Can you please suggest which of these two was the better monitor? I need a monitor for all uses (listening to music, video editing, gaming, etc). Thank you in advance!
jbl got some depth to it which is great for music listening. rokit feels in front of you which is great for monitoring. you can hear everything at equal distances.
Just bought a pair of JBL 305P MKII and i think they sound absolutely fantastic 😊👍 I have them connected to a Yamaha tyros 5 and a computer, and am just very happy with them 👍
Друзья, если вы не знаете что купить себе и смотрите эти обзоры - забейте. Я переслушал множество студийных мониторов и остановился на KRK 5G4 (финансовое положение не позволило взять 8) Целостнее и детальнее за эту сумму вы ничего не услышите) Крайне доволен покупкой. Разумеется, речь о 5"
Had both of them here for testing. They gave me a hard time deciding between the two. The Jbls have the better stereo separation. It was easier to differnciate between instruments and while watching movie or gameplay scenes the sound felt more immersive and and "detailed". I could here small sounds like the clacking of shoes on a street or the opening of a door within a movie. Just because the Jbls showed everything. The Krks on the other hand sound way clearer. And I mean like way clearer. Everytime I went back to the Jbls I felt like someone put a piece of cloth in my ear. So the decision was difficult. Clarity vs stereo separation. Try to imagine deciding between a big TV Screen that wraps around you and a smaller one in front of you. Only thing is the first Tv is 720p and the second one is 1080p. In the end I went for clarity and chose the KRKs.
I know that the frequency graphs are quite similar, but there's something that sounds scooped about the JBLs. They're like anti-Yamaha HS5s. The KRK sounds like they have some of the annoying mids still in there that you want when mixing, without going overboard like the Yamahas.
@@oscarsalinasceh934 The JBL is the bigger, more separating sounding one, so the bigger 720p screen and the KRK is the one with less separation but sounds cleares, so like a smaller HD screen
well yes, i thing KRK have make a good job, really great Speaker. The Back Port from JBL runs in your room better see graph on round 46hz but the Bass from KRK have more Detail, i hear more depth and longer release. The Stereo Field is also better, the Phase is Closer to Original. From Original too JB flip the Phase more as on KRK and maybe is the Stereo Field from JBL a little bit "larger than life".
I agree KRK sounds more coherent, tweeter and woofer sound in Rokit 5 more like one driver than two. JBL feels a bit disconected, but also more smooth and bassy
I just had both of these up on my console I'm returning the JBL's they're mid-rangey with no high-end You can't hear the symbols.. The KRKs are much rounder and more pleasing to listen to..
m100+audigy zxr headphone setup (even 20Hz sounds good with this) : the G4 kick sounds cleaner while the JBl kick sounds distorted and like someone else said the sound is "fuller" winner : G4
4 years later and while I loved the sound of my krk rokit 5 g4 for deejaying house and listening to everything else (with EQ tuning stock they sound off) I do not recommend them at all they are planned obsolescence and all fail one day or later, already replaced one and today after I had to power them off they either turn on but have no sound or blink and also don't work stress not knowing if they are going to turn on and if you'll be able to work with them is not something I recommend and so I'm back here
@@Jaburu Eq? With just 2 db change and “many” of five options? That really means nothing and does not change very much. Even 10-dollar multimedia speakers have a “tone” knob that alters the sound more. These speakers are not flat, they have a high frequency boost that needs to be toned down.
i think they sound equal . krk has subwoofer pointing to the front of the listener. and jbl had the bases in the back that involves all the room but in the video sounds krk" better
Whitch monitor is better for playing guitar. I use Amplitube 3 and Guitar Rig 5. For now I only use headphones on my audio interface, because I only got some Logitech spreakers. My room is 15qm sized. I would sit in front of the speakers, but also stand in the room some meters away. Thanks for your great videos
These are studio monitors. They are more intended for creators for sound mixing and not for end-use audiophile entertainment. So a more "pleasing" sound is not actually their main deliverable. Clarity is of course critical as well as true reproduction and frequency response but these are not the kind of speakers for end-use entertainment. They are in fact intended to be a little flat and generic so that the final mix result would be more adaptable to a variety of hifi/audiophile audio systems that the listener would use eventually.
