great video, lovely sound. I am suprised by how good they sound. I saw a pair second hand monitors, and this was just what I needed to take the decision!
I personally like the JBLs better over all. They sound more full to me. E5xt are more analytical which is not always good for general editing. Plus the e5s are more sensitive to signal noise which could be an issue depending on the source. Hope this helped.
@@JustVladsthx. I would use them for studio and mixing purposes, so I would plug them to my focusrite scarlett. And I never had problems with signal noise. Which do you think translate better? But ultimately I think I just have to wait until music stores open up again so I can see for myself :)
yeah. i got the 305's too. they not bad at all. if your room or studio is big you would want the 308's plus the subwoofer. for a small room these work perfect, got them in 2019 and they still goin strong. oh yeah the dust caps are pretty much un poke-able LOL. im gonna upgrade to the 308's and have them on stands next to the 305's.
Wow! I have to say, they are certainly louder than any Laptop speakers. And one time in your videos, I thought it sounded like you were in the same room as where you were. And so real. lol Terry
hey, great vid. I jut got them, i set the volume knobs to the max, and also in my audio interface (audient id4) but i steel feel like it could be louder, am i doing something wrong?
I'm thinking of buying these, but the report of hiss from them worries me. I'd be connecting these to a synth if I buy them. Would the audible hiss be annoying?
No it's not. I have a pair on my desk, from about 1 meter away and I don't notice it, and I don't even have the best setup yet, they're curenlty connected directly to my PC through balanced to 3.5mm aux. Hope this helps you decide.
This is very easy to do. You just need a specialty cord (very common in music stores or online) that goes from one male 3.5mm (aka aux) to two male TRS for each speaker
Is it just me or these speakers should be bought twice? Cuz i see that people sell them not as a pair, but only one And to make it stereo you need to buy it twice.. am i right?
You are right, these are sell as single unit. Right now it's $119 at amazon. There are sellers that sell them in a bundle with the pair, the price would be the main indicator of how many speakers come, also read the description to be sure.
Buy a DAC, it will have a much better sound card than your PC. Or you could buy a passive volume controller so you at least have better control over volume. Check out Zeos video on these 305p , he goes into it in depth.
Hi! How are you? I just bought the same ones. They sound great, but have a lot of hiss noise, without even plugging in anything. Simply by plugging it into the power. Do you have a similar problem? can you do something? greetings and thanks! .
Hissing noise is kind of normal, but it could also be the adapter that it is hooked up to that makes it hiss. It could also be a problem with the end of the plug
cool. this are great monitors. They're not the best to "enjoy" music cause they're a bit dull (for mixing purposes). PS. the inputs are balanced. needs TRS or XLR cabes for proper use and best results. cheers
@@nikolaikirkanovic I'm not 100% sure but it would have to be a special 3.5mm because there are too many wires for such a small size. It is best to look for an audio interface with trs/xlr outputs
Waw get ya self a good set of RCA cables for them speakers 🔊 Thick ones If u need , use port plugs Waw very interesting speaker The bounder gain is cool
JBL 305P: geni.us/dMQXEP6
1/4 RCA Adapters: geni.us/Xg5a
3.5 to RCA Cable: geni.us/qZuV
Khadas Tone Board DAC: geni.us/my19HE2
TS to RCA are what you've got. TRS has an additional section on the prong
Still waiting for mine in the mail... now im even more excited... thanks for the vid , bro!
great video, lovely sound. I am suprised by how good they sound. I saw a pair second hand monitors, and this was just what I needed to take the decision!
That hiss you hear is from the volume knob at max without audio signal.
No. It's because of the class D amps.
The Hiss sound only exists when using it without any audio interface, notice that?
I just got these hooked up with Audient iD4 Mkii, wow just wow.
I just ordered the audient and these speakers, so your comment has me very excited haha
Yooo how you liking them??
Still holding up?
Hello does each of the monitors comme with a power cable?
Hi, great review! Do you think I can use them as Hi Fi speaker in a small room? Thank you!
JBL 305 p mkii or M-audio bx5 d3 ? Which one should I buy ?
What cables would I get to connect to my interface?
1/4 TRS to XLR male
@@kevinpetrmichl7555 not normal trs cables?
Can you please guide which one to purchase . JBL 305P mkii or JBL 306P mkii ?? I am Confused ,,as not much price difference between them
How do these compare to the personus e5 xt? I'm currently deciding which one to get

