Sennheiser Reimagines MOMENTUM 4 Headphones for 80th Anniversary

Sennheiser is marking its 80th anniversary in typically bold fashion, unveiling a special edition of its acclaimed MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones that quite literally colours outside the lines.

Reimagined through the eyes — and ears — of pioneering German graffiti artist Bond Truluv, this limited-release design pairs Sennheiser’s audio engineering pedigree with street art flair, offering a fresh celebration of the brand’s eight-decade journey.

The MOMENTUM 4 80th Anniversary Edition fuses Truluv’s energetic visual language with Sennheiser’s well loved wireless headphone platform. On the left earcup, his distinctive “throwie” tag sits atop a raw, layered backdrop to evoke motion and texture. Meanwhile, the right side carries abstract linework inspired by audio waveforms — a fitting nod to the chaos and control that underpin great sound. Yellow highlights scattered throughout the design serve as a clever homage to the brand’s legendary HD 414 headphones, which in 1968 brought the world its first open-back, on-ear design and set a new benchmark in listening freedom.

Truluv summed up the design ethos by saying:

“I wanted the headphones to feel like sound in motion — fluid, raw, and exciting. Pretty much all of my signature styles lead to a certain type of music or even a special song.”

It’s a sentiment that speaks directly to Sennheiser’s ethos of crafting products that don’t just reproduce audio, but transform it into a vivid, personal experience.

Beneath the street-inspired exterior lies the same highly regarded MOMENTUM 4 architecture. Listeners can expect immersive audio quality with a rich, detailed soundstage, adaptive noise cancellation that responds in real time to your surroundings, and a class-leading 60-hour battery life — features that helped the original MOMENTUM 4 earn widespread acclaim, including praise from StereoNET’s Mathew Jens, who described it as “an effortless, immensely rewarding listen.” This limited run effectively blends high-fidelity listening with visual storytelling, inviting a new generation to explore Sennheiser’s long-standing commitment to “building the future of audio.”

In this writter humble opinion, it’s hard to overlook the milestone behind this release. Founded in 1945, Sennheiser has spent eight decades shaping how we experience music — from studio mics and pro audio systems through to audiophile headphones and, more recently, consumer streaming and speech-enhanced hearables now under the stewardship of Sonova. After spending some time considering the release material, looking at Bond Truluv's art and reflecting on Sennheiser’s place in the industry — this latest collaboration with Truluv feels less like a mere birthday celebration and more like a continuation of the brand’s habit of pushing boundaries, whether that’s through rethinking driver technology or partnering with artists who see (and hear) the world a little differently.

The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless 80th Anniversary Edition is available now in limited quantities at select retailers. It’s priced at £269 | €269.90 | A$369.95 | NZ $369.95. Australian and New Zealand availablity will commence on the 21st of August and will include a 'free gift with purchase' Sennheiser BTD 600 Bluetooth dongle until September 10th, 2025.