If you're an audiophile, you'll lsrheky be looking for accuracy, not pleasing colouration. I don't mix much music, but I bought krk for my office music system because I want a flat response as a starting point, then use dsp to correct for my room. No hi fi speakers I've ever owned come close to that tunability, so for me there is no difference. Studio is hifi.
@@steviesteve750 Exactly, "flat" response in its true form is "real sound reproduction". And that's what "real" audiophiles want. Unfortunately the speakers that end-users listen to are just the final equipment in a long process of delivering that actual guitar or drums sound to our living rooms. So what you hear - whether you use studio monitors or standard hifi monitors - are already products of sound mixing by those sound people who worked behind the scenes more to correct discoloration - not to add coloration - to make that CD sound possible before they are released. Anyway it's true, there is not much difference for end-users assuming the sound sources are already excellent to begin with (I use studio monitors myself for listening pleasure, I have both the KRK and JBL) but definitely behind-the-scenes sound engineers would never use standard hifi speakers without the "monitor" word in them in their trade.
@@MrKockabilly I assume you have zero experience in audio and just came across this video by chance. There's only one purpose of a speaker: it's to reproduce the sound as closely as possible. Everything else can be changed by choosing the right dimensions, equalizer settings, DSP etc. Your creators / end-user argument makes little to absolutely no sense at all. What's the real difference is the choice you have to make. Do you WANT to sit in a stereo triangle? Do you WANT an active pair or do you want to power them from a central unit? Do you want the sound level required for them to work or do you want much louder or quieter sound?
I personally loved the sound of the JBLs. They're the pair I bought, but both sound very good. I recommend the JBLs though. Good sound for the price, and you have 2 additional settings on the back you can tweak to your liking.
You can’t go wrong with either one, but I ended up buying the KRKs more than one year ago, and never looked back. That plastic baffle on the JBLs make them look cheap, and the switches feel like they came from the previous century when compared to the KRKs. And the anechoic measurements show that the JBLs are not better than the KRKs (just slightly different on where their major defects are in the frequency spectrum). Several reviewers in the pro market ended up preferring the Rockits, because they’re not only accurate (specially for this price point), but also fun (which is something that can’t always be said with small studio monitors, even more so at this price range). The only downside for me is that upgrading them will require stepping up to a whole different price range, as both the JBLs and KRKs seem to have a better integration between these small woofers and the tweeter than the 8 inch versions (making that transition right at the crossover range demands a lot more quality from both the woofers and tweeters, which doesn’t come cheap. The next step for me is something like the Neumann KH 120 II or Genelec 8030c, which definitely have a much more linear frequency response, along with a clearer presentation (much lower harmonic distortion). But even those will clearly need a good subwoofer if full-range sound (20-20.000 Hz) is needed. The fact is that these two monitors redefined what’s possible with such a low budget, while embarrassing most of its competitors at this price and even a bit higher. They both aim for a linear response, while most of the other well-known brands aim for boosted responses, until you reach much higher price points in their lineup, making you feel that you don’t deserve better until you reach those price brackets. In the end, you can definitely get much better monitors, but be prepared to double the budget (at least).
Hi guys. Which speaker the best for listening to trance, deep house and hiphop. Im not into mixing / producing but appreciate tight and punchy bass, not boomy bass. Tq
@Digital Stereophony right now there’s a deal for $260 for the JBL305p (trs cables included) And $360 for the KRK rokit 5’s (no cables included) i’m just wondering what you would go with in my situtation. I’m beginning to get everything I need for a home studio. not professional just a hobby but hope to one day become professional. I would love to get the krk because they look more like high quality and the reviews are great but 100 dollar difference could be a deal breaker. what would you recommend?
