Well done DS. Very close sound wise. I have read many times that the JBL build quality needs a little improving. The less seams on a speaker the better.
I really want to replace my old my Alesis M1 Actives (MK II). One died and I'm so used to them, after 15+ years. It looks like the landscape has changed, just wondering if I should take a chance of a less name brand recognized as JBL has a long hi-fi legacy. KRK got pretty big after my 2006 purchases (my old Mackie VLZ 1642 mixer is still going, as is one of the two Alesis). The fundamental thing I've learned from my setup and building several others is that expensive monitors guarantee nothing; nor does a great room or any other factor that you can throw money at. Instead the objective is to gain knowledge of how a mix will translate to as many systems as possible. Of course within reason, you can't be familiar with every consumer device, but you can get to know all the major categories, their freq response and then make a series of trade offs based on where the mix is expected to be heard. My old a relatively cheap workhorse Alesis pair was pretty much beginner but I would buy another in a heartbeat after getting to know it so well. It was active, no fancy stuff in back, the woofer had a 75w amp and 6.5" diameter cone. Years of listening to my favorite music, my own mixes and of reference songs that sounded good on popular consumer gear that I wanted my mixes to sound competitive on when played back. Surprisingly I managed to outlast several fads, large scale and audiophile oriented, e.g. earbuds and different hi-fi systems, various "audiophile' headphones especially were the more recent change as of late, with their weird ass freq curves i.e. a pair of Beats headphones I owned had a huge bass boost (75-80?) and a notch at 12khz or so...a lot of mixes in the rock world sounded pretty crap, as did a lot of 90s House and EBM, depending on where the cut and boosts were. Car speakers, but built in and subheavy replacements also mount different challenges.
Without listening to these speakers and looking at their respective freq. resp. curves they are closely matched. They should sound "similar," drivers tonality should place an important role here. Another very important aspect I request Digital Stereophony to conduct is the directivity test(no success so far)this will show off the speakers soundstage. The JBL should have better directivity therefore changes the soundstage reproduction as you will find here. Both sound quite good.
For me JBL isn't great for mxing in that 1k range (I have them), I always want to overhype it which translates to a bit of a nasally mix. Again these are just tools depends what your needs are. but I think listening to them should have fun, not just a flat EQ. Same way you tune a room, you don't want it totally dead.
Hello there i want to start to record my electric guitar and listen to music especially (death metal)witch monitors will suite me better? as a beginner i have no clue what to buy looking for good quality but affordable as well thank you very much
Similar performance, but the lack of presence in the 308p is still very noticeable to me, it's like when you make a cup with your hands and put it over your mouth. BTW, I hate this channel. I decided to buy JBL because hearing these comparisons, I learned that the 305p and lsr305 are awesome, and now only after I bought the 308p, you start to test it and tell me the speaker is actually crap, oh thank you
Doesn't make any sense. The tweeters are the exact same on all jbl models, the driver is larger and it's tuned differently for it's purpose@@heliopijpe
@@keshermedia you like the coloration from plastic better? I think wood is better for natural instruments, but not sure about the vocals and the emotion. Anyway often plastic coloration reminds me of the cheaper speakers.
I think it's not a realistic comparison ... KRK sounds more clearly and cristal clear, while JBL sounds more dumper, dull, muffled, hollow and basal weighty, ...
@@sergeysmelnik ha ok ... Digital Stereophony said on the video with RP5 G4 that the G4 generation has no hiss sound ..... i dont tried it. But i tried the LSR305 and directly return them because the hsss sound was horrible :)
@@ChrisBessy well the ones tested here are the 8 inchers which send more power to the woofer and tweeter so they hiss far more than their 5 inch counter parts. Hes right about the rp5 barely hiss at all because their wattage is so low.

Could you please name the author of the song “Dream a dream” that you often use in your videos🙏
WOWW ! JBL sound so clear, spacial ! very good ! thanks a lot for this battle !
Could you give us some cheap supermarket speakers vs monitors?
Well done DS. Very close sound wise. I have read many times that the JBL build quality needs a little improving. The less seams on a speaker the better.
thank you for the comparison, great learning experience!
KRK more transparent
JBL dark
Thanks for all the comparisons, it is very valuable. Please do Kali LP8 vs IN8 as well, thanks.
Hola, que buenas revisiones. Ojala puedan hacer una comparación entre klipsch the fives vs the sixes.
Saludos desde Chile.
listening on some behringher ms40s, and the JBL has a more definite sound to the KRK sounding more enhanced/rounded off ......

Anyone know which of these have a better deeper bass response?
Both perform very well.
Hi! I'm missing a lot Presonus R65 on this channel, especially vs. Adam or probably Tannoy Gold. Could you please evaluate it for us?
I own a pair of r65. Very good speakers
both was cool have to get mix refrencee eeand creaetivvity stuff matters!

Then h should Sergio your own channel and those comparisons yourself.

please do comparison PRESONUS Eris E3.5 and new M-AUDIO BX3
Which ones should i get the Edifier R1280DB, R1700BT, R1600T III or the R1800T III ?

@Learn Something in price range of the adam t5v
@Learn Something unfortunately it will be a blind purchase
@Learn Something if cheaper than the yamaha, is there a good products cheaper?
KRK little better!👍🤔🧐
No...
jbl is flatter

The 305's are,, alot better than the 5 inch KRK's but in this case it's the other way around
Doesn't make any sense. The tweeters are the exact same on all jbl models, the driver is larger and it's tuned differently for it's purpose@@heliopijpe
Both have specific plastic coloration.
@@keshermedia you like the coloration from plastic better? I think wood is better for natural instruments, but not sure about the vocals and the emotion. Anyway often plastic coloration reminds me of the cheaper speakers.
JBL 🤘
Useful, thanks
The violin of "Bellissimo" track on JBL 308P MKII sound just horrible.
Like your hearing...
In this versus whats ir better ? Jbl o krk
Krk sound more crisp. Jbl sounds clearer
I think it's not a realistic comparison ... KRK sounds more clearly and cristal clear, while JBL sounds more dumper, dull, muffled, hollow and basal weighty, ...
JBL winner 🏆 May be HEDD?????
Krk had more detail. Warmer less clinical sound. More enjoyable to listen to.
No..
KRK is better than JBL
Nope
i prefer the sound of KRK .... and i think JBL has hiss sound because 305P has it.
Bro they both have hiss. But yeah I prefer the sound of the krks
@@sergeysmelnik ha ok ... Digital Stereophony said on the video with RP5 G4 that the G4 generation has no hiss sound ..... i dont tried it. But i tried the LSR305 and directly return them because the hsss sound was horrible :)

Both are same
JBL is an anomaly.
You can get that sound for about $38.5.
The clown came to the comments😂😂😂
If it's not a yellow cone like you see in studios it's not good😂
Idiots
