- Powerful and immersive stereo sound for music, movies and gaming, anywhere in the home.
- Features aptX™ HD Bluetooth® connectivity for wireless streaming of high resolution-quality audio (up to 24-bit/48kHz) and native 24bit/192kHz compatibility via a USB connection to a computer.
- Features array of inputs to connect games console, TV, turntable, set-top box, CD player and portable music players.

Immersive sound for music, movies and gaming
Whether listening to music, watching TV or movies or gaming, the M20’s advanced driver technology is designed to produce low-distortion, accurate but highly immersive stereo sound. Powered by a built-in amplifier providing 65 watts of digital power, the 22mm tweeter is decoupled to minimise any internal vibrations that can adversely affect the audio, while the 125mm mid/bass driver and rear-firing reflex port in each speaker combine to deliver a sound of outstanding balance and drive. From deep but nuanced low-frequencies to its crisp, attacking highs, and with a midrange that’s simply packed with information, the M20 is always a dynamic but poised and engaging listen.
High-resolution wireless stereo experience
Hear your favourite music as close to the artist always intended: in full stereo, high-resolution fidelity. Featuring Bluetooth® 5.0 for an ultra-stable connection and aptX™ HD wireless technology, users can wirelessly stream high resolution audio (up to 24-bit/48kHz) from any compatible device such as smartphone, tablet, laptop and network streamer, while listen to their favourite tunes streamed from popular music services such as Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Qobuz.
The flexible M20 is just about the latest wireless technology. It features enough inputs to let your TV, games console, set-top box, turntable or anything else you fancy join in the high-resolution stereo experience. There’s also subwoofer output in case you need to really shake the room. No matter what you want to listen to, M20 can handle it.
Shaped to sound better
Featuring award-winning cabinet technology, every element of the M20’s design is specified to deliver an optimal audio performance. The beautifully sculpted cabinets use Q Acoustics’ proprietary P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing to support the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened. The result is an exceptionally rigid cabinet that eliminates internal standing waves to improve the focus of the stereo image and give the soundstage more accuracy than ever before. The grille’s curved contours are also designed to disperse any tweeter activity, keeping unwanted reflections to a minimum.
Always in the right place
It’s easy to set-up the M20 so the system is always performing to its maximum, no matter where it is in the room. As well as being able to designate the powered speaker as either the left or right channel (to make accessing mains power as simple as possible), there’s also an EQ switch to let the system know if each speaker is positioned in a corner, against a wall or in free space so its digital sound processing can work its magic and optimise the audio performance. And with stands and wall-brackets also available, M20 will always bring your music, movies and games to life wherever it is placed.

I had been thinking about buying a new speaker system for a while, when I found this Q Acoustics M20 HD wireless music system and decided to try it out. I was surprised by the level of sound quality, as well as the number of features and options! I also love the clean modern design and the ability to stream music via Bluetooth or AUX cable.

This is an amazing system! It’s very easy to set up, and the sound quality is phenomenal. I’ve been using it every day and am really impressed with it. The build quality is superb and everything I’ve tried on it sounds great. And the price is right too. Highly recommended.

These speakers are amazing. I was planning on buying Q acoustics 3020i and an external amplifier. Then Mr. Anil suggested I buy these instead. These are basically same as Q acoustics 3020i but without the need for an external amplifier. The input options are really nice. Bluetooth Aptx HD is decent too. Connected my PC with USB cable(printer cable) and it supports Hi res music . The bass is decent but I felt an external subwoofer really takes these speakers to another level. I got the Yamaha SW050 subwoofer and they work perfectly. Highly recommended.

I bought it as a standby while my amp went for repairs. Coming from a Rega ATC combination, I was sceptical initially. But this piece has been a revelation. VFM and excellent for a normal room. Recommended!

Better than any sound bar. Best’streaming via aptx hd bluetooth with apple music, Spotify etc. bought 2 of these as the first’one was taken away by an audiophile friend of mine, as he liked the performance and as an additional system for the living room. Also this is recommended as the best speakers of the year by British audiophile Mr Tarun.

Got the Q Acoustics M20 HD wireless speakers to replace my ageing ‘Creative Inspire’ speakers that I was using with my computers.
Sound quality-wise, it is a great pair of stereo speakers. Very well suited for a small to medium-sized room, where the speakers are located at arm’s distance, like on the computer table. The various connectivity options are a great plus. I use it with wired connections to my personal laptop (USB) and work laptop (Analog). I also stream music occasionally from my mobile via BT.
My only gripe with this system is that it lacks a physical volume control to change volume quickly. The Vol +/- buttons on the remote and the speaker are slow to respond. Additionally, separate physical buttons for input source would have been better than the single button provided, which cycles through the various sources.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Q Acoustics M20 HD active speakers. Having moved from int amp/bookshelf to int amp/floor stander, and then minimized to dac/amp/headphones, I was looking for an allrounder with connection options, and found the Q M20. I am using it with bluetooth, USB from laptop and optical from TV. Family loves it!
Only wish it had wifi connectivity.
Go for it!!
