#01Throwback Walkman
Many different models have been introduced since Walkman’s first appearance in 1979.
Join us for our throwback on Walkman’s history and see how it has evolved over the years.
You might find one of your old favorites!
The first Walkman. At a time when music was considered something for home listening, the compact body and ultralight headphones of Walkman made a new lifestyle possible, letting people enjoy music on the go. "Enjoying your favorite music anytime, anywhere"
This was the first Walkman specifically designed with outdoor activity in mind. Made of impact-resistant material, it features waterproof control buttons. Its bright yellow color has become the standard for sports models.
We named this series "My First Sony" in the belief that a child’s first electronic product should encourage interest in science and technology.
Transparent panels help stimulate that interest by revealing the inner works.
"Beans" Walkman features a skeleton-type design with a bean-shaped form-5 colorful beans!
A rounded body evokes the flow of sound and air, seeming to embrace music tenderly. Comfortably fitting in the palm of the hand, it never disturbs your listening pleasure.
Here is beautiful design enhanced by vivid text and graphics.
Packed with the latest in Sony’s unique technology, it features continuous playback for up to 50 hours and quick recharging in a compact size.
Featuring a neckband-like design that integrates player and headphones in a single unit, the wearable W Series Walkman does away with headphone cords, and can be easily controlled by touching the earpiece. This adds free-style enjoyment to your listening pleasure!
Our flagship WM1 Series brings together a range of high-quality sound technologies developed over many years. Featuring a gold-plated housing made of oxygen-free copper (purity: 99.96% or higher), it delivers crystalline highs with good reach along with clear, powerful bass.
