Sony Walkman NW-A105 takes you back to good old days, but at a high price


The year 2020 seems more about nostalgia than anything else, especially for the kids of the 1990s.

Old phones are making a comeback in new avatars (we're talking about the Moto Razr (not Nokia, as it's long gone, and people have moved on), Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag opening the innings in a cricket match together, even if not for the national team (in the Road Safety World Series), and yes it’s happening: the F.R.I.E.N.D.S cast is reuniting for an exclusive special on HBO Max.

In the middle of all this, Sony has brought its new Walkman, the Sony NW-A105, which has a nostalgic appeal that takes us back to the good ol' days when things were simple and easy.

One might wonder... what's the deal with Sony? Why would it launch a Walkman in the streaming age? We had the same question, so we spent a month with Sony's first Android Walkman and tried to find the answers.

I do not have one of the sharpest memories when it comes to dates, but if it serves me right, it was in 2003-2004 that I first noticed a Walkman and demanded one from my family.
