With the M500, KEF was awarded the RedDot Design Award 2013. This shouldn't come as a surprise though, if you've ever laid eyes on it. However, its excellent sound is much more important. If you think about KEF, you'll probably picture high-end speakers. You'd be correct in doing so, and if you want that same great sound coming from a pair of headphones, then be sure to give the M500s a whirl! Ergonomically speaking, the KEF M500 features Smart Hinges between the ear pieces and the headband, which help them fit comfortably on virtually any head. The ear pads are lined with memory foam so you'll be able to listen for hours on end.
KEF M500: audio
While many affordable headphones tend to sound shrill, flat or boosted, the M500 bucks that trend. It offers a remarkably flat frequency response, ranging from sub-lows to sparkling trebles thanks to its two 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets. The voice coil is made of aluminium wire instead of the usual steel wire, resulting in a much quicker response in high-frequency reproduction - which is essential when bringing music to life, regardless of what your favourite genre is.
Protection and equipment
Hearing damage has been a hot topic for a while now, thanks to the massive increase in personal audio devices. Luckily, the KEF M500 headphones comply with the CENELEC EN60065/A12 standard for protection against excessive sound pressure, so you can enjoy your favourite music - and the excellent quality of these KEF headphones - for many years to come! Included in your delivery, you will find a protective sleeve, a flight adapter, a jack adapter and an additional 1.3m cable.
