► KEF LS50 WIRELESS REVIEW
For our second KEF review, we bring you a KEF bluetooth speaker review! The LS50 Wireless II speakers are powered, bluetooth enabled and wireless. The question is are they as good or better than the LS50 Metas? This ultimately may depend on how you feel about a neutral sounding speaker. The good thing is that if you are looking for an easy hifi & home theater speaker, the LS50 2 is as reliable as they come.

So far I’m a Kanto guy, unless the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 count. The Klipsch have always been computer speaker because of the lack of connection options but if Klipsch ever just updated that area and left the rest alone, they would have a monster powered speaker offering that has always just ROARED! Until then the Kantos 4’s are in my budgetary sweet spot.
@@SeanVedell The Kanto speaker line, especially the YU line, represent insane value for money. So good!
My fave but not yet reviewed is the Harmon citation towers. Looks and able to be integrated with other citation satellites.
@@creativeslink Those Citation speakers do look interesting, though I have not seen them around so they may be a bit of cult hit 🤷♂️
@@andrewrobinsonreviews I discovered the 2’s through a guy at work. We had them on our desks but an office doesn’t really let you test a speaker. As soon as we started working from home we both upgraded. Me to the 4’s and him to the 6’s. I don’t think either of us will ever be able to go back to the office!! Hey, where’d the usual cabinet go? Did your TV finally squeeze it out?
Very excited to see you guys cross the 200k mark! Keep up the amazing work, you’re my favorite to watch and have helped me along my audio journey. Cheers to 200!
Thanks so much!
Love your set up look. Finally someone who appreciates lifestyle and design than just audiophile sound. So tired of looking at expensive setups being showcased in some garage with extra speakers and components all over the place. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you so much @ID Chan. We try and show folks how you can live WITH hifi opposed to living around or surrounded by hifi.
Just received the LS50 wireless ll less than a week.
I absolutely love it. I like the one box solution and it really performs well.
That's great! So happy to know this.
Big fan of your reviews and how well produced your videos are! Kef has really become a strong contender for my next home theater. Really hope to see more Kef reviews from you guys in the future!
I’ve heard the KEF Blade speakers in a show room. Granted the show room was the worst for that quality of a speaker but the bass was the most articulate deep bass I’ve ever experienced in any speaker and made me stay for hours listening to song after song.
+1 for KEF R series reviews! Great work as always
Happy to give them a listen if KEF wants to send a pair our way!
Man, I've been looking for this review for a while!!
Hope it was worth the wait! Thanks for joining us!
I did. You guys always have great reviews. Now the KEF's ls50w II are a great option for someone looking for simplicity and not looking to spend money on seperate components and experimenting trying to find the perfect synergy. But, if you are someone that is looking to put together a badass hifi system, and is willing to spend a little time and money, the KEF Meta's are a GREAT speaker. I heard them fresh out of the box with a Rodgers tube amplifier, no subs, not broken in, and their sound was truly amazing. KEF overall produces very good quality audio components and I think anyone with a pair of LS50 metas or wireless II have a speaker thats truly remarkable.
THANKYOU!!! Been looking forward to this!!!
I am using KEF LSX. I love it. I will get KEF Wireless 2 soon. Beside that, I like your video & I subscribed it.
Not sure if u read comments of older videos later, but this speakers gets firmware updates too! which possibly also increases the streaming and sound quality. I've had this with Sonos, which the Arc's latest update really changed the sound in a positive way. And I noticed in the release notes of the ls50w2 they also do these kinds of updates.
Amazing speakers. Great for someone like me that has a smaller living room, small child, and can't fit a ton of components. Expensive, but, there are others less expensive speakers that can get the job done almost as good. I've never considered powered speakers for me, but, you convinced me that they can be good. Thx, and all the best to you and Kristi.
Adam T5V £135 each are near field monitors but are liked as audiophile speakers. Active speakers are very different to just a powered speaker. Kef LS50 and B&W Formation Duo are active DSP speakers.
