Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Loewe Airspeaker

  • Powerful yet detailed audio performance with an 80W total output
  • Deep and beefy bass handled efficiently by two integrated subwoofers
  • Excellent vocal clarity and well-balanced acoustic control
  • Beautifully minimalist, premium design with solid build quality
  • Customisable aesthetic featuring interchangeable top inlay panels
  • Addictively simple and intuitive user controls on the unit

What customers don't like about Loewe Airspeaker

  • Clumsy, complex, and fiddly initial Wi-Fi and AirPlay setup process
  • Requires a physical Ethernet cable connection during the first setup
  • Extremely high and restrictive premium price tag
  • Limited connectivity options poorly optimised for non-Apple users
  • Lacks a native hardware remote control
  • Slightly noticeable chassis vibration under heavy upper-bass load

Verdict

The Loewe AirSpeaker is a premium tabletop speaker engineered primarily for the Apple ecosystem, featuring a minimalist aluminum-and-wood cube design customizable with interchangeable colored top panels. Its robust 2.1-channel audio configuration packs an 80-watt total output driven by two 18 mm tweeters, two 100 mm mid-range drivers, and two integrated subwoofers across a frequency range of 45 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The device's main strengths lie in its exceptional sound quality, solid German build structure, and seamless network audio streaming via Apple AirPlay, complemented by physical connections like Ethernet, USB, and a 3.5 mm auxiliary port. However, it suffers from notable limitations for on-the-go use, as it requires a corded AC electric power source and entirely lacks a built-in rechargeable battery, Bluetooth support, or a native remote control.
