The black, leather-effect pads cushion your ears with pillow-soft memory foam and the precision-milled, brushed aluminium body is the height of comfort and cool, making even the B&W P5s look a little down-at-heel.
The build is lightweight and the cable is tangle- resistant, and while the cans are pretty big, the adjustable headband and multi-directional “smart hinge”, which conforms to the shape of your ears, mean there’s never any issues over fit. The hinge also allows the M500s to fold up, packing neatly away into the supplied carry case.
You’d expect nothing less than superb sound quality at this price from this manufacturer and the M500s deliver in spades. The 40mm drivers pump out a rich and rewarding sound across the board, with a healthy amount of bass and well-defined top notes. There’s practically no sound leakage either, thanks to the mounds of memory foam.
The KEF M500s are better than good, they’re great. They sound better than a pair of high-end Beats by Dr Dre, and also look much less ridiculous when worn by a not-terribly-gangsta, 40-something in a suit, while the luxury build and peerless audio mean you don’t miss flashier features. KEF’s been slow to join the cans market, but with the M500 it’s made one hell of an entrance.
LOVE Excellent sound quality with oodles of detail and power. Memory foam boosts comfort, quells sound leakage. Classic looks
HATE Not what you’d call a bargain. Occasional headband slippage
NTN SAYS Accomplished audio + high-end materials + restrained design = cans worthy of a £250 price tag
