Hey Chaps! I’m an idiot, you can change input with the left/right buttons on controller 😅
How about KEF LS50 Meta Wireless?🤚
Phew!! This was going to be a deal breaker for me! Thanks for clarifying!
hey tech , i had to return the original version as i found it too fatiguing at the high end..did they adjust that wih the II's?
Thanks. That's exactly what I'm going to do
These speakers are a good introduction for people searching for a much better audio quality than what they experianced up to now for small area in the room. The problem is, the price is too high and not alot of people can afford it. At least they should lower the price for the generic colors: black/white to be more accessible.
Alot of people can afford them.
Indeed change input with remote controller left/right button ..shows different colors for input.
do they connect to Apple? My Bose soundbar volume is controlled through my Apple TV remote. I would like these to replace my Bose soundbar but want to make sure my ease of use is going to be the same. THANKS!
I have kef q1 speakers I bought a really nice BK xls 200 sub the other week and also a big Velodyne EQ-Max 12 I like the XLS 200 most though.
I love my oled tv as my monitor and my Sonos Arc (upgraded to 5.1) for my sound setup. Great for pc use and movie watching. 2.1 is still 2.1 at the end of the day and kef can’t change that.
$1k for a soundbar lmaoo tf
I've tried the sonos arc compared to my q950 it's not even comparable the kefs sound soo much better. This was a test done on movies not music where the sonos should have the advantage
Yet my 3.1 sound system is several fold better sounding lol. Something that blows average people away as they’ve never heard anything close to higher end (Sonos at its best is lower mid range sound quality). But I guess you’d expect that being my 3 speakers, sub, and receiver used to cost $6700 before inflation and price jacking. Now the new models of my things skyrocketed to $8600 msrp (which really isn’t a justified increase).
Could you do review for New!SteelSeries - Arena 7 2.1 Bluetooth Gaming Speakers with RGB Lighting (3 Piece) - Black. Thank you
I took the Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system and upgraded the speakers with B&W M1 satellite speakers
I hope you got the right ohmage new satellites.
Looking at these speakers, then my finances, they are going to be just a figment of my imagination! Oh! well, perhaps one day……..
Please compare to klipsch sevens. Why? Same price.
Tech RUclipsr "I made a massive awesome upgrade with my TV/PC/Notebook/speaker!"
Also: Thanks xyz for sponsor this video and sending me this stuff for free! I don´t get paid by them!! 😂
Sure sure, free adv for them but still, a regular person could never keep up with these "upgrades" if they need to pay for everything (Daddy paying doesn´t coun´t as sponsor)
Time to become a tech youtuber.
You're always this much fun, aren't you? The whole world is out to "trick" you and you're not going to let it happen, dammit.
Save plenty of $$ and nip down to the local audio shop and but an amp and a decent set of speakers, and the system can grow with you; you'll thank me later.
I have the kef ls50 wireless ii and I used to have the R3. KEF is the most overrated brand ever.
£1200?! Think I'll just skip to the next video
Rich problems bro
Same nere, next video.
Fair enough haha
Fair enough but you know Kef right?
Lol you will get dolby soundbar in this price
I'm using the KEF LSX I for over three years now and I still love the sound quality and especially the design. I think they are the best (compact) speakers for any desk setup. There's no reason for me to upgrade though.
E-arc isn't needed for a two channel setup. Anything claiming to do Atmos/surround sound with two speakers is a gimmick😅.
Unless you're working with psychoacoustics in which case it's perfectly doable, but very few companies know how to do it properly.
1200? You could buy a receiver and full sized 5.1 speakers for that
Eh, not really? Just my receiver was 1300 and lets not talk about the speakers.... but these are too pricy for what they are, could have maybe gotten some actual studio monitors for that with bigger drivers or something. And it doesnt have to be wireless thats whats making them even more expensive, completely unnecessary.
I'm listening at this video in my £40 Logitech speakers, after the sound already went trough the least ideal conditions of procesing and recording and thinking. "I'm not sure if they sound that good". 🧐 only because I can't afford them but deep down knowing I would absolutely love them. great content chap!.
Yep - plastic fantastic Logitech garbage - gotta' love 'em.
They don't worth even close to 1200!!! For 1200 you can get KEF Q150 + decent amplifier + subwoofer, that will destroy them completely.
Nice review. theses are great bookshelf speakers, lacking some bass in my view but depends on what you intend to use them for or generally listen to.
I have Bose companion 20 and they are more than enough for 250 euros. Why pay so much for pc speakers it’s insane.
It depends what you use your PC speakers for. The higher the sound quality, the deeper the immersion. Just like monitor quality or game settings.
I like the different colors. Only the black would really go with my decor, though, and it would match my depressed mood after spending so much money.
I have the LS50 Meta speakers so know these will sound very good. But anyone who would spend £1200 on these will probably have no issue buying the LS50 Wireless II’s for £2000. They should have aimed to target the £800 price point to rival high end sound bars like Sonos.
