Great Balance, Excellent Detail In The Extreme Highs/Lows, Unrivalled Comfort, Spacious Sound, Dynamic Expressions, Warmth, Elegance, Style, Quality Materials, Solid Engineering
Premium Price Tag, Midrange Loses Some Detail, Passive Noise Cancelling Rather Moderate
The full package of elegance, comfort, style and sound performance is present in KEF's first flagship headphone. For an on-ear headphone, you might be scared of the high pricing of the KEF M500, being one of the more expensive at a price point of 300 Euro...

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 320 kbps...

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...

Abstract: 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...
