The KEF Muo: A New Standard in Portable Sound

KEF, the esteemed British audio brand, has announced the release of its new-generation portable Bluetooth speaker, the Muo. Set to launch on September 24, 2025, exclusively for myKEF members, this compact wonder packs the exceptional sound quality that has been the hallmark of KEF's over 60 years of audio innovation. The Muo is designed for users to enjoy high-fidelity music anytime, anywhere, boasting clear audio performance, intricate mid-range frequencies, and strong bass.

Exceptional Sound Quality on the Go

The Muo portable speaker is created to deliver the highest sound quality even while on-the-go. Thanks to Bluetooth® 5.4 aptX Adaptive™, it automatically optimizes sound quality and minimizes latency. With a battery capable of 24 hours of playback, users can enjoy music from morning coffee to late-night winding down without worrying about charging. Moreover, its IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof features allow you to protect the speaker from rain and dust, making it suitable for all types of weather. You can also use the Muo as a hands-free phone speaker, ensuring clear call quality.

Artistic Design and Functional Aesthetics

Enhanced by the renowned industrial designer Ross Lovegrove, the Muo showcases an iconic sculptural silhouette inspired by KEF's high-end Muon speaker. This bold design merges artistic expression with portable functionality, enabling users to engage with both sound and aesthetics in everyday life.

Grace Lo, KEF's President and Global Marketing Officer, said, “The Muo embodies the excellence of audio and aesthetic beauty that we have strived for. This new generation of portable speakers inherits KEF’s acoustic technology, offering HiFi quality sound experiences to more people and seamlessly blending into their daily lives.”

The speaker comes in seven vibrant colors—Silver Dusk, Amber Haze, Orange Moon, Blue Aura, Moss Green, Cocoa Brown, and Midnight Black—allowing you to express your personality while enjoying superior sound quality.

Advanced Technology for Audio Perfection

What sets the Muo apart is KEF's world-class speaker technology that challenges the conventions of portable audio. It features a specially developed high-efficiency race track driver that reproduces powerful bass with low distortion and low energy consumption. The precise bass reproduction is further enhanced by the P-Flex technology used in KEF's high-end subwoofers, preventing distortion while maintaining clarity.

Additionally, a dedicated 19mm dome tweeter enhances high-frequency performance, allowing for natural and clear sound reproduction across various listening environments. The integration of KEF's unique Music Integrity Engine® (MIE), a DSP algorithm, further elevates overall performance, dynamically adapting music signals to enhance the integrity, detail, and accuracy of sound.

Durability and Lasting Power

Made to withstand daily usage, the Muo provides up to 24 hours of playback on a single charge. It fully charges in just 2 hours, and with quick charging capabilities, it can provide up to 3 hours of playback from just a 15-minute charge. To ensure effortless portability, the speaker is equipped with a dedicated carrying strap, seamlessly fitting into your lifestyle.

Engineered with IP67 waterproof and dustproof design, the Muo is prepared for unexpected everyday situations, protecting it from rain, sand, and spills. With an operational temperature range of -20°C to 45°C, the Muo is capable of delivering consistent performance in any climate, from freezing winters to scorching summers.

Smooth Connectivity and User-Friendly Experience

This multi-functional portable speaker supports Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for instant pairing. A USB Type-C port enables wired connectivity with laptops, providing flexibility for various scenarios. For deeper immersion, you can pair two Muo speakers to form a portable stereo HiFi system, creating an extensive sound stage.

Moreover, with Auracast™, multiple Muo speakers can be linked together to enrich the listening experience further. Incorporating a built-in microphone with noise and echo cancellation, your voice will be crystal clear during phone calls, whether for business or family conversations.

Control is intuitive, and the KEF Connect app allows users to manage speaker settings and firmware updates easily.

A Stylish Addition to an Active Lifestyle

The Muo’s iconic design reflects Lovegrove's vision of the high-end Muon speaker in a portable format. It integrates superior sound quality with an aesthetic appeal, optimizing output automatically whether the speaker is placed vertically or horizontally. The durable construction uses high-quality aluminum and recycled plastics, aligning with sustainable practices, and allows users to enjoy music with minimal environmental impact.

Customers wanting to experience the Muo can find it available for pre-sales starting September 24, exclusively for myKEF members. General sales will commence on October 7, 2025, at authorized KEF retailers. For more details about the Muo, visit this link.
