RETRO TECH: WALKMAN

- 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 TH-cam 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.

@Commander Spock what
The best part was to watch this without having TH-cam premium.
?
Is it only available usually to premium?
TH-cam recently made their "Premium" content available to everyone.
Fuk. I need my money back.

I was going into the 9th grade when the Walkman came out. They were EXPENSIVE and one of our friends, who was probably the richest kid in the school, got one for his birthday. He put on the demo tape for us to listen - it was an airplane flying by - for us, and we all ducked because it felt like it was going through our heads.
My Sony Walkman helped me keep my sanity while deployed remotely in Desert Storm. It’s the small things in life that matter. Having your music is part of the soul 👍🏻
Man the mixtape part is so important. Making a tape for your girlfriend was a real thing in the 90s. Thumbs up
Jason Epps but who hasn't done that special playlist of tunes for their girl? Still happening
definitely still happening. we’ve just optimized it.
You did that to?
Now we make playlists for each other and thats still pretty cute imo
@@Extratone "optimized"
A bit more effort went into making it happen back then so it meant a bit more. Playlists are still thoughtful but you can put one together in 5 minutes if you want to

I was born in 1950, so I had a complete experience in all the retro items your series has featured. This episode hit me when you pointed out the isolation factor the Walkman introduced. Never thought about that back then, or even now, except for the isolation factor of the smartphone. I have felt that for years.
hellou. _ ) I was born 1979 - I really feel anger, frustration and dissapointment about How I did not care and keep safe my devices, Walkman, Headphones, Audio systems (aiwa, sony, panasonic) . the best thing now to me has been (this year ebay shop) to get an old Walkman FX45, not so good we know by age, other walkman FX43 unfortunelly I broke the Reverse-direction plastic controls one day later after receive it)
One of the "advantages" of growing up in a less than developed country, is that I am only 29, but I have used most of the tech you show in "retro-tech". Loved my walkman... :)
Yes
That's actually so interesting I never thought of different markets that way!
True that brother i am just 23 and have used all those techs Nd feel hw have these ppl nt known or used that stuff 🤔🤔
same here, these guys are either acting dumb with no common sense or they are really dumb. If their iphone is dead, their life is gone.
Wow you're 29? You must have grown up with some real antiques back then.
"as big as the Empire State Building and as loud as world War II" if that isn't the greatest description of anything ever.
Oh my gosh I died laughing at that. It's such an amazing description of something! Hahahaha!
James Rogers 😂😂
that gave me danger days vibes
sounds like yo mama
@@AwkwardHypernerd413 hell yeah man
all of my high school was spent plugged into a yellow sony sports walkman. I have 2 daughters that have broken every screen on every device they have ever owned and some broken ipods. WM-F45 sports walkman fell down stairs, went across school halls, slid across sidwalks and even went in the pool. Still played music easily.
I miss those Walkman Sports days in school. Grown up with a walkman, cd player, mini disk player, USB music player, iPod, iPod touch, iPhone and now its 2021. Crazy how it's evolved. Loved all of it and i wonder what's next!!
I was 15 when the Walkman came out. At that time they included a demo tape of various sounds. One of them was a airline jet fly by in stereo from right to left. First time I heard it I was panicked and excited at the same time. Will never forget that first time!
love your comment! my sister turned 14 and got one, I was eleven and got schocked as well!!
That honestly sounds like an awesome experience. Being taken aback by something so transformative at the time.
Even though i was born well after stereo output became standard, im still amazed when songs do weird shit with the mixing (hendrix, acid bath, etc)
I was the same age. It was one of those tech products that you didn't know you absolutely needed.
I remember when I got my first portable music CD player my dad kept referring to it as a "Walkman" , when I got an ipod he still called it a "walkman" , when I got my first G1 smartphone he said it was a "cellphone with built in walkman". lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it
😂 yup , my mom did too
My dad's first flip photo with an built in music player was called an walkman and everyone was super impressed.
😂 Dad's the coolest
😃
80's Kid Here! I remember the walkman very fondly :) Often had the cheap knockoffs, but the experience was what it was about, Taking my music everywhere. FYI The cheaper models often only had play, stop and fast-forward!
Back in the days where making a mix tape was a legit skill.
Yes mixtape and Playlist, and art cover
Amazing! I could see myself really getting in to that if mixtapes where relavent today.
Still a skill
Cedrick J'mack Niddle pretty easy now, you just need a tape recorder and an aux connected to a computer, amd that's about it.
You still need to adjust the bias and azimuth. Calibrating for the tape formula is ideal. Not every tape recorder can be calibrated.

