[@KeyboardSavant]

I've had these in red for a few years now and I'm honestly still impressed each time I use them.

[@coldcraze]

"Why do people fall asleep to Zeos' videos, cus they are in mono", i'll be the first to admit I've used your videos to fall asleep before. No hate, you're informational and a solution to insomnia!

Kanto YU4 vs Vanatoo Transparent Zero... which sounds better to you?

[@bluerice666]

Yes I need to know this

[@sebo123159]

Asking the real questions here

[@glennaa11]

thanks for this review. I just picked up a pair in this very color with the stands for $240 on Mercari. They really do sound fantastic on my desk

[@NWGR]

Great review Z. I agree that these are amazing speakers. I used to have them in my kitchen but moved them to my desk while I save up for a set of TUKs. I Can't wait for your review of the YU6s.

[@BrendanMacWade]

I got these for my work from home desk and have zero regrets. In fact adding an external DAC between my laptop and these speakers (Topping E70 Velvet) has produced incredible detail.

[@formerviking]

I've had my YU4 for about 1 1/2 years now, and am very happy with them. The thing I'm happiest about is I got them from Amazon as a warehouse deal for around $200. One of those "slight cosmetic damage" things. I still don't know what was wrong with them, they look fine. So the only negative was having to go with matte black, as that's what they are. The only thing I feel I'm missing with them is the headphone jack on the newest model. But that would just be to compare them against my amp.

[@federicodubbini-composer]

bass is enough or needing a sub? I don't know if taking edifier which cost less

[@raygetson5436]

Thanks for providing your review of these speakers. Based on your video I asked for these speakers for my birthday. I set them up in my home office and WOW. They are fabulous! Perfect for my setup. Awesome pair of speakers. Lots of volume, bass is pretty good too. Thank you again.

[@gregd7842]

A remote with bass and treble +/- control is a really nice to have. Excellent review Zeos. I looked at the YU6, and forgot about these.

[@duvels86]

Got the Kanto Yu2 3" in bamboo finish for my desk and really really love them! Can't imagine these being worse than those.

[@timschutte6924]

Definitely need a subwoofer with all of their speakers. I love the bamboo. Very nice quality

[@Powerpickle68]

@@timschutte6924 I don't with the YU6

[@thetigergamer4644]

@@Powerpickle68 For most people it's fine but they don't go any lower than 45 - 40 Hz so there's a lot you're losing. But bet it's enough bass for most people..

Great speakers! I bought these for my daughter for her tv room. Music sounds very good using DSP correction through Roon.

Just noticed on Windows 11, there's a mono setting in control panel. Nice to know Zeos, my right speaker needs to be weirdly closer than the left for me.

[@GTFODeathknight]

and im here just still enjoyings my Passive Kanto Yumis

[@darensweeney5925]

I like the fact these have a remote. I have the iLouds, and the lack of remote, plus the fact that the volume button is on the back of the unit, is a giant inconvenience. Spending $40 on a passive preamp seems so inelegant a solution.

[@PrezidentHughes]

I'm planning to use them as a soundbar substitute with the SUB6 connected analogue to the TV's headphone jack so I can use the TV's remote for volume and also get to use the TV's built-in virtual surround sound DSP. That's basically a 2.1ch soundbar but way better, 2-way drivers compared to a similarly priced soundbar. My living room is only 11x12ft.

[@jonho7483]

How do the yu4's and sub6's perform for movies?

[@ZESTAMV]

My fellow friend of culture, i am about to buy the yu4. today i stupidly bought a jbl portabledevice .... gonna give them back on monday and switch to those sweet yu4s. thanks for your insights

[@HarkamalAujla]

Omg i hv the yu6... beyond happy u reviewing this. Your view ground me with freedom

[@thump3r]

i have the older kanto yu5 and i dont feel like i need anything else. but then i look at the tuk. WOW

[@gatobakuniano]

Is there any point in the review where he speaks about how they sound? He talks about connections, about position... I have seen the video in the background and I can't keep the focus when he starts to ramble...

[@kaoswar2450]

completly agree he driffts off in all his videos about speaker possition and all the other crap that has nothing to do with the item being reviewed at all

[@cordia96]

I bought the YU6 speakers based on the Kanto Yumi review. The Mono Trick might be helpful, good job.

How do they compare to the Vanatoo Transparent Zero?

