When the Sony Walkman hit the market in the 1970s, it was the first time we were able to take our music with us on-the-go. I explore this iconic piece of tech—from the inspiration behind its compact design to how it changed portable audio forever. I also enlist the help of fellow YouTube creator Judner A.K.A. Uravgconsumer to fix a busted Walkman. The Gregory Brothers join me to test out whether a vintage Walkman is durable enough to survive a game of ultimate frisbee.

It'd be cool if you did a video on Betamax cameras considering how much stuff you used to need to record with them. Worth showing how easy it is to record video now without needing a psu, and separate recording device.
I had the silver Walkman 2 with the detachable belt clip and external backup battery pack. The headphones had the orange earpieces and the hot line button built into the cord. I had a ton of cassette tapes. We would record our albums and CD’s onto cassette to listen to on the Walkman and in the car. Good times back then.
It’s amazing how far we’ve come with technology.
The new generation can't fix anything even with instructions….dramatic hahah
My dad was 9 in 1979 when the walkman was introduced he had one in the 1980s when he was in high school

Never had a Sony walkman but I will always remember getting my Coby portable cassette player at Kmart in the early 90s and listening to Blues Traveler's Four tape. Hahaha…Loved it!
Marques should do a part 2 one day on the Discman.
Should've made a wireless version
