KEF LS50 Wireless II (Carbon Black)
Wireless System Speakers
£1,999
”KEF's second-generation speaker system is still incredible.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.
Award-winning system, made better
Famed for their striking design, balanced sound and complete connectivity, the original KEF LS50 Wireless speakers swept the board. Now featuring new MAT technology for superior sound, a brand-new wireless platform and new KEF Connect app, the LS50 Wireless II is more impressive than ever.
The wireless speakers that put sound first
Based on the revolutionary LS50 Meta, these KEF wireless speakers use MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology) for lower distortion and a much purer, more natural sound. KEF’s famous Uni-Q drivers produce room-filling sound, free from the usual ‘sweet spot’. Powering all this is a mighty amplifier system that uses a combination of digital and analogue amplification to produce a total output of 380 watts per speaker.
Truly wireless option
There are many wireless stereo speakers on the market, but ‘wireless’ doesn’t always mean what you might think. Just like its competitors, the LS50 Wireless II streams music wirelessly. It also goes one stage further, though, in featuring a wireless connection between the speakers themselves – no umbilical cord required. If you want to improve file resolution from 96 kHz/24 bit to 192 kHz/24 bit, then simply use the supplied interspeaker connection cable.
Streaming services and Internet Radio
Download the KEF Connect app (available for Android and Apple iOS) and enjoy easy access to all your favourite streaming services, Internet Radio and podcasts. Compatible with Spotify Connect (Premium account required), TIDAL, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer and more, the app lets you access a near-limitless stream of music. The app also makes it easy to access your favourite Internet Radio stations and podcasts.
AirPlay 2, Chromecast and UPnP – Wireless freedom
Connect to your network via wi-fi or Ethernet and stream your music, your way. Compatible with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, the player suits most Apple and Android multi-room speaker systems. If you prefer to stream from your own music storage, UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play) compatibility means it collaborates with a wide range of third party apps for effortless music network streaming.
Made for High Resolution music – including support for MQA and ROON
As well as offering the dynamic range to make the most of Hi-Res music, the LS50 Wireless II also supports many associated formats. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) – as used by TIDAL Masters – is compatible. ROON Endpoint status means it’s compatible with the award-winning music player – including Hi-Res files.
Ultimate Bluetooth speaker
For a quick and easy connection, the LS50 Wireless II speakers are also compatible with Bluetooth. The high quality Bluetooth 4.2 connection is perfect for quick and easy pairing with family and friend’s smartphones – making it an ideal way to share music.
Or, cable it up
Thanks to its HDMI, optical and coaxial digital, plus analogue 3.5mm inputs you can also connect up other sources, such as your TV, games console, CD player or turntable (with built-in pre-amp).
Iconic design
Equally as impressive as the sound and connectivity, the LS50 Wireless II’s style is hard to beat. The smooth, clean design is striking yet still easy on the eye. Choose between Carbon Black, Mineral White, Titanium Grey or Crimson Red, for the style that best suits you.
Enjoy a premium listening experience, in style, with the KEF LS50 Wireless II.

Helpful Aftercare
Had no trouble ordering the speakers themselves and was happy with the delivery and communication.
When setting them up I realised the master/slave wire was a bit too short - but I could figure out what exact wire it was to order a longer version. I got in touch with Richer Sounds and they weren't sure, but they contacted the supplier directly and had got an answer back to me within 24 hours - very satisfied

Superb sound and look
They're pricey and a little cumbersome to set up, but the sound has such wonderful depth and maintains quality up the volume range. They look excellent in my living room too, interesting but not garish at all.
I'd recommend using a cat 6 network cable to link them up for a slightly higher bit rate and quicker wake times from the secondary speaker.
Unfortunately the price has gone up, much like everything else. But if they're in your budget and you listen to streaming music regularly then they're absolutely worth every penny.
You might well get more precise performance from separates, but this package and simplicity is hard to argue with.

Excellent Service
I bought a pair of KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers from the team at Leicester and what a pleasant experience it was. The team set up for a full demo and answered all my questions. The service from ordering to delivery was faultless. Highly recommended.

Superb Soumd
I have used separates before costing twice the price and these give a superior sound and this does not include interconnects and speaker cables which made the previous system expensive in comparison.
