COOLGEEK P1 Featured on TechRadar

Industrial design, physical music, and a fresh approach to cassette listening.

We’re excited to share that TechRadar has featured the COOLGEEK P1 in an article by Tom Bedford, introducing its industrial design and modern approach to cassette listening.

The coverage explores how P1 offers a different visual direction within the cassette revival. Alongside its transparent design, the article highlights Bluetooth connectivity and an integrated display — features that connect a familiar music format with the way people listen today.

A design with its own identity

For COOLGEEK, bringing back the cassette experience means more than revisiting the past. With P1, we wanted to create something that feels connected to the history of physical music while expressing a character of its own.

The transparent design makes the cassette part of the visual experience. Watching the tape turn adds a sense of movement and presence to the music, while the industrial aesthetic gives P1 a distinctive place in a contemporary listening setup.

A familiar ritual, with modern flexibility

There is something special about choosing a tape, placing it in a player, and pressing play. Each step makes listening feel intentional and personal.

P1 brings that familiar ritual together with Bluetooth connectivity, giving listeners another way to enjoy their cassette collection through wireless headphones. It is a way to revisit favorite tapes, discover the format for the first time, or simply make room for a different pace of listening.

We’re pleased to see TechRadar introduce P1 to its readers. Whether you have collected cassettes for years or are just beginning to explore physical music, we invite you to discover the story.
