OH THANK GOD! LOL You answered my question. Im sitting here saying ok if i lose the remote or it goes bad how the hell am i supposed to turn these on and off :P
Great review! Thank you!
Thanks!
How do you connect the KEF subwoofer options to this system? This system has the mono subwoofer RCA output but their subs look to have stereo RCA inputs which is throwing me off. Can the KEF sub options be hooked up wirelessly to these speakers so it all integrates seamlessly in the app?
Good review. Merry Christmas 🎄
how are they for movie watching and gaming. Better then a soundbar
How do you connect a 2017+ Macbook Pro 15" to the LSX via an optical cable?
Did you figure this out ? Ive just purchased the lsx and looking for the best audio when connected
I just bought KEF LSX which is my first hi-fi speakers. I use it as my desktop speakers. Previously I've used Logitech Z5500 with added tweeters. I've got to say that KEF LSX does not impress me at all. It sounds muffled and flat. I'd say my previous setup which costs much much less than KEF LSX sounds better to my ears.
Is it possible that the speakers are simply more neutral than you are used to and you prefer something less neutral? For professionals neutral flat sound is usually what you want for mixing. It is a desired trait to be accurate. Most hifi speakers and especially cheap speakers have extremely exaggerated EQ with often way too much bass boost. You may prefer this, but it is not a sign of a good speaker. It gives you worse quality but you may experience it as better if you specifically like that.
@@skybellrock I don’t have professional ears but if I would to compare it with let’s say sound quality at music festivals, it seems to lack quite a bit in treble range. On the contrary, I’m quite ok with the bass although I’ve added a subwoofer to my setup to enhance it.
@@skybellrock I’m not sure how to put it into words but it doesn’t sound like music festivals when I play music festival songs. My old setup sounds exactly like how a music festival would sound like live. On KEF LSX, it sounds like it has been muffled/nerfed as if there is “no space/tight”. My old setup sounds very “open/airy”.
Also another issue, when I connect using aux, there is a loud noise sound (very loud) when I don’t play anything. The noise stops when I play something though.
whats it like compared to those martin logans?
hi! thanks for the video.. is there any posibble to parametric eq? thanks
high end soundbar or these for gaming and movies, whats better.
Thank you for this review. Could you please tell us how long are the power cables?
Do they struggle at larger rooms if you have a subwoofer?
I just ordered these to check them out. Hopefully they are sound bar killers.
Are they soundbar killers?
Hello friend!
Have you tried the dynaudio xeo 10?
How dose they compare?
What is the music bed you have under you in this video? I checked the Soundcloud link you posted, but I can't find it on there.
I guess hiking was a typo and meant to read liking. Otherwise take um up the Matterhorn.
Hey man, great video! I had a Def Tech related question. What is your opinion of the SuperCube 4000 by Def Tech? I have two of them but I hear online that I can get much better for the same price
these or Acoustic Energy AE1 Active? can't decide
Great review! Do you know if the speakers have an adjustable crossover point for the subwoofer?
Thank you
Yes they do. It's in the app.
is there a DAC built-in or USB input?
I own these, and there IS a built-in DAC, but unfortunately the USB port is for powering-out ONLY.
Using a USB, powering capable splitter wire, I am currently powering a Google Chromecast Audio (sending streaming audio to the speaker's Toslink input), and a separate, inexpensive DAC (to convert my TV's optical output to analog and send it to the speaker's mini-plug input). Unfortunately, there was only one Toslink input, therefor the need for the external DAC.
I love KEF
Great setup!
very good review
can you give me please the name or reference of your speaker stands for these kef lsx
thank's
Kanto S4. They’re horrible don’t buy them. They bounce around like they’re on springs.
ok thank's @@therealshanelee, i don't buy them
@@therealshanelee ı have a audioengine a2 if ı buy lsx wıll ı have very different music qualıty ?
Yes these are in a different class.
Does it automatically detect the source you are playing and change the input appropriately? Or do you have to wake it up or change inputs manually?
You have to change manually.
What optical cable is that?
How would you compare the LSX to the LS50W when used as a desktop, PC , speakers?
Would the LS50W be too big for a desktop? (too large sound stage and sound for a desktop)
Yeah they’re just too big. Soundstage would potentially end up behind you.
I have bought them based on your review. It’s sounds great.... but I think I need more bass. I used an old audiongine s8. But seems doesn’t blend nicely. Dou you have any suggestion of the proper subwoofer? Thanks
You need a proper sub not the audioengine. If you want to keep it all Kef and compact check out the kube 8.
Thanks a lot
Good review Shane. How did you manage to connect the speakers to your PC via the optical connection? Which optical card/adapter did you use?
Used the inbuilt optical on my pc.
A kef home theater is no joke. Almost done with mine
Awesome speakers. Make a video of your setup.
Thanks for sharing, what is the speaker stand you used for your LSX in the vid?
Kanto
Thanks for the reply, I just realised you have mentioned the stand name in your video, thx again!
Can you control the speaker volume from your pc if using an optical cable?
Yes
Do these turn off after a while? I have some that do and I miss the starts of videos as they take a few seconds to turn on. Also how do you turn them on or off?
Thanks
Yes they come with a remote and an app.
What speaker stands are they at 7:08
what other stands will you recommend for this LSX please?
