(September 2, 2026, Hangzhou) – smart, the contemporary premium EV brand, and Sennheiser, the renowned German professional audio specialist, are elevating the sound experience in the ultra compact car segment with the upcoming smart #2. Following the introduction of the Sennheiser Signature Sound System in the smart #5, this expanded collaboration now brings unrivalled acoustic expertise to the brand’s all-new electric two-seater.
Selected smart #2 model lines will feature a dedicated 7-speaker Sennheiser Sound System, engineered specifically for the vehicle's very compact cabin architecture. Combined with Sennheiser’s proprietary Contrabass algorithm and expert acoustic tuning, this carefully optimised configuration delivers refined audio performance typically found in vehicles of the compact segment and beyond.

By blending smart’s vision for premium mobility with Sennheiser’s acoustic excellence, we are ensuring that every journey delivers an unparalleled, emotional sound experience.Mr. Kang Yi, Global CMO of smart
For the smart #2, Sennheiser has crafted a soundstage that extends music beyond the physical boundaries of the two-seater cabin while creating an enveloping listening environment for the driver and passenger. With three customisable bass levels and three sound presets - Studio, Live, and Vocal - drivers and passengers can tailor the audio experience to match their journey.
Our partnership with smart continues to demonstrate what is possible when automotive innovation and audio excellence are developed hand in hand. With the 7-speaker Sennheiser Sound System in the new smart two-seater, we have once again transformed the vehicle into a space that delivers the clarity, balance and emotional impact listeners expect from our brand. ‘Small car, big sound’ perfectly captures how our two brands worked together to create an unexpectedly powerful listening experience for every journey.Dr. Veronique Larcher, Managing Director Sennheiser Mobility
