Apparently, we’re going ALL the way back to 1979 because Sony is bringing back the headphones that originally came with its iconic Walkman cassette player!
The new headphones, called the MDR-3R, look almost identical to the originals, featuring that thin, adjustable metal headband and colorful circular ear cushions. You can even choose between the classic orange or blue!
And while most headphones these days are wireless, Sony is keeping things old-school with a wired connection. But there’s one modern upgrade: a USB-C connector, so you can plug them into today’s devices.
They’ve also added a built-in microphone and controls, but don’t expect fancy noise cancellation or booming bass. Sony even used the same size speakers as the originals to recreate that classic sound.
The comeback comes as wired headphones and other retro technology are becoming popular again. Apparently, everything our parents used is cool now!
And if you’re looking to relive your Walkman days, the headphones are available for $60.
Now all we need is a cassette tape and a pencil to rewind it!
