All user reviews for the Yamaha HS80M

After having seduced test Seriously.
Home studio use, creation, and now they are so mixing property.
Couples with an RME Fireface 400.
Auralex pice soundproof.

The EQ adjustments on the rear panel let diffrentes well adapted to the situations. Especially if you are obligs to place nearly a wall or corner. It is all the same prfrable optimize their investment in order to avoid any correction.

Well located it is perfect.


SONORITS

These speakers are really clean. Positioned on stands they correctly restaurants account for the entire sound spectrum.
The main default my taste, is the lack of gnac the bottom mdium well as below 60 Hz. But with a SECOND Contrle, ca rolls impeccable.

Good transient, acute purposes.

For stro picture, I still have not figured out how we could have had a bad seats with 2 speakers properly.


NOTICE GLOBAL

Now a few months of use.
For the price I do not know where to find better.

I also have Focal CMS, Yamaha did not blush.

They had me ready to record a disc. Then the owner of the arcupres but the disc n'tait not finished ... So having started to record the disc with these speakers I have redeemed the same to finish ... I use them for mixing, recording and possibly some prmasters.

SONORITS

The frquence curve is not forcment super neutral, the dynamic is rather good, the picture is quite wide stro I find the sound is quite clear and that what prcis unflattering. But once you sound well head it is very pleasant to work with.

NOTICE GLOBAL

These are good speakers I use them for three years I tried some other models a bit smaller, including five inches. What I really like is that there was some rglages behind and are linkable with a subwoofer. The quality-price ratio is rather good and for the same budget I would do this choice without problem.

At the time I had left on the HS50 which had its mouth (the logo is lit all), which are compact, which fell within my budget and had good reviews in the press. But once in the store, the seller made me listen to HS80 (malignant) and direct the bass that I missed were there. This was my first pair of monitor so not too Reversing ...
I enjoyed EQ settings and especially the bass compensation when monitor is against a wall, very useful for the home studio which is usually compact.

SOUNDS

With hindsight and years, I think the low end lacks a little définissions so be careful at low (see below) which can be rotated once a hifi listening which tends to amplify these frequencies.
In contrast dynamics and stereo are good, even if I do not have much comparison ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 6 years and I'm thinking seriously about changing to go to the Adam. These are good monitors proximity but because my home studio instead evolved into the studio with amateur governed, they show their limits due to the remoteness and the requirement. In addition, adjustments to the rear with the power button are not practical.

To conclude, this is a good pair of monitor with a very good value to start over, but it is a little specialty Yamaha.

I chose these monitor speakers after listening to the dealer.
I wanted to test the yamaha because I kept very good memories of NS10,
and for use in home studio pretty basic, like me, this is pretty good

SOUNDS

The sound is pretty accurate overall with a slight lack in bass frequencies at low volumes.
Good momentum, but its a bit flattering nonetheless.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 3 years, after using Mackie, Genelec and Yam NS10.
My first choice would have been Genelec again, but not the same budget.
Value / price very satisfactory overall.
I think they really stand out clearly in the same price range (there 3 years)
Unless it is out of better things since I certainly would do this choice with respect to the budget. The best is still to check with a good dealer and compare all the models in stock, armed with a cd that we know well to make his choice.

I could not find 10 ns so I look at this model.
the use being a home studio at the beginning,

but after a few years I am accustomed to their sound and I have started to use them well

SOUNDS

neutrality is not strong in hsm but when we used to sy we start differencer surplus gene frequency that particular mediums.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2007, being the first model that I've buys J stays pretty pleased with the report, but after using the KH and FOCAL it realizes that it is not top, but if you happen to do ringing sound that will ring above Cést necessarily on others.

value for money is correct

Purchased in 2013 for my home studio, associated with 01V96i and Cubase.
Excellent monitor speakers, they leave nothing happen. I had trouble with the headset, the result was never consistent with my expectations at a replay on speakers living or radio. There are no surprises when it sounds with these speakers it's all good everywhere.
Attention to the bass reflex positioned at the rear, do not put them too close to the wall (if you can operate a low-cut button provided for this purpose, but suddenly it changes the frequency response).

SOUNDS

Good frequency response, with very fine treble and good hot coffee. Even with bass sounds.
The sound seems very clean, excellent dynamics.
A pure delight.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for a few months, it has totally changed my way of working in the studio. After presetting the headphone (often roaming), I conclude systematically finalization mix with these speakers. The result listening on any other system still meets my expectations.

I bought them because for that price, there is not much choice if you want speakers 8 inches.
I used everything in my home studio .. Composition hip hop, electro, listening to music ...
It is connected directly to a sound card as they are amplified.

