KEF M200

The M200s are a fine first effort that excel in some areas – but they don’t quite make class-leader status

If there’s one thing KEF understands, it’s audio, with the company producing some of the best speakers we’ve ever heard. Unfortunately, we can’t carry big speakers everywhere we go, so KEF has had to compromise and produce something far, far smaller.

If you can get a tight seal -- and that's a big if -- the British speaker company's new $200 in-ear headphones deliver very clean, well-balanced sound.
