The Discman is a portable CD player that was first introduced by Sony in 1984. It allowed users to listen to their favorite music CDs on the go, featuring a compact design and battery operation. The device became popular in the 1990s, providing a convenient alternative to cassette players and walkmans. Equipped with features like anti-shock technology and skip protection, the Discman improved the listening experience by minimizing interruptions. Although it has largely been replaced by digital music players and smartphones, the Discman remains a nostalgic symbol of portable music in the late 20th century.
