To this day, I still see the simplicity and user centric design of the Walkman in portable music products. Every time I see someone listening to music on their headphones, I think of the initial introduction of the Walkman, and how that got us to where we are.
[It] freed listeners from the confines of their living rooms. In order to do this, original engineers made the decision to remove the recording functionality and forgo an embedded speaker, and added stereo playback circuitry in the available space to make the player more portable-a decision that ended up creating a whole new product category.
