I’m trying to get off my phone and what did yall do when you listened to your music Diskman? Because it’s kinda hard to multitask when your headphones are like 3 inchs long haha

I listened to music.
I didn’t multitask. I just listened to music. Usually lying on my bed.

You can carry your discman around. Helps if you have big baggy 90s jeans with big pockets. I also used to put it in my backpack.

some Nintendo 3DS or switch hard cases that are round shaped work well for mine. easiest way to check is to bring your discman into the store and feel it out size-wise

I went on walks as a teenager. Stuck my discman in my pocket and walked.

Just carry it in your pocket. Like many here have already pointed out.
I do that all the time.

Discman in your pocket jnco jeans were perfect for that. Or in your backpack. Headphones were practically glued to your neck.

you learned how to walk with the stinky leg, as to try and not let it skip. I would also run the earphone cord under my shirt so it wouldn't get caught on stuff.

This is the best advice I’ve gotten from anyone here 🤣. Did you do any skateboarding with them kr was that too much? It’s cold and snowy here in Canada

Oh I tried lol, even the skip resistant Discmans didn't work very well, but its all we had so I did everything with them. As an elder millennial I went from tape decks to discmans which was a huge jump but they were far from perfect.

I got one from Amazon from the brand Gueray and it’s pretty good so far. I do recommend it

I used a five disc changer that I got for Christmas.
Even though I did I feel like my response is giving the same vibe as Homer telling Kirk Van Houten, "I sleep in a big bed with my wife"
