Ask HN: People who were alive when walkmen were introduced. What was it like?

As the title goes, I was chatting with a friend when we saw someone wearing a VR headset in public. We wondered what it was like when people first started carrying around Walkmans. The idea of a Walkman is to isolate you from the rest of the environment with audio. What was that like for the rest of the people in public? I think of the people sitting on a park bench, seeing someone walking by with a Walkman for the first time.
