Best part of my job? Taking the gear I write about home and trying it out — like I did with the KEF MUO Wireless Speaker. When I lifted it out of the box, it had the heft of a quality-built speaker, and its smooth aluminum shell was cool to the touch. And when I paired it with my smartphone, I discovered it had the sound of a quality-built speaker, too. KEF's been designing innovative high-performance speakers since 1961, and this is a worthy addition to their line. The sound was spacious and warm, yet richly detailed.
The MUO's two Uni-Q® point source driver arrays are more than just full range speakers. The central tweeter dome is decoupled from the outer cone, allowing it and the woofer to move independently. The result is greater definition and accuracy in the highs, as well as the midrange. A long throw passive radiator reinforces the low tones, giving the sound a full-bodied texture. The driver arrays are positioned for maximum sound dispersion and to minimize interference with each other. When I cranked up the volume, the sound did indeed fill the room without sounding harsh or distorted.
You can stream music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet to the MUO via Bluetooth. The system includes aptX audio coding, an advanced type of Bluetooth wireless streaming that retains virtually all the detail of the audio signal it carries. The MUO's sophisticated digital-to-analog converter renders your music with accurate detail.
While the MUO's great right out of the box, the free KEF MUO app lets you do even more with this remarkable portable speaker. The app gives you step-by-step instructions for setup. It also lets youpairtwo MUOs together, as I did (I do love my job). You can configure them as a left/right pair for true stereo separation — a great option for a desktop sound system. Or you can have both MUOs play simultaneously — ideal for a deck party where you need music evenly dispersed.
Great sound, not crazy loud but very good. Clear and good volume. I wish it could play louder, I'm a bit of a lover of loud music, but for the size of the thing, it rocks. Built very solid. After 8 months I ordered a 2nd so I can have stereo. Wish it had USB-3 power connection.

You'll be astonished by the sweet, natural treble, fluid midrange and clean, tightly controlled bass.

You'll still need to control music playback and view song/artist info from your Bluetooth source device. Up to 8 devices can be paired to the MUO with two devices connected at the same for easier switching (however, only one can be used for music playback at a time).
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the KEF MUO.

Vertical or Horizontal Placement: The MUO automatically optimizes its output to suit vertical or horizontal positioning, so you always enjoy the same remarkable acoustic depth and definition.
Rechargeable Battery: The KEF MUO has a rechargeable battery with up to 12 hours of playback time, and switches itself off automatically when not in use to prolong battery life. The MUO's battery can be charged using the included AC power adapter. It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the MUO's battery.
