Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Loewe Klang S1

  • Excellent, crystal-clear sound quality with balanced acoustics and no distortion at higher volumes.
  • Premium, elegant, and minimalist brushed aluminum housing with award-winning design aesthetics.
  • Extensive connectivity features, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Internet radio, DAB/DAB+ tuner, and FM radio.
  • Seamless integration with major native streaming services like Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, and Deezer.
  • Large, intuitive 3.2-inch color display that makes navigation and reading song or station details easy.
  • Multiple convenient control options via the on-device interface, physical remote control, or the Loewe Radio app.

What customers don't like about Loewe Klang S1

  • Not a truly portable speaker as it weighs over 3 kg and lacks an integrated rechargeable battery, requiring permanent connection to a power outlet.
  • Poor value for money relative to its high price point according to some users.
  • Potential long-term durability and reliability issues with the internal power supply units reported after the warranty period.
  • Utilizes an older Bluetooth 4.2 protocol instead of more modern standards.

Verdict

The Loewe Klang S1 is a premium smart tabletop speaker and radio featuring 80 watts of total music output power, front-facing stereo speakers, and a frequency range of 67 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Main characteristics include an integrated FM/DAB/DAB+ tuner with up to 25,000 stations, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 for streaming Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music, and a high-resolution 3.2-inch color display housed in a sleek brushed aluminum casing. Its main pros are exceptional crystal-clear sound quality, versatile control options via a remote or the Loewe Radio app, and an award-winning minimalist design. However, notable cons include its dependency on corded electric power despite being marketed under portable highlights, a lack of voice command support, and the absence of a standard 3.5mm AUX input.
