Rokit RP5 G4 : Very decent monitors - versatile and good sound.

4 years ago

The monitors are very good for what they are (and the size and price).

Exactly what i expected when it comes to build quality, sound and settings.

The display at the back with the volume level and room adjustment is a very nice addition, specially at the price. The volume setting is very fine, so you can do minimal adjustments and not just hope that the usual rotary volume rocker is good enough.

Sound is pretty neutral, as expected - even more than expected. Low end is decent for such tiny and affordable monitors. Do not expect any wonders here, 5" woofer can't go really low and produce enough low end to really surprise anyone. This is why a subwoofer like the KRK S10G4 is recommended if you work with electronic music or if you use the monitors at your DJ desk and you want the bass to be powerful.

Front ports are also nice when you plan to place the monitors against the wall.

Minor issues outside of the obvious missing low end (can't expect more at this size and price) are the very very short power cables - from the comfortable monitor stand they barely reach the floor. Of course you can change them, but would be nice to have longer cables out of the box.