Ls50 wireless 2 and kc62 is my dream minimalist setup! ❤️
If I already have a Powernode 2i and RSL Speedwoofer 10s, would you recommend getting the LS50 Meta or selling the Powernode and buying the LS50 Wireless II? Subjectivity will of course affect this decision, but just wanted to get your thoughts.
love the Kristy conversations - nice touch
Used to have KEF Ref 107 (known as Daleks) way long ago. Passive but amazing. Built like a tank, weigh a ton. See pictures just for fun last sold 20yrs +
As a owner of a pair of KEF R3s, I can say personally I know the R Series! I have a buddy that works at KEF. I was back and forth between R3s and R5s. Through his guidance, I went with R3 and I haven't looked back. That being said, I had a chance to listen to the Blades 2 and a few of the Reference series. I can not describe in words the sound all of those speakers produced. I actually had dinner with a couple of the KEF guys last night and FINALLY heard the KC62. Little guy packs a serious punch! I'm hoping to visit their NJ movie theater soon made up of nothing but R Series CI speakers! Great video!
Love my LS50 WII’s! They sound fantastic in my room. Thanks for the review!
Very very interesting take from Kristy focusing on how much the "setup" influences sound eventually on passive speakers, and the fact that you are able to create your sound from them. With powered you get what you get, which can be a good thing and limiting also.
💯
Happy Sunday morning Andrew and Kristi. The LS50W II will find a home in many systems and they fill a need for those who wants a “do it all “ speaker. Wireless is going to be the future for many audiophiles, but it is not there yet. As mentioned the sound is the sound. With passive speakers along with the right gear will undoubtedly sound better. The one advantage of wireless is with updates to the speaker’s software. The sound signature can be tweaked by the manufacturer as Klipsch did with the Fives. One thing I will say… the room setup in this video was awesome. Those Kef’s looked fantastic along with the furniture in the space. Kudos to you and Kristi for great production work.
Happy Sunday to you, Brian. Thank you so much for hanging out with us today!
Loved this video Andrew & Kristi, you gotta get more KEF gear for review. I'm lucky enough to have heard Blade's and they are amazing!! I have a 7.1 set up using KEF R series, R700, R500, R100, R200c and R400b sub with Yamaha RX-A3080 and Rotel Rb1552mkii power amp. Love it
Love your reviews!
Question for you, is the Formation Duo still significantly better than the LS50s if you hook up a subwoofer to the KEFs?
Love the channel and learning something new about audio each upload.
Thank you!
That's awesome. Thank you!
I’m with Christy (hope I spelled that right). I’m just starting to listen to the Kef LS50 Wireless II now. For me the simplicity demanded a serious listen, but the reality is if they don’t sound right the alternative will be separates. I wasn’t shopping for all-in-one. It’s always about the sound and there really isn’t anything that directly compares so yeah I think it perfectly reasonable to compare these with some other stack.
Thanks! I am A/V full ATMOS oriented so trying to integrate a setup with powered is over the line of possible. I had the Q-towers and they were great for orchestral works but I found the rock and roll a bit set back.
This is one honest n accurate review. It’s just a great speaker for its price. Not a very resolving or refined speaker but to get that one needs to spend quite a bit more.
I would love these speakers for say the living room. Hook them up a sub and to the TV. It’s good enough to enjoy music or a simple HT system.
By the way, the satin finish is just lovely and they look great with the S2 stands.
Love the art work in the background. Just bought the boy blowing bubble painting. Thanks!.........oh ya great review!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wireless II is here everyone is forgotten the 1.. Still in love with the one..
Hi, can you share to us what amplifier did you use with the metas to get the sound she is talking about? im looking forward yo buy an audio set and i have the question if powered or passive w/amp, thx!!
Thanks for the great review. Question: I have a Marantz 8015; could I connect a pair of these KEFs to the pre-outs of the front channel (to the aux-in on the KEFs), so I have these speakers as a high end front channel for home cinema and could also connect to them wirelessly?
Yes, the same thing about lack of openness around the music happens with the Klipsch active tower speakers when compared to their reference 8000s
I appreciate you pronouncing Porsche correctly, lol.
Always love your reviews, you both have a refreshing perspective on Hifi and make us aware of your preferences and biases which I think makes your reviews more trustworthy than others.
Thank you so much. We do our best to just let you know what we thought of the product given how we live and we try and make it approachable for everyday people as well as more die hard enthusiasts.
Love your reviews, can't wait to try these out.
Great review, just the thing I was researching. I’ve decided to resume my audiophile hobby after a gap of 15 years due to family reasons, I don’t fancy going back in time to return to tube amps etc etc and and am rather keen to explore new avenues & the latest advancements such as these wireless ii powered speakers system. It seems to tick most of the boxes for me and besides I never enjoyed all that spaghetti hanging out the back. So thanks for the tips.