Based on the tracks that heavily featured guitar, I’d choose the KRK, since everything I produce is in the rock genre. They seemed to represent the mid range better; great for guitar and vocal mixing. The JBL had a bit more of an exaggerated hifi sound to my ear, contrary to what the frequency graph said. I feel like they’d throw my ear off when mixing tracks.
I agree. The KRK have that up-front, middy studio monitor sound. Although I gotta say that listening to this video with my eyes closed, I can't always tell the difference.
@@sevchyk My comments were based solely on the video audio comparison. I can tell you from personal experience with the KRK that I don’t find them overly hyped in the treble. But that could also be my room dimensions, treatment (walls about 45% treated), and the way I have them EQd.
Hi Sir! Hope u can response this. I am right now between this 2 speakers. Wich could u recomend is better, for producing, mixing and listening. All genres.
@@hm829 First of all, keep in mind, as a sound engineer, I don't recommend you mix or master, you either mix or master, don't do both for the same track , Another thing is regardless of what monitor you use, if your room is bad, your monitors will also sound bad or not translate, make sure you get some accoustic panels (not foam) at least one behind each monitor, and on your first reflection points, foam can be used for far back in the room where you may have some high frequencies reflecting , Make sure you get stands so that the monitors aren't directly on your desk, they need to be ear height with tweeters pointed towards your ear and equal distance apart from eachother so when you sit in the middle with your head, it makes a triangle, I'd go for the JBLs personally, for the size and price they're very honest, also take a look at the Cali Audio In8's You can also buy some pre owned Genelecs , Dynaudios, anyway, the JBL LSR are great little monitors and you can use them even when you upgrade to a more expensive system as a great second opinion, they sound very good , they aren't monitors which will lie to you, but their size has limitations, so make sure to use reference tracks and learn them well!
@@joshsmith7812 thank you for you tips!!! I bought the jbl but they had a high ground noise so i have now the yamaha hs5 but i liked the jbl a little bit more apart from the ground noise
The original is an mp3 or wav file of a song. When you see the monitors it's a microphone recording of the sound of the room. They're never gonna sound even close.
Which one would you recommend for a combination of home DJ studio and general audio listening in a relatively large room? I'm deciding between the Adam T5V, JBL 305P MKII, Rokit 5 G4 and Eris 5XT. Which ones are most verstatile?
I have worked on both monitor models. Their sound is very different from what is on the video. I can share my findings. Krk provokes you to add the 6-8 kHz frequency range to the mix, and subtract the 300-700 Hz range. As a result, your mix is thin and too sonorous. JBL has only one drawback - the 13-15 kHz frequency range sounds brighter than it actually is. In all other respects - excellent monitors. At high volumes, they also work dynamically and honestly.
Hello sir, would you suggest me one thing, Actually I am in a confusion between Krk Rokit 5g4 and Kali Audio lp6 ? In my country almost price same . I watch your videos and really helpful. However, I have no acoustic treatment in this time , and my desk almost against the wall . So, if you suggest me an option , it will be helpful to me. Thank you. Love from India. Please help me sir ???
If the space is tight than I would choose RP5 G4, as they sound very good and are much easier to accomodate plus they have nice EQ to adjust it to acoustic conditions. Also RP5G4 has low hiss levels which is important when listening in nearfield
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you very much sir . Also , sir , I want to tell you something that almost 1 month ago I had purchased M-audio bx5d3 , so when I placed that monitors on my desk which is almost against the wall ( just 3-4" gaps ) , I experienced that the sound coming from the speakers are never clear to me , even boomy , muddy and not getting any midrange and after few minutes of listening I feel ear fatigue problems . However , after turn -4db switch , then it was a little correction from , but regarding whole experience I felt very bad for M-audio bx5d3 pairs . However I sold it to my freinds . So , today , that's why I want to make sure myself. Please sir , make a reply.
