Maxell adds a little speaker to its Walkman-esque tape player, and this is one launch I hope stays in Japan

Maxell MXCP-P100S cassette player on a wooden surface. It's a Walkman-esque player with a built-in speaker.

• Maxell is launching a Walkman-style cassette player with a built-in speaker
• The speaker is mono and 500mW
• Not everything from the 80s should come back

In Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus Mary Shelley wrote a cautionary tale about science: just because a scientist can make something doesn't mean they should. I'm pretty sure she was thinking about the Maxell MXCP-P100S, which is frankly more terrifying than anything Dr Frankenstein ever darned.
