JBL 306P MKII vs Yamaha HS7 || Sound & Frequency Response Comparison

[@DSAUDIOreview]

10:08 Frequency Response Graphs

[@FelipeSantos1000]

The HS7 response shows the same "inverted Fletcher-Munson curve" that old NS10 's are famous of. Not fancy to hear music, but great to mix and sound good everywhere.

[@Nawtyway]

I do feel like the JBL's sound a little fuller with more bass but i love that you can hear every detail on the Yamahas

[@guil_juliao]

JBL seems more true to the finished track samples with slightly better bass extension sounds. I would choose JBL over Yamaha

[@alex-sd]

JBL waveguide tweeters rule! On paper, the Yammy's seem flatter but sound sterile. JBL's make the speakers disappear and all you hear is awesome sound in the entire room and then some.

[@Yohuan]

HS8 vs 308s pleaseeeee, it would be the ultimate much needed comparison.

[@alexlang9651]

Both are great monitors but the jbls have more life. Thank you for the vid.

[@maman89]

yamaha sound so setrile. which is a good thing in a studio enviroment

[@maxxevv3328]

The measurements below 800hz are far too similar to be accurate. I think your room modes dominate the measurements below that range.

[@bean.011]

jbl has a lil more bass but the 7’s are more clear

[@lundsweden]

Both great, don't like the dust magnet glossy finish of the JBLs. They are good value though, and a good alternative to the Yamahas. Yamaha though are iconic, sound and look great IMO!

[@bobwrotenstien315]

In the US that is currently $538 vs $238 on amazon.

The Yamaha have a more coherent transition between the highs and the mids. On the JBL things are a bit delaminated in this area. I tend to boost the high mids when I mid. The Yamaha already has a bit of a pronounced high mid, therefore will probably prevent me from boosting them too much in the mix. This said, the JBLs have a nice sound and appear to be more open and clear.

[@Manuel.Luedecke]

Both are nice. But the JBL are near as possible at the original for that price. The Yamaha are too much mid/high heavy, they produce ear fatigue much faster. I would choose the JBL.

[@adrianodoneguim]

Isso mesmo foi o que conseguir nota no monitores si os ouvidos cansarem fica rui de mixa ai o Jbl lrva a melhor por também fica mais perta da fonte sonora horigial

[@adamkaminski]

For most people the JBL will be better, because they are looking for listen to music and JBL has more presence and fuller sound. BUT, for mixing, the details on Yamaha make difference.

[@tiagodosteclados]

JBL has the sound closest to the original audio!

[@JonnyRocksAW]

I was really considering the HS7's but I think I have to agree with you. hmmmm.

[@agondistortion]

they have different sound dispersion , on HS7 you can sens the glue balance overall compression but the 305P have more depth and i can tell when mixing on them they disappear easily and you can sens the distance between instruments front to back ii own a pair of HS8 and you have to work hard to get a depth

[@JustinKent]

Thank you for all of your great videos, I'm still torn though and just looking for a subjective opinion on which of the 5-6" monitors playing in this range are the most well rounded or "best in class" I can't decide between the Rokit RP5 G4, JBL 306P MkII, Yamaha HS5, and Adam T5V. I think I have room on my desk for a 6" but most of the brands seem to have gone 5" + 7" and JBL is one of the few still doing a 6" Any thoughts on which you would purchase for casually making electronic music and listening? I don't need to do any serious mastering.

[@iSOBigD]

The 305p was just $120 CAD so it was a no brainer for me

[@DJZEMBRILO]

adam t7v or AX series believe me it's the best .it depends on your budget.a tip always try to see the frequencies between 40 mhz up to 20 the lower the minimum frequency the better you'll get.

[@SleepyMusicOfficial]

Rokits are pre good all-round, and known for being used for electronic music.

[@wapanglemdur]

I've been there, and decided to buy the hs5

[@JustinKent]

@@wapanglemdur heh, this was a few years ago but they had a sale on Yamaha monitors at guitar center so I ended up taking home the HS7's. No regrets

[@Salthecat1]

Yamaha sounds wider, more spreadout and clearer. Just like a monitor is supposed to be. JBL sounds a bit muddy.

[@toioalmanza]

El Yamaha es mucho más cristalino que el JBL, creo que pesó el fanatismo por la marca JBL, porque Yamaha es mucho más exclusiva y solo unos pocos tienen acceso a ella.

