These are very very good desktop computer speakers. The only recommendation I’d make is to pair it with a decent sized subwoofer to handle the lows. You can’t go wrong here if you can afford them. The app is also really nice to have and I find myself using it often. If I had to add one complaint it would be that the remote’s volume up/down and input left/right d-pad don’t always work very well where it’ll switch inputs while I’m trying to turn the volume down, etc. This is completely fixed by the app but might be annoying for some people.

Absolutely abysmal overall, can’t understand the hype.Sound was okay, connectivity was absolutely garbage, service request from KEF was slow, ultimately returned.Something that’s not noted, at least not well or that I could ever find, these REQUIRE a strong WiFi to set up. I had a LAN connection that wasn’t acceptable for set up.I believe you can use them with Bluetooth which provides a degraded signal (cool with $1,300 speakers) but without an initial WiFi setup they wont work any other way.Avoid and get something that doesn’t require WiFi.

Never imagine I'd spend $350 for a pair of sticks to hold up $1000 pair of speakers but here I am.To be fair I have heard of KEF before, but the brand never appealed to me. The brand does not cross my mind when shopping for audiophile products. And I was never in the market for book-shelf style speakers. My old Logitech/Creative 7.2, 2.0 systems, or my parent's Yamaha or Onkyo systems, never ever impressed me.The LSX II's grabbed my attention with its simplistic design. Clean lines with traditional speaker look yet somehow looks so luxurious. There are some wonky looking expensive speakers out there that try to stand out by prentending to be a UFO. But these KEF are so symmetrical, so even, straight edges with rounded corners, the driver unit square in the center. Just timeless. Classy.The blue one especially grabbed my attention, and motivated me to research further. How much money am I paying for brand and design, how much am I paying for just fluff? There are tons of options out there. Are these KEFs worth it?I remember my research was super simple and straight forward. The simplistic yet luxurious design carries over to the back. The availability of wired and wireless connectivity options are laid out perfectly clear. At the time I was dissatisfied with the SONY RA5000 ($700 single bluetooth speaker)'s horrible implementation of wifi and bluetooth. The KEFs have all the wired and wireless inputs I could want. USB C, Airplay 2, 3.5mm, and HDMI eArc. So I know they'd be perfect by my computers, or TV, or just playing out of the phone.Furthermore the LSX IIs support wireless-pairing of the two speakers and still maintain hi-res audio. And I can use wired-pairing to boost the SQ even further. How flexible and amazing are those.So after watching maybe 10-15 review videos, I pulled the trigger.Normally these big purchases I'd have buyer's remorse - I'd think, I could've gotten the Edifiers for $100 or Audioengines for $200, and save so much money, and still get pretty amazing sound!!!But happy to report, no buyer's remorse at all. I'm just happy with these. They bring me joy just by sitting there, not making a sound. And they sound wonderful. These are the type of speakers that make you dig up all your old favorite songs, songs you no longer remember you used to love, that these speakers will make you recall, and you will stay up all night sampling all of those songs, feeling like you are hearing them for the first time.And they are so easy to set up and use. I was streaming lossless music from my iphone in minutes. Also hooked up to my gaming set up and played 150 hours of Mass Effect Legendary Edition with those. And they sound epic. Watched a few favorite moves, and they were perfect.These speakers made me understand why they call good sound quality "high fidelity". They define "fidelity" for me. I love love love these.Despite that there are a couple minor things - all of which I'm perfectly happy to overlook and not care about.1) The new LSX II LT uses USB-C to connect the two speakers, adding power delivery. So now you'd only need 1 power source. This helps a ton with cable management, if you have your desk not against a wall. I wish this the LSX II have that feature. In contrast, the LSX II's need a power source for each Left and Right speaker, but you get the option to go wireless-pair, which could also lead to less cable clutter. But to me, the wired-pairing sounds pretty significantly better. So I'd prefer the new LSX II LT, if not for them looking cheaper and just lesser than the LSX II's.2) When using the S1 stand, which elevates the look even further, the power cable feel a bit short due to the built-in cable management system taking away some length. So I had to use extension cables.3) Despite their power and fidelity, they sound a bit less when powering a full room. They are best when being desk companions. However the uniq drivers do deliver sort of omni-directional awesome sound, but just a bit less than when you are sitting directly in front in the sweet spot. I believe adding a sub to the set up would solve the issue though, and so far I'm perfectly happy without a subwoofer.I really love these. I think I'll buy another pair when they are on sale to put in bedroom.