I love your speaker stands... Went to the link to check out, SOLD OUT!!! Man...
Can you comment on the 3.5mm jack of the LS50W II series when connecting to turntable? I have the first generation and quite happy with the RCA port. With the 3.5mm on the new models, does the sound will be affected as from what I know, 3.5mm is worse compare to RCA?
Great Reviews. I'm fairly new to the channel and I love your reviews. Is there a way to use them as part of a 5.1 Home Theatre setup? (and keep using them as a stereo streaming speakers) I assume if the AVR has pre outs, it can, right?
I’m intrigued by the kef R11…would be good,to hear your impressions. Once again…another great feature…thank you.
Hi guys. Want to thank you for your show. I look forward to seeing the latest to bolster my knowledge. Compared to all of you out there, I feel very amateurish. Not into the techno lingo stuff, but at some point I know they are a valuable resource. I just know I like what I hear....and what I don't. Ibdont have the opportunity to go and experience all of these units out there, So I count on you for some guidance. Andrew and Kristi's diffetent perspectives is must see TV, as far as I'm concerned. Great job!
Great review as always. Really like your style and sensibility on hifi
How does this compare with Sony Ht A9 ? This will help me makeup my mind , I watch movies and listen to music
Great review! All the better for having multiple perspectives. Great job!
Thanks for watching until the end!
I know this is an old post. But from an app and sound perspective, what reasons do I have to upgrade from version one to two?
Anyone knows about Magnat monitor reference 2a powered speakers.
Are they good for movies for a 2.0 set up in a small living room?
Or they sound very 'flat' so better for studio monitors?
Hello,
The lack of sparkle in the highs - Because the tonality is neutral / not bright?
Thank in advance
Very good review. I have a question. I run my Audio Technica LP-120XUSB turntable in my man room but would like to hear it in the house without having to crank up the sound out of my room. Does a wireless speaker work? Also if you don’t mind me asking what type of mic do you use for your videos so clear! Thank You
What amp did you successfully pair with the Metas? I’ve tried a couple of different class-D amps and it’s no good.
This is the first speaker you reviewed I have! I got a pair in the bedroom on 2 Rel T/7i subs
I have been waiting for your review of these for a while and as usual, you didn’t disappoint. I certainly agree with your description of the sound and I was initially a little disappointed by the neutrality. I have had them at home for a month now and certainly appreciate them as an all round package. I got off the high end Merry go round a couple of years ago and have been looking for a good looking all in one solution with good quality sound and I feel that these fit the bill as they also fit perfectly in to the aesthetics of my living room. Thanks for producing quality and engaging reviews.
Thank you for tuning in! So glad you found the review helpful. I LOVE these speakers for the simplicity and miss them already for that reason.
You are right... removing all imperfections from the music can make it one dimensional.
I think its all what you like and nothing else.
You two are pretty good at reviewing tech i like listening to you. Keep doing what you do and be blessed overall.
hey andrew. i wonder how this sound compare to 2 devialet phantom ii 95db. they’re almost the same price
Listened to the Metas & the 2's and decided on the Metas in the end.
The perfect speaker for me.
Enjoyed the review, thanks.
What ultimately swayed you to get the Metas? Thanks for watching!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews in the end I didn't want my electronics inside the speaker and felt I would be better served with separates.
Added the Rotel RA-1572 and it works well for me.
Hola Andrew, what cd players do you recommended with KEF Wireless? Gracias
What speakers stands are being used in the video, please?!
Loved the review. Hope you have fun with the KEF Blades! Polite question: you do realise just how large and heavy they are and that a team of strong men will be needed for installation? Your doors and door frames might suffer a bit getting the Blades in and out.
What would you say has been tue best sounding bookshelf speaker?
Always interesting reviews. I have them. Love them for simplicity. Agree with the clinical critic. It's a shame that we can't have some DSP to personalize the sound. I would have liked to hear more about the sub pairing because I was wondering if there was any point getting a matching kc62 in a 20m2 living room. what are your thoughts?
This is awesome, I’m super interested in powered speakers, I think allowing yourself to let go of the idea that a “real” system consists of passive speakers, an amp, and an outboard source is really exciting
I find it very exciting and still believe it is the future 100%. Thanks for watching!
