Sony sold its waterproof Walkman headphones in a container of water to demonstrate their waterproof feature.

Infact verdict: Mixed (46/100).

There is no specific evidence indicating that Sony sold its waterproof Walkman headphones in a container of water. However, Sony's marketing often highlights their products' waterproof features. The Sony Walkman is IPX5/8 rated, making it suitable for use in water. No direct corroboration was found for the specific marketing tactic of using a container of water, hence the claim remains unverified based on the evidence.
