Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Loewe Klang S3

  • Elegant design featuring a brushed premium aluminium housing and slim profile
  • Versatile audio sources including integrated slot-in CD player, FM, DAB/DAB+, and Internet radio
  • Robust wireless connectivity supporting Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, and Deezer
  • Clear, room-filling sound with 120W of total music power
  • Large, easy-to-read 3.2-inch colour display and intuitive user interface
  • Flexible control options via local physical buttons, a dedicated remote control, or the smartphone app

What customers don't like about Loewe Klang S3

  • Advertised as portable in some listings but relies entirely on a wall outlet corded electric power supply
  • Lacks an integrated rechargeable battery for true wireless portability
  • Lacks a dedicated built-in subwoofer or passive radiators for deep bass performance
  • Relatively heavy and bulky at approximately 4.8 kg, making it difficult to transport
  • Lacks a 3.5mm AUX input socket for physical audio connections
  • No built-in smart assistant voice commands or water-resistance ratings

Verdict

The Loewe Klang S3 is a premium smart radio and streaming speaker featuring a 120-watt total music power output (2 x 30W RMS) housed in a brushed aluminum casing measuring 460 x 160 x 90 mm and weighing 4.8 kg. Its primary characteristics include an integrated slot-loading CD player, FM/DAB/DAB+ tuners, Internet radio capable of programming up to 25,000 stations, and a large 3.2-inch full-color display. The main advantages are its diverse audio sourcing options—including native Wi-Fi streaming for Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, and Deezer—as well as individual bass and treble controls that deliver punchy stereo sound with a modern, award-winning design. On the downside, despite marketing elements labeling it as a portable system, it requires constant power from an AC wall outlet since it has no built-in battery, relies on older Bluetooth 4.2 technology, lacks a standard 3.5mm AUX input, and features an awkwardly positioned rear USB port.