ADAM T5V ; JBL LSR 305P MKII ; OR these krks? which one is the best for making edm? (They are all similiar price in my country ,so i need only most accurate and best quality overal).THanks
@@greendog2529 for me 305 just sound flatter for me, but srsly we all need to listen irl to determine. I suggest you to check out JBL 308P MKII too, it is the same price as 305 in US Amazon.
maybe flatter and with big 3d sound ,but less detail and depth. Idk really. I am just worried about that treble on Adams,cause it pisses me off :( .I can not look into 308p right now cause of my small room and exceeding budget.
Lequel de ces deux moniteur audio possède le son le plus analytique ? Lequel de ces hauts parleurs dévoilent le mieux les details? Il y a t-il un autre modèle qui soit meilleur encore pour la même gamme de prix?
If I had to choose, I'd go for the JBLs, but in reality none of them. They feel like you have an acrilic screen in front of them blocking the sound; they sound kind of dead. The real deal is in the original sound; it's infinitely richer, fuller and alive; may be not as bright and crisp as with the monitors, but definitely much more fulfilling. What did you play the original on?
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, ...
Кстати разыгрались KRK, но порой кажется что-то как чуть зажато в серединке. Но к ним нужен хороший кабель, я поменял ProAudio на Canare с золотыми ньютриками и небо и земля. Хорошие мониторчики, использую как колонки дома) Эти KRK однозначно лучше Pioneer S-DJ50X, те черезчур басят и слишком сухо играют.
depends on the cables. either xlr to trs or trs to trs (for audiointerfaces with trs connection), these cables go into an audio interface, and then to your computer via audio jack.
I actually own one and they got a very special trick up their sleeves, position in sound with these is fricking UNREAL. In movies I can hear the voice from the actors coming at the actual location of their mouths on screen... so unbelievable.
Hye everyone ! I need some help to make my choice. I'm looking for good afordable speaker. I've been searching for a while and this channel help me a lot (thank you for your work) My budget is quite low so i made a selection of few products that can interest me for the price. My expectations and future use : i'm guitarist and i play on a br 800 (boss multipiste) i don't have any amp and i play mainly with headphones for now. So i'm looking for something that can have a good restitution of sound. Most of the time drum pattern, guitars and bass part done with an octaver .style : from english rock, stonner,punk,metal. I don't have laptop so the mixing part for the moment is really minimal. I may as well use the speakers ocasionally to watch movies and everyday to listen music in general so i want something quite polivalent at the same time. My options: Where i live at the moment the edifier r1280bd 125$ , the presonus 3.5 cost 150$ than the 4.5 250$ and the r1700bt 200$ My conclusion and questions : i like the connection options on the edifier over the eris. i enjoy both for sound quality according to your videos. The eris 3.5 seem to have a better balance sound but a lake of bass and the edifier r1280 sound more hifi EQ. Predominant middle for the bd and a gape in the middle for the T. Both big brother's edifier and eris sound pretty good to me but in different way. A bit afraid by the eris hiss. What do you think will be the best for the use i will have ? I will install it in a room aprox 15 square meters so do you think it's really necessary to get over my budget to get an eris 4.5 or a 1700bt ? Hope to have help from you soon. Thank you !
@@DSAUDIOreview it's not available for what I've seen there is only the b70 for 150$ and b77 For 170$ could it be a better option and why ? Thank you for answering
Than I think R1700BT is Your best bet. It has very low hiss level, has Bluetooth and fair price. Just lower the treble and a bit of bass as well for more natural sound and You will be at home
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you. It's time for fair price on both 1700bt and eris 4.5 so i'll defo gonna get one of those model depending on the offers i found. Both look and sound great so.... I'll post my thoughts of it ;)

Make sure you get stands so that the monitors aren't directly on your desk, they need to be ear height with tweeters pointed towards your ear and equal distance apart from eachother so when you sit in the middle with your head, it makes a triangle,
I'd go for the JBLs personally, for the size and price they're very honest, also take a look at the Cali Audio In8's
You can also buy some pre owned Genelecs , Dynaudios, anyway, the JBL LSR are great little monitors and you can use them even when you upgrade to a more expensive system as a great second opinion, they sound very good , they aren't monitors which will lie to you, but their size has limitations, so make sure to use reference tracks and learn them well!
