Description

This walkman became famous through its monkey commercials.

Support for putting the gum battery into the mainframe, so it can play without the need for an extra battery box, and achieve the size of a tape cartridge. With a new deep bass DDB sound (dynamic, basic, and enhanced) and an amorphous magnetic head, the charging time is reduced to 1 hour.
