"Louder than World War 2". Wasn't that the truth!

....music can soothe the savage breast... hilarious.

Much better sound quality than today's portable devices.

[@DarthHater100]

Objectively false. Unless you think low fidelity sound covered in tape-hiss is "better". You must not have lived during the times of the Walkman, because Walkmans sucked.

That is completely untrue, it’s nostalgia you’re thinking about.
