The We Are Rewind player features an in-built battery delivering up to 12 hours of playback, so there's no need to carry around a set of double-As everywhere you go.

Fancy digging out your cassettes? The Discogs edition of the Rewind WE-001 is limited to 150 units and is available in the US only, priced at $180.
