We entertain a particular penchant for the humble and decidedly yesteryear cassette tape so when we came across this beautifully retro cassette tape headphone cord tidy modelled on a C-60 and known officially as the <<REW we couldn’t possibly not offer a brief heads up here on the site.
The brainchild of designer Jason Amendolara and Fred Studio, the <<REW cassette tape headphone cord tidy, apart from looking great, comes in three colors with designs reflecting authentic stylistic elements – “Stereo sound”, “Super-Fine” and “Hi-Fi” – and work by reeling in excess headphone cabling in order to reduce tangles and the possibility of stray cabling catching on clothing and, yes, we love ‘em.

Unfortunately at this juncture it appears that these <<REW cassette tape headphone cord tidies are yet to be offered commercially but we suspect that we’ll be either seeing them hitting online portals pretty soon or, failing that, cheap knock-offs appearing in certain Chinese sites (they’re probably on the case already).
If we hear that these have become available we will, of course, offer you an update, however, in the meantime, if you’re looking to feed your cassette tape induced nostalgia, perhaps this posting may be of particular interest to you.
