The LS50 is a unique piece of technology that has the potential to change the way people listen to music. It can be used as a standalone device with just an internet connection, which could make it more accessible and affordable for those who don’t have access to expensive amps or power supplies.
The KEF LS50 Wireless II is a new wireless speaker that has received a significant update. This update includes features that make it more powerful and efficient, as well as being more reliable. The LS50 Wireless II is also available in an active and passive version. The active version has been given the same update as the passive LS50, meaning that it has received all of the new features and improvements that have been made to the passive LS50.
KEF LS50 Wireless II review: Design
The KEF LS50 Wireless II headphones are sleek and subtle, and they are offered in four subdued colors: white, black, red, and grey. The well-known copper-colored Uni-Q driver, which places a tweeter in the Centre of the bass and mid-range cone, contrasts with the sleek cabinet, which KEF claims has been “optimized for best acoustic performance.” The inserts on each corner of the LS50 Wireless II allow them to fit securely onto the KEF S2 stands if you want to go all out with your hi-fi setup. Alternatively, if money is tight, just use them as a set of desk or bookshelf speakers.
The Samsung UN55JU7500 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV has a number of features that make it easy to enjoy your entertainment. You can turn on the speakers, cycle through several connectivity choices, change the volume, or muffle them entirely using the touch-sensitive control panel that lights up on top of the main speaker. You can see the type of audio source you’re connected to, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, TV, optical, coaxial, or auxiliary, via a mode indicator at the top of the control panel. ..
The KEF LS50 Wireless II is a great speaker system that includes an infrared remote control. This allows you to change audio sources, skip tracks, fast forward, rewind, and play/pause your music. The back of the main speaker has numerous ports for wired connections; more on that in a moment.
Features
The redesigned motor system and KEF’s optimized custom digital signal processing algorithm system are what define the 12th version of the patented Uni-Q from KEF. The LS50 Wirelesses’ layout is replicated here, with a new 100W class A/B amplifier driving the tweeter and a 280W class A/B amplifier driving the mid/bass driver. When KEF unveiled its LSX speaker system in 2018, it did away with the physical inter-speaker cable in favor of a wireless connection that could play files (up to 24-bit/192kHz) at a maximum 24-bit/48kHz resolution.
The KEF LS50 Wireless II ups the wireless limit to 24-bit/96kHz, meaning they only need to downsample files above that resolution - peak file support is now 24-bit/384kHz. By physically connecting the right (master) and left (slave) speakers with the provided ethernet cable, native playback is upgraded to 24-bit/192kHz. This time, high-resolution Tidal Masters and compatible downloaded files can be played back with DSD256 support and MQA decoding. ..
KEF LS50 Wireless II review: Connectivity
The Panasonic Lumix GH4 has a variety of built-in connections, including a coaxial and optical input, an Ethernet port, a subwoofer output, an HDMI eARC plug for your TV, and 3.5mm AUX inputs. You can connect the speakers to any audio source using the included cable.
Audio performance
The KEF LS50 Wireless has been praised for its “clean and crisp” sound and “nicely rich and delineated” soundstage. KEF has elevated these qualities to a new level with the MAT technology. Although the difference in purity can be heard throughout the frequency range, the effect of MAT is most noticeable in the treble’s cleanliness. The originals sound a little bit more refined because to the cleaner-cut mids and better-defined bass. ..
The entire presentation has been opened up, and that additional space is now filled with finer, more accurate detail as well as greater instrument separation, which makes the delivery sound significantly less crowded in comparison. With the Wireless IIs, Adrienne Lenker’s Symbol is more engrossing to listen to.
The Uni-Q driver’s tweeter-inside-the-mid/bass-cone design allows for a more spacious sound, while still maintaining the cohesiveness that is a hallmark of the driver’s Uni-Q design.
The new KEFs reveal more intricate guitar playing while also highlighting her vocal’s particular fragility. When we flip to Peter Broderick’s Moment, the piano sequence aches with painstakingly created melody as the LS50 Wireless II more skillfully defines the beginning and end of notes. The Wireless II are eager to demonstrate their improved punch, agility, and finesse as we play Mac Miller’s What’s The Use? Their clarity and purity compliment the track’s professional production by bringing life to the melodic baseline and unmistakably cutting lyricism.
Performance
Both subjectivist and objectivist audio enthusiasts have embraced KEF’s LS50 line of loudspeakers, and this newest model is unlikely to buck the trend. The timbrally honest, spatially accurate, and dynamically competent LS50 Wireless II has insanely amazing sound quality. ..
The LS50 Wireless II is an excellent speaker that produces clean, dynamic bass and is able to handle most musical genres. However, it does not have the same range as a serious one-volume dictionary and can be a little too bright for some listeners.
KEF LS50 Wireless II review: Price
The Keef LS50 Wireless II speakers are a great option for audiophiles who want to improve their sound quality. They are available at a very affordable price, and there hasn’t been an increase in cost since the original LS50 Wireless were introduced back in 2016. If you’re looking for a pair of audiophile speakers that will improve your sound quality, the Keef LS50 Wireless II is a great option to consider.
Conclusion

The wireless implementation, simplicity of setup, and practical connectivity options are the best features of this set. We are seriously considering spending money on a set because of these excellent features.
