Great value for money

Great sound, EQ buttons on the back. The low freq is good but don’t expect to sound like a subwoofer. It would be better if they had the heat radiator on exterior. They tend to heat a little bit after some listening sessions. I have them since 2 years. Conected to a DJ controller. Now to a Turntable. They sound amazing on the records. For a buget monitors they are a Go!

Very good product

Bought these for studio use, great clarity and using them has improved my mixes. The price is spot on and they look great if that’s important to you. Would definitely recommend.

Buenos primeros monitores!

Tengo 3 niños y buscaba unos monitores para tareas básicas de edición. Como era de esperar, los dos monitores tienen ya todos los conos hundidos, así que me confirma que hice bien en no ir a algo más caro. El sonido, en una sala no acondicionada, es digno. Lo uso en ocasiones para dar clases de bajo y a un volumen bajo no distorsionan.

En fin, por el precio creo que está mucho mejor que otras opciones de primeras marcas con conos de 3" y 4".

Excellent budget monitor speakers

These may not blow your mind if you have had better setups, but for a little bedroom studio, these are perfect.

Features are listed so no point in sharing again. I'm no pro by any means, but these have made mixing a lot more enjoyable due to the much flatter response than my basic LG surround set that I had been using until settling on these.

Definitely worth it. If you are in North America, like myself, make sure you get a transformer to switch from 110-120v to the 230v necessary.

Best monitors at this price point, hands down.

They're not the best monitors ever, or even the best monitors of their category. But at this price point, they punch way above their price. If you're on a budget, get these.

They do exactly what they're supposed to

I bought them a couple of weeks ago for composing work mainly as the room is pretty small, the monitors should have the proper size as well and decided to go with 5", and this pair seamed like a good choice for a couple of reasons:

price point - very affordable, you don't don't have to break the bank to get them.

sound - they sound very similar to Yamaha's HS5 at lower price. They have a simmilar mid-range scoop and tight bass which makes them very good in working with mid focused instruments, voice and so on.

Cons: I wish there was a bass boost knob. Also, I did a couple of measurements using RoomEQWizard to test the bass roll of knob and from frequency response the impact of that knob is minimal.

Overall I recommend this product to anyone who starts working in studio or on studio stuff and have a small room like myself. Comparing to other 5" monitors, these have cleaner mids and the highs are more balanced.

Amazing value for money!

Really amazing studio monitors. Got those to replace my 10-years old Tascams and I was very happy! Powerful, clean, clear and in a very reasonable price. Definitely recommend them for home studio applications.

Best budget Monitors!

I bought these monitors a year ago, and they sound amazing! You don't even need a sub monitor. The sound is pure, the finish looks good and professional. It's perfect for beginners like me and for rooms from 15m2 to 30m2. I really recommend those!
