My question to you sir, is I have presently Mackie cr4's, would these be an upgrade in your opinion?

[@davidefuzzati8249]

Just ordered still waiting for the speakers to come. As always, your review is close to perfection, John!

[@SteeVane]

Thank you for this, Joe! I was looking for budget monitors to buy for my home studio setup and was just about to go for tho. But your video just pointed out the “reference monitors” tag I never saw. So helpful!

[@r-squared9258]

Great video! Found the information and perspective you offered to be very helpful, thank you!

[@frankfarago2825]

Thank you for this great review, John. And thank you for calling these what they are -- MULTIMEDIA monitors. There is another reviewer on YT, hew must have called the BX4 like 101 times STUDIO monitors, That does not make them studio monitors, unfortunately. These are NOT studio monitors, They do not even have a balanced XLR input, for crying out loud. But they are great computer or PC monitors, multimedia monitors, which is why I got a pair of them myself. They are, however, NOT proper studio monitors. Don't be fooled.

[@maudio]

Thank you!

[@jorgelopez9620]

Nice review brotha, just got a pair for another smaller video editing set up. I love the maudio 3.5 ones for so long. Then upgraded to the Yamaha HS8’s witch I’m in love with currently. But something about the Maudio’s I always liked. Looking forward to 4.5’s

[@MrKnightfx]

Nice review. Thank you for the 411.

[@VendettaStudios98]

Really good review!!

[@scarey2me]

Add a sub and crossover it at 80hz and the sound is like wow. The little woofers lack a serious bottom end. Nice vid. Keep 'em coming.

[@tedraven9214]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@quinnyqp1513]

You sold me on these monitors after I already put my order in yesterday 😂. I have a podcast and I make music so since I’m starting out these will be perfect. Leave the high end studio or multimedia monitors for the engineers!

[@PUZE.Official]

hi john ! this is great video . between presonus e4.5 and m audio then I should choose which one to make ballad music ? tks bro

[@ian.blackett]

Can u recommend this for Trap, Hip hop, I mean basically for 808 Bass genres ?

[@roddisreal4453]

I been mixing on Walmart computer speakers so they are a upgrade for me lls

[@robsmusicshop5966]

What up homeboy? Question I plugged my bx3s to my laptop but only one side worked. If I switchback the passive switch the other side work's. How do I get them both to work at the same time? I appreciate your thoughts

[@jonathangolding6232]

Great video John, I was about to buy these to set up a home studio connecting them to my Behringer QX2442USB but hearing you saying they got flat spot in middle and quality is good for producer but not mixer I stopped as my hearing is acute I not only hear every wrong note but if one instrument is a fraction out of tune with another (sometimes I wish I wasn’t so sensitive) so I Need to get Good speakers (but I’d like to keep the price down) What speakers do you use / recommend? Are you going to do a video on speakers? Thanks

[@MACODJ]

Thank you for all your video!

[@sherlockchisholm6908]

nice box u have there

[@MACODJ]

@@sherlockchisholm6908 box?

[@MACODJ]

why do use your monitor position down like in your video?

[@aceaquascapes]

hi there i got one yesterday after seeing your review, and after a hour of playing dolby music it starts having a humming sound, the bass starts to break, and i feel some heat out of the active speaker.. is this normal ? i mean are these meant for continious play ? or watch movie ? i tried changing 3 locations and computers in my home.. all nobs are at center(12 o clock) please help, its the first time im got a monitor speaker

[@philipmorgan7802]

Hi. Informative review. Would you know, please, whether the BX3s also lack in the mid-range and whether the BX5 D3s are suitable as more serious professional studio monitor speakers?

[@tommytrooper634]

Hi John, first time to watch one of your videos. Love your persona and style! I just bought these as my first studio monitors because honestly I can't afford better ones... So what would you recommend I adjust in my DAW to compensate for the small speaker size? Thanks!

[@Johnmike]

There’s not really anything to adjust per-sa...what I would recommend is learning how the monitors sound in your room...meaning you need to listen to tons of songs that have already been mixed through your speakers...and while you are recording/mixing through them...always have a song pulled up that’s already mixed that you can reference back and forth between yours and it to see how close you are to the low end highs and mids of the other song

[@tommytrooper634]

@@Johnmike That's awesome advice. Thanks a lot! God bless.

[@sandscribbler]

Hey John Mike, would these work for keyboard amplification? What would be some other options? I'm thinking about purchasing a speaker-less piano keyboard for home - at this point NOT a studio - and am trying to figure out what's the best way (in addition to headphones) to get sound that would fill a small 8'x10' room. A keyboard amp? Near-field monitors?

[@Johnmike]

yup they would work good for that!

[@ifeanyidede2106]

you didn't mention about imagining and soundstage?

[@carlonicassio257]

Ok but if I have 100 bucks budget for mixing monitor what I’ll use?Please help me

[@Alessio_DiSumma]

HI! WHAT DO YOU THINK IF I BUY THIS SPEAKER TO CONNECT MY ARTURIA DRUMBRUTE IMPACT?

[@jackhammer9261]

Great video John Mike, I am sure you know this, but just in case you do not, I feel like the mids would probably come through for you better if the speaks were at ear level. From the video I see they're pointed towards your neck/torso area. I do not see them tilted. It's just an observation I made. Having the speaks in level with your ears is usually the best way to listen to the sound quality of a speaker.

[@robierk617]

Hi I’ve got one of these and my ic got exploded… so I’m wondering if you could tell me the ic details for this… cuz it’s hard to find. Thank you.

[@deejay_j3]

Are you able to do a loudness test?

