Excellent value for money
audiouser 03.01.2020
Excellent value for money, with a strong sound stage and a good amount of bass - not completely flat so perfect for casual listening - music, movies, etc. They also work well in larger rooms as a portable audio system as they're not too heavy so you can carry them around on your shoulder in the Gator G-STUDIOMON1 bag also available here if you don't want to buy a full PA system.

They do have a noticable hiss which is fine in my use case but you will be able to hear it in a smaller room when nothing is playing. If that bothers you seek a different product. The hiss is constant at all volumes. Also worth noting don't try turning these up to 10 and play films through without normalization, if you hit something that peaks the audio output like an explosion the speakers briefly cut off and the driver restarts. 6-7 is the sweet spot for me, but will depend on your audio source.

Build quality is okay but don't expect anything premium, things aren't glued flush for example. These speakers are much more about the sound for the price than overall build quality.

Works well with the JBL LSR310S subwoofer if you want extended bass response (or added earthquakes) in your setup.

Best Bang for buck studio monitors you can find
Ben Nathan 11.02.2022
Best sound I have ever experienced from a speaker - take them with the speaker stand package and you have an unbeatable deal. I got it shipped to Dubai/UAE with no issues at all - and it only took 3 weeks. (at the cheapest shipping option)

Audio quality is astounding - perfect mid and highs and the bass is unexpectedly good - I did invest in the LSR 310S so this will take it to the next level (waiting for stock availability). Be sure to order them all together and take advantage of the excellent shipment costs.

These should be an industry standard
_Nikon_ 09.07.2023
There are simply no contenders at this price for near field monitors. Big enough to have a nice low end, but not so big as to become a nuissance, or too heavy.

The only downside is that they are rear ported, which may not be useful, depending on how and where you want to set them up. If you're going to set them up against a wall, get the KRK Rokit RP5 G4, otherwise, I'd still take these.

Nice entry level monitors!
Jack85 29.01.2020
Took these monitors as I was looking for moderately priced, decent quality speakers primarily for listening to music on my computer & guitar practice at low volume levels with occasional recording.

I was expecting a good quality sound on all volume levels (especially apartment building acceptable levels), and I am happy to say that the speakers did not disappoint.

You can find here in the reviews and also the forums that there is an audible noise when the speakers are on, and I can confirm that that is indeed the case. Truth be told, this is only audible when there is no music being played and unless you are hypersensitive to this stuff, you will probably barely notice it.

Pros:
+ Good sound quality on all volume levels
+ Good EQ to tweak the sound to your room
+ Auto stand-by (can be switched off)
+ Moderately priced

Cons:
- Audible hiss when speakers are on
- Auto stand-by can kick in even when music is playing (at low levels though)

Great for the price
epasym 05.01.2021
As an inexperienced user of such monitors, pretty much my only complaint is the glossy finish on the front that collects too much dust.
It sounds great and is very feature rich for how cheap it is.
However, if you don't have a lot of space you should know that they are much bigger than you'd expect if you have never bought monitors before, and I'm assuming a lot of potential buyers have not.

I use my pair for listening to and mixing music primarily. I have them connected to a scarlett 2i2. At first they sounded extremely bassy, but after a quick look through the manual, I realised all I had to do to fix that was flip a switch on the back, so do read the manual if you don't know what you're doing.
They're very easy to set up, but you will need to have the equipment to connect them to your device, so look up what connections you need and get the proper cables, or you might end up with a big bulky paperweight.
For first time buyers, do keep in mind that you need to buy them individually, meaning if you order one from here, you only get one speaker.

Finally, one thing that annoys me slightly from time to time is the low hum they make when on max volume. I always have them on max volume and control it through my interface, but you can probably just use them differently and not have that problem.

My very first venture into speakers
David_C 14.05.2020
I know nothing of studios or sound recording. I seen my first XLR cable last week haha! - I watched some videos and these were recommended. They are absolutely incredible....

I got 30 days free of Amazon Music HD and I have been on it non-stop! Re-listening to songs all over again. The best sounding stuff has been movie and game soundtracks, makes my hairs stand on end!

Absolutely blown away! - They are perfect for little newbies like me as well. Have a built in amp thing, self powered. You don't need to worry, just plug it in and you're good.

I am getting a buzzing, but I have a XLR to 3.5 mm jack straight into my computer motherboard, cause I don't know any better haha! But once the music gets going you don't notice it much.

These speakers have opened a whole world to me. I am now looking at USB DACs and flac storage. Seems that music CD quality (44.1kHz 16-bit?) is more than enough. So I have started looking into CDs more.

Blown my mind - I put quality at 5 stars, they are probably not the best, they are amazing though!! BUY THEM!

Great entry level monitors
ChillYourTts 29.01.2022
Clear, quite balanced for the price. Low frequencies are not overwhelming, mid range is clear.
I mostly use them for HQ music listening and light music production.
Beware, they are quite bulky, bigger than KRK Rikit 5 G3s, so make sure you have adequate space on your desk. Also make sure, that you don't put them against the wall, due to the port being located on the back.
Auto off feature is a lifesaver, because the power amp hiss would be an issue.

Totally worth it!
Colm McDonagh 09.05.2020
I have purchased these monitors back in early March and was amazed as soon as I opened the box. Crisp, clear, and reliable from day one.

Pros:
Sleek and stylish design suitable for anywhere.

Wide compatibility for any interface with XLR and TRS inputs.

Independent LF and HF control to tweak the monitors to the acoustics of your room.

Durable Build wich will last for years to come.

Cons:
I can't think of any!

Best sound for that price
Pablitto 02.10.2020
Hello everyone!
Use:
I'm not a pro beatmaker. I'm a filmmaker and I need to record voice and I work with sounds very often. Sometimes I do make some music, and very often I listen to music.

Pros:
I can tell you that the sound of this two little babies is very-very good. It is VERY detailed, it is very CLEAR, and amount of BASE is unbelievable, there are really much BASS!

Cons:
From the other point I can say that they have a little idle noise, putting volume to 50% solved that problem, but I can still hear them if I put my ear close to them.
I use them in rather small (10sq meters) room. But the amount of volume and sound is absolutely enough (sometimes I even want to reduce bass a little).

I used before:
Last monitors I used were second-hand BEHRINGER TRUTH B2030A, but they are dull, maybe cause of usage, I don't know, but the difference was big.

Conclusion:
If you are pro you don't need them. But if you want a crystal sound for a very low budget (believe me 125 euros for one speaker is very low budget) take them and your ears WILL BE satisfied!
Thanks!
