From actors Jacob Elordi, Mouni Roy to model Hailey Bieber, wired earphones are staging a stylish return

- Akshita Prakash

SORRY, WE'RE WIRED RIGHT NOW!

We may be living in the age of hyper-digitisation, but a quiet throwback is taking hold. Wired earphones are clearly making a comeback.

With 2026 increasingly being dubbed the new 2016, the return of these once-discarded accessories was perhaps inevitable. What was once seen as outdated now feels refreshingly analogue and cool again.

No trend is complete without celebrity backing. Actor Jacob Elordi has been spotted sporting wired earphones on multiple occasions, most recently at Sydney Airport. Model Hailey Bieber was also seen wearing a pair during her recent Australia visit. Closer home, actors Neha Sharma and Mouni Roy have also plugged into the trend.
