This thread is useless without pics. Whole rig, incl. case, has the size of HM-602 alone.

Thats not what you do while grocery shopping... you should be hunting down the single mothers...

So true. My idea of a "portable rig" is something you'd use while grocery shopping.  In my case, it is a Clip+/Clip Zip and lightweight open-backed headphones....pause the tunes, and I can speak with the cashier without having to remove an IEM.

Omg, 64mb i wish i had that much internal space on my cassette player...
 
On a more serious note, where did you get it?

Hehe, my dad found it in his cupboard through a cleanup last night, he was going to throw it but it's in mint condition! Worlds first MP3 player; can't be thrown!

Great find. Especially for an audiophile. 
What's the brand and from which year?

It's the 1998 model (first ever) and it's by SAEHAN - I believe Eiger Labs made another version, but this is definitely the first one

Man, I wish Klipsch still made the Custom series. They had design issues, but they were damn sexy headphones. I almost wish I never got my C3's remolded.
 
Nice SFlo too...

So, how does this "vintage" mp3 player sound?

  Man, I remember the first mp3 player I ever had, was the psp I got back around 2005 as I been used to using portable cd players.  It really is an excellent multi-media device, still have a couple of the original launch versions.

This setup is nothing to sneeze at as the E6 is a much improved E5, and the Clip and PX100 need no introductions.

This really shows how far the portable audio market has come in the last 13 years. From 64 MB to 160 GB.
Technology these days is really an incredible (good & bad) achievement of man-kind.
 
My first mp3 player, which i bought in 2005/06, had 256 MB and cost about 35Euro/50$.That was quite a lot of money at the time.
But now, you can get 4 GB for half the price.It really is fascinating if you think about it.
