[@hdbangers]

► Links to the best budget studio monitors we listed in this video: PreSonus Eris E5 - amzn.to/3BmET6e Yamaha HS5 - amzn.to/4dlNEL7 KALI AUDIO LP-6 V2 - amzn.to/3XS07BR JBL 305P Mk 2 - amzn.to/3XUrcVf Mackie CR3-X - amzn.to/3XRXBvz

why is no one talking about the hiss on the jbl 305p mk2? it’s basically like having a constant static noise while you’re trying to mix. unusable.

[@Vybescube]

Kali’s are awesome monitors for the price point. I got rid of my Yamaha 5 for them. If you have Kalis you know. If you don’t you better find out

[@shaikhreshma8]

presonus eris e5 is the only one with an actual soundstage. the rest of these monitors are basically mono compared to it.

[@RaimaSaha-u1o]

people sleeping on the presonus eris e5... it has way more low end than the kali lp-6 v2, but no one talks about it because it's not 'trendy.'

[@VictorVectorMusic]

lol tell me that you've never heard kalis without telling me that you've never heard kalis. Not even in the same league.

Nice video. Thank You for sharing this information.

[@RiniRoy-iu3pt]

Thanks for this video

[@AryanChakraborty615]

Thanks for it ❤

[@SkRaaj-f2e]

Very informative video

[@jessicaembers924]

What is with all the MDF and ABS plastic enclosures these days? I want a SOLID Black Walnut enclosure with 1.5" thick walls for my monitors!

[@ReemaGanguly-z9h]

i swear, yamaha hs5’s sound the same as car speakers. save yourself the money and just use your car’s sound system to mix.

[@SunitiRoy-yx4ws]

Honestly this video is very interesting

[@Marco-HidalgoMusicRecords]

You keep saying Presonus E5 but showing the ERIS 3.5 🤷🏻‍♂😆

[@PatriceFrancisco]

Sounds like an exciting video! Testing 20 budget studio monitors must have been quite a journey. It's always helpful for musicians and producers to know which affordable options deliver the best sound quality. I’d love to hear which monitor you crowned as the absolute best and why!

[@SupriyaSamanta-fb7kh]

Nice video

[@AlistaEntertainmentGroup]

I thought you tested 20 these are only 5 and only 2 are decent if I had to Kali all the way but the Adam TV series are crushing all of these!!!

[@DiyanaDas-t4l]

nah, mackie cr3-x has the best bass out of all of these, don’t @ me. it’s small but it hits harder than the kali lp-6, no contest

If you're not a professional and earning money with your music, get the Kali IN-8 and you will be more than happy... beats even some much more expensive speakers. They're just not particularly loud, but they're great for the nearfield. I first used them with my Motu 828es and I thought the sound was good. But then I treated myself to the RME Adi-2 Pro and oh boy, it's a whole new world now. This thing is insane. The sound is now 3D-like with a much wider stage and very clear placement of the sounds in space and depth. It's unbelievable what a good DAC can do and unfortunately even expensive sound cards don't have good DACs built in.

[@RonitRoy-it8we]

Too much background music, didn't understand what you want to say

[@SathiDutta-h7f]

mackie cr3-x has more punch than the yamaha hs5. change my mind.

[@RaiSen-hy4pb]

kali lp-6 v2 is trash if you’re in a small room. that bass is way too overpowering, no way anyone with neighbors can use these.

[@MoumiReek]

honestly, the only true monitor here is the yamaha hs5. everything else is just pretending to be professional but failing miserably

[@SutrishnaGhosh-bu8bs]

yamaha hs5 is only popular because of the white cones. it’s all hype, no real substance behind the sound.

[@BristiDas-m2g]

bro mackie cr3-x has better mids than anything else on this list, I don’t care what anyone says. it’s just better for mixing guitars and vocals

[@TheGhostfaceKLR]

I've never heard of "bro mackie". Is that a new company? ;-)

[@MadhumitaChatterjee-tc7fe]

kali lp-6 v2 might have a decent bass, but who needs bass in a studio monitor? if you want bass, just get a subwoofer. monitors should be flat and boring.

[@thedon1784]

Having more bass extention doesn't mean they don't have a flat frequency response...

[@RinkuDas-p5p]

👍

[@m.aminelahyani6483]

jbl 305p mk2 is basically a downgraded computer speaker. you can’t convince me otherwise, no studio should ever use these.

[@BabiPaul-y1x]

why do people even care about frequency response? just listen to your mix on your phone speakers, that’s how most people will hear it anyway.

[@MariessaandEvan]

But what if a prospective client listens with real speakers and you had mixed on your phone? Jus think how many people won't get hired because of your guidance

[@officialWWM]

Yes we should all be mixing on phones 🙄

[@AvishiktaDas-ni5hr]

yamaha hs5 is overrated, the harsh highs literally make my ears bleed. no way it's good for critical listening. just get cheap gaming speakers, they’re all the same lol