Can I ask you a question? Hope so😜. Seen you beolab 28 and you mentioned Nef ls50. If you should choose one of those, what would you choose?
Ps very good presentation.
Thanks for the market comparisons !!!!
i have the R41pm's (with a sub) and the 5's from klipsch. 41's are at my desktop and the 5's are in the living room 16x16 ish on some bookshelf's from ikea. i talked my cousin into buying the R51pm's. i run my 41's through a cambridge dac. otherwise everything else is tos link or eArc from a tv with only bluetooth ever reachin them. i think powered is the future too. the amount of options it solves for is too much to disagree with. people still want pug in play. personally ill always be separates until I die lol. cost is my only inhibitor to that. great video and congrats on 200k and to another 800k!
Glad you finally got these in! They seem versatile and incredibly professional, but I have always heard that the sound is divisive, and you definitely confirmed that. I think you finally steered me away from the dream of one day owning a pair of KEFs (in a good way), but I wouldn't be opposed to hearing them sometime.
You should definitely listen to them for yourself!
Every time I look at these speakers there's a battle within me. So beautiful. So expensive. But so beautiful. Stop it, so expensive!
I'm curious as to what firmware you were running on your review sample. Firmware 1.7 sounded absolutely amazing in every way. Once the speakers auto updated to 1.8 a good deal of the magic was lost. The soundstage isn't as wide or deep, and the sense of air around instruments, particularly drums, was dialed way back. Leading edge transients were also softened. I even tried out a second pair, but they suffered the same exact fate. I tried contacting KEF support, but they made it clear to me that their software vetting process is infallible, and thus couldn't possibly be the cause of the problem I am having.
OMG I'd love to see what you think of the KEF Blades... they're a gorgeous looking speaker and I think would really suit your style tastes! 😁
At 16:30. Wow, your praise of RBH speakers (which I've never heard of) has me very interested. Are they Roon Ready?
Especially appreciated the talk afterwards. I'm sceptical about the value proposition of the "smart" functionality and connectivity part of the Wireless II. Streaming sources are so cheap and easy to come by, whether through used chromecast audio's or very user friendly Raspberry Pi solutions (e.g. Volumio offers Tidal connect). Why depend on KEFs in-house apps and electronics? Same for DACs, with the excellent value Chifi products. If you spend €2500, sound is a way more important issue than connectivity. In this sense the Wireless II vs. Meta passive comparison is very valuable.
It's also a terrifying prospect to me that you might encounter software bugs and the like, just to listen to your hifi.
Your reviews are helpful, thank you! Would be awesome if you could also get in the KC62 sub and see how that works with these speakers
Thank you for a honest review, and one of the first II's review that is not entirely overwhelmingly positive. Design wise, I would recommend you trying the KEF R3 (or a tower version). I've heard they should work really well for both HiFi and cinema.
Hi do you suggest anything other than a subwoofer to increase the sound quality on this? Would love to know. Thanks.
I think a lot of questions arise when you consider the Wireless IIs which have an “arguably ideal” amp pairing, versus the Metas where some budgets might have an amp like the AXR 100 or a NAIM Uniti Atom - comparatively the Metas could be a lot more or a little less. Do you or Kristi have an opinion on using Metas with a “budget amp” versus the Wireless IIs?
You didn't specify what issues exactly you had with Oberons. Was it connection between hub and speakers or hub to router?
Hi Andrew, thanks for the review. I know you can’t compare active with passive speakers but in terms of sound the WA 2 compared to the Sonus Faber Lumina 2, which would you prefer in terms of sound?
The Lumina IIs are much more engaging!
Andrew please review the left q350 and q550s would really love to know what you think of there more entry level speakers.
Hi Andrew and Chrissy (I hope i spelled that right), can you guys do a review of an "on-wall" speaker? I think that thin profile speakers mounted on the wall is just the most beautiful way to go, and practical (with kids). Are there any major sacrifices with those on-walls offered by KEF, Klipsch, Dali, etc? I'd be willing to pay significantly more for on-walls with equal sound quality, so as to avoid the pain of breaking them, or breaking my shins, as the years go by. Also, a video on the most beautiful/artistic speaker systems out there in general, would be great too. Digital Trends did a great video about a Portland-based artistic speaker series. I feel like this genre is right down your alley. Thanks for all your amazing content.
