The new LEO is a pair of over-ear headphones introduced by electronics brand Loewe as its first model in this category. The headphones feature a closed-back, over-ear design intended to improve passive isolation, supported by integrated active noise control to reduce ambient sound. Touch controls are embedded into the earcups to manage playback, volume, and calls without physical buttons. The design emphasizes balance between audio performance and everyday usability rather than studio monitoring.
The bold headphones include a foldable headband and rotating earcups to support storage and portability. Battery power supports extended listening with noise control enabled, and charging is handled via USB-C. Built-in microphones allow the headphones to be used for calls and voice interaction.
