Is it possible to connect one's Bluetooth headset to the KEF LS50 Wireless II in such a way that the output is via the headphones instead of the speakers, if desired? Is the Bluetooth interface bi-directional, so to speak?

What do you think about sitting the speakers horizontal? Will that affect the output?

@YuriBrus

Thanks to their Uni Q drivers, they seem to be pretty insensitive to off-axis placement, so I do not expect the sound quality to suffer from placing them horizontally. Not sure, though, if the internal electronics are up for it and you might wanna check that first with KEF CS.

Expected more in-depth expert advise on the setup

@HiFi Reference Once the LS50 W2 has lost the USB input against the new HDMI one, I imagine than one possibility to connect a computer directlly to the LS50 W2 is just using the HDMI cable. But. Is it any other wiring way to connect a computer with the speakers? Of course I meaning, usin the internal speakers DAC, it's clear that is possible to connect via the analog imput.

Does the playback have some delay or latency? I would like to use them for listening, but also for DJing, therefore any delay or processing would be really annoying (if not familiar to DJing, imagine playing an instrument with delay on your return/booth sound)

@YuriBrus

Hi Frederico. I have not noticed any delay over HDMI. But I suppose, for your purpose, you would use the analog input and I am pretty sure that the incoming analog signal undergoes digital processing and this will probably cause some delay issues. You would probably be better off with regular powered monitors or if you have your mind set on the LS50, then maybe the passives with a good amp. Best regards, Yuri

I'm also considering some studio monitors, like KRK rokit, yamaha hs, or pioneer dj, monitors. Do you have any idea of how those compare to LS50 on sound quality?

If you can stretch your budget even further and you want something more audiophile, the Dynaudio BM5 MKIII are often available at a big discount, since it's an older model, but still one of the best studio monitors within its price range. It also has both unbalanced RCA and Balanced XLR inputs, giving you lot's of connectivity options.

Hello Alex, thank you for your question. I am currently looking at subwoofers for this system and narrowed my choice down to either the REL T5i or REL Tzero (rel.net/rel-acoustics-t-5i-tzero-comparison/). The KEFs are in my office space, so the Tzero would actually suffice. However, if I ever want to move this setup to my living room, the T5i is probably the better choice. Unfortunately, due to the COVID situation, here in Europe, both have long delivery times, so I'll have to do without a subwoofer for now. Which isn't all bad, because on its own, it is already a very capable system. Best regards, Yuri.

I plan to put a subwoofer in my living room who is approximately 20m2 I'm not looking for the raw power but convenience especially for the room placement (I'm not living alone 😅) I heard good things about the Bower & Wilkins line (I think the ASW610 who is a 10inch with room correction is their cheapest) but I'm also looking at some Yamaha or SVS who are easier to find here. I really don't know what to pick I have pretty bad experience with "cheap" 2.1 system (bass very hard to tune in the room, trying to overtake the speakers and directional). Some years ago I bought the biggest subwoofer 500$ could buy (a 400w Jamo 12inch) the result was really terrible haha and that thing was enormous so I returned it the next day. That's why I'm looking for more mainstream brands in Europe than Rel so if it's really not working with the Kef ls50 wireless I can still return it in the worst case scenario. Amicaly Alex

Hey Batdroid, thank you for your feedback. Great to hear that you're using the REL T5, that is exactly the sub I had in mind. My kids use their Spotify App to playback music over these speakers.

In regards to your location issue; I believe that there are different versions of the KEF App for different regions. For example, in my region there is no QPlay available, in Asia there is.
