We Are Rewind WE-001 Duran Duran Special Edition - Cassette Player Celebrating the Iconic Band

We Are Rewind has joined forces with Duran Duran to launch the WE-001 Duran Duran Special Edition portable cassette player, arriving alongside the band's cassette reissue of their 2000 album "Pop Trash". Timed to commemorate the album's 25th anniversary, this release pairs the music with a player crafted in the aesthetic of the era when cassettes were integral to the Duran Duran fan experience.

The Special Edition showcases the band's signature chrome-inspired styling, merging a visually striking design with an aluminum chassis and modern functionality. The player boasts an upgraded headphone amplifier specifically engineered for cassette playback, Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphone pairing, a 3.5 mm output for wired listening, and USB-C charging for the internal battery, which provides up to 12 hours of continuous playback. The package includes a pencil for manual tape rewinding - a nostalgic accessory from the cassette era.

Andrew Day, Creative Art Director for Duran Duran, noted that Pop Trash was released just as streaming was beginning to emerge, making cassette a fitting format to mark the anniversary. Romain Boudruche, Founder and CEO of We Are Rewind, added that the band's strong visual identity and connection to physical media made the collaboration a natural extension of their legacy. The release arrives amid renewed interest in cassette tapes, with UK sales growing significantly in 2025. The We Are Rewind WE-001 Duran Duran Special Edition retails for €169 or $199 USD.
