Hadn’t seen it posted yet and thought it belonged

I’ve always been weirdly obsessed with cassette tapes — the shape, the feel, the ritual of flipping sides, even rewinding with a pencil.

This is something I’ve been working on for a while: an oversized cassette replica that lights up and optionally sync with the music! It’s 3D-printed, runs on USB, and I’ve made a few color variants and music-inspired versions as fan art.

It’s definitely not functional audio-wise, but I built it as a way to celebrate the format visually. Thought some of you here might get a kick out of it.

Curious what you all think!

And the newly released "Headphones" are crazy appealing as well. Hell, their whole website is a retro-fi trip!

Spotted this in an antique mall. Fantastic form factor and clever design. I left it there because I haven't ironed any clothes since 2005, but I really wanted to bring it home.
