The model retains the thin headband, blue-and-silver colorway, and on-ear foam pads of the MDR-3L2 that shipped with the TPS-L2 Walkman, while adding an inline remote with volume control and a microphone. Reviews note the sound signature is bright and airy with limited bass, consistent with the vintage reference. The headphones are available now through Sony's online store and select retailers.Why
