- I hear these two monitors discussed all the time amongst beginner engineers, so I thought I'd do a shoot out to really see which is better; the Yamaha Hs7 or the Adam T7V

when you switched from the yamaha to the adam version it sounded like going from a demo to a fully fleshed out mix. the song instantly came alive i also find the stereo image has a better quality to it
Yeah man exactly, if I could only choose one I’d pick the T7Vs, but really they both work best in tandem, the results from switching between both on a mix always gives the best overall result
Great video man! Thanks for actually mixing a track on each set instead of just talking about them. I'll definitely be going with the Adams.
Glad I could help Josh! I never understood why people always just talk about the features; without seeing the different results they give firsthand, you can’t know for sure what to expect
I watched your vid and a few others...was convinced by yours to get the Adams yesterday. Got the TV7's, still need burned-in but sooooo glad I did! Thanks for the review.
Glad I could help Jon, hope they work out well for you!
I just picked up a pair of Adam Audio T7Vs for $399!!
Holiday sales are the way to go when buying brand new gear. Especially when you get Sweetwater customer service alongside your purchase, lol 😅
As I have the HS5, I definitely leaning toward addressing the low end with the sub, interesting how you mixed to compensate for the monitor's frequency response.
I use, and enjoy the t8vs. Great video!
I’m listening on crappy average listener iPhone ear buds. The vocal and guitar tone on the Atom speakers mix really sings. The Yamaha sounds muddy in comparison. I like the brighter sounding mix. Thanks for the comparison.
you want the more muddy studio monitors. Your mix on yamahas will sound brighter because the speaker makes you think it's not bright enough.
Liked, subscribed and turned all notifications on. Great video.
YES i'm going to buy the t7v's and now i'm convinced it's the right choice
I’m sure they’ll serve you well!
No . Yamaha's mix is better. Both mixes have mistakes, but Yamaha's mix is easy fixable. When Adam's mix is broken and harder to fix
Hope you got these by now...once you hear them in person side by side others like HS7, the difference becomes clear. I don't know how Adam did it at this price point, but they are easily the best purchases I made in 2020. I'm upgrading now and I don't want to sell them, so we'll see how much more I get from the Dynaudio Lyd 7 and let that be the judge.
As I was listening..I was thinking the same things that were brought up. The Yamaha track was like..uhhmm. The the AA kicked in and I thought..wow. Very informative way to hear the difference. Thanks for making a decision for me. Lol
A Question?
I use midi keyboard using Piano and Rhodes samples on Computer. Which one do you offer in my case. I will not do mix and mastering. I just use them as a Keyboard player. I prefer mostly a warm sound! My Room is about 10 m2.
Thank you for your wonderful Video!
Hey, great video! Do you think that the adams would also be a good pick if I also do a lot of casual stuff on my PC such as listening to Music, watching videos or playing racing games since Ive build a little racing sim?
Yeah definitely! They also have a surprising amount of low end for speakers this size, so that would be great for a lot of the low sound effects you find in gaming. Might be a bit overkill if you aren’t using them for audio at all, but definitely great for multiple applications
So honestly I thought the Yamaha mix (coming out of my crappy razer leviathan lol) was a more balanced, perhaps radioesque? mix - but when the Adams came on I was surprised I said out loud, "Wow that's much better". There's so much more presence in the Adams mix and you can hear more reverb, and individual instruments and vocal articulation better. I was pleased to hear you said you liked the Adams mix better, because I just bought the Adams T5 (I have a very small upper room in my shed). But I may down the road get the Hs5 pair to compliment them and get the best overall mix. Thanks for this review, well done!
I have a question if any of you have experience with this. As a guitar player that uses a Kemper and Fractal FM3, which set of monitors would give me the best result in a home practice setting running direct from the kemper or FM3? Thank you.
Interesting comparison. HS7 sound muddy as compared to the Adams. I agree with "tighter" low end, overall more defined.
Im listening through a pair of T7Vs. Guess I'm biased ;)
Same here i just got them yesterday night n i hv used it only 4 hours as i was busy outside! But whenever i turn them on, i love them!!
Btw, is it recommended to first switch these off from back then switch if the main power or is it ok if i switch of main power directly?
