Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.)

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.

These are beautiful awesome speakers. They sound amazing.

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

Even at full price these speakers really work for me. I could best sum it up by saying they are so pleasant to listen to. Solid low end without being overpowering and smooth and well integrated mids and highs. I recommend stand mounting them.

Had been using the q150’s as the main speakers in my home theater setup. Wanted to try something a little bigger and these were very much worth the upgrade. They did sound a little muddy out of the box, but it just came down to placement and room treatment. Followed KEF’s suggested placement, put some sound absorption behind them and they opened up and smoothed out significantly. I’m not noticing any issues with sound quality at any volume - low is amazing and they get louder than I could ever listen while maintaining clarity. I have these paired with the q250 center and think they blend well.

I fell in love with aesthetics of these speakers long before hearing them, after watching and reading multiple reviews was able to find a great price for a open box and decided to see if they sound as good as they look. Connected to a 2 channel Nikko s510 amp, and primary listening with a U-Turn Orbit + turntable. From two weeks of listening with tweaks to amp settings at differentiating volume levels, The Kef q350 fits well within my setup. The speakers have great lows and while it takes cranking it higher than usual to get that Kick of room filling sound It does create realistic warm tones and realistic deep bass. The crossover is phenomenal creating the ability for the music to become its own atmosphere. Hours have been spent listening to songs with a perspective of greater sound. Listening to music has always been a good pastime these make it great.

Excellent sound. Wide soundstage with good center image. Sound is smooth detailed highs. Bass is goes fairly deep. Useable without sub. Definitely recommend
