nice vids ZEOS PPPPPeaceeee

Me: "Ahhh, but what about the MB42X?" Zeos: "But honestly these are better than those as well." Me: *gasp*

[@lakota9295]

You kick ass! Your videos feel like I’m going to my friends house to see his new speakers

[@larryfoster423]

@James Rodriguez You must be new to the channel and/or the MAGIC that is Zeos. Becareful he has you in his grasp

[@ZReviews]

They COULD be your new speakers... For the right price.

[@ar_xiv]

I love going to a friend's house and peering through their own eyes while they gesticulate

[@frankautiwele3810]

That's a great way to describe it.

[@AshtonCoolman]

I got a pair for $90 on Amazon in January 2025 to pair with a Klipsch R-120SW, a Fosi ZD3 DAC, and ZA3 Amp. I am very pleased. You've never steered me wrong, Z!

[@MrPhins]

Unexpected twist. I'm watching this review, clicking on the links and I see the Jamo S803's in white for $126 on Amazon? What? I couldn't get those fuckers in the cart fast enough. So, thank you for this review.

[@trigger_me_timbers]

you lucky bastard. they are $444 on there now but the walnuts are $230. They also have the white center channel version S81s with the same drivers has dual 5.25 drivers and same soft dome with a rear slotted port are $104 a piece and I wonder how 2 of those would sound in stereo

[@alext2933]

Zeos remember the surround is not as controlling to the overall suspension and power handling, as the spider hidden inside.

[@amazoidal]

Joe N Tell reviewed these a couple months ago. Except for the low bass, they were great for the money.

The Neumi BS5 - I Can't Believe It's Less Butter

[@XpertJoey]

Love good cheap audio gear reviews!

[@mysteriousfox88]

i was exactly thinking about that sweet looking living room fan

[@theenhancer]

I think the two others to compare this to would be the Micca OoO and the Sony SSCS5. Both of them hover around that same price point when on sale. Hey Zeos, might you get some of the Edifier passives(P12/P17) in to compare to these at that price point?

[@bigsnyder01]

Time for a three way shootout: BS5 vs RB42 vs SSCS5

[@Red.exe7]

Any updates?

[@jackstepro5368]

I bought these Dec 2021 and the are perfect. Thumping bass drum. Great clarity and treble! Tried micca mb42x first. Good but lacked bass so sent back. Happy with Neumi BS5.

[@rossl1519]

Thanks Zeos! They literally arrived today; bought after watching this review, cant wait to compare against my Klipsch R14M, I briefly tested Miccas RB42 tonight and for my desktop, way too low, will retest in my living rm. Good stuff!!

[@mindtraveller100]

Maybe this is not a fair question, because they are different kinds of speakers, but i ask you: these with a similarly priced amp, or the T5V´s? Thank you.

[@ZReviews]

These are not as good as those.

[@mindtraveller100]

@@ZReviews Thanks for your answear. The T5V´s are pricier, so that makes sense. I am glad that i bought them a month ago, to use as desktop speakers, mainly because of your review of them. I do not regret that decision. Keep up the good work.

Can you, RB42 vs. BS5?

[@Red.exe7]

Any updates?

[@miagi1337]

Hifi-Guides does not recommend many non-self-powered speakers. Quite a few of them are either out of order maybe discontinued or not available in Europe. In the end the Jamo S 803 is the only front ported non-self-powered speaker I can get that Hifi-Guides recommends. Now the Neumi BS5 would be the second when it gets in stock on amazon.

[@miagi1337]

You added the Neumi to HiFi Guides, very nice!

You did compared Micca's with Jamo C91 II, so reasonable question how Jamo's compare against this ones.

[@miagi1337]

Zeos if you need a reason to recommend these even if they were slightly worse than the Micca RB42, I give you one. As far as I see it, the Micca RB42 simple don't exist in Europe. I checked several price listing portals and a few specific audio(phile) online stores and most can't even tell anything about "Micca". Only thru google I found "Micca RB42-C" on german amazon but ofc out of stock and might never be back on stock, what they offer is a pair "Micca OoO" for 122€ + 78€ shipping. My only way to get Micca RB42 is by ebay ordering from USA for $220 + $53 for shipping ...äh... I think I'd rather buy Jamo S 803 160W for ~270€ free shipping and be able to send em back if there is a problem.

[@m4nc1n1]

Can i run them off mt Zen? lol. I might get these and run them on my A-100

[@Nabalazs]

So I've been looking for a pair of speakers for my desk. I got the Jamo S803 to your recommendation. They are on the way as I'm writing this. And I feel like theres a video opportunity for you to just make a hiearchy of speakers in the low end. Cuz here's the thing. My only options were either the Jamos, or the SONY SS-CS5. The "five star speakers". Other speakers you gave a great review are not sold here. And from what I can tell, I would have gotten a waaaay better bang for buck with the RB42 and these Neumis, but they are NOT sold in the EU. And thats a bummer. And there are no videos comparing these speakers to each other, so literally I just got the Jamos cuz if you put them on your wall, how bad can they possibly be. And how could you not mention them in this review. They are front ported too. Surely there could have been some comparisons made. Honorable mention to the C91 II, which is being sold in my area, but its a price tier higher, and I wasnt willing to go that high.

[@En_Joshi-Godrez]

Why do you require passive speakers for a desk? The t0's would shit on all of these.

[@Nabalazs]

@@En_Joshi-Godrez Availability. Very few good active speakers are available here, especially at their original price. Besides, I enjoy the flexibility it gives me to have a good amp, and plug different speakers into it over the years.

[@melomaniacspodcast1105]

I have those jamos on my desk. They’re fantastic. Good choice. Plus in white, they’re sexy as hell with or without grills. Edifier bt 17000s are incredible too for powered in this price range
