KEF reviews & products

Best portable wireless speaker £200+, Awards 2015. Award-winner is still a great performer, but competitors have raised the bar

Best desktop speaker, Awards 2016. KEF cracks it with these unique egg-shaped speakers.

Best traditional package £2000+, Awards 2015. Gorgeous looks, gorgeous sound, gorgeous package

Still great, but now overtaken by newer, stronger rivals

The M200s are a fine first effort that excel in some areas – but they don’t quite make class-leader status

A niche design, but these KEF speakers will please some with their smooth, detailed sound

KEF’s debut in the headphone market is a strong one – the M500s have plenty of appeal

A flexible, room-filling system, but there are packages out there that tell you more

Impeccably built and finished, but sound lacks brio

Looks great and sounds good, but no longer top dog

The hefty KEF Q300 5.1 system will give you no-compromise cinema sound

KEF KHT1505s are stylish budget speakers that produce big movie sound

Designed to complement the flatscreen fashion, the KEF T101 thin speakers make a glorious sound

First impressions are good for these imposing looking floorstanders, but it's soon apparent there's no low end discipline here

Fine, engaging standmounters, but not quite at the top anymore

Despite its smooth looks, this KEF lacks excitement compared to its nearest and most competitively priced rivals

A hugely impressive wireless system - it's just a shame about the price-tag

KEF has introduced a more affordable version of its KHT 2005.3 speaker system using the Kube-1 subwoofer instead of the Kube-2

KEF's excellent KHT3005SE package is now available in a more affordable version with the addition of the KUBE-2 subwoofer

Classy compact package, stylish and well-made – but could be more thrilling

From their gently curving cabinets to their intriguing UniQ tweeter/driver arrangement, from the standard of their build and finish to their confident

We could talk at length about the C5s’ lack of outright dynamic heft, or their rudimentary grasp of timing. But our advice is simple: don’t spend £400

Much impressed us, from the superb wood finish to the way they looked in our largest room

Given KEF’s track record, we expected much better – these C3s are a real disappointment

They look the part, but the sonic flaws of the iQ70s are significant in number

They're not without deficiencies to be overcome but, at this moment and at this price, the KEFs don't have too much competition

A long-established favorite made even better with a few detail tweaks and the inclusion of an all-new subwoofer

One of the few towers that can give equivalently priced standmounts a real scare

Superbly made, but this system clearly needs the added presence of a subwoofer – consider additional investment in this area essential

Great performance, looks and build, but after two years at the top, the KEF now faces some tough competition
