Third-party reviews

What customers like about Loewe Speaker 2GO

  • Powerful 40W total output that easily fills a room or outdoor space
  • Excellent, well-balanced sound quality across highs and mid-range frequencies
  • Premium, sleek aesthetic with a durable, high-quality aluminum finish
  • Integrated subwoofer provides a rich, broad low-end presentation for its size
  • Convenient extra features, including aptX audio codec support, NFC pairing, and smartphone charging capabilities via USB
  • Clever integrated pop-up foot that tilts the speaker 7.5 degrees to better project sound into the room

What customers don't like about Loewe Speaker 2GO

  • Quite heavy and bulky, making it less ideal for true on-the-go portability
  • Underwhelming and clear speakerphone/microphone performance during calls
  • High, premium price tag compared to other portable Bluetooth speakers
  • Lacks water resistance or waterproofing, making it risky for beach or poolside use
  • Bass can occasionally sound boomy or lack impact at very high volume levels, where a hard edge can creep in
  • Volume controls on the physical speaker body adjust sound in fairly large, imprecise increments

Verdict

The Loewe Speaker 2go is a premium 2.1-channel portable Bluetooth speaker housed in a solid 1.3 kg aircraft-grade aluminum frame measuring 240 x 105 x 51 mm. Driven by three Class D digital amplifiers delivering a powerful 40W total music output (two 10W midrange/tweeter drivers and one 20W subwoofer), it offers a wide 80 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response paired with a built-in bass reflex tube. Key performance pros include its distortion-free, room-filling sound utilizing the high-quality aptX audio codec, alongside convenient hardware features like tap-to-pair NFC, a built-in hands-free microphone with echo cancellation, a 3.5mm AUX input, a flexible popup table stand, and a USB port to charge mobile devices via its 2,500 mAh battery. However, significant cons include its heavy, bulky chassis for a travel speaker, an average battery life capped at only 8 hours, and muffled microphone performance during voice calls.
