of playback.

Sony mashes up two of their popular franchises with the camouflage Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker W-Series Walkman. Pre-loaded with the MGS soundtrack and out this June for about $60.
