- Yamaha’s new wireless speakers have HDMI eARC and CEC connection
- Room calibration and broad streaming support are also on board
- Price £2,587 (approx $3,475 / AU$4,870)
Yamaha has unveiled a set of high-end wireless hi-fi speakers that look set to be a serious rival to the five-star KEF LS50 Wireless II. The new NX-70 speakers bring features and materials from Yamaha’s flagship products and musical instruments, and are designed to work with all kinds of sound – including from your TV.
They also look great with solid aluminum tops, copper accents and gently rounded cabinets. It’s not just cosmetic: the shape minimizes internal standing waves and the 5 mm thick aluminum plate suppresses resonance.
The speakers connect wirelessly to each other and you can stream to them via Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Google Cast, AirPlay 2 and from other sources via Yamaha’s own MusicCast app. The speakers are Roon compatible and include an HDMI eARC/ARC port with CEC control for your television.
Yamaha NX-70A Wireless Speakers: Key Features and Prices
The NX-70A speakers feature a 5 and 1/4-inch Harmonious Diaphragm Cone woofer and a 1 and 1/4-inch Harmonious Diaphragm Dome tweeter, outputting up to 100W and 60W respectively.
The wonderfully named Harmonious Diaphragm system blends Zylon polymer, which is also used in Yamaha’s flagship speakers, with spruce wood; it is the wood Yamaha uses in its grand piano soundboards. According to Yamaha, the result is “a consistent tone across the entire frequency spectrum,” delivering instruments and vocals “naturally and with remarkable musicality.”
The NX-70As also feature the Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer, which is Yamaha’s own room calibration system. It uses an included microphone to measure the sound of your room or other room and then adjusts the sonic characteristics accordingly, so you don’t have to worry about perfect speaker placement.
The Yamaha NX-70A speakers will be available from July 2026 with an RRP of £2,587 (approx. $3,475 / AU$4,870).
