10 Cool Sony Walkman photos - celebrate Walkman's 30th birthday
Happy 30th birthday Sony Walkman. You might’ve lost out a lot to the iPod but I’ll never forget your chunky cassette playing ’80s magic or your “can’t play the last track on a really full CD” Discman.

5. Wow, mashup. Fully functioning paper based Walkman, but using Sanyo tape player. Don’t get this wet.

7. Sony in the 1980s. Gotta love it. “Once again Sony turns the world of headphones upside down”. What, by putting DRM on them?
8. Walkman pr0n! Definitely a lot of exposed components here – almost an orgy. WM-DD30 meets WM-DD33.
9. “I’m your father”. So true.
10. You’re looking at the phones, right? It’s what I go to trade fairs for…
