Techmoan isn't dropping nearly $1k on a Walkman. Maybe in 15 years when he can get it off ebay for like $100. He likes his oddball music players but he's not gonna pay the Sony Tax for no reason.

Quite frankly, I prefer that, I'd rather see him do a video on an obscure tape format that existed in Nordic countries for two years in the 60s than a new device all sorts of outlets will review.

Absolutely. The only thing is that if he did review modern devices, his reviews would actually be trustworthy and not just some paid advert like so many other channels are.
