Think your headphones are premium? Think again. Luxury German AV brand Loewe, the name behind over 100 years of high-end audio-visual craftsmanship, has just entered the headphone game. And they’ve done it the Loewe way: unapologetically luxe, precision-engineered, and designed to turn heads as much as they thrill ears.
Meet the Loewe Leo, the brand’s first-ever over-ear headphones. Retailing at £1,299, this isn’t your average pair of cans. This is audio couture.
To make the launch even more notable, Loewe brought in global superstar Kylian Mbappé and DJ heavyweight David Guetta as ambassadors. Because if anyone knows the value of performance and sonic perfection, it’s these two.
Under the hood, Loewe Leo is a serious piece of kit: precision-tuned 50mm drivers, a high-end amplifier by Texas Instruments, adaptive noise cancellation, and support for all the premium formats, including Hi-Res Audio, Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Bluetooth LE Audio.
But it's not just about tech. Loewe’s known for design, and Leo is no exception. The frame is sculpted from anodised aluminium, finished with genuine leather cushions, and folds flat into an elegant carry case complete with its own leather lambskin travel bag, of course.
On the smart side, Loewe Leo is no slouch: voice assistant integration, real-time AI translation, Mimi Sound Personalisation via the Loewe app, and multipoint connectivity across devices. All with a staggering 65-hour battery life.
And because this is Loewe, sustainability hasn’t been left behind. Most components are repairable, replaceable, and upgradeable, making this a long-term relationship, not a fling.
In short, Loewe Leo isn’t just a pair of headphones. It’s a statement. A flex. A masterpiece of modern audio luxury made for those who demand nothing less than perfection, whether you’re remixing beats in Ibiza or zoning out on your private jet.
Available for pre-order now in Midnight Blue or Moonlight Beige, but chances are you might need to save for a while or play upfront for Real Madrid.