[@Matt3l2775]

Hey I saw u did a novation launchkey mk3 61 key review. I want to buy it so I'm asking if u could do a piano cover on it Just u playing it

[@tomjread2556]

hey man, how do these compare to the edifier r1280t? As they are around the same price. Great review!

[@alfianbanjaransari4096]

I have those! For the money, they're really great multimedia speakers. But for mixing? Probably not.

[@sioboy]

What about M-Audio BX5 D3?

[@ReckDemon]

Thank you very much for the video! I heard the Presonus 3.5 were too trebly/harsh. Do you think it is the case for these?

[@Johnmike]

These feel pretty smooth

[@evolopterus]

I have the Presonus Eris 3.5 BT, and for their size and price, they are absolutely great. I am impressed by their bass response (relative to the size), and they don't distort even on bass-heavy content. I am curious on how these new M-Audio speakers compare to the Eris 4.5

[@ReckDemon]

@@evolopterus Tried both the M audio BX4 and Presonus 4.5. The BX4 sound a bit muffled in comparison. Would definitely go for the Eris 4.5. There is a comparison video on youtube now.

[@georgitrifonovmusicchannel9637]

What is the song on 4.22?

[@dannylanglois151]

[@ivanchristian3560]

Is this aight with Coldplay type of music?

[@IAmKenArts]

Do you think these would be good for editing videos (mainly talking head and Voiceover)?

[@Johnmike]

Yup!!! I use them for exactly that purpose now...I just bought a new computer and created a video editing setup and I’m using these for that setup

[@KoniakCwalkPL]

Is it profitable to buy speakers at this price?

[@user-kq9wt3wu9d]

Hey John Mike.Between these and the Presonus Eris 3.5,which would you recommend,for a beginner's home studio setup?

[@Johnmike]

I’d probably go with these

[@sxngx.16]

Eris have lack bass.I m use now bx4 D3.Bx4 D3 have best sweet spot for creatin waveguide tech.I love them

[@aCtivesh00ter]

hey man ty for video. im an amateur producer and im thinking of buying m-audio bx4 or presonus eris e3.5. would apreciate any advise

[@Johnmike]

I got a comparison coming soon

[@glowsause_malo7]

Hey, my speakers clip amd cut off when i play them loud, can you help?

[@uiocity]

Hi John will you recommend these monitors as a starter kit for a home studio? I mainly record and mix my voice and guitar

[@Johnmike]

They would be great for that

[@uiocity]

@@Johnmike thank you John, at last I bought the 4” Monkey Banana Gibon Air. The M-Audio were out of stock.

[@MegaBambam45]

How do you actually get pro tools when buying these? I've just got a pair and can't seem to figure out how to get pro tools

[@Johnmike]

It’s a software download card in the box

[@its_dfg]

Hi John. I’m thinking of getting the bx3, solely for the purpose of hearing what i record, outside my headphones. Just like you said, about this bx4, will the bx3 be okay for that?

[@Johnmike]

Absolutely I think they are great for recording!

[@its_dfg]

@@Johnmike Thank you.

[@WayneDawkinsThePartyMan]

Not bad if you live where you cannot make too much noise

[@user-tl6py4je9t]

Hey John, how do the BX4 compare to the Pioneer DM40 or Presonus Eris 3.5/4.5?

[@chrisfonseca8302]

i would also like to know

[@sxngx.16]

Bx4 D3 best best best

[@BoDiddly]

Great review, but your mic sounds muffled.

[@dj_mibro]

any good for a home dj set up?

[@Johnmike]

Yup

[@g.s1636]

Hi,men nice video...for one smaller Studio is ok this Monitor bx4 ?

[@Johnmike]

I think it’s great for that as long as you aren’t doing very heavy mixing/mastering

Are they good for people who just want them for like listing to hip hop, looking for a pair of speakers for just gaming and listening to music

[@Johnmike]

These would be great for that

[@Falconbro]

@@Johnmike thanks for the reply 😁. Will be picking these up once there back in stock

[@brainrottedindividual]

i had the older version and liked them a lot, sadly my dumbass fried them by accident. i'll be ordering these now since they seem to be an upgrade.

[@turnup2048]

how the bass on these

[@Johnmike]

Surprisingly very good!

[@valerioodorisio]

nice video

[@SeverusHilltop]

So these are good music producing speakers?

[@Johnmike]

Yup they are pretty solid for that!

[@WarpedTrekker]

I'm not sure why M-Audio went down from 5" BX5's to this 4.5" except for cost reduction. I refuse to buy anything less than 5".i have the bx5 d2 and would rather have the D3s.

[@kevinellis8947]

That's what I assumed they were: just higher end pc monitors.

[@frankfarago2825]

Of course. PC, computer, multimedia monitors. But there is a foreign accent KZbinr here doing a review of them, (M-Audio BX4s), he said like a 101 times that these are STUDIO monitors. With a straight face, too. So, you need to know whose video reviews you are listening to/watching.

[@raygxr5705]

Wondering if you get a kick back $$ from m audio

[@Johnmike]

I wish lol…

[@doctorkj5640]

These seem like a nice and cheap upgrade to AV40s. I can’t understand why people are raving about Presonus crap. I had Eris 5BT pair and while sounding good (probably better than BX4s) they had intolerable twitter hiss/noise when there was no signal totally independent of the volume and audible from 5 feet away. Audible even when playing music on low volume. Low quality D-class amp. I returned them after a week or so. Presonus QC is really bad. These BX4s have classic AB amp design with no hiss at all. I have AV40s since 2010 and also no hiss. They can run a bitt hotter but nothing alarming.

[@prodigy1090]

Yeah ima get these im mainly a producer I mix and master my beats sometimes but only general mixes nothing complex but it's not what I'm focused on im more of just a beat composer
