How Loewe are changing the future of Audio Technology!
For over a century, Loewe has set the benchmark for German craftsmanship, innovation, and design excellence. Since its founding in 1923, the brand has earned a global reputation for pioneering premium home entertainment — from the first demonstrations of the world’s fully electronic television, to today’s top-of-the-range OLED masterpieces and sound systems that unite precision engineering with quality and luxury. The brand’s self-proclaimed “Home of Excellence” title is undeniably well earned.
Now, Loewe enters a new era of sound, extending its design philosophy beyond the home. Continuing its legacy of innovation and excellence, the brand debuts its first ever headphones — the Loewe Leo.

Leo represents a bold step into luxury-tech, where exceptional sound meets sculptural design. The headphones look and feel unmistakably Loewe, and the brand continues to cleverly embody the concept of ‘quiet luxury’ through its intricate yet understated design language.
Available in two refined colourways — Midnight Blue and Moonlight Beige — the debut also marks the beginning of a collaboration that merges innovation with opulence. Loewe has partnered with Jacob & Co., the world-famous New York jeweller, to create an additional ten limited-edition pairs of the headphones, each handcrafted and embellished with Jacob’s signature touch of diamonds and gemstones. These collector’s pieces elevate the concept of wearable sound into the realm of supreme luxury, where performance meets both art and fine jewellery.

The Loewe X Ibiza Experience!
To mark the launch, PAUSE joined Loewe in Ibiza, the island synonymous with sound, style, and self-expression. Global DJ and producer David Guetta fronted the experience, his philosophy on music — that sound should be emotional, immersive, and transportive — perfectly echoing Loewe’s campaign theme: “Travel Beyond Sound.”
The setting couldn’t have been more fitting. As the sun set over the Balearic skyline, we became some of the first to experience the Leo headphones in their natural habitat — where sound, rhythm, and energy collide.
The Blind Sound Test!
To truly test the Leo’s performance, Loewe arranged a blind listening session against five leading headphone brands, including Bang & Olufsen, Focal, and Mark Levinson. Track after track, across genres and soundscapes, the Leo emerged as the standout — its clarity, balance, and emotional intensity captivating us instantly.
After the reveal, we were given an in-depth introduction by Bear Clark, the visionary and Senior Audio Engineer behind the Leo, who walked us through the many layers of its design, components, and functionality.
The attention to sustainability, craftsmanship, and AI-driven technology makes the Leo a true original, a rare headphone concept that feels both futuristic and enduring.

F*** ME I'M FAMOUS! By David Guetta at Ushuaïa Ibiza!
The launch concluded at Ushuaïa Ibiza, where David Guetta held his summer residency, an electrifying finale that encapsulated the Leo’s ethos: music as emotion, precision, and experience. Could these be the best headphones on the market right now? We’ll let the sound speak for itself.
