JBL 305P MKII

Excellent value for money, with a strong sound stage and a good amount of bass - not completely flat so perfect for casual listening - music, movies, etc. They also work well in larger rooms as a portable audio system as they're not too heavy so you can carry them around on your shoulder in the Gator G-STUDIOMON1 bag also available here if you don't want to buy a full PA system.

They do have a noticable hiss which is fine in my use case but you will be able to hear it in a smaller room when nothing is playing. If that bothers you seek a different product. The hiss is constant at all volumes. Also worth noting don't try turning these up to 10 and play films through without normalization, if you hit something that peaks the audio output like an explosion the speakers briefly cut off and the driver restarts. 6-7 is the sweet spot for me, but will depend on your audio source.

Build quality is okay but don't expect anything premium, things aren't glued flush for example. These speakers are much more about the sound for the price than overall build quality.

Works well with the JBL LSR310S subwoofer if you want extended bass response (or added earthquakes) in your setup.

I use these speekers pretty much for everything; movies, music, gaming and producing music. I am happy in every aspect. The bass is clean and it doesn't mix or interfere with the rest of the frequencies. I have them plugged in a Scarlet 4i4 3rd gen sound card and even if I turn the volume knob all the way up from both the sound card and the speakers, I get a clean 95% if not 100% of the sound. For producing music, even though I don't have that much of experience, I experiment around with FL studio and I get a great outcome. I really like the touch with the logo on the front and the LED which let's you know whether they are on. Furthermore, when they power up again from standby mode, there is a small fade in of the sound, so you gradually reach the volume the knob is set to. It's an excellent choice and don't be discouraged by the plastic design.

Took these monitors as I was looking for moderately priced, decent quality speakers primarily for listening to music on my computer & guitar practice at low volume levels with occasional recording.

I was expecting a good quality sound on all volume levels (especially apartment building acceptable levels), and I am happy to say that the speakers did not disappoint.

You can find here in the reviews and also the forums that there is an audible noise when the speakers are on, and I can confirm that that is indeed the case. Truth be told, this is only audible when there is no music being played and unless you are hypersensitive to this stuff, you will probably barely notice it.

Pros:
+ Good sound quality on all volume levels
+ Good EQ to tweak the sound to your room
+ Auto stand-by (can be switched off)
+ Moderately priced

Cons:
- Audible hiss when speakers are on
- Auto stand-by can kick in even when music is playing (at low levels though)

As an inexperienced user of such monitors, pretty much my only complaint is the glossy finish on the front that collects too much dust.
It sounds great and is very feature rich for how cheap it is.
However, if you don't have a lot of space you should know that they are much bigger than you'd expect if you have never bought monitors before, and I'm assuming a lot of potential buyers have not.

I use my pair for listening to and mixing music primarily. I have them connected to a scarlett 2i2. At first they sounded extremely bassy, but after a quick look through the manual, I realised all I had to do to fix that was flip a switch on the back, so do read the manual if you don't know what you're doing.
They're very easy to set up, but you will need to have the equipment to connect them to your device, so look up what connections you need and get the proper cables, or you might end up with a big bulky paperweight.
For first time buyers, do keep in mind that you need to buy them individually, meaning if you order one from here, you only get one speaker.

Finally, one thing that annoys me slightly from time to time is the low hum they make when on max volume. I always have them on max volume and control it through my interface, but you can probably just use them differently and not have that problem.

I know nothing of studios or sound recording. I seen my first XLR cable last week haha! - I watched some videos and these were recommended. They are absolutely incredible....

I got 30 days free of Amazon Music HD and I have been on it non-stop! Re-listening to songs all over again. The best sounding stuff has been movie and game soundtracks, makes my hairs stand on end!

Absolutely blown away! - They are perfect for little newbies like me as well. Have a built in amp thing, self powered. You don't need to worry, just plug it in and you're good.

I am getting a buzzing, but I have a XLR to 3.5 mm jack straight into my computer motherboard, cause I don't know any better haha! But once the music gets going you don't notice it much.

These speakers have opened a whole world to me. I am now looking at USB DACs and flac storage. Seems that music CD quality (44.1kHz 16-bit?) is more than enough. So I have started looking into CDs more.

Blown my mind - I put quality at 5 stars, they are probably not the best, they are amazing though!! BUY THEM!
