Sony launched the $60 MDR-3R, wired headphones modelled on the pair that shipped with the first Walkman in 1979. They add USB-C, a microphone and a remote. An $80 Stranger Things edition is sold with Netflix, as wired audio makes a comeback.

Sony has launched the MDR-3R, a $60 pair of wired headphones modelled on the ones that came with the first Walkman in 1979, the company said on Thursday. They are on sale now from Sony, Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers.

The headphones keep the original’s 23mm drivers and blue and orange ear pads, with “” to the sound for modern listening. Unlike the 1979 pair, they plug in over USB-C and have a built-in microphone and an in-line remote.

Sony is also selling an $80 Stranger Things edition, with the Netflix show’s logo engraved on the headband, red and black ear pads and custom packaging. It is available to pre-order from Sony, Netflix and Amazon in the US.

Wired headphones are making a comeback with people who do not want to charge batteries, Bloomberg reported. A cable can also make voices sound clearer on calls.

In September, Bose launched $99 wired earbuds with noise cancelling, which have often sold out, according to Bloomberg. Bose has also moved into cheaper audio, buying Skullcandy in October.

The MDR-3R has no noise cancelling. Sony is selling it on nostalgia and light weight instead. Last month, it revived the Walkman name for three high-end music players, topped by a $5,899 gold-plated model.
