Do not buy. They hiss very loudly.

iaroslav_korenskoi 23.06.2024

I wish I had known about these shortcomings earlier.

Unfortunately, these speakers emit a very loud, annoying, and irremovable hiss. Yes, active monitors can have some hiss, but not to this extent! It's impossible to process music with such a high level of this extra noise.

As a result, instead of mixing and mastering tracks, I use these speakers for coming up with guitar riffs or sketching orchestral music. I use the speakers at 20% of the intended and desired functionality.

I wish I had known about this defect earlier.
I would like to return them to the store, but since the speakers are technically functional, I'm not sure the store will agree to refund me.

They are absolutely unusable for a "home studio," only for minor exercises and drafts. The hissing interferes with hearing the frequencies and the full spectrum of the written music.

Do not buy them.

PD

I expected less

Pavel Doronin 25.05.2020

I have bought this pair as reference monitors and they are surprisingly good. I also use them to listen to my vinyl records. I literally expected less from them but they are good.

I'd not use them as main monitors in studio because the precision is not that good. However, they allow you to spot some mixing mistakes.

Excellent studio monitor

Edumusik 08.08.2020

I've tested these now with a wide variety of tracks from vocal jazz to Beethoven symphonies to hard rock. Crystal clear sound with no distortion and therefore excellent for video sound track editing. They are not large and so the bass is not prominent, but that was to be expected.
