- Maxell launches a Walkman style cassette player with an integrated speaker
- The speaker is mono and 500MW
- Everything in the 80s should not come back
In Frankenstein; Or, the Modern Prometheus Mary Shelley has written an edifying story about science: it is not because a scientist can do something. I’m about sure she was thinking of the MXCP-P100 Maxell, which is frankly more terrifying than all that Dr. Frankenstein has ever been damn.
The MXCP-P100s is a new version of the cute MXCP-P100, Walkman-Esque that we told you about last month, but it has a terrifying addition.
A speaker.
This portable player just takes trouble
The player himself is perfectly good: he has Bluetooth 5.4 and a durable battery delivering up to nine hours of reading, he works with normal type 1 strips of up to 90 minutes, and he has a brass steering wheel which says that Maxell says the sound. You can use it with wired or wireless headphones, and you should, because a band reader with a speaker like this is an abomination.
The only good thing I can say about the speaker is that it is only 500 MW and it is unlikely that it is extremely effective, so it cannot go too hard when a clown decides to offer you their collection of cassettes on the metro or on the bus.
But it is also one of the worst things about it.
I do not want to become too technical here, but when you push a 500 MW mono speaker to its limits – which said that the clown will do absolutely when they are on the seat behind you – it seems Terribly horrible.
I know it because it is the size of the speaker who was in the recorder / the players of the mono cassette that I used to record radio songs in the 1980s. And even if I have a lot of nostalgia for this decade, there are certain things – like leg legs, satanic panic and the always present threat of world thermaluar war – which we do not need.
And the small tiny speakers in the strip terraces are one of these things. Believe me, you don’t want it a little close to you when you are stuck in public transport.
The MXCP-P100 will be launched in Japan in August and is expected to cost around $ 100. I would be well if he remained in Japan, personally – although his brother not speaker, the MXCP -P100, has more speed.
