Good Vakue - Great Sound

I picked these up on a holiday sale and I am very impressed. They are cleaner and fuller sounding than my KRK Classic 5 (which are the same size). Very accurate and detailed across the spectrum with a wide sweet spot. You could use these to fill up a room with sound, but of course with their balanced-only inputs they are really meant for studio work. JBL makes great stuff and has done so for decades. This is one of their best products considering the unbelievable value.

Yes, the Yamaha have better sound quality but you need an EQ and sub in my experience. These are perfect for my bedroom basic studio where I mainly listen to music, play video games, and make music. Very happy with this purchase.

I was going from a 3.5" monitor to these 5". Although I knew they would be a nice upgrade to the sound quality, but WOW!! The JBL's are better than I expected. The packaging was perfect, and the delivery was perfect, as they arrived 3 days ahead of schedule. Thanks for the seamless transaction.

The low end is very defined consistently, the high end is not distorted at full volume, and the mids are solid. Would recommend to beginners interested in becoming professional

Jamás creí que fueran tan buenos, graves potentes, agudos nítidos y claros, medios con cuerpoSin duda voy por los de 8" en algún futuro, te los recomiendo si son tus primeros monitores, y si no también, bastante planos y calidad excelente, otro nivel

La calidad del sonido es absolutamente maravillosa. Para un cuarto de unos 5 metros cuadrados van sobradisimos aunque siento que los bajos están algo pronunciados, pero creo se puede arreglar eso con los ajustes de perillas que traen detrás, tendría que checarlo, pero de primeras la calidad es asombrosa, los amé

These speakers sound incredible. I use them for everything—composing music, listening to music, watching movies & videos, gaming, etc. and they have been nothing short of perfect for this price. The bass could be a bit more accurate but that’s what a subwoofer is for. And even with that said, the bass is surprisingly accurate for a speaker of this size. I haven’t had any sound issues, and there is no crackle after turning down the volume on each speaker to a reasonable level. I also have to mention that I’m a big fan of the sleek, understated design.I’m not sure why other reviews mention an annoying startup sound. I bought these thinking that would be the case, but the speakers I received are silent on startup.

Amazing sound clarity. These are my 1st monitor speakers i ever bought for my home studio setup. I compared to the Yamaha HS5 which sounded a bit harsher in the midrange and not as clear in the bass. I love the JBL's clarity in the mids and the tight bass. Im not sure about the effectiveness of the trim controls on the back, for now just leave both on 0 as that's when the sound is mostly flat and balanced to my ear.Oh and to everyone that complained this listing is a SCAM and that you only get ONE speaker... i had no such problem. Mine came as a pair. Best bang for your buck i think for quality monitors

Typical JBL build quality! Solid, robust and just well put together, with awesome audio quality.. In that category there are a lot of players, but JBL has a handle on studio monitors and full range flat response monitors since forever. These are no exception.I needed a pair of studio monitors with as close to FRFR as I could get... This was to use for my guitar and modeling amps, which require this type of product. These are not speakers for typical audio system, but rather designed as studio monitors and really more for this type of application.They're very close to my Yamaha HS8's, which are as close to FRFR as one can get, but they're a bit smaller, more compact with a bit less bass, and under half the price. I needed something more portable as I'm going to use these when I travel. They fit the bill and are very accurate in terms of sound reproduction.Highly recommended

So, I had to wait for my XLR to TRS cables to come in along with a power conditioner to make sure everything went smoothly before making my review. First off, I'll say these things are amazing! Went to Guitar Center and tested a bunch of monitors for about an hour and these stood out in MANY ways. When I purchased these here and got them into my home, I plugged them in to make sure they at least powered on (to which they did). When I did this, I heard a slight hiss. Considering this, I bought the power conditioner, plugged that in, plugged the speakers into my M-Audio Pro Duo, and not a single hiss. The sound space is very clear! Makes me wonder why I've been working off of my AKG headphones for so long. If you're wondering about getting the $100 monitors or these for a couple hundred more, do it. There IS a difference. I've heard it personally with them side by side.Recommendation:1. Buy these.2. Buy 2 XLR to 1/4" TRS Cables3. Buy Pyle power conditioner (or whatever brand)4. Buy/Use an interface (M-Audio, Scarlett, whatever)5. (Optional) Buy the foam pads, depending on where you're putting these. Sturdy built speakers, but maybe not so much can be said as the same for your desk/shelf/whatever.
