Top down view of the Discman Welcoming the Sony Walkman DEJ016CK Portable CD Player to my little dainty collection. Just in time for the new year! Commonly referred to as a Discman, this model looks sleek and has a certain allure to it's appearance, showing how the most vintage of things could be so simple.  First  rolled out in 2006, the Discman usually came accompanied with a simple headset.
