How to use the LUMIN App

KKBOX music streaming

KKBOX is a digital music streaming service that gives you access to 100 million songs and podcasts from artists all over the world. Depending on region and subscription (see notes below), KKBOX supports up to 24-bit 192kHz high resolution streaming.

KKBOX is available on LUMIN models P1 Mini / T3 / D3 / U2 / U2 Mini.

Note: KKBOX lossless is only available in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. In Japan or Malaysia, KKBOX is lossy (and therefore Spotify might be a better option)

Note: KKBOX fixes the display language in the App. (e.g. music categories and track and artist names). If sign-up occurs in Taiwan or Hong Kong, language is Chinese. If sign-up occurs in Singapore or Malaysia, language is English.
