Published on 01/09/13 at 20:52The M-Audio BX8 D2 studio monitors are affordable and have a clean sound. The bass is not as good as most other monitors in this same price range but everything else is pretty clean. With the bass being so “loose” and it was very hard for us to work with these and put a good mix on our tracks. They just were not working for us. At first I thought it was because we used such good monitors at the studio then came home to these, but either way it didn’t matter because we did not like the bass. Also if you start to get them turned up too loud you will start to hear some other issues with them like light distortion and maybe even blow one of them if you are not too careful.
SOUNDS
I have used many M-Audio products and they all have been great to me, but these just didn’t do it for me at all. I was very scared they would blow because of how they sounded at max volume. I used these for a few days and knew that I could not keep them. Also there was a slight humming or buzzing sound anytime they where plugged up and on. I thought that maybe I had a defective pair of the monitors until I looked them up online and there are a large number of people saying the exact same thing about these monitors, so they had to go back.
OVERALL OPINION
I do not recommend getting these, mainly because of the issues that come with them. There are so many other monitors in this price range that will sound so much better and last you a longer time with no hissing or humming sounds when turned on. For 500 dollars your money can get you a lot more, and more importantly it will get you something that you will be proud of. You will not be happy if you purchase the BX8 D@ Monitors.
