    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    Very good for a home studio ..

    Yamaha HS80MPublished on 12/10/13 at 01:43

    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 ...

    the best price / quality ratio

    Yamaha HS80MPublished on 12/10/13 at 13:05
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    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!

    Neutral: it can not say, however I do have never found that to be quite. Advantage to "clear" rather than the top-medium. (But is that a bad bet?) No "flattering" for low (logical, given their size and design).
    For balance, adding a subwoofer is recommended, and above all determined.
    The dynamic is ok, softer under 120Hz and above 8500-9000.
    These are not monitors for the sound or made to "fill" a space or give a hi-fi eh ...
    Positioning: I do not teach you anything ... Avoid preferably wall edges (more vents are at the back), (especially for such monitors) corners and an abundance of metal or glass in the room, tiles, floors stone hard ... to good listening height (that of your ears), (... humidity of the room there, especially not smoke, ...) etc.. But not so hungry :-) air, not too bad surprise min 50 cm walls. (By 1.20m).
    Is often seen that the headset monitors, the choice goes hand in hand and headphone-or counterparty.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been two years and I use "tring'balle."
    Robust (being very careful) Internal Amplifiers: ample power. "Punchy" for their size. No resonant material, placed on feet designed to. Any manufacturing defect. Rear knobs can be practical? 4 + remain on the "flat" to me. Little cumbersome. Consommantes little (and 'lupiotte remember before they are lit) bling :-). Stable. Inexpensive
    ... for their effectiveness.
    Ccl: Good tool, which is in addition to or comparisons with other monitors in the same space and time, the frequency ranges. Especially for the analysis in detail. And considering the price.

    - The sound is not "flattering" (not in too low ...) and so much better even if it can destabilize the beginning (the sound seems more "cool" than with conventional speakers)
    - The stereo seems to me good without being exceptional either
    - The dynamics is well respected and the sound is clear across the spectrum

    Last but not least I do not feel tired after long hours of use

    OVERALL OPINION

    It must be 6 months that I use.
    I am particularly happy because I make mixes that are better now.
    These speakers accurately transcribe what you give them, have ample power, interesting tweaks to adapt to your room ...
    All with a price / quality ratio very good as often with Yam. I think it was just for his money!
    Now I've never worked with pros pregnant so I lack perspective ...
    In any case if you are doing an amateur home studio, you can go for it!

    SOUNDS

    The curve is the best in this price range. The stereo is good if you place the speakers well.

    The sound is the acute déffini are very well made and the rest but must also adjust the settings according to the back rooms where they are placed.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Some years now.

    Yes its the speakers I tested.

    The least I could only say they are doing it only because in two voices in his three votes would have been the feet. Another small minus is that the event is located at the rear but its good nor its general.

    The top prize is frankly, I had bought Samson with both feet for easy placement and also placed on a desk because when we send the level would shake his office.

    Yes I will ransom them without eyebrows. As soon as we know them can not do without.

    I bought a pair of anceintes for mixing and recording. It is correct to use a home studio. Good connectors (XLR / jack simm.) And low background noise connected with XLR cable.

    SOUNDS

    Features sound good value compared to the purchase price. Good output power and good image stereophonic.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have the speakers for two years. The construction is solid but the edges are easily damaged.
