The KEF LS50 Wireless is an outstanding active speaker package that offers outstanding hi-fi sound, minimal fuss and a whole lot of convenience.
Outstanding sound ; Great choice of inputs ; Easy and flexible to set up and use ; Neat design
App isn't as responsive as it could be ; Can't control physical inputs via the app
An outstanding active speaker system that brings hi-fi sound and plug-and-play convenience together for performance that can’t be topped.

An impressive package of convenience and sound quality
Breathtaking sound quality ; Tons of inputs ; Beautiful, compact design

Awards 2012 Product of the Year - Stereo Speakers. A fine way to celebrate KEF's 50th anniversary
Transparency, impressive resolution ; excellent bass for size ; fine build and finish
Demanding of partnering equipment

Expert review by (eisa.eu)
Developed from the original LS50W design, using the same Metamaterial Absorption Technology found in the LS50 Meta model, this is much more than just a pair of speakers. In fact, it's a complete wireless hi-fi system, able to play music from portable...