Would you go for the LS50 Wireless over the ii for studio production? I mean on paper the lather destroys the first but I already own some Wireless hooked with an Kube10b (which I will replace in time) & it sounds pretty damn clean & vibrant in my relatively large room (20x12’) . And I'm not one of those neutral guys, so I don't expect my system to be to totally flat. Not to much colours nether…thats why I love those speakers but not the 10b lol. #andrew
Would be nice if you reviewed KEF LS60.
Really enjoyed your review. Thanks. Please review the ifi aurora, if you can get your hands on it.
Am not sure if ppl will scoff … but would love to know your opinion on the sound quality of the original HomePod used as home theater (2 paired)
Just a random questions I would love to get a pair of these but out of the budget, what is the best Bluetooth Powered bookshelf’s speakers you can or would recommend at the 400 or 500 dollar mark. Thank you !
Sonos five.
For some reason I’d really like to see a powered tower version of those ls50 wireless speakers… like an easy setup for those who want towers without the the hassle of 2 or 3 other boxes in a cabinet…
Hello Sir. I am from Swiss. I have a question. I have bose lifestyle 650. But I like to buy Kef ls50 wireless. which one is best for listening Music . I expect your Advice. Please Sir.
Hi Guys. Thanks for the great review. Do you mind specifying which RBH speakers you were reffering to? I would love to see a review on them
Do we know which these are?
The sound you describe sounds similiar to monitors, and as I was writing that you said it!
Love the reviews by the both of you! Have you reviewed Sonos Era yet? Thx!
I have been waiting for this review since I first saw the LS50 Wireless II speakers in the background. Just because of Kristi's take on Meta video six months ago "I think that they may not get those back" When Kristi was talking about powered Wireless II speakers :D
Hopefully you enjoyed this one!
@@KristiWright I sure did. Great review!
Has anyone here tried connecting a vintage turntable to the W2s? I see they removed the orca and have a 3.5 that has to be adapted. How does it sound? Is it inconvenient?
Hi, would you consider these the best bookshelf speakers to get right now? Better than the B&W 606 anniversary edition.
Andrew didn't like the B&W 600 series one little bit so these are the last speakers that he'd recommend...
I would love if you could review the Blade 2 speakers. I think that would be a fun review to watch!! Crossing fingers that will happen at some point. As for powered speakers I'm bias since I have LS50 meta, and would say the LS50 WII speakers.
I would like to see podcast style videos where you and Cristie sit down and discuss certain audio products or topics. Something similar to what the AEC guys do.
Thank you for this review. I see you are using Monitor Audio Bronze 100. What would be the best integrated music amp for them?
The Rotel we recently reviewed would be a good pairing - bit.ly/3wAcZgx. Be sure to check out our review of the Bronze 100 speakers if you haven't already. You'll find a list of everything we used to test them in the description.
For the watching movie perspective, could you compare this speakers without a sub to B&O Beosound Stage? Which one should you choose?
I would choose the Stage if I knew the bulk of my use was HT based. Actually I would take the Stage for music too. Sure the LS50 Wireless II does true stereo imaging etc., but I prefer the overall tone of the Stage to that of the IIs.
I have noticed KEF speakers depreciate a lot more than B&W and others in the class, making them an excellent value in the used market.
Any way to buy 5 LS wireless II to make a 5.1 system?
Since Andrew brought up powered hifi speakers. Anyone here using powered speakers, HiFi or Studio oriented monitors (ADAM, GENELEC, FOCAL etc), for both guitar playing and Audiophile purposes? If yes which brand do you recommend and how do they perform on those two functions? Pros cons?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
Something incredibly cool about these is if you're using them with a Mac that has Apple Silicon, the app works on your computer giving you 100% control at your fingertips without having to grab your phone or use the cheap remote.
You mean there is a Kef app for Mac? I just use the Qobuz app on my Mac
@@theLEGOguy22 If you have an Intel Mac: No.
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac: Yes.
Hi Andrew! Can you tell me what speaker stands are you using? I really like them. They look great with the LS50. Thank you in advance.
Hi Gerardo Fontanez, You'll find that information in the description box just below the video's title. Thanks for watching!
Great review. I'd like to see you go back to the Klipsch The Fives, but the Mclaren version
I want the speakers to be configurable to MY personality. So in that manner I don't want the speakers to have its own personality, does that make sense? So... clinical is good. Thanks for the review!
