We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001 – Retro-futuristic Design
Although the We are rewind WE-001 cassette player is a solution that pays homage to analogue music playback, you don't have to sacrifice comfort, We are rewind is convinced of that and presents the We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001.
- The new We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001 are the ideal partner for the We are rewind WE-001 cassette player.
The company We are rewind claims to have reinvented the portable cassette player product category. It is true that the French start-up has breathed new life into the genre with the launch of the We are rewind WE-001 cassette player, which is being marketed with great success and appealing to a surprisingly broad range of customers.
The French company We are rewind claims that its We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001 headphones, which are optimised for the We are rewind WE-001 portable cassette player, are the perfect solution for every situation.
Allusion to a well-known design from the 1980s
Anyone who relied on the ‘original’ in the 1980s, i.e. a Sony WALKMAN, will inevitably notice a certain similarity in terms of design between the headphones offered by Sony Corporation at the time and the new We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001.
It is safe to assume that this strong similarity between the two products is purely coincidental, especially since the foam pads included here are black, yellow and orange, and the design concept is described as retro-futuristic.
On-ear Bluetooth headphones
On a sober note, the We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001 are on-ear Bluetooth headphones. Even though the We are rewind WE-001 cassette player is a product that pays homage to the analogue charm of music cassettes, users should not have to sacrifice comfort, according to the French company, which explains the choice for Bluetooth.
The headphones are said to be particularly light, yet still impress with a battery life of up to twelve hours, as the manufacturer promises, without revealing any further technical data.
It is only stated that users can customise their listening experience by selecting from three different equaliser modes: “Signature”, “Balanced” and “Bass Boost”.
In principle, also suitable for smartphones
As already mentioned, the We are rewind Wireless Headphones EQ-001 are designed specifically for use with the We are rewind WE-001 cassette player, but they can of course also be used with smartphones, as the manufacturer emphasises. In this environment, an integrated microphone is also available for use as a hands-free device for phone calls, as well as for voice control with Apple Siri, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Calls are accepted or ended with a button, the so-called Go Button, which is also used for playback control. This function is, of course, not available in combination with the We are rewind WE-001 cassette player.
In addition to the three ear pads already mentioned, a micro-USB to USB-A cable for charging the battery is included.