Adam is always the way. You got to experience this beauty
What about hiss/noise on standby? Would it require to add a Sub unit? Thanks!
Sound comparison at 4:15.
You got the yamaha mix with more low end due to the starvation of that. However it is more managable if you have a controlable low end with Adams. I would go for adams for sure. Specially if you are doing EDM.
I'm not sure if you can answer this, but I'm looking for monitors strictly for guitar practice. I don't even record much. Do you think one of these wouyld be better than the other for application? I play mostly rock and older metal.
All the drum cymbals seem a bit off, scatered, like the room was too reflective. I would gate them a but harder also a bit more of the low pass filter, I get that im way younger and have a biger specter of high frequencies that i hear. Not trying to be negative or anything just minor pointers you can take or leave either way keep on doing it!!! I hope you have great sucsses!
So if I go with the Adams and I check the mix with my Beyerdynamic DT990s I should be ok.
Where is the final mix of Same Episode? I really like the singer.
in this clip definitely the adams but in other clips the yamaha shon so could be room dynamics the difference but Adams here for shore especially hearing vocals clearly !
honest question: why don't you use the solo button instead of the mute button to compare tracks? You get an annoying silence between the switching of the tracks, while using the solo button you could just switch between both to have an instant "feeling" of the difference. honest question, no offence, thanx for sharing your thoughts anyway. (as i am in doubt which one I need to buy)
Can u list the pros n cons on both based on ur findings ? So I can compare n see which is best for me
Adams: pros- great low mid response, really help me tighten up my low end, cons- bit of a dip in the high mids but then the highs cut through a lot, may result in cutting too much of the 10k and up range
Yamaha: pretty much the exact opposite, they have very weak low-mid and low response but a pretty accurate high end. Which is why I love the combination so much is they balance each other out.
But if I, personally, had to pick just one, I’d go with the adams
Waiting till Adam makes a new 8 inch speaker with better mid clarity.
Listening to this on Genelecs. The Yamahas tend to under-represent the bass and over-represent the upper-mid and treble. So guess what ? When you mix on the Yamahas there's too much bass and a mid-range suck out.
when i work with my yamaha i have always problems with the bass. I can't equalize good the bassline or the kick. Also with my HS7 it's too much open at 2kHz thus my mix will sounds too much close in the mids. For example the voice or the guitars ....... I wanted to try the T7V but it's too big for my little studio :)
no such thing as to big for a little room this is a myth that i fell for i was on hs80m for sometime thinking the new hs7 would be better for my small room
i wish i had kept the hs80m so much more detail
YES ADAM BEST
HS7: 4:21
ADAM T7V: 4:53
I am listening on a very very expensive set of coaxial Studio monitors I am R&D ing for a very famous producer
its actually quite surprising to me how different the mixes are.
Yeah man, all studio monitors will have a different quality to some extent; some more than others, but there will always be some difference. That’s why I think it’s so important that everyone have at least two sets of studio monitors; if you’re only mixing on one set of monitors, there’s no guarantee it’ll translate well to all different possible systems
@@primroseproductionsmusic or use one of your best monitors and check in your car ..... :)
there are pro out there that perfer cheaper monitors like this than high end
I presume you have been using both pairs for the same amount off time. Because otherwise it’s not really a fair test. How can mixing a 3 track session really show how good a monitor is…? Monitors need to be adjusted to suit your rooom acoustics and your brain needs to adjust too them. You are more than likely aware of each monitors shortcomings and mixing around them anyway. Much better to hear the monitors side by side then to compare a simple mix session of just 3 tracks. Most sessions in electronic music are at least 20 tracks! Too many variables to be able to compare monitors in this way without hearing them side by side. Better to hear maybe five sessions you have mixed over a few days/ weeks on one pair and then same for another pair. Then it’s easy to hear the differences.
My Room is 7qm.
Do you think the Adam T7V are oversized and i should choose a smaller size Like the Adam T5V?
