Muse continues to tickle the retro bone of many of us by expanding its range of vintage products, with a new throwback reference joining turntables and other ghetto blasters. So here’s to a new K7 portable cassette player making a comeback, no less than 45 years after being invented by Sony under the famous name Walkman.
Muse M-136 WM: old-school cassette, today’s technology
This Muse model called the M-136 WM features a compact format (119 x 31.8 x 99 mm) and comes with a wired stereo headset.

It is also equipped with a rechargeable lithium battery (via [abc]USB[/abc]-C, offering 5 hours of battery life) and a [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] output for listening to music on wireless headphones or compatible speakers.
