- New Yamaha wireless speakers feature HDMI eARC and CEC connectivity
- Room calibration and broad streaming support are also built in
- Priced at £2,587 (around $3,475 / AU$4,870)
Yamaha has revealed a set of premium wireless hi-fi speakers that look to be serious rivals to the five-star KEF LS50 Wireless II. The new NX-70 speakers incorporate features and materials from Yamaha’s flagship products and musical instruments, and are designed to work with all types of audio, including that from your TV.
They’re also beautiful, with solid aluminum tops, copper accents, and gently rounded cabinets. It’s not just aesthetic: the shape minimizes internal standing waves and the 5mm thick aluminum plate suppresses resonance.
The speakers connect to each other wirelessly, and you can stream to them via Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Google Cast, AirPlay 2, and from other sources via Yamaha’s MusicCast app. The speakers are Roon compatible and include an HDMI eARC/ARC port with CEC control for your TV.
Yamaha NX-70A wireless speakers: main features and prices
The NX-70A speakers feature a 5 and 1/4 inch cone woofer and a 1 and 1/4 inch cone tweeter producing up to 100W and 60W respectively.
The wonderfully named Harmonious Diaphragm system combines Zylon polymer, also used in Yamaha’s flagship speakers, with spruce wood; This is the wood that Yamaha uses in its grand piano soundboards. According to Yamaha, the result is “coherent sound across the entire frequency spectrum” that delivers instruments and vocals “naturally and with remarkable musicality.”
The NX-70As also feature Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer, which is Yamaha’s own room calibration system. It uses an included microphone to measure the sound in your room or other space, then adjusts the sound characteristics accordingly so you don’t have to worry about perfect speaker placement.
The Yamaha NX-70A speakers will be available from July 2026 at a suggested retail price of £2,587 (approximately $3,475 / AU$4,870).
