Sony has officially introduced the MDR-3R, a pair of lightweight wired headphones modelled after the original MDR-3 that debuted alongside the TPS-L2 Walkman in 1979. Rather than relying on vintage analogue connections or wireless battery packs, the revived model pairs its classic late-1970s / 1980s aesthetic with a native USB-C interface tailored to modern smart devices.
The Sony MDR-3R lineup is now listed for pre-order in Malaysia through Sony Malaysia’s online store. The standard MDR-3R retails at RM259, while the Stranger Things Edition (yup, that Netflix series) is priced at RM299.
According to Sony Malaysia’s official website, delivery for the standard variant will begin in the middle of this month. Those who prefer the Stranger Things Edition have to wait slightly longer, as their unit will only be shipped towards the end of the year.
