I can’t tell you how many cassettes I’ve owned in my life. I’m sure there’s a huge box in my attic, stuffed full of old mix tapes. Well the saying, ‘what’s once old is new again’ is true, because Maxell is bringing the cassette tape out of retirement! As you can see below, they posted on social media that they’re bringing back their ‘classic personal cassette player’. Makes sense I guess because vinyl records became hot again several years ago. Maxell’s cassette player will cost you $100.
