I spent about $900 for the KEF X300A “wireless” speakers several years ago and have had nothing but trouble getting the wireless functionality to actually work. The speakers themselves appear to be well built, but the wireless functionality is worthless. I have called KEF and received no useful support. They essentially blamed the issue on my network. I have many other devices on my wireless network that work without issue and have been doing so for years. The KEF wireless functionality has been a “hit and miss” over the same number of years. The iOS wireless setup app for X300A speakers is also very narrow in functionality on its own and KEF doesn’t appear to be committed to keep it up to date. This lack of product support should be a warning flag to any prospective buyers of their products.

These speakers sound great. Full stop. That’s where the good news ends. The speakers seldom stay paired with your source for long, so you always need to reconnect… which the software rarely does. As of 2021, the app does not work, rendering the speakers useless. These speakers should last a lifetime, but the support and app do not.

The device is in the user's hands and the wireless app is dead, so why can't they still use it?

Bumping up the stars now that the app has been updated to work on iOS 11.