SOUNDS

I like the sound is very clear to me, the stereo image allows me very correct (coming from someone who has not tried hundreds of pairs either!) Spectrum appears respected me but lacks good on low natural dison below 60Hz .. This also comes acoustics of my room I guess.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for about 3 years and I have directly compared with Krk Rockit and Behringer B2031 .. There is no picture in Krk side were extremely bad, unclear drafts, cartoning and behringer sounded very hifi (boosted bass, stereo .. not very clear).

What I like most is that it is a very good introduction to the world of monitor speakers, they are still really nice (yes it counts!) And they never have me created any problems.

WHAT I LIKE THE LESS AND YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The woofers are not protected and seem fragile, basically there must be really gaffe is on but I guess it's better to have protection above .. The vents are at the back so if they are too close to a wall is not great because it takes all the pressure that comes out ..

I highly recommend it if they are for a home studio with a sound not perfect because they work well and anyway it will not do absolutely nothing to have the most expensive speakers in this case .. If it is for a mixing studio PRO with perfect acoustics and much larger budget it will not be probably the right choice (or maybe in the second pair of listening ..). Then I also think it is important to get the ear of pregnant like that .. A bit like learning to drive a classic car and not a ferrari ..

For that price yes I referrer that choice, for 500 € and with a much cleaner I leave on events, Genelec, Dynaudio or Focal acoustic ...

I wanted a pair of monitoring in a tight budget but not too bad, because they would be my first monitor speakers.
Browsing several forums and reviews some pro they seemed perfect for my budget especially as I found almost 300 € new pair!

SOUNDS

I find fairly flat response curve and do not flatter the bass. Well placed they offer a good specialization and good rendering of mediums high mids and treble, the dynamic is rather very well respected ... well I'm so used to them that his work is a real pleasure over and above I make pretty good mix with "my taste" to be modest

OVERALL OPINION

I utlisie for 2 years now and after a period of adaptation everything becomes clear and precise and frankly at this price point I would do the same choice, I tried krk Rokit 6 but too low and others, the quality report price is simply deadly ... my next choice will be the focal solo 6 ... but we need to save money!

What motivated my choice is first of all the prestige of the brand and price. The use was big home studio

SOUNDS

We can not speak of a curve is neutral because whatever the monitorings curve is neutral so in an anechoic chamber or a room well treated well but in a room or its is not then not any speaker will be more neutral. We must therefore treat a minimum to operate its monitorings. The stereo image is correct, the lack of precision in the bass between 60 and 80hz. Dynamics is correct. They are worth their price.

OVERALL OPINION

I used them for 3 years. Today I work on the Adam A8X 1200euros very sure they are 10 times better than the adams but the price is also different pair. Those I like least about yamaha hs 80m is the vents on the rear of the speakers and the power button also.
The price is correct to start but if you become pro not have to go on something else. on the other hand carefully in any case they are the responsibility of Yamaha NS10M is completely takes the sound is completely different.

Yamaha reputation in the field.
Used with a subwoofer yamaha yst-sw 320 for audiovisual mixing and music.
Possibility of adjusting the curve on the rear side.

SOUNDS

Pregnant pretty flat compared to BX8 some Genelec or that flatters many but prevents a critical work.
Its light and not tiring after several hours of listening.
The stereo image is satisfactory.
Large power reserves for nearfield.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 7 years, I find the price / quality ratio very interesting, especially as it is found in the 400 euros a pair.
Mine are like new despite their age, whether it is neat it gives the impression of being able to last 30 years
In addition they are pretty.

Attention nothing to do with the NS10, but the color may be.

It had taken me to record a disc. Then the owner has recovered but the disk was not finished ... So who started to record the disc with these speakers I bought the same for the complete ... I use them for mixing, recording and possibly some premasters.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is not necessarily super neutral dynamics is quite good, the stereo image is wide enough I think the sound is quite clear and precise if somewhat flattering. But once you get good sound in mind it is very pleasant to work with.

OVERALL OPINION

They are good speakers I use for three years I have tried a few other slightly smaller models, including five inches. What I really like is that there are some settings behind and are linkable with a subwoofer. The value is pretty good and for the same budget I would do without this choice problem.

Reference in this regard are their ancestors ... we can not find or used.
But for this kind of product it is best to buy new because you do not know how people use it ...
I use it for listening to music all day, playing bass or guitar or record composed friends.
I used my table output track Alesis Multimix 16 USB 2.

SOUNDS

Its very good no complaints

OVERALL OPINION

I board the vessel because it is a reference!
For anything recording mix ... if the person on the speaker ring around it!

connected directly to my tyros 4, these speakers give me total satisfaction. after several comparisons in store in the price range, I have not found better.

