Wireless HiFi Speakers: The Essential Guide

Immerse yourself in exceptional audio convenience by choosing KEF wireless HiFi speakers.

If you’re a true audiophile, our LS Wireless Collection elevates your music enjoyment, making it feel like the artist is right in the room.

If it’s the cinematic side of sound that intrigues you the most, our wireless speakers enhance movie-watching by immersing you in every subtle sound and bringing gaming to life by revealing intricate sonic details.

Listeners favour wireless HiFi speakers for their seamless connectivity to a range of streaming services, including AirPlay2, Chromecast, Spotify and Tidal, eliminating the need for as many cables and additional devices such as DACs, streamers and amplifiers as traditional HiFi setups. A simple button press unleashes a precisely rendered playlist from your phone or tablet to the speakers.

However, with numerous options available, choosing the right wireless speaker requires careful consideration. This guide will explore essential factors to remember when selecting your wireless HiFi speaker. Additionally, we'll explore the diverse range of wireless speaker options KEF offers and guide you on setting them up.

What is a Wireless HiFi Speaker?

A wireless HiFi speaker is, quite simply, a speaker that doesn’t require wires or cables to connect to an audio source, instead it uses WiFi or Bluetooth to connect with your phone for seamless streaming. This can be incredibly convenient, cutting down on the number of wires in your home.

However, KEF wireless HiFi speakers also benefit from eARC/ARC-HDMI, USB and AUX ports allowing listeners to plug and play from TVs, laptops or turntables.

It’s worth noting here that if you’re interested in a more traditional wired HiFi speaker set up, which have several benefits in their own right, you can read our guide to our wired HiFi speakers to discover if these would be the best option for you.

What to Consider When Choosing Wireless HiFi Speakers

Wireless HiFi speakers are an investment in your audio enjoyment, so you’ll want to make a thoughtful selection by bearing the following in mind.

1. Are your Wireless Speakers compatible?

Perhaps the most important consideration when choosing wireless HiFi speakers is whether or not the speakers you’ve fallen in love with are compatible with the devices or apps you want them to connect to. After all, your shiny new wireless speakers can’t deliver the exemplary sound you’ve been dreaming of without a source.

Our LS Wireless Connection Connectivity Guide takes you through which streaming services and protocols are compatible with our speakers.

2. What size and style of Wireless HiFi Speakers should you buy?

When purchasing a wireless HiFi speaker, it’s understandable to get so caught up in how it will sound that you forget to consider how they’ll fit in your chosen room - but phenomenal-sounding speakers aren’t much use if they present an uncomfortable obtrusion in your home. Make sure to think about where you’ll place your wireless speaker and what size of speaker the size of your room can accommodate when you make your choice.

Also have a think about where you want to place your speakers. Do you want bookshelf speakers like KEF LSX II or floorstanding speakers such as KEF LS60 Wireless?

3. How should your Wireless Speakers look?

For a house proud listener, choosing wireless speakers comes with an extra layer of consideration. Speakers will need to look visually appealing in your home rather than sticking out like a sore thumb. Understanding this, KEF has worked with designers like Ross Lovegrove and Michael Young to create speakers that look as incredible as they sound. Speakers in the LS Wireless Collection also come in various colours; from traditional black and white to blues, greens and reds.

Wireless HiFi Speakers from KEF

At KEF, we’ve devoted expertise and passion to creating some of the most exceptional wireless HiFi speakers imaginable. Each speaker in the LS Wireless range features Uni-Q ® technology; the building blocks of our signature sound. The Uni-Q driver array acts as a single point source to enlarge the ‘sweet spot’ and disperses sound more evenly, allowing listeners to hear the natural, detailed sound.

LS60 Wireless

Our LS60 Wireless speakers are our floorstanding wireless speakers. Despite standing tall, these speakers have a slender profile inspired by flatscreen televisions, saving space in your home. Their sleek build doesn’t prevent them from holding phenomenal power, though, with a combined 1400 watts between the class AB and class D amplifier powering the high, medium and low frequencies.

LSX II

Delivering powerful HiFi from a compact package, LSX II measures just 240 × 155 × 180mm in height, width and depth. With their petite size, no one could expect the 24 bit/96 kHzkHz of high fidelity sound it unleashes.

Not only are these the perfect wireless speakers for smaller homes and rooms, but their compact size provides flexibility in placement. Small enough to fit in any setting, LSX II can be placed on a bookshelf, desktop, on S1 Floor Stands or mounted to a wall using B1 Wall Brackets.