These are in a difference league to sonos
Price is not always the issue. Definite size difference between the LS50 Wireless II and LSX. The latter works much better imo for desktop setups.
Wish they had a high-end wireless component system (at least 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos) without needing a separate receiver. Besides less cable clutter, that system would be far superior to the best soundbars.
Seems a bit pricy for small desktop speakers
are they compared to Audio Monitors? or just regular speakers? by the price they are pretty close to Studio Audio Monitors...
Excellent choice!I have the Edifier G5000 cause i dont have the money for Kef's but they are very good for their price.
please do you know usb type c in video ?. i want to buy one 1 type c for kef lsx 2. thanks so much
type c to type c ? type c to usb 2.0 ?
Beautiful to look at, but very expensive. Audio Pro C20 deliver incredible bass compared to these, I’ve heard both, two of them for a stereo setup will be sub £1k.
So, in other countries, they have the ked egg x, which is the same driver, in an egg shaped shell, with all the same features. Its like 300$ us. Only problem? China/singapore/taiwan/korea are the only people that get it.
How does this compare to something like the audioengine A2+? Is the sound really that much better?
Your videos are so helpful & entertaining. Plus it helps that you're handsome too! 🌸
these unfortunately cannot justify the price tag. If you are into audiophile, do not get scared of having cables for best audio experience. KEF Q150, Elac Debut 5.2, JBL Stage A130 or Sony SSCS5 are great budget speakers around 150 to 350 plus 100 for an amp would be pleasing your ears no doubt.
Now I need to compare some of this cheaper systems to my Vifa Copenhagen 2.0 because it sounds better than everything I've tried so far sounds worse (even the pair of Dali Opticon 5s).
Can you use these without an internet connection? They will have wifi/network
This is painful without a Sub
Loa kef lsx nghe cũng ổn nhưng đã nổ điện khi sang năm thứ hai, tìm hiểu thì được biết nhiều người cũng bị tương tự
I brought a pair and have not heard a single note out of them because I have no idea how to set them up because the app just stops at step 4 and goes no further. Feels like I wasted $3000 for nothing.
When you do not have enough room in your apartment or house to hear classical music with 'towering enferno bass reflex active boxes' wich even require expensive pre-amplifiers, then the investment of about 1500$ for this Kef alternative might be a good solution. Byy why do we hear at 2:18 only noice of a racing car instead of a Rossini opera or just a tenor aria to detec whether or not these two Kef models do reproduce the voice without any 'loudspreaker coloratura'? The stands that are available for this model are only briefly shown in this video, but they are useful for those who do not want to place the boxes on a bookshelf. These boses have a High frequency tweeter: 19 mm (0.75in.) aluminium dome and a HF: 19 mm (0.75in.) dôme aluminium
and a Low frequency/Middlerange speaker: 115 mm (4.5in.) magnesium/aluminium dome - totally 2 speakers for three frequencys.
I know you’re sponsored by KEF... But please try troubleshooting or reaching customer support as if you had purchased your own. See if they will offer to fix the LSX’s within the warranty period… wish reviews would consider that. Would never buy KEF again
Question Tom. Would you recommend these as desktop speakers with a MacBook pro 16 inch or are there better options? Mainly used for playing music whilst working but also for RUclips etc. possibly a video going through all the best desktop speaker options? I’d really appreciate your advice.
Did Ofgem set the price?
And Also you could get a Pair of Ruark MR1 MK2's and a REL T ZERO sub for alot cheaper maybe not as loud as these and doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the KEFS but just get a network streamer and plug into the Ruarks opitcal and stream any of the services like tidal spotify amazon music exc
Please also tell that USB connection on these speakers sucks big time. On wake-up it is set to 100% and balance is shifted too. Poor software support. Also at low volume these speakers do not sound like a 1500 Euro speakers at all.
How much does an xs max cost currently?
5:33 those left/right arrows are source inputs. For the longest time I was convinced the remote had no source input because of your video until I pulled up the manual
They don't sound all that good or maybe your standards are too low.
They would be good for surround speakers. Wish people would spend £79 on a Zoom stereo recorder when reviewing speakers that cost over a grand lol!!
Err you can change input by using the horizontal arrows, the light changes to denote the input
Oh! I didn’t catch that. Thank you
for the price of the stand of one of these speakers, u can get logitech z623, sounds really good
Nah I have own all Logitech series speaker none of then sound good for music kef ls50 night and day difference
"Not cheap" ehm, 1400 bucks is little more than "not cheap" :-D
KEF LSX design is very nice. I liked fabric cabinet, colours and overall aesthetic, but PSB Alpha IQ provides much better detalization and bass at the same price point. I bought both of them.
hi just wondering how you connected these to your pc was it just usb c just looking at maybe getting them as my pc speakers and maybe use for music with amazon thanks
The Kanto Tuks sound a lot better.
