Kef coda w

I’m using a KEF Coda W with the KEF Connect app. I cannot change the primary speaker assignment (left/right). The app does not allow me to switch the primary speaker from left to right or vice versa. Is this a bug or is there a way to fix it?

Awesome app, great product

Really great app: not sure why it has bad ratings. Just follow the app directions!! Everything you need to get started is in the box and the app walks you through it step by step.

Lost connection

When you needed it the most, they always felled you. 50% of my time is trying to connect, what a thousand door trash. This is the first and the last of KEF ever, I’m DONE.

KEF XIO

Хорошее приложение.Некоторых функций не хватает,да и местами не очень удобное.Например собрали бы все обработки звука в одну вкладку,а не убирали бы часть в настройки.Dolby и dts это касается.Виртуальные которые.В отстальном все хорошо.

Good speakers terrible app.

One of the worst apps I have on my phone. It either doesn’t recognise the speakers or if it does the buttons are just greyed out with a spinning wheel of doom. The only way to get them to connect is to turn them on with the supplied remote and then the app will work.

Clunky and Broken

Purchased the LSX II LT speakers months ago and have had nothing but issues with the software. Even when connected directly via USB-C you are required to setup the speakers first via the KEF Connect app (which is mostly impossible) and even when connected properly the app features are limited (for some reason). Dev team refuses to update and improve.

Took away access to all settings

After some recent update the app no longer lets you change settings like whether the speakers are hardwired to one another or invert the left and right side

Lag

The volume control on the Kef Coda W is very laggy and therefore very annoying. Doesn’t matter if I’m close to the speakers or not.

Wtf is going on

Spend £900 and spend hours trying to get the speakers to update. Still not working. Will prob have to send them back. Absolute rubbish. LSX LT II

이거때문에라도 케프는 안쓴다 안정적인거 하나도없음

Rubbish

Like many other users, this app simply doesn’t work as it should. You buy a premium set of speakers, and you get to watch them crash down without being able to listen to music. I’ve had my speakers for 6 months, they’ve been broken down for 4 months as in trying to find a resolution with KEF.

Buy another brand !

작동 잘하다가 이상해짐

이거 뭐 이런 스피커가 다있나

cannot connect

Have to spend at least 30 minutes every time I try to connect and listen. Do you test your app before releasing to your customers?

Good Speakers. Bad App.

Disappointing to have such quality speakers yet such a poor app experience. KEF hire me and let’s fix this <3

Works great for what it does

I don't know why this gets such poor reviews, it works great for doing the things you need it to do, ie switching between modes and all that. The integration with Deezer and my DLNA server is excellent, better than VLC which I was using. I can add songs to queue from multiple sources, I think that is so cool! And I like to use the app instead of Airplay because it avoids the hiccup while Airplay initializes, missing the first few seconds of the song. Finally fade between songs is seamless. Overall very nice app from a small Audiophile oriented company, very impressed just like I am with the speakers. Thanks!

Awful connectivity management for LSX II

Bought speakers from Costco, past 3 month mark for return window. Apple Airplay is hit or miss and I’m wired Ethernet for both Apple TV and Speakers. $700 of frustration!!!

Great hardware ruined by terrible software

The acoustic engineering of these speakers is actually quite good—the sound quality is solid for the price, especially when it works. However, the software architecture is an absolute nightmare.

The KEF Connect app constantly loses connection to the speakers for no apparent reason, requiring a full, frustrating 20-minute re-pairing and reconfiguration process way too often. Even without any internet drops or router issues, the app simply fails to "see" the speakers on the local network.

Since critical DSP functions and subwoofer settings are locked behind this app, any network dropout makes the entire system unusable. If you are looking for a reliable, plug-and-play audio experience, avoid these until KEF completely refactors their network stack and app stability. Great drivers, garbage software.

Still doesn’t work

Updated both firmware and application. Have super fast broadband and *still* the app will not connect to the speakers more than 10% of the time. Really unacceptable. Wish I’d gone Sonos.

Online account required??

Apparently you have to sign up online in order to use KEF LSX II LT speakers. I’m returning it back to the store as defective, because it’s a fatal flaw that prevents me from using the speakers.
