IMHO, all those players are of no interest for me. They're just made from cheap plastic and all have the same egg design, typical from the last era of decadence of the walkman, where only cheap models were made.

I'm interested almost only in previous era (about 1980-1992), where high quality models were made. Like many models we talked about in the 'must have' post. But it's only my opinion...

I wonder how this seller managed to fold the headphones for each of these in an identical way, you could be confused for thinking they were in fact the same set, amazing.

They are about 9 quid too much.

Yes, AO! The care that went into the headphones cable folding.

I don't know if 1992 was the year Aiwa transitioned from models like the JX707 to the commoditized eggshells that everyone had. At that point CD Walkmans were still rare and no one had a CD burner handy.
The design department must have been sacked.
