Do you remember the neon-coloured clothing, shoulder pads, leg warmers, head bands and big hair of the 80’s? Or do the movies and videos of the period make you dream of a time when products were that bit more colourful and a bit more fun?
With retro design becoming equally popular for all age groups, from baby boomers to Gen X, Philips Audio will pay homage to one of the most iconic product ranges of the 80’s with the welcome return of the Moving Sounds range.
Joining Philips Audio’s Century Celebrations in the second quarter of 2026, Moving Sound will feature four products each with a new interpretation of the original design and colours, and all presented with a modern technical twist.

MS80 – They call me The Tube

The Tube has been designed with one eye on getting the party started – whether that’s indoors or out.
Measuring W 510mm x H 200mm x D 165mm, The Tube is transportable thanks to either its built-in carry handle or integrated shoulder strap.
Performance is also delivered on a large scale thanks to 140W RMS power into two 5” woofers and two 1.5” tweeters. Bass is particularly impressive via two side firing passive bass radiators and the inclusion of the Moving Sound Bass+ technology.

The Tube offers Bluetooth – BT 5.5 – connectivity or the option of music via USB audio playback with Auracast™ for multi-speaker setups.
Set-up and control are easy either via the built-in colour display – that also shows an animated cassette to accompany the music plus The Tube’s built-in light show – or via the Philips Entertainment App.

Battery life is also impressive with 24 hours playback and the option to use The Tube as a power bank.
Moving Sound fans can also be confident in taking The Tube anywhere on their travels thanks to the IP67 waterproof rating.

MS50 – I’m The Roller – because I like to roll!

For anyone who remembers the original, The Roller is possibly one of the most iconic portable audio products ever made.
The latest version measures W 380mm × H 200mm × D 120mm and is easily portable thanks to the built-in handle.
Power output is an impressive 60W RMS into two woofers and two tweeters, with excellent bass via two passive radiators and the inclusion of the Moving Sound Bass+ system.

The Roller offers Bluetooth – BT 5.5 – connectivity or music via USB audio playback with Auracast™ for multi-speaker setups.
Set-up and control are easy either via the built-in colour display – that also shows an animated cassette to accompany the music and The Roller’s built-in light show – or via the Philips Entertainment App.
The Roller has an impressive battery life with 24 hours playback and the option to use the speaker as a power bank. While safe outdoor portability is covered by the IP67 waterproof rating.

MS5 – The Buds make Moving Sound true wireless

The technology may not have been available at the time, but the MS5 still shares the iconic Moving Sound’s yellow design in a bold, fun style or in black, with both guaranteed to turn heads.
Additional style is on hand thanks to the long carry strap in its own neon colour.
The MS5 combines classic design with modern tech thanks to the inclusion of Spatial Audio plus Hybrid noise cancellation featuring six Mics to block out distractions, with all six mics used to make crystal clear calls.

Multipoint connection and touch controls enable seamless device switching and easy operation on the fly. The MS5 also features Auracast and Swift Pair plus control via the Philips Headphone App which can be customized for a Moving Sound personal touch.

Battery life is an impressive 48 hours (ANC off) via the charging case that includes a display for easy control – or to show the signature Moving Sound cassette animation. There is also a rapid charge offering two hours playback after just ten minutes.
The MS5 can also be confidently carried and used outside or taken to the gym thanks to being IP54 rated dust and sweat proof.

MS1 – Lightweight and fun – The Bingo

If you remember using cassette on the move, you will remember the iconic design of the MS1, but now available with the modern touch of wireless connection and a built-in AI mic for clear calls with reduced background noise.
The MS1 is designed to be light for grab-and-go daily use but with large 40mm drivers delivering good sound over an extended period thanks the 26 hours play time.

The adjustable headband provides a comfortable easily adaptable fit with two sets of ear cups supplied, to ensure that they always remain fresh and comfortable.
The MS1is available in two colours, the classic Moving Sound yellow or black, both with a neon pink insert to evoke that nostalgic vibe.
Control is via the Philips Headphone App which can be personalized with Moving Sound skin for the personal touch.