[@belmo2587]

Anyone know if the 306p's do well when listening off axis? I won't be spending a lot of time just sitting in front of them when casually listening to music. Problem is I also need them when playing on my synth. I just don't want to buy two sets of speakers.

[@heythere6983]

What’s goin on in this video tho, is this a song that was already mastered and then ur playing it through the speakers? What was the original being played out of? The original had the best bass response. Then the jbl. But it’s confusing cuz u didn’t explain what this is testing? These monitors are made to mix on. Did u mix with them or is this just a comparison to how they play songs?

[@SleepyMusicOfficial]

I think it's just a comparison of listening to the audio. Original was probs playing straight into our earphones/speakers.

[@dantelucas3429]

Em algumas musicas como o Rock a HS7 chiou um pouco. JBL perfeita!

Ear fatigue on the HS7s

[@ychilds99]

The Yamaha HS7 are a very honest and revealing studio monitor. The JBL 306Ps seem more listening speaker-like by adding more color to the sound. If you want desktop listening speakers for your computer then the JBLs are the way to go. For actual studio monitoring the HS7s win hands down.

[@heythere6983]

I don’t get this video. Is the original track being played on what exactly? If it’s played on a clean source then the Yamaha doesn’t represent the similarity well, and the jbl sounds closer to the original which would lead me to say the jbl is more accurate. But the poster didn’t really explain anything

[@ИванПетрович-м8л]

Мне кажется для создания музыки, лучше Yamaha HS7. Все как на ладони. А результат я могу послушать и в машине и в наушниках и в клубе. It seems to me to create music better than the Yamaha HS7. Everything at a glance. And I can listen to the result both in the car and in headphones and in club.

Guys save yourself money and just buy a logitech Z906 system for $300. Take it from someone whose owned some high end audio equipment. I recently tried replacing my Z906 system with some "high" end book shelf speakers. What a joke. The speakers sound like shit, I even listened to my friends bookshelfs, my old ass Z906 system completely wipes most of these bookshelf speakers off the map, plus 99% of these bookshelf speakers distort once you max the volume, not the Z906. Save yourself hundreds of dollars and hassle and just buy the z906, you'll be very impressed. I'm surprised this channel hasn't done a review on them yet.

[@awhs5435]

I have a Z906, it's a pretty big system compared to logitech 2.1 z series. www.logitech.com/en-ca/product/speaker-system-z906 Trust me, this system will shake your house.

@@joshsmith7812 JBL translation into real world vs Kali? . Are those two inferior to the Yamaha? Which is best for near field mixing? I dont get what this video is supposed to even be representing. Did they just play an already mastered track as "original" then play it already mastered through the other JBL and Yamaha? cuz what did they even play the original through in comparison?? There was a major difference on the Yamaha and then less of a difference on the JBL. The original had the most bass for sure. There is no explanation therefore no reference as to what in actually listening to.

@@heythere6983 JFYI My computer's speakers have an 18" subwoofer and the two full-range speakers have 12" woofers. So hitting the bass notes isn't a problem.

[@heythere6983]

@@LincolnRon tbh they shouldn't sound exactly the same, I can hear a difference in my laptop and other speakers for sure. My problem is that in all his videos, he compares all these speakers to an original track, yet, WTF is this original track recorded on? What was it mixed on? IS this an original unmastered mix? Is it mastered? Cuz if its mastered, and he somehow is showing it to us in a flat way, then the speakers that sound most similar are the best. Even though our systems will taint the sound, we could assume "ok the sound didnt change much so that must be the best speaker" But there is no reference point. I can hear when one speaker has better bass, more highs etc but what about that original track? What is the standard for it? There is no standard, the only way these videos are useful is if someone knows what monitor they like. And then can see how others stack up. But if someone has no idea, then its impossible to know whats best. But if u like the Yamaha type, all u gotta do is see If another sounds close to it, if u like Yamaha u probly wont like the bassier sounding ones and automatically say they dont sound articulate. People always confuse a mid heavy sound with a more articulate sound, because it feels louder and more present. More mid heavy is a better sound the way bass heavy is a better sound, none of these speakers have a sub. So none of them are complete sounds. Mid heavy monitors are better for exposing mids, and monitors with real low end are better at exposing lows. People always ignore that in the comments, They automatically just like the ones with more mids usually.
