The Sony Group launched the MDR-3R, a cheap wired headset that costs $60 and went on sale on Thursday. It was inspired by the headphones that Sony included with the first Walkman Walkman in 1979, and is in line with the current revival of retro technology. The headset retains the same 23 mm drivers as its retro prototype to present similar sound quality while being fine-tuned to better suit the preferences of modern listeners. Sony is also launching a high-end linkage model that costs $80, collaborates with Netflix's “Stranger Stories” series, and includes a custom package and the title engraved on the fuselage hardware.
