KEF Headphones M100: Review

We seem to get through a huge amount of headphones in this house. I’m not 100% sure how they get broken but Ash seems to have this knack of them one minute being fine and the next, one side seems to have stopped working. So I am always looking for something to hopefully last longer than the last pair.

A few weeks ago KEF got in touch about some of the fantastic products they have on sale at the moment and when I saw one of the items was a pair of headphones I wanted to know more. However, as I read on I became more and more interested, as I have to admit I hadn’t heard of KEF before, but they are actually a British brand that has been around since 1961 and was founded by Raymond Cooke OBE and as such have a long and celebrated history in the sound industry.

KEF M100

Ash is a person who loves in-ear headphones so when it came to which pair of headphones to try, it was a no brainer, the M100 in ear headphones range was a must. These particular headphones are revered for being comfortable and lightweight in the ears and they offer a true high-resolution sound, so you can enjoy sound on the move.

The KEF M100 series of in-ear headphones comes in a number of different colours, including; racing blue, sunset orange, titanium grey and the pair we received, champagne gold. The headphones come really nicely packaged and include a little carry case, with a few spare ear tips in different sizes.

These headphones are made to be completely compatible with Apple devices, as well as many other brands.

Ash is perhaps the one who knows more about headphones than me, so I turned to him and asked him what he thought about these headphones. He said he found them to be really comfortable thanks to the ear design, while the sound from them was crisp and clear as the earphones minimise distortion and instruments were clearly differentiated.

When it comes to make, he felt they were well made and could easily live up to everyday wear and tear that we all seem to put headphones through when we use them. This from him is pretty high praise, indeed.

The M100 from KEF has an RRP of £119.95, to me this seems like a good price for headphones from the bracket of design and quality. So if you are after something smart looking, with good quality sound output, that is comfortable to wear. I would definitely suggest checking out more about these if you are in the market for a high-quality pair of headphones.

What do you think of the KEF M100, could you see yourself buying them?