Check out isoacoustics amzn.to/2SWb6Xj
Hi, any recommendation for a subwoofer for the LSX Speaker,
Kef Kube: amzn.to/2Ku2lRn
REL T: amzn.to/2XXHGgD
@@therealshanelee Do you think a separate sub would significantly improve their performance? Thank you so much forvthe review.
I was looking for a compact speaker for my desktop, but I already have an amp (NAD D3020). Is there any passive speakers like those KEF LSX?
No just the powered.
@@therealshanelee Thanks for the answer. But I meant from another brand, other than KEF (I checked their website and they only have active and passive options for the LS50)
Can you tell me what you think about the Panamax M5300 pm
I've owned 2. The USB in the front always seems to break.
You gonna check out SVS wireless?
Hadn't planned on it.
Have you tried Q Acoustic BT3? I would love to hear the comparison between this and that.
I'll have to look into that one.
ı decided to buy it and ı wıll wire it with my pc via optic output of my sound card. ı think its better than bluetooth. what do you think ?
Hardwire is better
@@therealshanelee what it mean ım sorry, my main language is not english
Yes use the optical.
Does the wobbling affect the sound at all?
If it bounces yes.
@@therealshanelee did you upgrade the stands since then?
Hi Shane
👋
Great review man. I got those connected to my Mac with the optical wire but can’t control the main volume which is annoying.
What would you suggest?
Tried with BT but especially while I edit video sometimes goes out fo sync and :(
Why not with Airplay?
how did you set them up to your computer? wired AUX?
Optical
@@therealshanelee You have an optical out on your computer or do you use the headphone jack? Thanks so much for the reply
When connected to the tv by optical, can the volume be controlled by the tv remote?
No. You use either the app or remote.
ı have a pc, can ı use wireless to contact with kef lsx ? ı dont have a googlecast audio should ı buy ?
Yes use the optical or 3.5mm. That's how I set it up in the video.
@@therealshanelee ıf ı can contact my pc to the kef lsx with wireless and play my winamp songs, ı wıll buy thıs product
@@therealshanelee But how do you stream your PC's music collection to the Chromecast Audio? And while still somewhat available online, I believe the Chromecast Audio has been discontinued. Let me know if I'm wrong about that.
They where nice til I saw the price on Amazon..
Try svs wireless speakers
These are better.
"KEF just dropped the smaller version..."
Sorry but, why did they drop them, are they supposed to be shock-resistant?
Men the start. Almost go a heart attack. Please be carfull with volume.
And what about the weeky highs... is that something u can live with. It's like a photography of what it's like in real life, you know for just for reading purpose.
Speaking of Shadowboxer, what in the hell happened to Fiona Apple?? I thought for sure she would become a superstar of my generation (the 90s).
Thought the same thing.
These are nice speakers but I wish they had a cheaper version without all the expensive tech added.
Very difficult to hear the audio on this video.
Pay once a month for to stop advertising
Not sure what that means.
review without soundcheck, wow...
When I listen to speakers played back through my phone. Guess what. It sounds like my phone. Hence I didn't play any music.
@@therealshanelee Understand your viewpoint. But it's not magic to record with a binaural microphon and listen with headphones. But it's ok, the review is good, even without a meaningful soundcheck. everything is ok. ;)
Same idea applies to headphones. If I listen through a pair of airpods. Guess what. It sounds like my airpods. But yes a binaural recording sounds cool. I'll give you that.
sadly my experience of these was far less happy... after losing a whole afternoon of my life they refused to make any sound via the wifi connection, and only out of the slave when connected via 3.5 jack to my computer... buyers beware! and read a few of the less positive reviews before you spend your cash!
Same - definitely not.always a 5 minute setup.I suspect they need a bit more time than you'd expect to integrate into the network. Bluetooth connection to mac and pc is c#*p - known Win 10 problems with bt but have now got them to play PC audio over bt - except RUclips audio doesn't work. not looked into mac audio yet.
Not tried opt or aux yet.
Sound quality - first listen was very disappointing - complete lack of bass to me (Note - don't use Mr Big as the first track on new speakers 😮 I'm not a bass head but like to hear it) Have played them for a couple of days now and sound is getting better, including the lows, and my ears are tuning in. Still early though. 30 days to return them and I haven't made up my mind yet. Currently think it's @60/40 that I'll keep them.
Seems to me that wireless speakers should have no need for wires.
WHY ???? would anyone spend a £1000 on a pair of desktop speakers?? £500 tops I’d say... for a PC you need only spend £200 to get a good sound AND if you need TV speakers a SONOS Beam is more than adequate.
I’ve heard these speakers and they sound thin and light although acoustically detailed, not very listenable. Definitely need a subwoofer for full immersive sound.
Tooooooo many other options at this price!!
Rumsky when connect to tv does tv control the speakers
Expensive speakers with poor quality compressed sound....brilliant marketing! Audiophiles likely spending $thousands to get an amazing 48k bit! Biggest mistake is not even Bluetooth 5.0....MUAHAHAHAHAHAHa...you might as well buy Bozo, I mean Bose.... LMAO!
If you fed it with FLAC 96/24 lossless hi-res stuff, then you won't get the compressed rubbish MP3. When you can have FLAC 96/24 why do you even want to listen to any rubbish Bluetooth stuff?
