Carvaan to Sony A40 Walkman A Series: Gadgets that provide portable music experience to listeners
There’s no doubt that the iPod, with iTunes, revolutionised the way the world listens to music. But over the years as smartphones became common, the price of storage decreased and, thus, there wasn’t much reason to carry two devices with oneself. Soon, Apple let go of its iPod Classic in 2014, and the Shuffle and Nano iPods were substituted with the Apple Watch, which has the ability to store 2 GB music. Interestingly, the iPod Touch, which is still there, carries out all the functions of an iPhone. However, it can’t make a phone call for you.
Most millennials have probably never heard music as music producers, musicians and studio engineers wanted it to be heard. They have grown up listening to MP3 tracks that can’t carry the subtleties of the music.
