I like how it looks but I don’t think there’s enough room for the tape heads. I know it’s more about the vibe but is there an example of the tape side having so little room?

There really isn't is there? I'm not aware of any compact version. But I feel like the design could be fairly easily fixed.

They would have to retract, and there wouldn’t be enough space for that. But when you see the Sony WM-EX672 size it doesn’t sound that crazy.
