Sennheiser and Mercedes-Benz have unveiled the first product of a new multi-year partnership: the Sennheiser HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition, a gaming-tuned version of the acclaimed HD 620S open-back headphone. The Sennheiser HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition made its public debut at gamescom 2026 in Cologne, the world’s largest video game trade fair, where it was on display at the Mercedes-Benz booth alongside the announcement of the wider collaboration between the two brands.
A Gaming Edition Built on the HD 620S
Rather than designing an entirely new gaming headset from scratch, Sennheiser based the HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition on the well-regarded HD 620S, applying the same “True Sound” philosophy and precision engineering that has defined the brand’s audiophile headphones for decades. The result is a gaming headset that Sennheiser positions as a performance-audio product first, styled with Mercedes-AMG’s signature black-and-red accents and AMG branding on the earcups and headband.
Johann Evanno, Category Director at Sennheiser Consumer Hearing, said the collaboration reflects a shared obsession with performance and precision between the two brands, while Product Manager Christian Ern emphasized that engineering integrity was never compromised in adapting the HD 620S platform for gaming use.
A Detachable HD 500 BAM Microphone
The defining feature of the Sennheiser HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition is its bundled HD 500 BAM, a boom-arm microphone that clips onto the headset for voice chat and competitive play. Crucially, the HD 500 BAM is fully detachable, meaning the headset can instantly switch from a gaming peripheral into a dedicated open-back listening headphone for audiophile sessions once the microphone is removed. This dual identity is central to how Sennheiser wants gamers to think about the HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition: not as a headset that happens to play music well, but as a genuine high-end headphone that also happens to support voice chat.
Part of a Broader Push Into Gaming Audio
The HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition arrives as Sennheiser, whose consumer headphone business is licensed and operated by Sonova Consumer Hearing, continues to expand its presence across categories beyond traditional hi-fi listening. The brand has been active on multiple fronts this year, including the recently announced Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 earbuds, and the Mercedes-AMG partnership signals that gaming is now viewed as a long-term growth category rather than a one-off collaboration. Showing the Sennheiser HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition at gamescom, rather than at a traditional audio trade show, underlines that ambition.
Pricing and Availability
The Sennheiser HD 620 Mercedes-AMG Edition is priced at €399 and is scheduled to ship starting in November 2026. The headset was shown publicly for the first time on the Mercedes-Benz booth at gamescom in Cologne, and further details are available through Sennheiser’s official consumer hearing website, which will list regional availability closer to launch.