[@timschutte6924]

, same quality but less base of course

[@mastacator2739]

What are your opinions on the YU2’s? For small desk setups that do not allow for bigger bookshelves. Would the pair well with a sub6, sub8, or something else? Love the detailed reviews

[@desertscrub66]

Hey Zeos. I know you don't really like reviewing IEM's but i'd love to see a sony ier m7 /m9 review. I haven't really seen anyone do a comprehensive review of them with a gopro and pajamas. Thanks.

[@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120]

HEY Z , beings reviewer myself how long do you listen to speakers before you review them ? Just wondering I been going 40 plus hours before review thanks again Z for another review i bought the Q-100 On your recommendation their great!

[@scottpm1132]

How do these compare to the Edifier S2000MKIII in sound quality?

[@homeboi808]

I have the YU5 and love them. The YU6 is an S&V Top Pick.

[@JAFOpty]

if you lower the volume, does that also lower the subwoofer out line level?

[@HarkamalAujla]

On your yu6 test. How would the sound compare to your fav book shelf speakers? This cN help me understand how good sound exists out there. .luv ur vids btw

[@anomuumit]

Hey Zeos, when are you going to try the small Genelecs like G1/8010 or G2/8020?

[@KentBurgess]

All the Genelec products he has reviewed were sent to him by one viewer, and not provided for review by the manufacturer or a reseller. Given the price of Genelec products, Zeos won't be spending Patreon money to get them. So the answer to your question is "when someone who owns them sends them to him."

These vs the edifier r1850db or transparent t0? Also the better of those vs a 2.1 system like the edifier s350db For a bedroom tv system

13:45 Evil Nine - Restless This video reminded me of the song I used to play on my first MP3 player. Got the Kanto Yu6 based on the Yumi review. Valid my purchase , zeos.

[@MrBrymstond]

Did you know that KZbin can and will eventually charge you for using their royalty free music if you use them for sales of any kind? That's right, they'll go all the way back and figure out if you used their music and charge you.

[@ryansantaana]

I m know this is a year old video. I hope you have time to answer this. I’m looking at the Edifier R2000DB and these YU6s. It’s just a desktop setup for me to jam out as I grade student work. Which would YOU choose and why?

[@MrYodaone902]

Is it worth getting the Kanto sub to go with this, if so the 8 or the the 6?

[@fluphybunny930]

Been looking at the YU6's vs adam t5v for TV/Music in sitting room. Connecting Adams to TV is my main concern (in UK).

[@jep0rox]

I have the kanto yumi's for my tv and they work great

I have the yu6 4 my new tv via optical lead and it sounds better than a soundbar. Im very much into things sounding good and those bad boys do.. maybe their newest ones are even better.

[@heokevin7712]

Would you recommend Kanto Yu4 over the audioengine a5+?

[@simoSLJ89]

They might sound ok, but (at least in my country) the Vanatoo T0 are just 30€ more. Just another level.

Better than edifier mr4?

[@SirBapkins]

I dunno, RB42 along with the AD18 seems like competition to me. Similar price too. And amp upgrades. Can't upgrade amps and dacs in active speakers.

[@timschutte6924]

Exactly, that's why I like passive speakers personally. I use the Fluance SX6 with the Micca Dac/Amp rated @ 50wpc/rms. With a 70 watt Dayton plate amp with their 6 1/2 inch subwoofer kit. Sounds very good

[@horhey4063]

Vintage suggestion for 4 inchers: Realistic Minimus 7’s, great speaker if you can find em for less than $10

I remember those, I broke my toe with those damn things, all aluminum and heavy. Radio Shack.

I wanna see more speaker monitor reviews, i love the iem and headphone reviews, but we need bookshelf and monitor reviews (KEF speakers!). I also wanna see some reviews on weird things like the Devialet Phantom/ Phantom Gold some a real hifi reviewer and not some rich tech reviewer.

Came back to listen to the mono speaker lesson. .excited to try it out . What about right level. Sorry but not sorry 2 ask lol

[@petrholusa5855]

The USB charger is definitely for people who use just laptop or mobile. Let's suppose I have just these speakers and phone at home and I am computer an alphabet. I could connect phone via BT and charge phone. I believe those speakers are just level up from sound bars.

How do i hook up this kinds of speakers to my pc or laptop?

[@KahviVelho]

For your laptop you could use a 3.5mm to RCA cable and make use of the in-built DAC. Alternatively you could run USB to an external DAC and run RCAs from it to the master speaker. You can also get USB to optical converters that’ll allow you to run an optical cable into the speaker assuming it takes optical like these YU4s do. Same goes for your PC with the exception of using the USB to optical converter as it’s very likely that your motherboard already has an optical output.
