Sony Group Corp. introduced an inexpensive pair of wired headphones, joining a growing trend in what it called “a nod to both the ’80s Walkman era and today’s retro tech revival.”

The $60 MDR-3R, available Thursday, are inspired by the pair that Sony shipped alongside the original Walkman in 1979, but the new set has been modernized with a USB-C connector, built-in microphone for voice calls, and an in-line remote.
