The techno-nostalgia trend continues as Sony releases a smartphone-friendly version of its first Walkman headphones, along with a Stranger Things special edition.
Once again, I so appreciate the balanced approach you take to this subject: only mild, inferred (and appealingly dry) judgment, and more a presentation of ‘this will happen, or this: you choose’. Nicely done, thank you.
Although true Gex X nostalgia aficionados know that the true retro headphone champion was the Koss P/19 (orange foam). 😆
Ha! Funny you should bring the Koss. Since researching this story i’ve been so curious about the decision to give Max a set of Realistic headphones to go with her Walkman.
The Nova 45 would have been a good, cost effective replacement for the original headphones that came with her WM-8 if she'd lost or damaged them. I’m sure tons of people did the same thing at the time. Radio Shacks were on almost every corner.
And yet, the Koss P19 would have been cheaper and probably the ones she’d have actually bought.
Maybe the props department decided that the Koss orange cushions would clash with Max’s red hair while the Nova 45’s black/silver colors gave them contrast?

I sure hope someone who knows chimes in :-)
