Portable CD playback with anti-skip technology, Bluetooth connectivity, shared listening, rechargeable battery, FM radio and wall-mountable home display combine in Gadhouse’s newest retro-tech release
Audio lifestyle brand Gadhouse today announced the launch of the Eric CD Player, a portable CD player that plays through the Bluetooth speakers or headphones people already own while doubling as a distinctive wall-mounted display piece at home. Created to celebrate the golden era of early-2000s digital music culture while adapting the format for modern listening habits, Eric is the newest addition to the Gadhouse retro-tech product line and arrives as interest in physical media continues to accelerate.
Arriving in perfect time for gifting season, the Eric CD Player is available now worldwide in the launch colour Ivory from Gadhouse global partners and at Gadhouse.com for USD 84.50 / GBP 59.99. Additional colours are planned throughout 2027.
Eric has been developed for music lovers who appreciate the deliberate ritual of physical sound. The player supports CD and HQCD playback and features anti-skip technology for smooth listening on the go. Its warm curves, tactile controls and clear display evoke the iconic feel of early-2000s portable audio, while the minimal styling and refined detailing reflect Gadhouse’s contemporary design identity. The launch colour Ivory offers a clean, nostalgic aesthetic that suits both personal audio setups and home interiors.
Modern versatility is central to Eric’s design. Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless listening through compatible headphones or speakers, while wired connections support traditional audio setups. Two dedicated 3.5mm jacks, positioned on the front and rear of the device, allow listeners to share an album with a friend or easily integrate Eric into a home audio system. A built-in FM radio adds further flexibility, giving listeners the option to tune in between albums or discover new music without switching devices.
Eric has been engineered to transition seamlessly into everyday life. The lightweight form factor and rechargeable battery offering approximately four hours of playback make it suitable for commuting, relaxing outdoors or enjoying albums throughout the day. At home, wall-hanging holes transform Eric into a visual statement piece, allowing listeners to display favourite CDs and bring the aesthetic of physical media into their living space. Whether placed on a desk, mounted on a wall or slipped into a bag for travel, Eric bridges the gap between nostalgic ritual and modern convenience.
“Eric was born from a love of the days when every listen meant something. Choosing an album, opening the case and reading along with the liner notes was part of the experience. To Gadhouse, the CD is a time machine that brings back the excitement of early digital culture,” said Petch Watcharaphon, Co-founder of Gadhouse.“Eric is packed with modern features but at heart he is an invitation to fall in love with physical media again.”
Arriving just ahead of the holiday gifting season, Eric is designed for music fans who still appreciate physical media and makes an ideal gift for anyone with a collection of CDs waiting to be rediscovered. To celebrate the launch, Gadhouse has also created an interactive online experience at Gadhouse.com/eric inspired by the early days of digital music. Visitors can burn their own virtual CD, tune into Eric FM and share their creations online for the chance to win one of the very first Eric CD Players.
The Eric CD Player is available now worldwide in the launch colour Ivory from Gadhouse global partners and at Gadhouse.com for USD 84.50 / GBP 59.99. Additional colours are planned throughout 2027.
Eric will also be available as a bundle with Gadhouse’s Red Dot Award-winning Wesley headphones.
