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.
