Out of the 2-3 other monitors in this price range, this one is by far the best in my opinion and millions of other people on online forums like gearslutsz.com.The mids are clean and cutting, the bass goes down deep to the club frequencies of 43 Hz nicely and punchy. the highs are truly sparkling.You can find these monitors in professional studios and is designed by the same person who designed the legendary ns10 Yamaha monitors.Recommended for all ranges !!!

Tried a couple of other monitors in the store by KRK and JBL. Yamaha stood out with its frequency spectrum- especially the lows - and transparency. If your graphics board gets quite busy, they start humming though which shouldn't happen too often anyway.

Yamaha HS8 are the best monitors for home studio from my perspective. They are quite big but if are used with stands they don't take much space on a table.The sound quality is superior, clean and detailed. Of course it make sense to add some sound isolation in your room to see the full potential of the monitors.

I am big fan of Yamaha speakers and these do not disappoint!Great sound clarity for the price range, big chunky hefty units and well made with various cross over options for getting your desired soundscape set up.Highly recommended!
These are the best monitors for me.They sound awesome and you can hear a lot of frequencies you would have missed with other speakers.Due to my little room i was worried about the rms power of the speakers but Yamaha solved this problem with their room control function.Definitely great speakers!
These are really great monitors. Amazing frequency response from 38 HZ to 30KHz. Very clear sound throughout the spectrum. Very good low end but I recommend to use the sub in order to take full advantage of these monitors. For sure, dont forget to use foams to get rid of reflections and to trap the basses together with a good room calibration/measurement so you can achieve an almost flat sound, for the perfect mixes.
These Yamaha's are giving you a real neutral tight sound to listen to music and youre recordings. Real big value for, this price!! Enough power and drive
I think this is the best buy I ever did in my life. Because of the HS8's I'm really enjoying music again. It gave tracks I already loved a new dimension and I could hear sounds that I couldn't before.For mixing and mastering music these are a perfect product as well because you can hear very clear the difference in different frequencies. You can actually hear the depth of different tunes and creating music for me was a whole new level.Furthermore the delivery was fast and well packed.Like I said: one of the best buys in my life.
These are really great monitors. Amazing frequency response from 38 HZ to 30 KHz. Very clear sound throughout the spectrum. Very good low end so if you buy these speakers you will not need the sub. If you get HS7 i would suggest you get the sub also. Mainly after one month with these speakers i can honestly say that my mixes were cut short by half of the time because now its so easy to identify what needs to be corrected. I wish i had bought those earlier! :)
at this price point I doubt you could do better. plenty volume and low end for med-fieldlistening. they're quite chunky so make sure you check the dimensions fit your space.
