Amazing speakers that aren't worth the original MSRP

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019

These speakers are wonderful, l'm really enjoying them, but l TOTALLY would not pay $500 for them. l bought them for $200 and l think that price fits the bill pretty fairly. The look great and have a fair bit of weight to them, but l wouldn't recommend using them for anything other than desktop speakers/casual listening through Bluetooth.

Coming from relatively cheap $60 Logitech speakers, these speakers are wonderful and sound very clear, but l'm no audiophile. lf you find yourself looking for decent desktop speakers for around ~$200, l would say these are a very solid choice!

Don't buy unless you want to be turning them back on all the time

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2021

Sound: Really good. Look: Really good. Usability: Awful.
I can't recommend this product to anyone unless KEF decides to release the firmware to eliminate the auto-off feature. The firmware apparently exits but can't find it anywhere. The speakers will turn off after 10 min of not using them. In my case, they turn off sometimes after opening chrome or other soft which implies I have to be constantly turning them back on. After 1 year, it's really annoying. I wrote a script to ping the speaker every 9 min to try and keep them on. It works, kind of, sometimes. This shouldn't be this hard, just buy another speaker.

Problems on Mac

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016

While the sound quality is good, there are some issues with these speakers which led me to require help from their support, two contact attempts later and I have received not a word in response other than the generic confirmation of contact. These speakers switch themselves off after some time as others have mentioned, On a Mac this causes the device to disappear from settings, and the internal speaker to be used - when the speakers are switched back on - you need to go back into settings and switch over to them. Imagine doing that every time you want sound. I've found that with certain Apps (Such as chrome browser) once they power off, they don't in fact return even when they are selected as the sound output - the only way to fix this is to close down your browser and restart it. Its been 4 weeks now - not a word on this from Kef. Really disappointed on such an expensive product.

As desktop speakers these do a great job

KEF do make some wonderful speakers and these although small in dimension do come over as weighty in mass and sound. Easy to set up, took eye two minutes from unpacking and they are well designed. Sizewise the sound is more than ample, as always give them time to settle down a little and loosen up. I would not use them beside a TV to replace a soundbar but in a smaller room they will do an adequate job. Overall a solid 4 stars.

best bluetooth speakers

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

I replaced both a kanto syd and a bose soundtouch 20 and then a XEO 2 with 2 different sets of the egg. For a small to medium size room these are incredible. Crisp- clear sound- tight bass- great mids and highs. I play from my Itunes music library as well as Pandora and Amazon Music- all from my I phone. The KEF works with the AAC codec that Apple uses. Have never had a drop. The XEO2's were twice the price with no noticable diference in the sound.
The XEO's stopped working right after a week . The Eggs- no problem. I will preface this by saying I bought both my black and then white pair while they were on sale for $ 199. Unveliveable at that price

I don't know why such a great speaker has such a stupid problem

Bluetooth is the major flaw, it can be connected by anyone as one reviewer already mentioned. I don't know why such a great speaker has such a stupid problem.

What real sound sounds like.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016

These may be the nicest speakers you can hook directly up to an Echo Dot. This is for sound when you know what real instruments sound like. A piano sounds only like a piano. A violin is just sweet and natural. So this is a speaker for people who like acoustic music. It's not a boomy glossy cinema boom box. It makes you smile for the joy of music made of wood and brass and played by human beings. Neutral and sweet. It's. Not hugely loud but it will fill a medium size room. Hook a good subwoofer up and you'll have music that will just swell your heart. So it's all about what you want and what you think is music. The only improvement would be a way to adjust the treble and bass. But by itself it's just sweet.

Ok sound at best

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020

Cool design but very bland sound. The stereo imaging is nice, but there is really nothing else exceptional about the sound from these.

I only ran them through usb as well. 16 bit and 24 bit audio...

For this price, KEF can do better.