Thanks for helping me
The Yamaha’s sounded muffled compared to the Adam
Adam's mix is better
Wow you keep saying you turned up the high on Adam then continue to say they were to high shew. Yamaha is flat. Adam amt is superior in every way over inefficient domes. Given use them correctly that is. IMO
i wonder what people are listening on to think the yamahas are better. The mixes are evidence enough in itself, the yamahas sound like a demo mix and the adams sound like a mix ready to be mastered :)
The way i see it is the Yamaha's mixing is going to sound more accurate to what you're going hear on cars end home stereo
hell yeahh i have hs7 with subwoofer krk 8 and after years i can say that they are very accurate!!!! my mix sound pretty good in my car
Yamaha mids and far more natural, Adam due to the tweeter the highs sound louder.
they have sub for Adam speakers.
yes and there is HS8S for Yamaha as well@@MarioDarnadi

Yamaha mix is muddy to mutch low end .. the voc is not in face..
The Adam mix is better in balance are have phasing in the mix!
For me low low low budget monitor is not good for a good mixing.. is ok for producing are not for mixing! Sorry .. bof monior trance late not good the sound.. when you not have a good tredment room!😉
Good room and good monitor is the key for good ckean punch balance mix and mastings!
A speaker sound so good we your room sound!😉
Pro studio ???? Just 620 peoples following you ! :-) :-)
let me think out loud:
The HS7 mix sounds less good (in my opinion).
The Adams mix Is much more alive.
Does this mean the HS7 speakers are more 'alive' /brighter/Louder...
Since the mix needs much less to make it sound the same...
?
Good point 👍
My opinion on the T7V, they are bad. No lows here. Weird mids.
Not very pleasing to listen to. Bought them yesterday and already thinking to bring them back to try out the KRK Rokit 7.
I even can't sleep this night.
I watched other youtube video's of the T7V, and they are right indeed. Very disappointed.
I never liked Yamaha and up until KRK's Rokit G4 series came out...both of these brand of monitors sounded nearly identical(flabby low end and exaggerated mids. ) At least KRK finally improved their Rokit series dramatically & kept the price reasonable...whereas Yamaha still remains the same(just consumer-grade shit-boxes masquerading as pro monitors.) Yamaha monitors are the most over-hyped studio speakers in the business and yet,people continue to fall for the marketing bullshit. A good indication of this,is how Yamaha fudges the numbers in their spec sheets. With the HS monitors,Yamaha claims their dome tweeters deliver a high frequency response of 30kHz(which is absolutely impossible for a dome configuration in this price range.) This type of false advertising is characteristic of low budget companies like Behringer, Samson, M-Audio and the like.....which in my view,makes Yamaha no better than these said companies. Yamaha isn't anywhere near in the same league as Adam Audio....but hey, as long as Yamaha continues to monetarily incentivize TH-cam reviewers to put Yamaha up on a pedestal, we should all just believe that Yamaha is king, right?
“As long as Yamaha continues to monetarily incentivize TH-cam reviewers to put Yamaha up on a pedestal” my guy, did you even watch the video? Because I absolutely did not put the yamahas on the pedestal; I clearly state that I prefer the adams by a longshot 😂😂
@@primroseproductionsmusic I did not mean necessarily that you specifically gave them high praise.....but then...I do wonder why you have them in the first place? Essentially...I am saying that many TH-camrs do give the HS-series high marks and there is a big fan-base(not just from bedroom studio users...but pros & semi-pros. Some will just have Yamaha's in their studios...merely as a point of reference..in terms of how recordings translate to consumers home stereos & the like(which seems like a terrible waste of money,since one can just buy a cheapo stereo from Wal-Mart & it will do the same job.)
I have them to do just that, to see how things will translate. Each set of monitors is different, and everyone should have at least 2 sets of monitors to see how your mixes sound on multiple different sets of speakers, and both of these monitors were in my price range. Sure, I could have instead bought a single pair of monitors that costs twice as much as either of these, but then I’m still stuck with the issue of mixing in a bubble. I’d much rather have 2 sets of less expensive monitors to reference on rather than one expensive set of monitors and have to run out to my car to test a mix 15 times a day
@@primroseproductionsmusic love your last advice of having different sets of monitors! But hust to tell u, i really feel that the guy, above named as Philo is correct about Yamaha's false advertising!! I like them but not more than Adams or Focals!

Что тут говорить Ямаха отстой адамы +
sound adam is similiar like HS7+HS8 .. HS7+HS8 absolutely adam defeated
