KH 80 DSP : Neutral sound, good directivity, no hissing

4 years ago

I use these monitors for everyday casual listening. I went through 2 pairs of monitors before these and sent both back due to hissing sound without any signal (self noise). Neumanns are one of the best in terms of self noise although if they are close in a quiet room you can still hear the slight hiss.

The sound is neutral, pleasing and not fatiguing. Directivity is good, meaning you can have more freedom in positioning relative to speakers without losing neutral sound. Due to small drivers there is no sub bass so having a subwoofer is necessary for full spectrum monitoring.
