Just as we thought the music industry was on the cusp of a fully digital future, a sizeable subset of consumers still prefers physical media. Snobbish audiophiles, in particular, continue to praise the purported warm acoustics of vinyl records. In the meantime, RELAX is catering to proponents of compact discs (CDs) with this awesome variant of the Pixel Tunes.
Since CDs are practically a more recent type of physical media for music and data, we’re certain most of you own a sizeable collection. As long as your albums are in good condition, sound quality should stay as pristine as before. However, many no longer have the hardware for playback, which is why this device comes in handy.
Enjoy the retro vibe as the After Hours colorway arrives in a sleek and compact shell. The smoky hue of the enclosure exposes just enough of the interior components, such as the electronics and motorized parts. Even cooler is the flashy green glow your Pixel Tunes emit in dark environments. A UV light source can also trigger this mesmerizing visual effect.
A small snippet from the manufacturer reads, “But when the lights are turned off, the body glows with a soft, fantastical green light.” The body measures 26.5 mm x 135 mm x 156 mm and features a transparent/translucent dust cover so you can watch the CDs spin. The top also houses a rectangular display, control buttons, and a rotary volume knob.
Fill spaces with music via the built-in speaker, or listen privately with your favorite pair of headphones. Place the Pixel Tunes on any surface, or mount it vertically on a wall to double as another decorative element. Bluetooth connectivity is likewise supported, while the 2,600 mAh battery lasts between five and seven hours.
