Sony takes a trip back in time with USB-C: 1980s style: original Walkman headphones get a successor
Blue and orange foam pads made Sony's Walkman headphones the hip identifying feature of the 1980s. Now the manufacturer is bringing back the look - with a few modern details.
Sony is re-releasing a retro-style headphone, the MDR-3R, inspired by its 1979 MDR-3L2 model. The new headphones have a similar design, with interchangeable blue and orange ear cushions, and 23-mm drivers that produce a sound tuned to modern listening habits while retaining the original's balanced tone. The MDR-3R has a USB-C connector, microphone, and remote control for calls and music playback. The headphones will cost almost 60 Euros.
