Loewe’s first over-ear headphones are here – and they’re backed by David Guetta and Kylian MbappéAfter unveiling a pair of uber-high-end diamond-encrusted headphones – worth over $135,000 – last month, German electronics brand Loewe has launched its first ever pair of production-run over-ear headphones, Loewe leo.
The headphones combine “state-of-the-art technology, superb sound quality, and timeless design”, and have two very well-known faces proudly sporting them for the launch: footballer Kylian Mbappé – who’s been global Loewe ambassador since 2024 – and world renowned DJ David Guetta.

The Loewe leo headphones integrate a “top-quality” DAC, precision 50mm drivers, and full high-resolution codec support. The driver features a diaphragm crafted from lightweight OCE (Olefin Composite Elastomer), which according to Loewe, has a fast response and natural damping, and “delivers clear vocals, detailed highs, and smooth, controlled bass.”
Further key features include adaptive noise cancellation, transparency mode, and support for Hi-Res Audio Wireless, Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Bluetooth LE Audio. Users can also access Loewe’s exclusive Mimi Sound Personalisation through the Loewe app, which tailors playback to your unique hearing profile.
Leo also includes voice assistant support, real-time AI translation, multipoint connectivity, and offers 65 hours of battery life. The headphones also have a fold-flat design and are crafted with sustainability in mind; most of the components of leo are repairable, replaceable, and upgradeable.

“With Loewe leo, we’ve created more than just headphones,” comments Aslan Khabliev, CEO & Owner at Loewe Technology. “David and Kylian embody the spirit of Travel Beyond Sound: moving through the world while being transported by the immersive, precise sound of Loewe. Their stories show how music and performance merge into a single, powerful journey.”
“Music helps me stay focused and connected to myself. With Loewe leo, I can take that feeling with me everywhere – it’s like carrying my own universe of sound,” says Mbappé.
“For me, sound is everything,” adds Guetta. “It’s how I express myself and connect with others. Loewe leo delivers sound so pure and immersive that it feels like coming home, no matter where I am.”
Elsewhere Loewe has partnered with luxury jeweller Jacob & Co. to create the leo – bespoke edition. Limited to just 10 pieces worldwide, each handcrafted headset is set with around 12 carats of genuine gemstones, and is priced in the six-figure range.
The standard leo headphones are available in midnight blue and moonlight beige. They are priced at €1,299, and are available now. Find out more via Loewe.
