    I'm not sure either if there are more differences than the cord and the plug.
    Looking at both headphones they look identical, I also think the MDR-3L2 is just an MDR-3 with a shorter lead and a small jackplug.

    The only thing I noticed looking at my MDR-3 is that the headband is black, the MDR-3L2 has a lightgrey headband, according to images I saw.

    Maybe I can find some more info, I'm paging through some early 80's audio magazines, someone has to have a write-up on the headphones. There might be something up in the Walkman Archeaology Thread.

    Sennheiser HD40 from 1983, I left in the date, the copyright is from 1981! These might be nice headphones but Sony blows them away with design.
