Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Loewe We Hear 1

  • Impressive 40-watt total peak power output providing big, room-filling volume
  • Balanced sound profile with crisp highs and remarkably clear vocal definition
  • Excellent physical design featuring premium acoustic fabric and a convenient carrying strap
  • Solid IPX6 splashproof and dust-resistant rating ideal for outdoor or poolside use
  • Good wireless stability using Bluetooth 5.0 and inclusion of a 3.5mm AUX input
  • True Wireless Stereo functionality allowing seamless pairing with a second unit
  • Includes an integrated microphone for hands-free voice calls

What customers don't like about Loewe We Hear 1

  • Lacks a companion mobile app for software adjustments or future firmware updates
  • Deep bass frequencies are somewhat underrepresented and can feel lacking for a speaker of its size
  • Multi-point pairing is missing as you cannot connect multiple source devices simultaneously
  • Battery charging time is relatively slow, taking up to 3 hours for a full charge
  • Waterproofing is limited to splash resistance and does not support full water immersion

Verdict

The Loewe We Hear 1 is a compact, award-winning portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring dual broadband drivers and two passive radiators that deliver a combined total audio output of 40W. Designed for durability, this 740-gram unit features an IPX6 water-resistant rating alongside a 2000mAh battery that provides up to 14 hours of continuous playback with a 2-to-3 hour recharge window via USB-C. Additional characteristics include a 3.5mm AUX input, True Wireless Stereo pairing capabilities, and a built-in microphone for hands-free calls. Main pros highlight its powerful, balanced audio with a rich soundstage for its small footprint, its striking aesthetic, and its convenient integrated carrying strap. However, notable cons include its lack of advanced high-res Bluetooth codecs like aptX, the absence of smart voice assistant integration, and potential fabric-staining risks when exposed to rugged outdoor environments.
