We Are Rewind unveils Elvis-inspired Walkman replica that will rock your world

We Are Rewind has recently unveiled a special Elvis-themed version of its popular WE-001 Bluetooth cassette player, complete with a unique design and a copy of the iconic Elvis’ Christmas Album. This limited edition model is priced at €179 / $199 and is now ready for purchase.

I am a big fan of We Are Rewind’s retro-inspired cassette players, such as the EDITH WE-001 and the sleek Chromeo collaboration. The newest addition to their lineup is the We Are Rewind x Elvis Presley Limited Edition Box Set, showcasing a design that pays homage to the legendary ’68 comeback special.

Limited to only 1,957 units – a nod to the year Elvis released his best-selling Christmas Album, which is included in the package – this player stands out among other artist-themed options. The bold red lettering of Elvis’ name on one side, combined with the black, red, and gold color scheme, exudes a sense of nostalgia for fans. For those looking to enhance their collection, they can also pair this limited edition player with the recently announced Pro-Ject Elvis Turntable.

Just like the Pro-Ject turntable, the We Are Rewind limited edition model is officially licensed and has been strategically launched just in time for the holiday season. Key features of the player include Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity for wireless listening with headphones, speakers, and soundbars, a 12-hour rechargeable battery, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and line-in recording capabilities for creating personalized tapes.

In addition to the player and Christmas Album, buyers will also receive a collector’s box adorned with archive images and a gold foil stamp of Elvis’s silhouette. While I appreciate the design choices made for this limited edition, I personally wish that We Are Rewind had selected a different album to accompany the player. The ’68 NBC Elvis TV Special, from which the design is inspired, showcases the raw and captivating side of Elvis that made him a rock’n’roll legend. Nonetheless, the Christmas Album can easily be found online or purchased on cassette without breaking the bank.

If you’re looking to get your hands on the We Are Rewind x Elvis Presley Limited Edition Box Set, it is available for purchase starting from October 15th for €179 / $199. This exclusive player can only be obtained online and is a must-have for any Elvis aficionado.
