On August 26, 2026, Sennheiser announced a new partnership with Mercedes-Benz in the gaming and sim-racing space, unveiling the HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition—a special variant of its acclaimed open-back headset. The product made its world premiere at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, with global shipping slated for November of the same year, priced at €399 (approximately RMB 3,134).
Built on the foundation of Sennheiser’s HD 620S open-back platform, the AMG Edition introduces a detachable HD 500 BAM boom microphone and a passive noise-reduction design, tailored specifically for competitive esports players and streamers. The collaboration aims to fuse high-fidelity audio technology with PC gaming and sim-racing environments, bringing the acoustic experience of real-world driving into virtual cockpits.
Both companies said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to immersive audio excellence, targeting enthusiasts who demand both precision and performance in their gaming setups. The headset retains the HD 620S’s signature soundstage while adding communication features essential for modern multiplayer and streaming workflows.
Sennheiser executives noted that the AMG Edition is not merely a cosmetic upgrade but a functional collaboration, with input from Mercedes-AMG’s engineering team on acoustic tuning to evoke the character of high-performance engines. Early previews at Gamescom drew positive reactions, with attendees praising the seamless blend of studio-grade sound and practical gaming utility.
The limited-edition headset will be available through select retailers and online channels, with initial production runs expected to sell quickly given the strong crossover appeal between audiophiles, sim racers, and esports enthusiasts. Further details on regional availability and bundle options are expected closer to the November launch.
