Customer Ratings & Reviews

Satisfied with the bookshelf speakers and the matching center channel speaker. However, my experience was disappointing for the following reasons. To the Best Buy sales team: It's important to inform customers that these speakers do not come with grilles, which must be purchased separately. Additionally, please note that KEF does not offer white grilles for white speakers. Also why require consumers to drill through the product listing to find the model number of these speakers? To the KEF product team: Is it too much to ask for a $25 retail-priced grille to be included in a $600 speaker package? To the designers at KEF: If you can't convince your product teams to provide matching grilles in colors other than standard black, perhaps consider limiting the speaker color options to black only rather than selling white speakers without matching grilles.

These speakers with my Rotel A12 sound absolutely amazing. The lows and the highs are there and everyday I’m impressed. I don’t even use a sub and they definitely make my bedroom floor shake. They’re perfect in my bedroom. Some of the best bookshelf speakers that KEF makes. I love the design and feel of them. I’m a very proud owner of these

Clean, tight bass. Clear mids, and smooth highs. Warm buttery sound. Amazing sound stage with the uni-Q driver array, creates a large sweet spot in the room. Currently used in a 2 channel setup, adding the SVS PB2000 Pro subwoofer. For certain music styles you could use them without a subwoofer.

I compared both q150 and q350. I felt Q350 has more depth to sound and I loved hearing music in q350 than in q150. Even though it has 6.5 inch driver, it may require a sub based on listening preferences. For reference I am using tidal mqa from bluesound node 2i and pioneer lx504. Q350 is way better than q150 as I felt it more lively and detailed. I am not saying q150s are bad but I felt very little difference from my existing bookshelf infinity p153. For additional money I felt q350s are worth. For $500, q350s are great. But for original price I would have compared with B&W 600 series and then made the decision. Overall I am happy with the purchase and as always thanks to BB and Magnolia for their great service.

I was apprehensive to spend so much on a set of "bookshelf" speakers. I actually went to the store to buy the 5.25 and they came out with these instead, I decided to go for it and go ahead and buy these, I paired them up with the sony 2 channel receiver. I am pretty picky about speakers and sound quality and these are literally the best speakers I've ever heard, sound like they're double the size. Don't hesitate, buy them now.

Love this speaker. It sounds very nice. Just make sure you have a good receiver to drive it. Also, get a good subwoofer. My subwoofer is Klipsch 12 inches. My receiver is Emotiva BasX MR1. You will enjoy quality music.

I have two other sets of R3 Metas and I love them but they are pricey. These affordable speakers FAR exceeded my expectations to the point that I think in retrospect I would purchase two sets of these for each room instead of buying the more expensive speakers. WOW, what sound and power from these mighty bookshelf speakers.

Bought these speakers a few weeks ago. I paired them with a 165 watt per channel Pioneer Elite. I am also running a large pair of Yamaha speakers. These Kef are awesome. Really great sound. You will not be disappointed if you purchase a pair. They can handle a lot of power, and keep on jamming.

These are beautiful awesome speakers. They sound amazing.

[Employee of bestbuy] The drivers are not a gimmick—the Kef sweet spot is massive. Been re-listening to my favorite music and movies all over again. In a 2.0 setup (for now) these absolutely blow away almost any sound bar options out there in sound quality, imaging and separation. Truly unbelievable from a pair of bookshelves at this price point.

This is a fantastic speaker by any measure. I use digital sources, and a sub filtering out frequencies below 80hz. These speakers are used in tandem with a pair of paradigm floor standers in a huge open great room. Fantastic

Great sound. Forgiving positionally. A little less rich of a sound but far more precise than the Polk signature speakers they replace. A new huge fan of the Uni-Q driver that KEF employs. Wait for these to be on sale.

Great sounding speaker! I love that it has the option to wall mount with brackets (sold separately.)

Best side speakers I’ve ever had. The sounds is amazing.

Lost the moment UPS got their hands on it. BB told me to wait and see what happens. I waited and guess what, still lost. Now that I waited, instead of 400 dollars its 600 dollars. I wanted a replacement and best they can do is give a refund. Beware of buying open box excellent from best buy. If your package comes from Aurora Colorado good luck. Investigate Aurora Colorado UPS facility. How good are the speakers you ask? Wouldn't know.

Loving my new Kef Q350 in Walnut. These are probably my first true audiophile speaker purchase, assuming these are on the low end of that category. They are far superior to my recent purchases of tower loudspeakers, Polk Tsi300 (very nice but just not great) and Klipsch 620F (very nice but a bit too bright for music only) and blow away some vintage speakers I have tried Bose 301 series II and 501's Pioneer CSR 300 and Realistic. Just much cleaner sound and more detail to my ear. These have perfect bass for small to medium office/living room and I don't think a sub is needed unless heavy bass is a must. Love the look without grills and the walnut finish is nice enough for $700 speakers. They are warm and I am pairing with Cambridge Audio CX 35/channel integrated amp, Cambridge CD and Project TT. Perfect set up for my taste, just need to add Cambridge Streamer. Pretty large for bookshelf but no overwhelming and I have on Kanto 32" stands, seems like perfect height for my listening position. Highly Recommend

I went with the KEF Q350 in black and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The matte black finish is classy and fits right into my space. They deliver a wide, detailed soundstage with smooth mids and crisp highs. Bass is tight on its own, but I added a sub for a fuller low-end experience. Incredible value—these speakers make every listen a pleasure.

Got these on sale and I got to tell you I couldn't be happier. First they get LOUD, these are no joke. The size makes that evident as these are large and very clearly in charge. The sound is also crazy clean and clear. I'd suggest pairing them with a nice sub and you got one heck of a setup.

Excellent detail, great soundstage and imaging when playing music. Can get a tad “edgy” in the upper midrange region with some vocals and brass instruments, but not overbearing (and perhaps will smoothen with more playtime). Punchy, full bottom end...but would do better with a subwoofer for more modern genres of music and definitely for home theater applications (they pair extremely well with my SVS SB-2000 Pro). I’ve auditioned a few brands of bookshelf speakers over the last couple of months (Elac, SVS, Triangle), and for me, the Q350s offered the smoothest, most detailed and punchiest sound. One thing I noted...after running Audyssey on my Denon AVR, the differences between Stereo mode with DSP, etc., and Pure Direct mode were the least out of all the speakers I tried...a positive, I would think, for the Q350s. These are what I was looking for...keepers!

Nice speakers, nice finish. I wish the grills came with them but they don't, You have to purchase them. Great sound and decent base, Happy with purchase. They were on sale
