Yamaha HS 7

Pros
* Accurate Sound at this price point.
* HS 7 provides the little extra bass you need for your mixes.
* The Room control and the High Trim are perfect options for home studios that needs adjustments and that are not accurately soundproofed.
* Value for money.
* Long lasting quality (bought in 2019).
* Plays in my house almost every day and is used by other applications and not only for listening to music or composing or mixing.
* Powerful sound !

Cons
* Not a professional studio monitor (go for Adams if you are really interested to the top quality) , just experienced them but never owned Adams.
* The white paper material speaker cones are eager to attract dirt.
* If your room isn't properly soundproofed your mixes are not going to sound accurate . This is not a minus to the speaker , it is just a comment to give awareness to the future buyer not to expect miracles buy simply buying an entry level quality monitor !
* Somewhat heavy.

Overall :
A nice Value for Money starter speaker great for the average Joe home producer musician like myself OR a secondary set for professionals. Great for guitar studying with your cab sims and small productions.
Not for professional job exactly but a great monitor to compare mixes between 2 other monitor set (if in studio).
The HS 7 can provide a wider range of frequency for users that do not lack the space in the house and want to experience a bigger sound in their mixes.
It helps me a lot because I do not produce only rock music but Electronic also.

I am not giving it a 5 star because I think that my friend's KRK G4s are a bit more sturdy and look more fancy and have better build quality and better mids.
In a side to side comparison they sound more bright than the KRK's (maybe there is more clarity on the highs or maybe our ears are not working as perfect as a professional's ears) .

I am a more high frequency oriented and he is more mid-bass oriented guy so... I guess that was our preferences.
You can read in forums about these differences too and see that I am not kidding at all.

In the end I prefer mine over his only for this reason, but if I was to buy again I would go for the KRKs .

Ich habe mir ein Pärchen der HS7 als Zweitmonitore zu meinen Neumännern gekauft und bin zufrieden.

Verarbeitung:
Die Boxen wirken recht billig was die verarbeiteten Materialien betrifft, aber bei dem Preis ist das vertretbar. Allerdings gibt eine der Boxen nach noch nichteinmal einem halben Jahr durchgehende Knackgeräusche von sich, weshalb ich sie wohl zur Reperatur schicken werde.

Klang:
Klanglich gesehen kann man sich für den Preis wirklich nicht beschweren. Natürlich kein Vergleich zu den Neumännern, aber das Stereoabbild ist breit, die Stereomitte zentral und sauber und der Frequenzgang wirklich nicht schlecht. Ich nutze die Boxen zwar mit einem Subwoofer, aber auch ohne haben diese bereits einiges an Low-End zu bieten. Ich würde allerdings empfehlen eine Korrektursoftware ala Sonarworks empfehlen.

Fazit:
Generell kann man die HS7 empfehlen. Wenn man allerdings ein Boxenpärchen als alleinige Referenz sucht, sollte man etwas mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen. Letztendlich ist das aber abhängig von dem Einsatzfeld. Für ein Homestudio ist die Qualität ausreichend, für mehr allerdings auch nicht.

Used these ones in my home studio for many years, and also brought them with me when producing music with other musicians. Great monitors to have when learning mixing and mastering but they do have their limitations as well.

Pros:
*Clear and crisp highs.
*Defined mids.
*Very affordable, amongst the best in its price range.
*Good looking design.
*Not too big in size.
*Great for beginners (from year 1-10 in the music carrier).
*Sounds very pleasant for purely enjoying music, and even watching movies.

Cons:
*Not so much lows, missing some depth and clarity.
*Will sound bad in poorly treated rooms (most speakers do).
*Not suited for mixing and mastering on a professional level.

Conclusion:
Great speakers that I would recommend to anyone within their beginning years making music, but do note as you evolve and start to close in on the real professionals you will need to upgrade for some more expensive speakers. But these ones will take you a long way without any problem!

I use them in a home studio, for editing dialogue / post and hobby music writing.
My biggest gripe with them was some high end sharpness. Something is "hissing" there, like a narrow band noise.
But after some months I don't notice it anymore, so they may need some burn-in (I haven't done that).
They have less precise highs than Adam A7's (the old model) which I use regularly at my studio, but still good to make decisions on.
For my usage I find them quite ok, dialogue sounds better than music on them. Maybe a subwoofer would make the setup complete.

In short, these speakers saw me through college and I always found them brilliant for as all around speakers. Regrettably, the hardware has developed crackling and humming after 3-4 years, which is double what most people get if forums are to be believed, but either way, having been attached to these speakers for those years, to see them fail in such a minute but ultimately decisive way is actually a bit upsetting.

They don't do well with phones or other electronics near them, which considering they're in my studio is also a bit baffling.

Pros: Cannot complain about sound. When they're at their best, I'll put them against anything else on the market in that price range. Also, a small thing but this is important, they look fantastic.

Cons: Very much has a finite lifespan. Rear port means consideration is needed as to where they will be located, perhaps not ideal for a bedroom producer

This speaker is amazing in terms of quality, it only lacks some bass and requires a separate sub.
Problem though: You can hear weird static noise coming from the speakers when no sound or really quiet sound is playing. This also appears when no input source is connected.
This might be due to the electrical installation of my appartement but I can hear this sound even with all other electrical devices unplugged and I never experienced this issue with any other "sound" device I own.
When searching the internet about this issue, it appears I'm far from being the only one concerned so I'm afraid it does count as an electrical design issue.
