Product Information
Matching KEF’s class-leading ability for sound quality with outstanding design and functionality, the KEF Mu7 headphones raise the bar for noise-cancelling headphones.
A world-leader in speaker design, now producing headphones
Now in its seventh decade, KEF has an enviable reputation for speaker design. From BBC studios to high-end home systems, KEF are considered one of the world’s leading speaker companies. When it comes to KEF Mu7 headphones, KEF have applied similar care and rigour to their speaker design, ensuring that these headphones are amongst the very best sounding at their price.
Pure, high resolution sound
Just as with their reference speakers, KEF have tuned the Mu7 headphones to deliver a pure, consistent sound. The 40mm drivers are voiced to produce realism and tonal accuracy, rather than an overwrought bass response. Suitable for use with all types of music media, but especially impressive with Hi-Res music files, the MU7’s deliver music with polished precision.
Noise cancelling
For enhanced versatility, the Mu7 headphones feature switchable noise cancellation. Switch on and, combined with the closed back design you’ll block out the outside world, letting you more of your music, more of the time – without having to turn the volume up to uncomfortable levels.
Wired or wireless
For the ultimate in uncompressed, Hi-Res sound, use the supplied cable and connect to your headphone amp, DAC or home system. Switch to wireless Bluetooth and you’ll still enjoy the best possible sound possible. With Qualcomm’s aptX HD technology, you get 24 bit/48kHz quality for ‘better than CD’ high resolution playback.
Intuitive control
Using a capacitive touchpad on the right-hand earcup, you can control a whole host of features via simple tap and swipe motions. Answer and drop calls, skip tracks, adjust the volume and activate your voice assistant – all from one seamless touchpad.
Long battery life
Thanks to a battery that lasts for up to 40 hours, you get to enjoy the Mu7’s for longer. What’s more, its 40 hours even with Bluetooth and Smart Active Noise Cancellation engaged, meaning you don’t have to make compromises to get this generous battery life. Fast charging means that just 15 minutes of charging is enough for a further 8 hours of use.
KEF comfort
With such a long battery life, it’s good to see that KEF has ensured that there’s comfort to match. Memory foam ear cushions fit to perfection while the padded headband clamps to your head with just the right amount of force – not too tight but tight enough to ensure a good seal with the earpads.
Stand out from the crowd – with design by Ross Lovegrove
Renowned for his sculptural, flowing forms, Ross Lovegrove is a visionary designer. The Mu7’s have a purity of design that reflects their sound quality. The smooth, seamless design is available in a choice of Silver Grey or Charcoal Grey finishes.
For headphones that make a statement in style and substance, the KEF Mu7s are perfectly rounded in every respect.
