Loewe We. HEAR pro black

First product born from the collaboration between Loewe and Kylian Mbappé, this portable speaker marks the German manufacturer’s return to the wireless audio arena. Rugged and waterproof, it aims for expansive sound and long battery life for outdoor listening, in a cylindrical format that can be carried in one hand thanks to its matching shoulder strap. Three finishes are available, denim, neon, and black, marked with the KM initials at each end of the enclosure.

Six drivers for stereo sound

Inside the cylinder, six drivers share the workload. Four are active: two 7 cm (2.75-inch) mid-woofer speakers and two 2.5 cm (1-inch) tweeters, connected by a two-way crossover. Two passive radiators reinforce the bass, housed at the ends beneath the KM initials. The Class D amplification delivers 50 watts RMS, or 100 watts of music power, across a range of 50 to 20,000 Hz. The setup remains 2.0 stereo: to enjoy channel separation, Loewe recommends placing the speaker horizontally, sliders facing up. The sealed enclosure and its passive membrane seek present bass without relying on a port that blows air.

Adjust the sound without an app

Tone settings are handled by three physical sliders placed on the side, one for volume, the other two for bass and treble. You adjust the sound by hand, without going through a phone, which helps outdoors when your hands are full or the screen stays at the bottom of a pocket. An integrated microphone supports hands-free calling, and a 3.5 mm jack input accepts an analog source when you prefer a wired connection to Bluetooth.

Connect up to fourteen speakers

The wireless connection relies on Bluetooth 5.3, with A2DP and AVRCP profiles and the AAC codec. The latter works well with Apple sources; Android devices equipped with more recent codecs such as aptX or LDAC will not benefit from them, since transmission is limited to AAC. The distinctive feature is the in-house True Wireless Multi Pairing: up to fourteen We. HEAR pro speakers can synchronize to the same track to provide sound for a large room or a garden. This mode broadcasts an identical signal to all speakers. It is therefore not stereo pairing in a pair, where one speaker would handle the left channel and the other the right channel: this function (TWS) is not offered.

Twenty-four hours without recharging

The 5100 mAh (7.2 V) lithium-ion battery lasts about twenty-four hours of playback, enough to cover a full day without looking for an outlet. Charging is done via USB-C; allow roughly two hours with a 30-watt Power Delivery charger. Loewe does not include any power adapter in the box, in the interest of saving resources, on the assumption that a compatible USB-C charger is already found in most homes. It must therefore be planned for, preferably a Power Delivery model, otherwise charging time becomes longer. A 30-watt USB-C PD power supply is offered as an option to achieve the stated charging time.

Resist water and bad weather

The shell is IPX6 certified, which guarantees resistance to powerful water jets: rain, splashes, or a quick rinse pose no problem. The number 6 refers to water; the X indicates that dust resistance has not been rated under this standard, even if Loewe presents the speaker as robust against particles. IPX6 does not cover immersion, so it is best to avoid submerging the speaker under water. It operates between 0 and 40 °C, in relative humidity from 20 to 70%. In terms of size, the cylinder measures 28 cm in length with a diameter of about 13.5 cm and weighs about 2.2 kg, a contained but real weight that the included shoulder strap, matching the colorway, makes easier to carry.