Which did you get in the end?
I should own audio interface to connect them to my laptop ?
pretty cool vid bro, got my like
is this the 5inch? And also i am doing lots of metal music production will this be good?
yeah. i got the 305's too. they not bad at all. if your room or studio is big you would want the 308's plus the subwoofer. for a small room these work perfect, got them in 2019 and they still goin strong. oh yeah the dust caps are pretty much un poke-able LOL. im gonna upgrade to the 308's and have them on stands next to the 305's.
Did you also have a listen to the KRK ROKET 5 G4s too ?
How good would you say these would be for use with karaoke?
Wow! I have to say, they are certainly louder than any Laptop speakers. And one time in your videos, I thought it sounded like you were in the same room as where you were. And so real. lol Terry
Why is the input sensitivity switch inside the speaker? It’s like that as well on my 308p mkii
Where did you get the case for the tone board?
geni.us/pDaTte6
That 6.35 mm was a mono jack so you’re using stereo fidelity
would this work with the soundblaster x g6?
why is at ~13:49, when music is playing, the woofers are not even slightly moving?
Good video , I got them but i have the same problem with the noise.
Are you fixed this little hiss?
hey, great vid. I jut got them, i set the volume knobs to the max, and also in my audio interface (audient id4) but i steel feel like it could be louder, am i doing something wrong?
what desk is that
I miss my unboxing moments with these speakers🥺

Getting them installed in my car today boutta go crazy lol
😂😂😂😂 why
Are all connections from Laptop to both JBL Mk II 3.5 mm ?
Can I connect this with my phone? And how?
Very nice review, can do a review for the DM-50D?
Great video, subscribing rn
Could you hook up a regular aux to the adapter?
This is very easy to do. You just need a specialty cord (very common in music stores or online) that goes from one male 3.5mm (aka aux) to two male TRS for each speaker
Is each speaker powered or a cable that goes from powered to passive?
Each speaker is powered individually. So two power cords to plug in.
How much ?
Is it just me or these speakers should be bought twice?
Cuz i see that people sell them not as a pair, but only one
And to make it stereo you need to buy it twice.. am i right?
You are right, these are sell as single unit. Right now it's $119 at amazon. There are sellers that sell them in a bundle with the pair, the price would be the main indicator of how many speakers come, also read the description to be sure.
@@yunloy i already bought the samson mediaone m50
200$ for a pair and a subwoofer output option...
Pretty happy with that
i'm using a dual xlr to 3.5mm going into my pc. is there something that will improve the audio or is the way I'm doing it the best way? thanks

How much this speaker
Im kinfd of lost i thought you needed an interface to use these speakers.
Wait, I noticed that "input sensitivity" is not a switch, it's just a empty slot. Why?
There is a switch inside there, it's so that you can't switch it easily and blow up the speaker.
It's just recessed
Honestly which one is better between neuman kh120 and jbl 305? Need valuable idea from your guy?
Neumann hands down. But significantly more expensive. Can't go wrong with JBL for the money tho.

Can i get 2x TRS from 3.5mm jack? What should i do?
@@nikolaikirkanovic I'm not 100% sure but it would have to be a special 3.5mm because there are too many wires for such a small size. It is best to look for an audio interface with trs/xlr outputs
I own these speakers and its connected to a presonus audiobox 96 interface
I got lucky. I got these in a package deal that included a M Audio Pro Oxygen 61 midi keyboard, Presonus audio face, mic/stand all for $175.
How many commercials do you need to include?
🔥❤👍
Waw get ya self a good set of RCA cables for them speakers 🔊
Thick ones
If u need , use port plugs
Waw very interesting speaker
The bounder gain is cool
That’s a TS unbalanced with one ring, TRS is the balanced 1/4” that has two rings.
Neutral response in my channel; keep likes and dislikes even!
💥🔥
thx for the DAC
nice
Its weird because they sound just like my laptop speakers!
You know we aren’t actually listening to those speakers right?
I have it
I wish it wasn’t that shiny so that it must’ve been easy to clean 😂😂😂🖖

Cringe that your constantly sliding the speakers on the table constantly. #scratches
Yamaha better by far
it isnt lmao
Why lol?
i have both hah
Yamaha is more balanced.. So its better for mixing right... What are the cons on this jbl?
@@rebin4649 they re speakers no monitors
no flat sound like my car
I guess these are the only speakers where the woofers do not move when the bass kicks in… fake much
Sounds like made in china . Not my cup of tea
Why?
