If space is limited the Q350 will not limit your musical enjoyment, a Uni-Q driver and clever port design let it open up the sound.
With KEF's signature Uni-Q driver array and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) port, the Q350s deliver detailed natural sound with high clarity and tight bass.
Priced as a PAIR.
Magnetic grilles sold separately.
Product Features
"Sit anywhere" Uni-Q sound
The Uni-Q driver array places the tweeter in the centre of the midrange and bass cone, bringing the acoustic ideal of a single point source closer than ever. The result, enhanced by KEF's 'tangerine' waveguide over the tweeter, is a more accurate three-dimensional sound that's dispersed evenly throughout the room.
Tweaking the tweeter
With the addition of the damped tweeter loading tube providing a gentle termination of sound produced from the back of the tweeter, lower treble performance is improved dramatically and a new low-distortion inductor on the crossover provides cleaner bass.
A word about drums and bass
The Q Series reproduces the nuances of bass instruments with ease. With a larger roll surround and new suspension KEF drivers produce cleaner bass at high volumes.
A new cone structure improves midrange clarity and an enhanced Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) with a new surround and rear suspension enhances bass quality.
New system design
Putting the Uni-Q driver in its own sealed cabinet reduces the load on the cone and increases clarity and detail while delivering cleaner bass. Midrange clarity is enhanced by driver improvements that mean the DC blocking capacitor to be eliminated from the crossover, allowing a more natural roll-off between drivers.

Audiophile Sound Through Superior EngineeringThese speakers are among the best value for the money on the market IMO. I have tried a number of options in this price range and the KEF Q350 is superior: wide and detailed soundstage; high frequencies are nicely presented without sounding harsh; the mid range is full and allows you to listen to a wide range of music genres for long periods without any fatigue; and, the lower frequencies go down to the 40 Hz range and roll off very slowly below that, producing a warm and beefy/rich tone even at low volumes. I do not use a sub as a result. These speakers are easy to drive: I am using the Aiyima A07 class D paired with a Schiit Modi 3+ DAC that I am streaming high res audio to via my laptop. The sound is FULL bodied, clear, and I have cranked it up well beyond 90 DB without ANY distortion. Even with full woofer excursion, the sound does not break up! Thank you KEF for a well engineered product that I will enjoy for years to come.

Unreal value for moneyThese speakers are truly remarkable for their size and price. They bring shame to so many larger speakers setups that honestly it's quite embarrassing. I am thrilled with these speakers, they will outlast my ears.

Like Q350 better than LS50For my ears, I like KEF Q350 better than LS50. LS50 has more resolution, but the slight warm tonality and abundant bass of Q350 (for the size) fit my personal taste better. Also, Q350s are way easier to drive. Don't expect LS50 will shine with your sub $1,000 electronics.

Marvelous value for such a fine speakerPurchased a pair be the rear speakers of the HT system. In March of 2021 I purchased a very lightly used pair of R5 speakers and their matching R2c from the original owner.
The Q350 is an excellent sounding speaker on its own. Worked into the now complete system the performance of the HT system is a true force of nature.
One evening I setup the Q350 set as the main speakers and had a few friends over. They didn’t realize the R5 speakers weren’t playing until I pointed it out.
The Q 350 is a remarkably well engineered speaker at a very good price.Posted on

Great all around!Downsizing has forced me to sell my Magneplaner 1.6's.
I've used Magneplaners on my main system for 30+ years and was dreading having to settle for a "little box" speaker.
I have a pair of Q100's on a secondary system and I was blown away by their detail and realism but found them lacking in the lower mid-bass areas.
When I first heard my Q350's I was very impressed. The larger driver provided plenty of bass and mid-range and the detail, sound stage and imaging was amazing!
Thanks to the Q350's, I made the transition from 5 1/2 foot tall speakers to stand mounts with no regrets.
Thank you, Kef!Posted on

Amazing design!Moving Klipsch floor standing speakers to my store, and needed a smaller set to better fit my room. Wood grain color complements my vintage Sansui, as well as bring out the timbre of most electronic LPs. Definitely will purchase a home theater set for my Yamaha!
Why would a grill be extra?Posted on

Great!These speakers are among the best in class in this price bracket. For me, they sound wonderful.
Clear, precise, easily integrated with other components.
They look stunning too. I understand why they're not shipped with covers, who want to cover that lovely face!?
Please note they're quite deep for a bookshelf speaker, if you're looking for something compact...Posted on

Target HJ 24inch stands, and the detail, punch
and clarity is superb!
Well done KEF, I am totally happy!!!

| "The Q350 is also slightly more sensitive—87dB vs 85dB—and its crossover network is characterized by gentler filter slopes and, concomitantly, a lower parts count. Although HR preferred various aspects of the performance of the more expensive KEF—in particular its "more forceful and detailed" bass and its "balanced purity"—he found himself admiring the Q350s for their "above-average force and texture" and their lively, open, consistently "direct" sound. Herb's conclusion said it all: "Early in this review process I realized that KEF's Q350 is not the poor person's LS50, but has a unique goodness of its own.” |

| "Early in this review process I realized that KEF’s Q350 is not the poor person’s LS50, but has a unique goodness of its own...The KEF Q350 is a lively and open-sounding loud- speaker. It delivers appealing tone, taut and satisfying bass, excellent boogie factor, and a feeling of sophistication—all at a very low price. Highly recommended.” |

| Q350 Speaker Review |
| "The Q350s are as versatile as they are remarkable. As a side or rear surround, the Q350 speakers are authoritative, delivering deeper tones for aggressive sound effects and music (there's a reason Dolby adds full range speakers to its theatrical Atmos systems) so you don't need to rely on one or two subs. As stereo or front channel speakers, the Q350s sound like towers; they move a lot of air and are so transparent. Add in a subwoofer, and they're even better. If you don't have the room for towers or want to save money on a Q Series system, the Q350 might be the way to go.” |

| Q350 AVS Forum Best Speakers of 2017 |
| "The Q350 offers an affordable option for those seeking the sonic advantages of the concentric Uni-Q driver. When playing full range at modest volume levels, a pair of Q350s provide an accurate and engaging audiophile listening experience. And when used with a subwoofer and bass management, they become high-performance satellites that can play loud and clean. They are well-behaved and sound neutral without the need for equalization. If you appreciate speakers that don’t “tint” the sound, you’ll enjoy the Q350s.” |

| "A major highlight of the Q350s is the presentation of vocals. Whether it’s John Lennon, Enya, Bob Marley, Al Jourgensen, Bjork, Elvis, or Lil’ Wayne, there was a verisimilitude to the presentation that qualifies them as Hi-Fi speakers and not merely 'good'.” |
