Please don't make assumptions about the gender of a Walk
Re: The plural of Walkman is
Walkman is/was a trademark so it would have to be Walkmans.
Re: The plural of Walkman is
I think technically, because they're not nouns, they should not be pluralised
It should be "I owned ten Walkman cassette players"
Not "I owned ten Walkmans/Walkmen etc"

Re: The plural of Walkman is
In the same way, they shouldn't be made possessive...
i.e. not "my Walkman's headphones"
should be "the headphones for my Walkman" (or something like that)

The plural is pointless because you can only use one at a time
