Sony Revives the Original Walkman Headphones, Now With USB-C

Sony is bringing back its original Walkman headphones, updated with a USB-C port in place of the older connector. The port is the headline change: it puts the accessory on the same connector that most current phones, laptops and tablets use.

The relaunch also leans on the look of the original. Sony is including a set of orange ear cushions, a bold color choice that recalls the playful styling of the Walkman era.

The source material does not include pricing, a release date, or details on how the USB-C port is used, so those points are still open until Sony publishes full specifications. For anyone who owns a vintage pair or a classic Walkman, the update suggests Sony sees continuing value in its archive of portable audio designs.