I LOVED my Walkman!! And those "clicky" buttons are mechanical buttons. When you press one down you are actually pressing down on a linkage of some kind thats making things inside happen. I also LOVED mix tapes!! Its hard to explain how new and how absolutely great mix tapes were.

The walkman was the thing to have back in the early 80's, before that all we had was the transistor radio to carry around with us and this made it possible for us to be able to play the music we wanted while walking around. It was truly the first portable player where we weren't listening to a radio station and for me, I would use my boombox to record music off the radio and then put it on a mixtape which I would play in my Walkman.
I loved how you covered the culture of fixing stuff. Fun watching you and Judner go through the process of fixing a walkman. Watching you hunt for a dropped screw brought me back. Small screws, springs and parts left over but in the end we got things working again.

I'm Japanese.
For the first time, I learned that the Walkman was so loved by Americans.
Well that’s cool and what else did you learn about the west?
my dude it's loved worldwide not just America
Just like those Nintendos
Most Japanese tech is loved by westerners: Cars (Toyota, Honda, Nissan), TVs (Panasonic, Sony), Consoles (Nintendo, Sony, Sega up to some point)
@@20blog28 Yeah, dont know about Cars (I know Toyota is big). Cars that are used and loved the most are German cars (at least in Western societies) but with everything else I must agree, Nintendo and Sony are the Go To for me when it comes to consoles. Its because I can play everything else on a PC and those consoles have some good games on their own like Fire Emblem or Persona.
When I was a young teenager, I used to skateboard around with my walkman on and I carried a backpack with a bunch of cassettes and spare batteries. Now I can carry 5000x more music in my pocket. Amazing
And watch movies on a phone 🤳
Hi, I'm Brazilian and I bought my walkman in 1982, and almost no one had one of these at the time, with it I made my own music selection to listen to wherever I went. The invention of this "gadget" was really revolutionary. And it made me feel very good, the music accompanied me wherever I went.

Foi uma época muito legal. Meus pais puderam comprar pra mim, apenas o chines, que chamavamos de Paraguai, kkkk. E realmente, a experiência dos dispositivos analógicos eram unicas. Depois que fiquei independente financeiramente, acompanhei toda a evolução dos discman, mp3 players e por fim o matador de todas as tecnologias e o mais sem graça: o smartphone
I had to work for 3 months in my paper route job to afford my first walkman. But when I saved up the $100 it was so worth it! Completely changed how I consumed music. Genius invention!
It was an honor to test ancient tech with you and sing about being on fire--which the sony would probably survive 🙏🙏🙏

I’m too young for the cassette version, but I did have a CD walkman with the big purple window thing on the front. Man that thing was cool.
That is not a walkman, that is called a Discman, for obvious reasons.
@@mikatu Interestingly they dropped the Discman name for portable CD Players and went back to the Walkman brand in 2000.. So a lot of people probably have a "CD Walkman".
Of all the great videos on this channel...
THIS is easily one of the BEST yet!
First time I ever heard 'headphones' was on a Walkman.
Blew my mind, fact that sound so full it rivalled a good boom box could come from tiny speakers on your ears.
Without those first great MDR headphones, Walkman would have flopped.
This is probably the only time my TH-cam Premium became useful

Thanks for that Nostalgic drive bud. I never used a Walkman when I lived in India but surely grew up with it's cheaper knockoffs. I sincerely wish and hope that SONY legacy would stay forever.
What the Sony Walkman also allowed besides music recordings was the concept of the "mobile lesson plans." You could learn something new, take a course, learn a new language or improve in what you knew, relisten to a college lecture from earlier and it opened up that sort of "recorded lesson plan by voice" industry.
I had several of those. Different models to be sure.
But my first one was just like that one. But it was in 1983 / 84, it had fm am as well. Soooooo very cool. 😎
Toward the later days they had bass boost and the Sony turbo head phones. The air buds of the time. Totally bad ass.
I had a Walkman in the late 80’s and a Discman in the 90’s... but NEVER had to repair one. Proud child of the 80’s raised in the 90’s
I was born in 76. Crazy and you and had this, saw the transition to CD, to where we are today. My parents saw the B&W TV to color TV
really? I've owned three, and only one of them still works, which is the sports model from the 90's.
well they were new products then. naturally after all this time you'd have to repair them, and there's not many if not ANY new walkmans coming out worth buying.
Marques played safe and didn’t invite JerryRigEverything to dissemble it.
I agreed with you
Light scratches at a level 2, with deeper scratches at a level 3.
😂😂😂
Love this!!! ...I remember having a ‘Walkman’ from the early 80s when I was a kid. Only downside to them, is they would sometimes chew up cassettes. But still a brilliant device to play music. I still have all my cassettes from the 80s.
This reminds me to the 90's era, the golden era. Pagers, walkman, discman, tamagotchi, payphone and many more. Those time, even before cellphone. It brings me back to high school memories.
Thank you, bro...
Here in Africa 🌍 old tech is much more common because it is the Tech's final resting place.

