Yamaha HS4 Powered Studio Monitor in Black, Pair (HS4 B)

Bought the Presonus 3.5s... Sent them back. Bought the Edifier MR4s... Sent them back. Cheap is never the option unless you literal have no choice.I'm new to production but am really into sounds. Sounds in the back of tracks, taps, kicks, bumps you name it I've always loved listening to the mysterious sounds in the back of music.I didn't know what Studio Monitors were like before I got them, the other two had low hissing and would cut out souns at a "too high" volume. I did not know Studio Monitors were like old-school receivers and would cut out or "distort" when played too loud but I'm into music so I know it's an Amp issue. These let me play my music a little higher and the first time I played them I noticed something in my mix I didn't notice with both of the other speakers.If you're serious get this, if you don't really care about nuances buy the MR4s. If you don't care about a low audible hum, the Presonus 3.5 are ok but I truly don't recommend them.

Doesn’t sound as good as bigger monitors but for the price I can’t really complain

These speakers sound great. Using them for my recording studio.

Wonderful sound! I only use these ones for its high end performance.

Have had these for a while and can honestly say they are my favorite monitors so far and i have had quite a few. Pair these with a subwoofer and you got the perfect setup without breaking the bank. Sound super clear.

Great entry level powered speakers for computer to enhance quality over built in speakers.Quality speakers on a compact size.

I was a bit skeptical about using these as computer speakers at first, I thought they would be be too powerful for desktop use, but I was completely wrong! They're perfect! The treble is clear and crisp, and mids are punchy and prevalent. For the size of the speakers the bass is quite good too, but don't expect a bunch of bass. If you want that, you'll need a subwoofer to accompany these. Overall though, I highly recommend these speakers.

I keep them on my stand-up desk and listen to them all through out the day. I can crank them when no one is around and set them down a bit when people show up and the sound is still accurate. Do not expect much base from these speakers, the bass is there and its tight, but you will not shake the pictures off the wall with these.
