If you\u2019ve been stuck in Spotify and Apple Music streaming, you probably have not realized that cassette sales actually drove 5.7% of physical music sales and that Gen Z is the biggest demographic buying them.<\/p>\n<p>Now even if you\u2019re not Gen Z but you have a special place in your heart for the King of Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll, you\u2019ll pay attention to the WE-001 Elvis Presley Limited Edition Box Set. This is a special edition version of We Are Rewind\u2019s best-known WE-001 portable cassette player that was created to celebrate what would have been Elvis Presley\u2019s 90th birthday this January 2026. It has the iconic red Elvis sign used for his Comeback Special back in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearerewind.com\/\">We Are Rewind<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Since streaming is the number one way that we consume music nowadays, we assume that the days of physical music are all but over. But if you\u2019ve been paying close attention, you\u2019ll realize that CDs and cassette tapes are still pretty popular to a certain market. Cassette sales were up 204.7% in the first quarter of 2025 and searches for \u201cbest portable cassette player\u201d actually rose by 50%. It\u2019s pretty ironic (and cute) that it\u2019s those who never experienced it originally are the ones driving the demand for physical music.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The WE-001 is popular because it has improved on the portable cassette players like the Walkman by including a lithium-ion battery and built-in Bluetooth so you can play both actual cassettes and also play wireless audio on it. You can play music on it up to 12 hours if fully charged and you can charge it via USB-C once it runs out of juice. It also supports line-in recording in case you\u2019re in the mood to create mixtapes or something.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This special edition cassette player has a matte black finish with gold details plus the name ELVIS in all caps. It also comes in a collector\u2019s box that has archival imagery to honor one of the greatest musicians of all time. Of course it also comes with a remastered cassette edition of Elvis\u2019 Christmas Album which is still one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>They will only be releasing 1,957 units for this special edition in honor of the album\u2019s original release year. So there will probably be a scramble to get one of the rare units of this cassette player, whether it\u2019s fans of Elvis or the aforementioned Gen Z that are looking for the best cassette players for the cassette tapes they\u2019ve been collecting. If you\u2019re an Elvis fan, a cassette collector, or someone who wants to own a piece of analog music history before it sells out, this is a no-brainer. At $199, you\u2019re getting a modern cassette player with Bluetooth and USB-C charging, plus a remastered Elvis Christmas album, all wrapped in gorgeous collector\u2019s packaging.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the catch: with only 1,957 units available worldwide, these won\u2019t last long. Based on how fast limited-edition cassette players have been selling out in 2025, you\u2019ve probably got a few weeks at best. The WE-001 Elvis Limited Edition is available for pre-order at We Are Rewind\u2019s website.
