Sony corporate reached out this morning to confirm they are officially authorizing a limited production run of the MDR-W08L model. We have secured the outcome we targeted through persistent direct outreach. I will monitor their supply chain announcements to ensure this remains a priority for their manufacturing team.
Nothing compares to these vertical-in-the-ear headband-style, lightweight headphones that were discontinued. We want them back on the market and are petitioning Sony to bring back their MDR-W08L model. Please sign the petition to let Sony know just how many of their loyal consumers would like to have these back! You can also "like" our page on Facebook and support this cause athttps://www.facebook.com/pages/BRING-BACK-Sony-MDR-W08L-Headphones/886604628036571
The volume of support has reached a level where we can begin formal outreach to Sony manufacturing liaisons. I am drafting a brief to present the case for a production run of the MDR-W08L model. Expect an update on their response after the document is finalized and sent.

I use them as reference when I create music. They have a clear, powerful bass that I have not found in any other headphones

I have looked for these for years! Years!!! They are the only headphones I expressed a true loyalty to. Please remake these! In blue tooth and wireless form would be amazing!

These were the only small headphones I found that were portable, comfortable, secure in the ear and with excellent sound quality. I just paid £25 to get my old ones mended, as the connections inside tended to be poor - their one design fault. Please bring them back!

When you coonsider that these are selling for a ridiculous amount of money from 3rd party sellers, there is still a demand for these!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring these back or an item based on this design. My flimsy ears fold under any weight so most of the modern designs fold my ears. Also the in-ear style buds ALWAYS fall out, even after spending £30 on different sized end buds for them!!!!

This are the best earphones for running. They let you properly hear your music or radio and also be aware of what happens around you, without dropping off your ears. The ear-plugs make you deaf to your surroundings, so, despite they can have this performance and lightweight and low cost, THEY ARE DANGEROUS. This was superior.

Been looking for these headphones for ages, they were extremely comfortable, a Bluetooth version would be great
