In the early to mid 60's, the best I could do for music on the go was an AM transistor radio with a kind of hearing-aid looking one-ear plug. I rocked in my own little world and enjoyed music.
In 1980, I got my first Walkman and could put on a pair of foam pad headphones and play a cassette, for about 90 minutes before I needed new batteries, but I rocked.
Now, I can put on some Hi Fi in or out of ear Hi Fi phones and listen to stereo on my cell phone with a million albums to choose from.
I know it's easy to opine how I used to have to listen to crappy AM radio music while trudging in the snow, uphill in all directions, but we are getting to the promised land very quickly!
My son can plug his phone into the car and play me all the cool new music he has found, and I can make requests!
Pretty soon, lossless Hi Def music with no wires!
The future is so bright for high quality audio, Sony's gotta wear shades!
Cheers!
