BANG & OLUFSEN Unveils Beosound Premiere: A New Benchmark for Powerful, Immersive Soundbar Luxury
Okay, so... Yeah, I find it very, terribly ugly (especially if compared to Stage or something like the Devialet Dione or KEF XIO - personally I'm not a massive fan of the Theatre design either but it's waay better than this). But I'd be okay with that. Thing is, it is basically only as powerful as S

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...
Final update: I removed the KW2 completely and connected the KC62 to the XIO using the subwoofer cable I bought. And now everything works. The subwoofer is properly recognized, the setup behaves normally, and the KC62 works as expected. No pairing issues, no lost sync after idle, no weird wireless b

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...
I finally got the KW2 to pair, but in a really weird way. Resetting the XIO didn’t fix it. The KW2 kept blinking cyan/white. What eventually triggered the sync was going into KEF Connect > Subwoofer > KW2 firmware update. The update itself is broken and spins forever, but launching that update someh

KEF KW2 Stock
After having used Samsung's high-end soundbars over the past decade, I purchased the KEF XIO soundbar along with a KEF KC62 subwoofer and connected them via a KW2, and I can attest that the XIO soundbar is in a class unto itself, but I've had nothing but problems with the KC62/KW2 combo compared to

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...
I reset the XIO soundbar, but that didn’t solve the issue by itself. The KW2 was still blinking cyan/white and would not pair normally. However, I eventually managed to get it to sync in a very strange way. I went into KEF Connect > Subwoofer > KW2 firmware update. The update itself never completes

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...
The XIO eventually went into idle mode, and after that I lost the KW2 sync again. I tried the same “workaround” as before — launching the KW2 firmware update from KEF Connect — but this time it did not bring the sync back. So at this point I honestly have no idea how this system is supposed to work.

KEF x10 and SVS SB1000 Pro
Are you talking about the KEF XIO soundbar? If so, I would hold off on buying it for now. It has plenty of firmware issues that need to be sorted out. KEF says they are working on a fix. But never buy a product based on future promises. Only on what they are able to actually deliver today. Will I ha

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread
Has anyone else had Bluetooth connectivity or pairing issues with the XIO? I've been fighting a recurring issue, where after a Bluetooth device has been paired with the XIO, it works for a period of around 1 - 14 days, but seemingly randomly during that timeframe, when trying to re-connect to the XI

KEF Xio losing Google/Chromecast connection after switching songs.
I have the exact same issue with my XIO, using Google Cast with an Android phone. No idea how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just an issue with the XIO. My Wi-Fi router works otherwise flawlessly with other devices and the internet connection is more than fast enough for music streaming. KEF support w
