We Are Rewind is a French audio brand focused on reviving cassette culture through modernized portable players and accessories. Its products combine analog nostalgia with contemporary usability, giving listeners a way to enjoy physical media while keeping practical features such as Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable batteries and modern design refinements. Now We Are Rewind has launched Freddie, a new pair of wireless headphones inspired by the portable audio culture of the 1980s. Also known as EQ-002, the model has been designed to complement the company's WE-001 cassette players, but it can also be used with smartphones, tablets, computers and other Bluetooth sources. The idea is simple - a lightweight retro-style headphone that visually belongs next to a cassette player, but behaves like a modern everyday wireless model.

We Are Rewind are expanding their presence in the United States with a product that feels both familiar and brand new. The GB-001, nicknamed Curtis, marks the company's entry into the modern boombox category, arriving at a moment when cassette culture is experiencing an unexpected revival. With cassette sales increasing by more than 400% over the last decade, interest in tapes and mixtapes has moved far beyond nostalgia, and the appetite for well-built, full-size players has returned. Curtis is now available in the US through Amazon, We Are Rewind and Turntable Lab, offering listeners a device that does far more for their music than a compact Bluetooth speaker ever could.

We Are Rewind has announced an exclusive collaboration with Duran Duran for the WE-001 Duran Duran Special Edition, a portable cassette player that pairs the band's distinctive visual world with a thoroughly modern take on the classic Walkman style. Finished in a look that echoes the chrome and shimmering tones associated with Duran Duran's Pop Trash era, the player is supplied with a special reissue of the album on cassette, turning the bundle into both a listening device and a collectible object that nods to the period when the band's tapes were a defining part of pop culture.
