Walkman CD Players

The very first Walkman cassette player came out in 1979, and these products are still going strong. They might not produce Walkman tape players anymore, but CD players are still being manufactured, purchased and winding up underneath of the Christmas tree when the holiday season hits.

Walkman is by Sony

For a long time, Walkman was used as an interchangeable phrase with any portable CD player, but consumers should not be confused. Walkman is a brand that was produced by Sony in 1979, and other portable CD players are different brands. They are not Walkmans. (Sony also concluded that the plural word for this brand is “Walkmans” not “Walkmen.”) We still love Sony, though.

Anti-skip in almost every product

Sony wanted their products to be perfect for the customer, so they always made sure to include this feature in their portable CD players so that you Read More

Line out option

Most of these come with a line out option, something that every portable CD player does not come with. A line out option means that the CD player can be plugged into something else so that people can hear their songs through a different device.

Digital features

People that were around when the first Walkman CD players came out are used to the older look, but with modern times comes a modern look. These products now feature hip digital options for volume control and track selection. An LCD display make these products even more modern, and a Read More