@@joshsmith7812 thank you for you tips!!! I bought the jbl but they had a high ground noise so i have now the yamaha hs5 but i liked the jbl a little bit more apart from the ground noise
What's the best option to have the sound closer to the original. Any other option?
The original is an mp3 or wav file of a song. When you see the monitors it's a microphone recording of the sound of the room. They're never gonna sound even close.
Which one would you recommend for a combination of home DJ studio and general audio listening in a relatively large room? I'm deciding between the Adam T5V, JBL 305P MKII, Rokit 5 G4 and Eris 5XT. Which ones are most verstatile?
PreSonus Eris E5 XT - the perfect option
I have worked on both monitor models. Their sound is very different from what is on the video. I can share my findings.
Krk provokes you to add the 6-8 kHz frequency range to the mix, and subtract the 300-700 Hz range. As a result, your mix is thin and too sonorous.
JBL has only one drawback - the 13-15 kHz frequency range sounds brighter than it actually is. In all other respects - excellent monitors. At high volumes, they also work dynamically and honestly.
thus lsr305 mk2 you can have a good mix result ? i make chill dance .... i have rp5g3 today and they are not flat ....
What about the hiss? How is it on each?
Hello sir, would you suggest me one thing,
Actually I am in a confusion between Krk Rokit 5g4 and Kali Audio lp6 ?
In my country almost price same .
I watch your videos and really helpful. However, I have no acoustic treatment in this time , and my desk almost against the wall . So, if you suggest me an option , it will be helpful to me. Thank you.
Love from India.
Please help me sir ???
If the space is tight than I would choose RP5 G4, as they sound very good and are much easier to accomodate plus they have nice EQ to adjust it to acoustic conditions. Also RP5G4 has low hiss levels which is important when listening in nearfield
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you very much. Also, sir , if I move my head a little bit from the sweetspot of rokit 5g4, then any panning problem occurs ???
@@DSAUDIOreview and sir one thing my room is 10/12" , Kali audio lp6 will be not good for me???
Nope. RP5G4 image very well and the sweet spot is big. In room like yours I would choose KRK over Kali
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you very much sir . Also , sir , I want to tell you something that almost 1 month ago I had purchased M-audio bx5d3 , so when I placed that monitors on my desk which is almost against the wall ( just 3-4" gaps ) , I experienced that the sound coming from the speakers are never clear to me , even boomy , muddy and not getting any midrange and after few minutes of listening I feel ear fatigue problems . However , after turn -4db switch , then it was a little correction from , but regarding whole experience I felt very bad for M-audio bx5d3 pairs .
However I sold it to my freinds .
So , today , that's why I want to make sure myself.
Please sir , make a reply.
ADAM T5V ; JBL LSR 305P MKII ; OR these krks? which one is the best for making edm? (They are all similiar price in my country ,so i need only most accurate and best quality overal).THanks
for me Adam T5V
@@27455628 why? i am afraid treble (High Frequencies)is going to make me pain in the ear and fatigue
@@greendog2529 for me 305 just sound flatter for me, but srsly we all need to listen irl to determine. I suggest you to check out JBL 308P MKII too, it is the same price as 305 in US Amazon.
maybe flatter and with big 3d sound ,but less detail and depth. Idk really. I am just worried about that treble on Adams,cause it pisses me off :( .I can not look into 308p right now cause of my small room and exceeding budget.
@@greendog2529 so did u get 305?
