- The launch of the Loewe Leo headphones for € 1,299 / £ TBC (about $ 1,530 / Au $ 2,320)
- 65 -hour battery life, Dolby Atmos and high -resolution audio
- Wonderfully tactile rotary volume control
When Loewe released her ultra and diamond headphones in August, I wrote that “under all gems there is what could be a very credible rival for the tastes of the Max Airpods and other high -end headphones options, and I suspect that they will see considerably more affordable versions of these headphones in the course.”
And that is exactly what happened. Greet Leo, new and Loewe diamonds without diamonds.
The new Loewe Leo headphones are really more affordable than their six -digit brothers, although these are still a luxury product. And we have had a look at them, so we can confirm that they feel quite special and have a particularly satisfactory rotating volume control: that is the album abroad of the headphones.
Loewe Leo headphones: Characteristics and key prices
According to Loewe, these are not simple headphones; They are an “independent Hifi audio solution” with a high quality DAC and a high quality audio support: LC3+ A 96 KHz/24 bits. The diaphragms in 50 mm controllers are made of elastomer composed of olefin, which Loewe says it is very light and very receptive.
The headphones have Bluetooth Le Audio and Dolby Atmos, and the complementary application includes the customization of Sound Mimi. There are anc with transparency mode; Voice assistant support; Translation to AI and multiple connectivity. The battery life is 65 hours.
The comfortable cushions of the ears are made of leather, the headband is generously padded and the frame is made of anodized aluminum with a folding plate design, and the Leo comes with a hard box and a lamb leather bag. There are two color options, midnight blue and the beige moon.
And the price? While the premium, these Loewe headphones do not cost as much as a Maserati. The PVP of the Loewe Leo is € 1,299, with a price of the United Kingdom that is not yet confirmed, but seems likely £ 1,299. (That is around $ 1,530 / AU $ 2,320, although Loewe products generally do not reach the US.).
