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 2

  • Sleek and award-winning German design with vibrant colour options
  • Impressive 15 to 17 hours of battery life on a single charge
  • Good spatialization and a wide soundstage when positioned horizontally
  • Solid IPX6 rating making it splash-proof and ideal for outdoor/poolside use
  • Clear, lively mid-to-high frequency reproduction with minimal distortion
  • Convenient inclusion of a 3.5mm AUX input and built-in microphone for hands-free calls
  • Supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) to pair two units together

What customers don't like about Loewe We Hear 2

  • Bass response can feel timid and lacks deep punch for outdoor parties
  • The overall dynamic range is somewhat limited compared to top-tier competitors
  • Relatively heavy and bulky (around 2kg) to carry around without using the strap
  • No dedicated smartphone app for advanced equalization or customization
  • Relies on older Bluetooth 5.0 and lacks support for high-resolution audio codecs

Verdict

The Loewe We. HEAR 2 is an award-winning portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring a two-way system with 2 mid-midrange drivers, 2 tweeters, and 2 passive radiators that deliver a total music output power of 60W (2x 15W RMS) across a frequency range of 58 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Main pros include its durable, dust-proof, and splash-proof IPX6-rated construction, an impressive lithium-ion battery life of up to 17 hours on a single charge, True Wireless Stereo pairing capabilities, a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and a convenient 3.5mm AUX input alongside its USB-C port. However, notable cons include its lack of a dedicated smartphone control application for customized EQ adjustments or firmware updates, and the absence of Bluetooth multipoint connectivity for linking two devices simultaneously.
