A Walkman. I thought they were stupid.
I got one for Christmas and loved it. It made walking to/from the Campus bus more enjoyable.
Except don’t play T U R T L E Power on it while walking because you start walking and making gestures in time to the music. I got a few looks, especially from a classmate from Turkish class who, along with his family, ran across me during that song.
Same here. I figured I would hate those too. I started using some as part of my singing practice (I’m embarking on a new career as a professional singer), and I’ve never looked back. They’re really fantastic at letting me hear my voice and block everything else out. And they let me keep things at a low volume to protect my hearing. I’ve started using them for listening to music when I’m out and about.
