ANSWER –       Sony Walkman

 

It was the first portable audio cassette player that allowed users to privately enjoy music through headphones. This was revolutionary, and it soon won over the world.

Despite being a registered trademark, “Walkman” quickly became a generic name for all portable cassette players, and Sony sold more than 220 million of them before they became obsolete with the arrival of portable CD players, and eventually portable mp3 players.
