Walkman is/was a trademark so it would have to be Walkmans.

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"

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
