What's the long black cable coming off it?

It's the tether for your Airpods so you don't lose them.

Also, are those two circles the display? That's a pretty cool design. I really like old technology.

It’s a headphones cable with a built-in remote so you could put the player in your bag and change tracks using the remote built into the headphones cable.

Also you guys are making me feel painfully old.

I'm just fucking with ya, I'm old. Walkmans were a thing when I was young, phasing out portable boom boxes that used large non-rechargable D cell batteries.... All LEDs were red back then, because it was the only color available. The internet hadn't been popularised yet, and "yo" was a cool new way to say hello.
