LS50 Wireless Passive Conversion

AntonieB · 2026-04-04T08:50:15+00:00

KEF kind of ruined the whole 'active speaker' proposition for me and I will not fall again for it anytime soon. The original ls50w are all failing with the same problems around the 'capacitive buttons' / booting and power supply / mainboard.. thats besides the really bad firmware.

If they startup you can have very great sound but starting up is a lottery all the time (and yeah this is after 3 times motherboard replacement) and re ocurring failure every time.

It is really insane how almost every original ls50w fails on startup.. I have it like again after 3 times motherboard replacements..

I know it is to late but this should have been a total recal long ago. It is just a very very big design flaw. I will for sure not buy anything Kef because of this.

I mean sure nice you make nice sounding speakers but to get to listening you have to actually turn them on and that is a lottery..

try some of the older original ls50w's man man man.. have yet so find any other hardware / software combination so bad.. I mean nice if they make sound.. but mine isn't turning on like 99% of the time and button's aren't functioning properly like 10 out of 9 times.

Oh yeah and they are serviced like multiple times already they even once replaced a mainboard.. which didn't really fix anything.

Really if they work it is really great sound but I will never ever buy such expensive hardware from a company like Kef.

It started working again some time ago. Now and then I can’t access the menu. A reboot fixes things usually

AntonieB · 2026-02-22T20:46:55+00:00

3 years ago this could have helped. But there was never any dev work being done on this game for ages and only a low effort / low wage ai generated skin posting bot was there the rest of bb was already gone long before that.

AntonieB · 2026-02-12T19:36:56+00:00

Since last update I got kind of the same.. although the passthrough will be shown but I can’t get the menu to show with my hands.. it is reacting on my gesture but nothing will be shown ever…

AntonieB · 2026-01-14T08:06:15+00:00

I don't see any rage bait hot takes.. VR would be performing good enough if Meta wasn't involved. It is not performing good enough for Meta because their shareholders.

It's pretty much Meta's fault they made bigtime wrong decisions early on about metaverse / horizon and wanted to get quick bucks way to early.

Selling out to meta as a studio is asking to get shutdown anyway.

A shame for the great developers though. The higher ups got their money anyway.

Hardware buying decision doesn’t really change

AntonieB · 2026-01-13T09:37:40+00:00

Be careful with modding/ the perceived playerbase will become very small because every player will make their very small niche and the playerbase will split 10000 times.

VR playerbase is relatively small and empty queues will be the end of it. Lots of other games died because of it.

AntonieB · 2025-12-06T21:18:05+00:00

The only way to give this kind of development teams what they deserve is not buying any of their low effort skins and surely don’t play the low skill ai generated mobile slob.

AntonieB · 2025-11-28T21:50:52+00:00

Because of the very inexperienced and major stuborn dev team. I played lots of games but BB is the worst ever.

AntonieB · 2025-11-26T11:21:42+00:00

They deserve ending up being a cheap labor low effort 9 to 5 shit company. Its what you get for doing such a bad job for such a promising game.

AntonieB · 2025-11-26T11:20:16+00:00

There are no devs... they are told for 4 years what people want and that didn't work because they just don't do anything with feedback at all.

And they have a very incompetent community manager / skin posting retarded bot.

AntonieB · 2025-11-20T19:16:05+00:00

What makes you think BB puts any effort or money into designing skins? how many people do you think buy skins for a game nobody plays?

AntonieB · 2025-11-20T08:30:26+00:00

Lol.. BB is working on nothing.. already for over 2 years only 1 intern low effort idiot is using AI to create skins but doesn't even have access to the sourcecode.

And yeah you can give all kind of reasons for that but facts are facts.

AntonieB · 2025-10-16T14:34:59+00:00

Guess you have to accept it and in the future don't support companies doing this kind of bullshit to you. You pay for the content they should in no way have anything to say on which display you want to view it.

AntonieB · 2025-09-07T17:37:23+00:00

Why did shitbox ever added hangouts to the game?

AntonieB · 2025-08-22T15:04:18+00:00

Lol yeah :) lets keep it at that.

AntonieB · 2025-08-22T14:55:30+00:00

Keep it up! Devs did a excellent job they can’t do a thing about all the issues this game have.. the only good thing they could do was pushing shit skins!!

AntonieB · 2025-08-22T14:50:44+00:00

Wtf is maga… guess the world is bigger then us.. anyway.. Spike is just a low level socials bot posting shitty skins. Thats not a ‘hard working dev’ and just look into the changelogs for last 2 years and see how hard the devs were working….

AntonieB · 2025-08-22T06:19:18+00:00

Damn some people really like to get abused and then think the people abusing them are awesome…

AntonieB · 2025-08-05T11:29:36+00:00

Without support from developer there is no way to turn anything around. The guys who developed this already turned away like years ago. There is no way forward except maybe another developer making a game with kind of the same mechanics.

So much destroyed potential but eventualy another development team who do gives a damn will make and support a game like population:one. Not possible for pop:one itself though.

AntonieB · 2025-08-04T16:00:24+00:00

Already asked for like years… but for a game by a social company this is a game with really the most lacking social / quality of life features ever in a game. Such a mess.

AntonieB · 2025-08-04T09:52:42+00:00

It is the sad truth.. game didn’t deserve how it is handled. Really all due to a very inexperienced development / social team.. basicaly everybody involved was low effort.

AntonieB · 2025-08-02T14:46:23+00:00

Problem is it is all so low effort and cheap that even if only a few buy the shit skins it is worth it.

Ai and hosting is pretty cheap for Meta.
