  • excelent studio monitor
Full disclosure, the only music genre I work with is Rock, (hard, melodic, metal etc.) so I can only speak to that with respect to this product. With 35+ years studio experience both as an artist and engineer, I can say these are perfect for all phases of recording, mixing and mastering. The bass has just enough punch to give you a reference when mixing a kick drum and bass to provide adequate separation between the two resulting in a solid bottom end. The mid spectrum is well represented helping to keep that "boxed'" sound at a minimum. The highs are a little on the bright side for my taste but once I got used to what the finished product sounded like on different audio devices I was able to compensate when rolling off 10k during the mastering process. I have no problem with the sleep feature, they wake up pretty quick once they sense audio. The LED logo looks cool and lets me know they are powered on. Not sure why other reviews take a shot at KRK for this feature. I chose this speaker for a few reasons. 1. KRK has been in this space for a while giving studios an option other than the de facto yamaha 2. I didn't want all the other options like the analyzer. (unnecessary in my opinion) 3. Price. 20 years ago you pay $700 for a decent pair of monitors 4. Size. They are small and light for a powered monitor. In closing, these speakers do exactly what they were designed to do. Give you an audio reference of your recording, mixing or matering project. They are not going to throw big bass or blast the room. You should have another reference speaker system for that. It takes time and experience to know what a good mix sounds like in a controlled environment like a studio and how that translates once its out in the public being played on thousands of different systems. These speakers provide a great reference to accomplish that. ... show more

  • Great monitors!
I’m no pro, but these things sound great. I use them to mix my songs on GarageBand, as well as to listen to music and jam tracks.

  • Brilliant little studio monitors
Spent a lot of time reading other reviews etc. Already have 3rd generation 8 inch KRK monitors, with a 10 inch sub that I use in my living room, which are incredible, and wanted some desk monitors for my study/office. Decided that the KRK's are amazing but was not sure I would be able to tell the difference between the 3rd generation and 4 generation series (which are nearly double the price), so got the classic version (3rd generation). So glad I got the KRK's. They are absolutely amazing, I cant believe such small speakers reproduce such incredible sound, including amazing base response. Brilliant value. ... show more

  • Perfect for the price!
These are exactly what I was looking for. My office doesn’t have perfect acoustics but these sound great anyway. I can crank them up to demo my latest Fl Studio track for my wife who doesn’t want to deal with my studio monitor headphones and I don’t have to worry about whether the track will still sound good or not. ... show more

  • The KRK 5" Classic Studio Monitors set the standard in their price range
The media could not be loaded. English: The KRK 5" Classic Studio Monitors set the standard in their price range, making it challenging for other monitors to compete. Offering excellent quality at an affordable price, I always recommend monitors with at least a 5-inch size, as anything smaller tends to produce low sound and can lead to issues, especially in low frequencies. These monitors deliver a fantastic quality that I wholeheartedly endorse. Having a monitor with high volume capability is crucial to me since dynamic range plays a significant role in my mixing process. I aim to mix at -18dB volume, and with these monitors, I can hear my mixes loud and clear. I recommend avoiding adjustments to the controls behind the monitor, even if you know what you're doing. Nothing beats proper acoustic treatment, and using earphones for precision is advisable. Personally, I leave everything at default settings with the volume set at 0 dB. Español: Los Monitores de Estudio KRK 5" Classic establecen el estándar en su rango de precio, siendo difícil para otros monitores competir. Ofreciendo una calidad excelente a un precio asequible, siempre recomiendo monitores de al menos 5 pulgadas, ya que cualquier tamaño menor tiende a producir un sonido bajo y puede causar problemas, especialmente en las frecuencias bajas. Estos monitores ofrecen una calidad fantástica que recomiendo plenamente. Para mí, tener un monitor con una capacidad de volumen alto es crucial, ya que el rango dinámico desempeña un papel importante en mi proceso de mezcla. Mi objetivo es mezclar a un volumen de -18 dB, y con estos monitores, puedo escuchar mis mezclas fuertes y claras. Recomiendo no realizar ajustes en los controles detrás del monitor, incluso si sabes lo que estás haciendo. Nada sustituye un tratamiento acústico adecuado, y es aconsejable utilizar auriculares para mayor precisión. Personalmente, dejo todo en los ajustes predeterminados con el volumen configurado en 0 dB. ... show more

  • Great Sound
These speakers are great. They are sold individually so I bought two. I could’ve survived with just one but I like even numbers. Also, you will need to purchase your own cord for an audio connection as this only comes with the power cord. Picture attached shows the available connections.

  • If you want more bass get the 8 inch.