Gran sonido, excelente calidad

La calidad de los materiales es muy buena, así como el sonido. Está diseñado para espacios pequeños. Las tengo a lado de unas era 300, y para una fiesta preferiría las Sonos en par estéreo (mayor base), sin embargo, para escuchar claramente la música, las KEF son mucho mejores. Una lástima que no tengan Apple musica en su aplicación, aunque el airplay permite transmitir en HiRes. Sin duda las recomiendo y el vendedor muy rápido con adecuado embalaje.

When KEF introduced the original LSX I was glad to finally find a small speaker that filled a big void in a small room. While the sound was what I expected, it was not without flaws. The two biggest were the app used to run it and secondly that there was no USB C or HDMI input available. They are now included along with the 3.5 pin analogue and optical port. When connected via the provided ethernet cable 96/24 resolution is available.Thankfully, KEF has corrected this oversight with the LSX II. Where the original speaker required you to open two separate applications, the version II has one more detailed and logical app. KEF has also added Amazon, Deezer & Qobuz along with Tidal and Spotify for streaming purposes. Air Play2, Chromecast, Spotify Tidal Connect are also available. If I have one complaint it is that the included apps are clunky and still a pain to navigate.Set up is relatively easy. The speakers each have their own power cable. In addition there is an ethernet cable that when connected allows for hi-res reproduction. The application does allow for some sound equalization as well as adjustments for speaker placement.As to the sound, it is everything I could ask for. Detailed, with exceptional imaging. It feels like you were there in the room when the songs were recorded.. There is depth as well to the sound. Detail is so good, I find myself looking up in surprise after hearing something new on recordings I have listened to for years. Treble and mids are crisp without being so bright to overwhelm the music. Although the bass is not robust it is balanced and for a speaker of such small size punchy. If you desire more a subwoofer output is available.In summary, the KEF LSX II sound and versatility makes it one of the best purchases you can make if music means something more than just background noise.

Ive had them for about two weeks and I am quite pleased. They are amazing for almost every genre. sound like absolute butter when it comes to timbre and tonality when listening to rock/soul/R&B/disco, and provide really great imaging/sepparation/stage. Almost to an amazing extent at times given the small footprint.Despite having somewhat of an enjoyable and laidback quality they can be quite revealing, so if you have a lot of low bitrate music in your library, or listen to genres where its common to find a lot of poorly recorded or mastered tracks, theyre not gonna sound any better. e.g. I have some metal tracks that were probably recorded in a garage and some edm tracks that probably got mixed using laptop speakers in 2007, and it shows.As far as movies go, I would certainly consider them a soundbar replacement. They absolutely can do the job compared to what is on the market for 200-500 bucks, but theyre not going to do as good of a job compared to soundbars that cost the same as these KEFs. I have a similarly priced bar on one of my TVs. I think its either 5.1.2 or 7.1.2 channels with detachable satellite speakers and licensed for all of the latest 3D formats like Atmos etc. That bar certainly provides a better movie watching experience; however, that thing sound terrible when listening to music, and its not suitable for a desktop setup by any means. It all depends on your use case.Speaking of desks, I use them on my computer table and the new app provides a lot of benefit when it comes to adjusting the DSP for room correction. There are not a lot of speakers that can claim to sound good when placed on a desk/6 inches from a wall. These can.They look really great too. I was worried that the tweeter and tweeter cover/guide as going to look a bit like cheap gold plastic, but that is certainly not the case. You can tell they are aluminum at just a glance. I got the black ones and overall they look pretty good but there have been a few times where I wish I was a bit bolder and went with the blue.
