Relive the 80s Vibe: Legendary Moving Sound Portable Speakers Make a Comeback!

Step back into the 80s with the iconic Moving Sound portable speakers, revived with modern wireless tech and that unmistakable retro yellow flair.

A Blast from the Past Hits the Present

If you grew up jamming to cassette tapes and CD players, Philips’ celebration of its centennial is sure to hit a sweet nostalgic note. The company is bringing back its legendary Moving Sound series—a whole lineup of retro-inspired gadgets that scream 1980s vibes with a modern twist. Imagine bright yellow Bluetooth speakers and headphones that channel the era’s unmistakable style while packing today’s wireless punch.

Back in the 80s, the Moving Sound lineup was all about portable radios and CD players, paired with lightweight headphones designed to connect to your portable cassette player. Now, the revamped series, launching in the second quarter of 2026, integrates cutting-edge wireless tech but keeps the soul and those classic yellow hues intact. It’s like your favorite vintage soundtrack, but remastered for the modern audiophile.

The unmistakable bold yellow Moving Sound Roller Bluetooth Speaker blends retro style with modern power.

Meet the Moving Sound Family: Four Retro-Inspired Gems

There's a quartet of audio goodies in this comeback collection:

• The Tube and The Roller Bluetooth speakers
• M55 wireless earbuds
• MS1 on-ear headphones

Among these, The Roller steals the spotlight. This updated ghetto blaster packs a punch with 60 watts of power spread over two tweeters, two woofers, and two passive radiators, all boosted by the Moving Sound Bass+ system. Bluetooth 5.5, Auracast, USB playback, and a colored display featuring a moving cassette animation fuel the retro charm to the max.

The Roller’s display brings back the 80s cassette tape nostalgia in full color.

Not Quite Finished Yet, But Impressively Close to Perfection

At a recent Philips event in Eindhoven, the models shown were still prototypes, but even these early versions promised big things. The Roller boasts 24 hours of battery life and an IP67 rating—meaning it’s rain-ready and tough enough to be your outdoor festival buddy. Plus, a handy built-in handle makes lugging this powerhouse around a breeze.

The Tube ups the ante with 140 watts and passive radiators for booming sound.

Taking things further, The Tube is larger and more powerful, clocking in at 140 watts with side passive radiators for deeper bass. It matches The Roller’s battery life but throws in a neat bonus: it doubles as a power bank for charging your devices. And for those who love a light show, both speakers sync with the Philips Entertainment app to create a retro-inspired visual spectacle.

Headphones That Channel Retro Cool

Want that 80s vibe on your head? The MS1 on-ear headphones bring back the classic look of old-school cassette player headphones but with Bluetooth connectivity. Each ear cup houses 40mm drivers, and the slim adjustable headband is designed for grab-and-go convenience. Plus, an AI-powered microphone ensures your calls come through crystal clear.

Available in the iconic yellow Moving Sound shade or sleek black, both versions boast pink neon accents that dial up the retro nostalgia to eleven.

MS1 headphones mix classic 80s style with modern wireless freedom.

Cutting-Edge Buds with a Retro Soul

The brand-new M55 wireless earbuds pack serious tech: hybrid active noise cancellation, spatial audio, six microphones to snag every word in noisy environments, and a whopping 48 hours of battery life (when ANC is off). They support multipoint connections and Auracast, while an IP54 rating keeps them splash-resistant.

To top it off, the charging case features a display with the much-loved cassette tape animation—who says you can’t mix retro aesthetics with futuristic tech?

Mark Your Calendars for the 2026 Launch

All the Moving Sound gear will hit the market in the second quarter of 2026. Pricing details are still under wraps, but given the blend of nostalgic design and modern features, anticipation is sky-high.
