Retro style, but with USB-C


The Sony MDR-3R recreates the classic design of Walkman headphones with a retro style characterized by its attractive Orange padSony, however, includes a more discreet pad with a blue finish in the package.

One thing that stands out about these headphones is that they are not wireless, but wired like the old ones. And the good thing is that this does not present any problem for mobile phones that have “lost” the 3.5 mm jack port from these headphones. They use a USB-C port.
The ear pads are interchangeable and the headphones include an integrated remote control, as well as a microphone if we want to talk on the phone. It should also be said that they are very light headphones, weighing only 38 grams They include 23mm drivers.