SOUNDS

the advantage of these speakers is the respect of sound throughout its frequency: acute, medium and severe. Obviously, however, it is recommended that the subwoofer HS 10 give more relief (especially typed techno music). But even in the absence of casing, the songs sound very well for home use. Like any type of amplification system monitoring, power, however, remains "contained" and requires a dedicated use for studio / home. Otherwise, we must aim higher!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost two years that I own. No problem in terms of quality or sound reproduction! They are now perched on speaker stands for better sound spatialization. The price / quality ratio is excellent, and its versatility makes it a very nice enclosure! I have tried other brands in the same niche but I found less dynamic.
That said, in terms of sound, each has its own hearing sensitivity and found that a model makes one better than another ...
I remake that choice without hesitation.

I was looking for not too expensive monitos and more precise as possible (like everyone else!)

SOUNDS

Speakers really neutral, even in low cata. The mixer is made very risky, you end up with too much bass almost always, so he must be in the low dose almost haphazardly to expect a correct rendering. After two, I went out about but it's really boring. I went on 7x adam, this is the day and night. Ok they are twice as expensive. Fuck, there's no chance ....

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of use, the top end is pretty good, mids are correct, the bass is really gross. If I had the choice again, I'll look for something else. But with practice you can get good mix, it's just harder.

To start this is not bad, without breaking the bank, or baffles back djs

SOUNDS

BUT NOT BOOMY not neutral, dynamic moderately accurate passable stereo, pretty satisfied.
These speakers have entry level! BUT GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY

OVERALL OPINION

5 YEARS GOOD REPORT Q / P, A NECESSITY MUST PASS ON PRO SPEAKERS FOR MASTERING SETTINGS, NOT BAD FOR DJS. I NEED SOMETHING TO GO OVER THIS LIKE A PRO EVENT OPAL € 2,500 BUT THE PAIR

OVERALL OPINION

In fact, I do not pay .... (long story)
I already possesses Genelec 8030, so I compared "hot" in my home studio (room dedicated, acoustically treated .... not in a room that echoes what!) ..... And well, I ' I was amazed!
super dynamic, super stereo image, great sound ..... I even thought about selling but Genelec!

..... But .... (there is always a but) ..... I was in the mix for the post production .... and going to a "real big studio"
I've realized that they were a little too flattering!
The Netherlands is great, more generous than the 8030 (which does not come down from the ground) but suddenly the medium is a bit empty!

So I kept the 8030 ... more suitable to my way of working tool!

..... This is very subjective, because monitors is like a slip when you have its brands it is hard to change!
Moreover, it is only a tool .... some person comes to mix on some speakers and not others .... it can also be a political choice ....

So ..... if the budget is right .... this is the pair of monitor to have!

..... Hoping that this notice serves to someone!

Yo!

Features, I do not care!
I'm gone from a vendor with a full extract CD (classical, jazz, techno, rock, ...).
And in my budget, they are imposed. (I did not want a separate amp).

SOUNDS

The sound and power are really satisfied me.
These are not pleasant pregnant but you can work with for a long time ...
Still, these are not references for me, but I know them well! The stereo image is acceptable, and for the dynamic ... I would say that we can start working.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for six years, and even if I could compare with others, I was satisfied with these speakers for several years. But I bought KEF XQ10, which are passive, ... and I think they could quite be used in mixing ... better than my HS80 ..

I bought the boards for the simple reason is that it is a standard in home studios of France and Navarre.

The design is beautiful, white top speaker gives a classy effect.

I use them for the production of the mix.

SOUNDS

Yes at this level as long as the studio is soundproof, and monitors located there really that feeling of stereo image.

OVERALL OPINION

I never had any other model before, I do not regret my purchase, because I recently had the opportunity to invest in HS10W.

I used the past seven months.

Yes I remake this choice fits my needs as a small producer of electronic music.

the only flaw is that a poorly soundproofed studio, coupled with pregnant misplaced and it is migraine guaranteed after 2 hours.

I chose them because their quality / price ratio is noted by users, and that many of the Home studiotistes take as the first speaker
The 8 "seems a good choice to have a satisfactory response at low frequencies.
Used to mix and play guitar through an amp simulator (Eleven Rack)

SOUNDS

The sonority for me, I did not get any unpleasant surprises by listening to my mixes on other listening systems.
View I have no element of comparison I could not comment on the neutrality, the precision and dynamics. But I think it is more accurate to be pregnant.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for one year and I'm satisfied for now.
I play in an untreated room, so it is on the accoutique made is false (but not as ca)
They have the advantage of having buttons dampers for possibly compensate for acoustic response too much or not enough pronounced piece of listening.
I think at the end I would the more precise speaker acquisition - my dream Focal CMS65, but this is another budget ...
