I absolutely love their design language. I'll never have a need to own any of their products but I wish I could buy the gadgets I do need/want with this kind of design/style.
You can get their headset for cheap! That's what I did. And also the Playdate, although it's not cheap.

Synths were always expensive. Polyphonic, analog Stuff was clearly in the 5-digit prices. Digitalisation brought this down to 4...5000€.
The Yamaha DX7, the quintessential digital-replacing-analog synth, cost $2k USD in 1983, not $4-5k. I can't speak for what that cost in Euros (which didn't exist yet) or with import tariffs in an unspecified country. Today you can get one used for $500 USD. And while analog is and was more expensive, today you can get a Behringer Deep Mind 12 for $900 USD new and it sounds fantastic. Meanwhile, Teenage Engineering is…
Price aside, what is the use case for this? Bands or electronic live sets will already be bringing a bunch of gear (with 1/4" connections, almost universally) to a show. The size of their 6 channel mixer will not really come into play when you consider guitars, amps, synths, etc. So, who is this for? People using iPads and iPhones that need the smallest possible mixer? The audio interface aspect is available in many…
This might be handy for the Youtube buskers and such who are trying to minimize equipment size to stay very mobile.
My mixer is old, used, and not palm-sized but I just twiddle around at home. I've not released a track to friends and family for years, let alone performed a gig or sold anything on streaming services. So for someone like me this is a really cool toy to look at but well beyond an impulse buy.
I guess I'm alone in my preference for the design of e.g. the Sony DMX-P01 or the Zoom F8n. Maybe it's because I'm from the past.
I saw "from $199" and thought this looked like an incredible deal. Then realized it was just how the font was rendered, and it was actually "$1199". I'm not quite sure who the market for this is - that is crazy.
Wow, you're not kidding.

If I were ever to go back to the Wintel world (or whatever the word is for Windows+AMD), Teenage Engineering's computer is probably the only one my wife would allow in the house: https://teenage.engineering/products/computer-1
It looks interesting, but for me it hasn't got the same "want!" factor their other products have. The T1 10L ITX case just launched, waiting for its arrival: https://formdworks.com/
I get that it's limited-run stuff, but why would they hide information about their product? Visiting their website is pretty much worthless if they only sell in batches, and don't allow access between batches.

Does it even have mic preamps? I would be surprised if you could plug a mic directly into this without a cloud lifter or something.
It says each channel has up to 42dB of gain which seems plenty for most mics.