Do you have any experience with Devialets phantoms? I've got 2 gold at over £6ks worth. Considering selling them for something cheaper as they don't get a huge amount of use.... however they are stunning when I do use them and don't want to be disappointed with a downgrade
Me: "Hey, I'm in the market for some new speakers"
Me: Clicks the link...
Me: "LOL"
Nice. Are you intending to review the Samsung Ark Odyssey 55? I don't think I'll buy one until I watch a review I trust.
They better be stunning for something that costs 1200 or 1400 (depending on where you are) LOL
I got a Dali Kubic One Soiundbar and Dali e9f Sub for the price of these speakers and it sounds great
Requiring a mobile app just to change inputs is a stunningly bad design decision.....
I feel the age group is totally like "Hrm, maybe I should" vs "That price?! Woah!"
Beatty Place
La izquierda ya no suena y parpadea en rojo y ámbar. Qué hago? Gracias
They look amazing and I want some decent speakers to add to my desk, but £1200 and without a subwoofer is a lot of money. The cheapest KEF subwoofer is £1500. That’s just too rich for me
Can we connect it to a mac or pc with an usb cable to listen the music from a mac/pc?
Would you chose these LSX II’s over a used pair of LS50 wireless (1st gen)?
Can you plz do a comprison between headphones that are driven by Bluetooth or Radiowave frequency ?
But i think they sound small, what they is. In large room.
Perhaps you should show us how to set up the speakers like your title indicates
How would these compare to Audioengine HD6? Considering they are about double the price, how much of an improvement would they be? Thanks
Schaden Ranch
Just Bought myself a set of the carbon black for the kitchen. Can’t wait
You lost me at 12-14 hundred quid... lol
A bit good for GBP 1200. Dafakkkkkk?
The price is ridiculous LOL
I will better get edifier airpulse 300 for 900 USD. Which are definitely better.
wich are definetly not. when you hear these live you can understand that they can do things mostly only high end speakers can. its the speed of the driver delivering incredible percise sound and the imaging is wide and detailed aswell. If you think louder and deeper is better than maybe youre right. but not in technical terms and live exprience
I would love to see how it compares to A5+ Wireless from Audio Engine though
what kind of "donuts" are those?!
you can get samsung q950a for 800, who on the earth would buy this 2.0 stereo speakers for 1200
It's like you buy a bus with a ton of wheel rather than sports car with only 4 wheel.
You need to buy a better mic to record the sounds with.
$950 on sale lol, I don’t think so
Will stick to my Kanto YU6 for now.
I do like the appearance though.
I just bought them. They are amazing
Make a review on TCL C735 4k tv please
Any recommendation for a £100 setup? Don't need any of the fancy features, just need a speaker to be a speaker and produce decent sound.
logitech z623
WHWRE DOSE HE GET ALL THIS MONEY CAN I HAVE SOME
Finally someone who actually let's us hear what the speakers sound like.
Well, the reason why most reviewers don't do that is very simple: You will be listening to the audio through different speakers or headphones. You won't have any idea what they sound like in real life.
Thank you for the video.
Great review! Finally, HDMI!!! Perfect. Good job KEF!
How do they compare to the LSX I? Is the higher price justified or could you still also recommend the LSX I?
Get Vifa Stockholm 2.0 if you want some actually good sounding wireless speaker.
@@lukabosnjak3829 Thanks but I'm already using Edifier S3000 Pro, which are amazing. But I like the design of the KEFs 🙂
definitly not
WiSA support ?
Overpriced, plenty of better options out there.
Like?
@@Birmingham_racing My desktop comprises of Neumann Kh 120A monitors. Which are very accurate sounding and true to life. Would take them over the Kef any day but that’s just my opinion everyone likes different.
Man, i love KEF speakers. Bit out of my price range though. Have demo'd a few instore and they sound amazing.
Sheesh
Good speakers. Seriously over priced. You can get as good if not better a third of the price easy.
Not a cat in hell's chance.
@@greenbow7888 You perhaps don't know your audio as well as I do. No shame it's your option
@@Wellibob68 So what would you recommend? That's as small as LSX, active and with same inputs/audio quality?
Great video 👍👍
Thank you for a great video! I just got mine in Mineral White, today. Not only did your video finalize my decision, but you also answered some setup questions that I had as well. By the way, I use Roon, and I direct connected the LSX II via USB to my Mac mini, that allows me to get 24/192 from Qobuz. 😃
I absolutely love the sound of the LSX II, and I couldn't be happier with getting them. Thanks, again! 🙏🏽
Are they shielded (prevent magnetic interference)?
Why would they need to be shielded? Speakers don't affect LCD monitors, like they used to affect CRT monitors.
@@greenbow7888 exactly why I was asking, as I’ve CRTs.
Just got a pair for €400 and I adore them.
How
@@yousefyaghoobi282 Just went into the shop and bought them.
Listening to LSX II sound through my LSX II speaker.
