Does nobody use portable digital music players like the iPod or Walkman anymore?

I bought one a couple of years ago as a gift, a Sony Walkman, and it never got gifted (a whole other story), so in cleaning things out I found it, brand new in its box.

Originally I bought it for a little over $400 and put it out on local social media for sale at $125. Not a single person was interested, didn't even gat a lowball offer.

I'm thinking I'll end up giving it away... how can something go obsolete so fast? Is it because of smartphones?

I had a cassette Walkman and then a CD Walkman. The sound on those things was great. Now all I have is this tablet and the sound is really tinny even with headphones. Not designed for music.

There is an ad just below this for adult diapers. Some company sure has SW all figured out.

@hunkalove Yeah, I tested this one out and via a Bluetooth speaker I have, the sound was amazing.