Born in 2001 but still experiencing the walkman because cassette tapes is still popular in Indonesia till the early 2010s
Me too
Cassette tapes made Indonesia are the one with bulky plastic casings and using mostly metal tapes made by BASF and Maxell. Until now here in eBay UK they are still expensive worth at least not less than £15 if new and sealed. They sound like CDs.
@@redbishop71 wow, I dont' know if there's any other type of plastic casing. Brands that sell and manufacture their cassete tape in Indonesia was BASF, HDX, Maxell, 3M, Panarec (as far as I remember)
@@TunjungUtomo Yeah there is, the casing is made in one piece plastic , I think if I am not mistaken, they were called clam shell casings, and it’s just a one piece bulky plastic.
@@redbishop71 Metal oxide are the best, bearly any background hissing.
Man I love all the retro tech episodes you make, super good delivery, so informative and fun to watch as always
Wow, this brings back so many memories of my childhood. I had several Walkmans from the early 80’s into the mid 90s.
I was born in the 80s and lived through the end of it and the 90s as a child, I really appreciated this video, finally something to watch that bought back all the nostalgia, and I really appreciate Sony so much more now
The iPod did not kill the Walkman!!! The Diskman killed it waaaaaaay before the iPod. The iPod killed the diskman
I agree!
I disagree. As someone who has, in the past, had a Walkman, a discman, and an iPod as my portable music player, I don't think the discman really killed the Walkman. At the time when the discman was gaining popularity, walkmans were tiny in comparison, in addition to sporting better battery life and durability. I distinctly remember that I could make my discman skip by sitting down a bit too quickly or riding in a car on a rough road. Not to mention, a Walkman could fit in my pocket, a discman could not. It wasn't until the iPod that there was a portable music player that was small enough to fit in your pocket, but didn't skip, and had good battery life
If I was going to be in a car, train, plane, or just stay in one place, I'd grab my discman. But if I was going to be walking or exercising, the Walkman was my choice
Oh, and there's one thing I forgot. You could record over a tape however many times you wanted, but up until 1991, when CD-R came out that you could make your own mix, and it wasn't until 1997, when CD-RW came out that you could reuse a disc several times. The first discman was released in 1984
Kevan Banngertir actually Walkman still around.
What a fantastic piece of kit this was. Paved the way for portable music. This series is great. We need a season 2!
I am younger than Marques but I've spent my childhood listening music on Walkman...

@@mangoman0i299 nope, im very glad im in the generation i am in. i dont think enjoying retro stuff makes me want to live in that time. i love the conveniences of todays technology but i can still find things from the past interesting.
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.
I am 82 years old and this was a wonderful background video about how the "Walkman" came about. You forgot to talk about the transition when the devices gained recordability. Otherwise, it was perfect.

