   Would love a pair of these!

   My first player was a Sony radio only - FM only. Small, uncomplicated.

   Thanks for the contest.

   my first portable audio was definitely a Sony Walkman complete with awful headphones. My first foray into digital portable audio was (and still is) an iRiver IHP-120. After 6 years i'm getting great battery life and the sound output is amazing through my UE 5eb's. both the player and the IEM's are a little on the worn side and i'm looking to upgrade each.

   A Bose CD player with 'anti-skip' technology was pretty much my first portable player. It didn't skip, and I'd burn my music to CD-Rs.

   I'm now using a Cowon D2. The player is a few years old, but solid as a rock. I use a mint tin for a case: http://i47.tinypic.com/25hlb84.jpg. If I were to win the Sleeks, I'd store them in the circular altoids tin. ;)

   Mine was a yellow version of this. My sister and I had to share it and rotated Kiss, Neil Diamond and Bob Seger.

   I had an old Fisher Price tape recorder that had a plastic microphone attached. The neighborhood kids and I used to rock it up and down the block, record our band (which consisted of 4-12year olds and a blow up pool alligator) and try and sell our tapes to the neighbors.

   My first portable music player was a Sony Discman. Simple and limited only by the number of CDs one owned and amount of batteries one had. :)

   My first portable music player was a sony tape player, i don't remember the model but i remember the first album i ever listened to on it. Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Forever, nodding my head up and down through the south bronx. since then i've expanded to pink floyd, a perfect circle, and the libertines, how times change

    My first real Portable was a cheap walkman clone. But when I was a kid, we recorded greetings on briefcase size reel to reel tape recorder to send to my dad who was in Tailand at the time. It was great getting those tapes in the mail from him. More recently, I used an am/fm headset that I got for free from a Valvoline oil promotion. Worked ok, but ears would hurt after a while and when my kids found them, that was the end as they were plastic and snapped right in half.
    The 1st pic is of the cheap am/fm headset, but mine was even cheaper. This one looks like it has digital tuning, mine was strictly analog dial and dial for volume/on/off.
    2nd pic is similar to our reel to reel, but I'm not sure if ours actually had a cover for the top.

    My first portable music player was actually an Archos Gmini402 CAM, integrated camera was actually pretty useful, and definitely not a half bad camera... my friend broke it...

    Haha! My first "portable" audio system was a Sanyo cassette player like this one! It wasn't quite cool enough to be a boom box but you could put in 4 D battery cells and carry it around on your shoulder. It played one cassette, had a little 5 band equalizer and proudly displayed the words "Stereo" on the front. It even did AM and FM - it was feature packed :P

    My first portable was a knockoff of the original Walkman, ten years after they had ceased to be cool.

    It was a faithful clone, such that it even had the dual headphone jacks.

    Who ever had a second pair of headphones ? The headphones had detachable drivers, so I and a friend could listen to one channel each on the bus.
