'Sennheiser X Freitag Urbanite Limited Edition' Released

“The coolest headphones meet the hottest bag brand!”

German audio specialist Sennheiser (www.sennheiser.com) has launched the Urbanite Limited Edition in collaboration with Swiss bag brand Freitag, a leader in the upcycling trend.

Sennheiser URBANITE is a headphone optimized for customers with an active lifestyle, featuring excellent sound quality, solid bass, and durability that is perfect for outdoor activities. It is especially popular for its unique cool design, which won the 'Best Product Design Award' at the '2015 German Design Award'.

Swiss upcycling brand FREITAG has gained enthusiastic support from fashion people around the world by introducing bags made from recycled truck tarpaulins, and is emerging as one of the coolest brands.

This special collaboration between the two brands was carried out to further emphasize the urban style of 'Urbanite', and gave birth to the limited edition 'F703 Sennheiser x Freitag'. In the limited edition, the black headband of the original Urbanite has been replaced with a vividly colored Freitag recycled waterproof cover, representing the lifestyle of the active, individualistic young people who are Urbanite's core customer base.

“This limited edition is the perfect combination of Sennheiser’s expertise in developing innovative acoustic installations and FREITAG’s pioneering approach to creating something new and exciting through recycling,” said Oliver Berger, Head of Global Design Management at Sennheiser.

Oliver Brunschwiler, Head of Brand Communications at Freitag, added: “The collaboration between Sennheiser and Freitag brings together high performance and distinctive individuality in one product. We are looking forward to this new product, which will be a delight for both the eyes and ears of our consumers.”

The F703 Sennheiser X Freitag model offers one twist on the classic foldable on-ear design, made of durable and high-quality materials. The headband's otherwise tough stainless steel exterior and aluminum sliders have been replaced with a colorful recycled truck tarpaulin cover.

Part of the Sennheiser Urbanite series, this limited edition delivers rich bass and intense club sound with Sennheiser’s acoustic technology that guarantees perfect clarity across the entire sound range. Featuring an integrated inline remote control and microphone, the Urbanite headphones are the perfect companion for mobile devices, allowing you to take calls and control music from your smartphone or tablet. Additionally, the extremely soft ear pads block out external noise and provide the best wearing comfort even when worn for long periods of time.

Limited to 1,500 pieces worldwide, the F703 Sennheiser X Freitag Edition is available at all Freitag Stores, participating Freitag retailers and on www.freitag.ch.
