The most noticeable thing in terms of actually using the speakers day to day is that the ARC port makes them finally usable with your TV’s clicker. No matter how much you spend on speakers, they won't sound good in a bad room. You can get relatively inexpensive acoustic panels online or build them yourself, and they’ll make a world of difference when it comes to actually experiencing what these speakers are capable of.

I preferred them a bit wider apart than closer together, but when moving them between my widely spaced speaker stands and 80-inch TV stand, the sound stage didn’t suffer as dramatically as it does with other speakers. One thing I found surprising was how placement-agnostic the speakers were. I can hear exactly where each of Dacus' vocal harmonies is sitting in the sound, the perfect edge the engineer got from the signal ever so slightly distorting when she sings her loudest. On the KEFs, the slow addition of layers and instruments pulls me through the song, as though I'm able to see each aspect of the music through a sharp, clear lens. I've become obsessed with Lucy Dacus' new track “Hot & Heavy, ” which builds from synthy pads to full-fledged dance rock over the first minute. Each element of the music you're listening to occupies an almost three-dimensional place in the sound, allowing you to easily dart focus between them or to hear more clearly how they combine into the whole. The depth and width of the sound stage is significantly improved, thanks to that lower distortion down low. They might look the same as their predecessors, but they absolutely sound better. Turn on the KEF LS50 Wireless II and you are greeted by the most immersive, distortion-free sound you've probably ever heard from speakers this size. The results are less complicated to understand than the technology itself. The maze-like structures of this material inside each speaker aren’t easy to design it took a two-year research project with a company called Acoustic Metamaterials Group for the company to develop. The new speakers feature what the company calls Metamaterial Absorption Technology, which according to KEF, allows the speakers to absorb up to 60 percent of the distortion-causing energy that’s usually reflected back into the speaker cabinet. Under the hood, the company’s engineers have spent a significant amount of time ensuring that the LS50 Wireless II heartily outperform the original KEF wireless model that came out several years ago. Controls for all of the above can be adjusted with the included small black remote, or by handling the backlit touch controls on the top of the right speaker.

For fully wireless operation, you can pair a PC or phone with them using Bluetooth, or add them to your Wi-Fi network for AirPlay, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, or Roon streaming. You’ll find an optical input, a coaxial cable jack, a 3.5-mm mini-jack, and even an HDMI ARC port for TV-a rare feature that makes them excellent for placement in a living room on either side of a screen. Plug them into the wall, and to each other, and there are no external amps required.Įven without dedicated outboard hardware, the back of the right speaker has a smorgasbord of inputs. Unlike the passive LS50 Meta speakers, which require a stereo amp to provide the juice, the LS50 Wireless II speakers are self-powered. You can get them in many colors, but my review units came in a classy matte black with copper accents. They’re rounded rectangles with a curved front that showcases the gorgeous drivers. Never fear, nerds: The new version of the LS50 looks the same as the old one.
