1983 AIWA does it again:
the "concealable" ultra-compact cassette player that makes
the others seem bulky by comparison!
It's HS-P05: the world's lightest most compact stereo cassette player. Weighing just 230g with batteries, it literally fits in your pocket, yet delivers beautiful sound performance in real 2-channel stereo. Best of all, you'll also have the option of adding on to your system with a wide range of high-quality AIWA accessories.

Smallest of the small
A miracle of miniaturization, the HS-P05 brings you an exciting performance from a cabinet measuring less than 212cm (1 inch) in thickness. And at only 230g (8.1 oz) it's the world's reigning featherweight champion!
Convenient operation controls
Except for STOP, controls have all been located on top of the housing, so you can easily perform tape operation modes — including fast forward, rewind etc.— with the unit in the palm of your hand.
AIWA also gives you the convenience of cue/review: that means you can advance or rewind the tape to search out the next tune (or the previous one) without having to switch from the PLAY mode.

Comfortable in-ear stereo headphones
So light you'll hardly know they're in place, the in-ear style stereo headphones (included as standard equipment) deliver amazing performance. High sensitivity drivers of samarium cobalt provide clear, dynamic sound without adding weight.
