At a time when digital dominates almost the entire music market, last-century formats like vinyl or the audio cassette are making a remarkable and noticed comeback with neo-retro devices, like the new FiiO CP11 portable player.
The vinyl record is back, and turntables are too, embracing very contemporary designs despite a music format whose origins go back to the 19th century. But let’s not forget audio cassettes either, another format that had its heyday in the 1970s-80s, and which allowed everyone to carry music around conveniently for the first time, via Sony’s famous Walkman.
CP11, the revival of the portable cassette player by FiiO
Portable cassette players are among the products offered by FiiO, which will release its most advanced model, the CP11, at the end of the year. After years of research and development, FiiO is releasing an ultra-thin model thanks to a mechanism that also achieves record miniaturization. A slimness supported by a minimalist design, available in cream, green, or silver, giving the device a highly appealing retro-chic style.
