Today, the Sony Walkman inspires nostalgia, but in the 1980s, it was feared as a dangerous device that could disconnect society.

    Unless they clearly say so, assume the same crappy Chinese magnetic head/motor combo single integrated module as in every other cassette player these days. I wouldn’t buy it.

      They do indeed specify some sort of high voltage precision motor and a copper flywheel. And they claim a custom movement design.

      And since it is an enthusiast device from a company with a good reputation, you can easily find teardowns online.

      Anyway, you can read reviews online, there are plenty of them, and make your own mind.
