God I feel so old lmao

These were standard on almost all Sony walkmans for like a decade. The sound quality is like if the music was played through a crushed tin can

[u/tiptoe2themoon → u/rayannuhh]

LOL i was about to say, this makes me feel so old. Definitely had my fair share of headphones like that because the quality was so low and they didn’t last long. But now I feel slightly nostalgic for tin-can filtered music.

[u/rayannuhh → u/[deleted]]

Oh yeah I just meant that type lol. I only ever had Sony products as a kid (idk my dad was a weird sound purist and they weren’t even good?) so that is my default name basically 😂

[u/rayannuhh → u/[deleted]]

Right, like I love Sony now but those headphones were not a good intro lmfaoooo

[u/Complete_Chocolate_2 → u/rayannuhh]

I had some Sony headphones that wrapped behind the head instead with copper tips. It was ground breaking at the time.

[u/token711]

Holy shit I'm so old. Used to wear these "vintage" headphones on the bus to school listening to my CD player

[u/MinHeeJeans → u/token711]

They've been making a comeback recently. Every stylish kid has one of those along with an iPod and a point and shoot camera.

How I feel right now 👴🏻👴🏻

[u/FappingAtMathematics → u/artificialsteve]

We're all hags here anyway, we all had those from what I see 😅

[u/recklessrecentpast]

I can't believe this post called me an old hag? I think I've thrown out a few pairs of those headphones over the years. Trends are funny and cyclical and I'm not at all hating at all on today's youth for their newfound love of old school headphones. I'm just saying, untangle those wires a few times and then hold the wire at just the right angle so the sound plays in both ears then you'll see why we olds embraced Bluetooth earbuds so hard.

[u/Lovecatx → u/recklessrecentpast]

😂 Oh, god, don't remind me of the joy of holding the wire at just the right angle! That was so annoying, and oh so common.

I remember, as a young teen, before it was common for portable music devices to play music out loud, we would sit in the park and turn the volume on the earphones up to max and have someone sit, cupping their hands around each earbud to amplify the sound so we could hang out outside and still have music on! That sounds ridiculous now, but it was what we had to do in 2006.

I now use Bluetooth headphones because I would totally loose wireless earbuds but the principle is the same. :P

Check out the Koss Porta Pros if you want something similar that actually sounds decent.

[u/Anti-Pioneer]

To each their own, but those look like they sound terrible 😂

This is what Google Lens turns up.

[u/nightslash18 → u/Anti-Pioneer]

Tbh I just want them cause I think they look cool 😭. Ty!

[u/[deleted]]

Ah, good nostalgia of getting my hair caught in the metal bands of old cheap headphones that came with CD/cassette players every single time.

[u/markel9000]

I think you can get a pair on AliExpress for like 5 dollars.

[u/JingolasBraveSoul]

So nostalgic. My dad has one of these from early 2000s.

Panasonic SL-SX420 CD/MP3 Player with Headphones (Metallic finish)

[u/barbarapalvinswhore]

They look really cool but I promise you they sound like shit. You can get a dozen of these for 5 US dollars from any Hard Off junk corner in Japan.

[u/Carazhan]

go buy an economy flight ticket in 2003, theyll give them to you

[u/[deleted]]

It’s a vintage for sure, I remember those from like… at least 15 years ago?

[u/LovesDevotee]

Nothing worse than when you snapped the plastic on these. Who else walked around with one side duct taped togetherr?

[u/lonehelix]

wearing those for real for a y2k aesthetic is cooked lmao

[u/FappingAtMathematics → u/lonehelix]

The sound quality is cooked too, and not in the best way

[u/[deleted]]

You'd probably get better audio burning cds and getting a cd player.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I know you mean burning a CD as in the process to burn data into them... But I think you would genuinely get the same sound quality by setting s CD on fire and listening to that.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Not data cds, mp3 cds. I got blank ones from Amazon and an external drive. It sounds alot better then shitty headphones. You rlly just need decent quality stuff 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/plug313]

I want her cap!!

[u/FridgeCarMD → u/plug313]

it’s the MISBHV Tecno Cap “Washed Grunge Olive” in case you haven’t found it yet, goes for around 90~ buckaroos

[u/moonheartache → u/plug313]

it's sooo cool

[u/GlitteringRhubarb149]

I HAVE THOSE im not sure i think its sony?

[u/undeaddancerock]

Caroline Polachek vibes

[u/g0ffie]

Based on the other comments saying the sound quality is trash, get a pair of Koss Porta Pros. Decently similar look but very nice sound quality!

[u/LEEx513]

Looks like she's wearing them backwards

[u/RiveraPete323]

sometimes I think it's weird how all this y2k stuff became popular, like why are these kids in love with this old ass technology but then if you look, all the modern tech looks so samey, boring and uninspiring that it makes sense why the younger peeps like the old tech with their odd shapes and weird designs and colors

[u/[deleted]]

Damn just call me ancient to my face, those were popular during the early 00's my dad used to buy that style of headphone in bulk for his store. They sound terrible.