Goes to show how long it's been since Sony's changed the game. "Sony invented the whole consumer electronics marketplace.The first transistor radio, the Trinitron television, the first consumer VCR, the Walkman, the audio CD...the innovation that they brought to the marketplace was staggering." --Steve Jobs
And don't forget the minidisc, the laserdisc, the betamax (not the VCR that was JVC), and the PlayStation that changed the market so much that Sega dropped the consoles market.
@ Joe Pup: Have to correct you there, Steve. Both the audio CD and audio cassette were inventions of Dutch company Philips. They also had the best VCR technology (Video 2000), but lost out to VHS, due to bad marketing and refusing to bring out porn on VCR.
@@rightuppercut1426 correction part II, the audio cd and cassette were a collaboration between Sony and Phillips.
oh yeah! i remember my first walkman in 1987, god! how i loved that thing.
I remember as a kid how happy I was when I've got my walkman as a birthday gift, and I have never left home without this companion. I think it is also a great way to lissten to the music of 80s and 90s with an audio cassette , because this is the way it meant to sound, with all that imperfections but then also with sone of that analog charm.
Context: kids back then were used to repairing a lot of equipment generally. A broken Walkman was just another thing to repair.
Repairing the walkman, repairing cassette tape, & repairing your headphones.
Rewinding the tape with a pencil to save battery :D
@Kreature Feature nah, tech just became digital that's all, kids now know ten times more than kids back then, thanks to the internet and advancements in technology.
@Kreature Feature I mean social media distracts people but, instead of knowing quick fixes to walkmans/electrical appliances kids these days know useful shortcuts on computers/mobile and are taught to write lines of helpful codes at school, so yeah, they might not know about obsolete tech but boy, are they up to date with advanced tech
Kreature Feature the funny thing is these children will grow to become way smarter than you and me will ever dream of being, every generations becomes way smarter than it’s predecessors. You call them illiterate just like how the people before you would’ve said the same thing to you. Just sad
I'm 33 years old and the most Cool gift you can had as a child was a walkman. It changed our way to live forever. I want to see where we're going to be in 30 Years
Walkman in the 1990s??? I am 48 and they were cool when I was a kid, by the time you were 8 or 10 these were already superceded by CD Walkman
@@simonh6371 Yeah, but the Discman skipped a lot.
@@therealtrue842 True, I remember. So did cassette walkmen too, they used to make some (not original Sony) with anti-roll which were advertised as being suitable for joggers.
@@simonh6371 yes, walkman came in the 90s but before that this little guy was very popular, a basic item. At least in my country It became popular very late in the 90s until the anti-skip models arrived

I remember when my daughter found an old Walkman and I had to explain what it was and how it worked. i still remember her amazement at how something so big could hold so few songs. Still, she found the moving parts fascinating for an hour or so.
this novelty is a great idea and i truely enjoyed every moment of it!
Man I still have two walkmans. I had the clear acrylic one, and then the one my mom had that she gave me because I said I could fix it (which I did because it was the band issue you covered in the video). The one I got for fixing it was KICK ass. It was the UPGRADED version of the Sony walkman sport, it had a two way clip (lift up at bottom then pull off the cover to open and change tapes), improved battery compartment location (UNDER the tape so now your tape had to fall out first before the batteries could), a rubber gasket to prevent water from getting in, and an AM/FM radio all inside that cool little piece of tech.

The Walkman should be one of greatest created technology product for mass consumption that started the world of portability. I don’t think people had any portable and useful electronics before that.
Aw man, seeing that mixtape brought back the memory I totally forgot about how we used to speak to each other in the language of song names lol.
Like at 18:10, that was the sassiest playlist right there, with every song title being something you would sarcastically say to that person, or just have it be about the two of you in some silly way.
Obviously starting by getting into the groove, then just a bunch of sexual puns, and him/her telling the other person they like them, to Stayin’ Alive, which is what their relationship would like, totally do 😉 haha.

I was 18 years old in 1980 when a friend let me listen to their Sony Walkman for the first time. The album on cassette that I listened to was Billy Joel 'Glass Houses'. I was amazed at how incredible the Walkman sounded, in fact really I was blown away by it. The unfortunate thing about it was that the Sony Walkman was somewhere in the $300 range if I remember correct, which was out of the price range for an 18 year old working full time during the day and going to college at night.
Prices fell pretty quick, though, as the knock-offs flooded the market. Of course, the Sonys were always a bit more expensive just becaus of the name on them.
Awesome video. Gotta admit I did have one in the 90s, great memories, ability to make personal mixtapes was the best
I was 4 years old in 1979. The 80s were the best decade to really feel the Walkman hype.

First season was the best

I had a Walkman before which broke the rubber that runs the tape...I was very difficult to find a replacement rubber here in the Philippines, so what I did was find an old bike tire interior and I fashioned the rubber to the same circumference of the broken one...to my surprise, it worked which I did not expect...
This stuff was such a life/work changing technology. What a time to be alive. Used these at work when the rule was one ear had to be uncovered. I remember trying to rewire a pair of over the ear headphones to plug into a transistor radio. What the best part of the stuff today is. Being able to get to the song you want and skipping the ones you don’t.
I feel a little bit proud that, as a child in the 80s, I successfully repaired my Walkman several times. Different times for sure.
