This high-end modern cassette player is better than vintage for tape heads.
The Rewind Cassette Player is a high-end portable cassette player priced at $159. It is praised for its reliability, sturdy aluminum case, built-in battery, USB-C charging, and ability to record tapes. The player features Bluetooth functionality, though it lacks an auto-stop feature, leading to a motor squeal when rewinding or fast-forwarding past the end of a tape. The review highlights its superior performance compared to vintage players, noting its use in long road trips and flights without issues. While the player does not include headphones, it supports 3.5mm audio input/output. The Rewind is recommended as the best portable cassette player in 2025, though it has minor drawbacks such as the squealing motor and underwhelming included Bluetooth headphones.
