KEF audio is best known for its diverse lineup of hi-fi speakers and home theater systems. However, like any savvy speaker designer, KEF has recently utilized its four decades or so of audio experience to make its play in the lucrative game of hi-fi headp...

Providing elegance in style, sound, and comfort, and capsulized in a travel-ready package, KEF's M500 is a formidable offering to the ever expanding hi-fi genre. We think their $300 price tag is a bit high for a set of on-ears, but sometimes you have to...

With the recent launch of the Onkyo ES-HF300 s and the on-going success of the B&W P5 s (and B&W P3 ) it looks as if old school hi-fi brands are finally taking headphones seriously and with the £250 KEF M500 (and £150 in-ear M200) the brand's first foray...

KEF is famous for its speakers, but the M500 headphones (and the KEF M200 in-ears) are the company's first attempt at tackling the headphone market. It's a bold move going straight in with a £250 pair of headphones, but out of the box the KEF M500s make...
Rich, smooth sound, Powerful delivery, Weighty bass, Snug fit, Luxury, solid build-quality...
Not the final word in sonic subtlety or timing...
Considering KEF's lack of experience in headphone design, the M500s are a fine starting point. They don't quite have the timing or dynamics of the class-leaders, but their smooth and likeable sound is going to get them plenty of admirers. Best Buys: h...

Once we enter the $300 price range for headphones, our expectations become quite high. The first pair of headphones we’ve ever reviewed from KEF, however, do not disappoint. The $299.99 (direct) KEF M500 is a comfortable, great-sounding pair with a focus...

KEF's M500 (I hadn't yet tried its in-ear M200 at the time of writing) are stunningly beautiful and well made; probably the lightest-feeling, most comfortable cans I have worn. They don't have noise reduction, but the seal around the ear is certainly good...

Shopping for headphones in the $300 to $400 headphone range can be a quandary. The $300 options are mostly all fluff backed by celebrities and marketing jargon. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change the fact that it's still a pig, you know.The $400 cro...
Headphones and their accompanying reviews are, at this point, highly subjective. Most of us are listening to music via streaming services like Spotify. So for me this boils down to comfort and looks because my listening experience rarely exceeds 320kbps...

In the world of on-ear headphones, few can actually be called comfortable. The KEF M500 headphones are the only ones I've ever encountered that were as comfortable, and in some cases more comfortable, than over-ear headphones. For some, that would be enou...

Out of the gate, KEF is known for showcasing speaker systems that resemble pieces of art and emanate luxury, and it's apparent that KEF wanted to translate that into their portable audio line. To that effect, the M500 is a perfect example of KEF's signatu...
