Eindhoven Sept 17th 2025:  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.
