Inspiration: Since the 2020s, CD sales have continued to grow as Gen Z has re-pursued retro ways of listening to music and the KPOP market share has exceeded US$5 billion.

Gen Z and older generations have become enthusiastic about CDs again, and there aren’t many ideal CD players on the market, so we wanted to develop a product that would appeal not only to young people who are into pop culture but also to the older generation who are nostalgic and once loved CD culture.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2023 in Shenyang, ended in September 2023 in Shenyang, and was launched in China in October 2023.
Operation Flow: The design of the left and right partitions of the interface highlights the functional area, achieving a more intuitive, reasonable and simple operation experience. The material is touch-up paint, which feels warm.
It retains the classic characteristics of traditional CD players, supports wired and wireless connection methods, ensures a high-quality listening experience, and supports multiple audio formats, meeting multiple needs for convenience, fashion, and high-quality sound effects.
