FiiO's CP13 is a fresh and modern take on the classic Sony Walkman, featuring a transparent design and upgraded analog components for high-quality audio playback. It is an all-analog device with no Bluetooth or digital storage, relying solely on cassettes and wired headphones connected via a 3.5mm jack.
It has a boxy, transparent design that allows users to see the spinning cassette, available in various color combinations like red/silver and blue/silver.
It features upgraded amplifier and motor components, including a 4.2V power supply, a custom motor speed stabilization circuit, a differential circuit for balanced signal acquisition, and an all-analog audio circuit.
These upgrades promise superior signal transmission, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and lower distortion compared to traditional cassette players.
The CP13 supports various cassette types and has a built-in rechargeable 1800mAh lithium-ion battery offering up to 13 hours of playback time.
It can be recharged via USB-C.
The official price is $129, but it can be found for $99 on Amazon, according to Forbes.
