BEAMS Launches km5’s Clear Instant Disk CP1 CD Player

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for nostalgia and a penchant for unique tech pieces, this clear Instant Disk CP1 CD player from BEAMS and km5 has certainly caught my eye! The design harkens back to the days of yore when I was glued to my PlayStation One, or engrossed in the mysteries of Tamagotchi.

Partners BEAMS and Japanese audio brand km5 are joining forces for the debut of a transparent edition of the Instant Disk CP1 CD player.

Building on the monochrome designs from the audio specialists, the new clear model echoes the transparent technology craze of the 1990s with its robust polycarbonate construction. The shell offers a glimpse into the internal workings of the device, giving it a distinctive futuristic feel that combines well with the analog nature of the gadget.

Km5’s Instant Disk CP1 sports Bluetooth 5.1 technology and offers up to 7-8 hours of battery life. You can also connect this player to an existing sound system via the 3.5mm Stereo Earphone Jack. By adding a lyric sheet using the wall-mounted bracket or stand (sold separately), the device serves as a stylish addition to your interior decor.

In recent times, there’s been a resurgence of see-through gadgets, aligning with the widespread Y2K aesthetic that has dominated fashion and subsequently invaded tech. This design style resembles the clear tech once provided by Japanese gaming giants such as Sony, Nintendo, and Tamagotchi. The sales of CDs are also on the rise, mirroring the surge in vinyl sales which started in the late 2010s.

You can place an order right away for the Instant Disk CP1 player, which will be shipped to you around mid-January 2025, over at BEAMS.