Lequel de ces deux moniteur audio possède le son le plus analytique ? Lequel de ces hauts parleurs dévoilent le mieux les details? Il y a t-il un autre modèle qui soit meilleur encore pour la même gamme de prix?
si tu veux plus de détails les adam audio t5v sont adaptées ;))
@@zypoalaprod je confirme, le studio où j'enregistre en est muni et zéro faute, c'est un bon compromis
If I had to choose, I'd go for the JBLs, but in reality none of them. They feel like you have an acrilic screen in front of them blocking the sound; they sound kind of dead. The real deal is in the original sound; it's infinitely richer, fuller and alive; may be not as bright and crisp as with the monitors, but definitely much more fulfilling. What did you play the original on?
Is that a genuine question?
@@TechnoMonkeyFarm Yeah, is he serious? The original is the file, @AlexBitz, you are listening to the file not through those speakers.
Krk rokit 5 g4 or Presonus Eris E5 or Fluid Audio F5
Please Tell me. What You Choose ??
Thank you
I choose KRK Rokit 5 G4
krk rp5g4 = pair Fluid audio F5 $
For techno and house music?
JBL 100%
which monitor forn only listening music?
RETRO WAVE!!! :D (what's the track?)
RCF Ayra plz!!
Los KRK me suenan mas fieles a la canción original, los KRK suenan un poco mas planos y con mas detalles.
KRK G4!!
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, ...
Which have more Watts of power?
krk
what does this mean? Do they need more power? Drain more electricity?
@@luisneumannp2748
Well, 2w is needed for most of the passage of the tracks you played, in another words, it meant nothing.
@@andrewlim7751 I don't get it. So the wattage number is not important?
@@luisneumannp2748
I used to have a 2w valve amp, everybody was impressed by it's dynamics. 😁
У KRK, при некоторой схожести АЧХ, не хватает объемности звучания, звук очень далек от оригинала. JBL не оставляет конкуренту никаких шансов.
Кстати разыгрались KRK, но порой кажется что-то как чуть зажато в серединке. Но к ним нужен хороший кабель, я поменял ProAudio на Canare с золотыми ньютриками и небо и земля. Хорошие мониторчики, использую как колонки дома) Эти KRK однозначно лучше Pioneer S-DJ50X, те черезчур басят и слишком сухо играют.

Which is The Best Studio Monitor
Mackie MR 624
Kali Lp 6
Krk G4
On this list? Kali should be the best choice
Never tested MR624 so no opinion on them. Kali vs Rokit 7, I choose Kali
@@DSAUDIOreview Sorry
Mackie MR 524
KALI LP 6
KRK G4
Digital Stereophony why
Digital Stereophony kali or eris5 xt
Snare Reverb is not detailed in KRK
I'm gonna throw these in my daw, Db match them to the original tracks and make them all mono to get them as close as possible

whats the best way to link a pair of the jbl 305s to my PC?
depends on the cables. either xlr to trs or trs to trs (for audiointerfaces with trs connection), these cables go into an audio interface, and then to your computer via audio jack.
The JBL tweeter is weak.. I have em.. I had the old KRKs should have kept them.. I'm switching to the new KRKs..
JBL Wins again.
Wauw they almost sound the same and on the cosmetic side ....pfff both are not so pretty to be honest thanks for da vid 👍👊
I agree that they are not that far away soundwise, but in terms of looks KRK looks much sleeker IMO. Cheers!
I prefer JBL, more flat to music production...
I actually own one and they got a very special trick up their sleeves, position in sound with these is fricking UNREAL. In movies I can hear the voice from the actors coming at the actual location of their mouths on screen... so unbelievable.
Hye everyone ! I need some help to make my choice. I'm looking for good afordable speaker. I've been searching for a while and this channel help me a lot (thank you for your work) My budget is quite low so i made a selection of few products that can interest me for the price.
My expectations and future use :
i'm guitarist and i play on a br 800 (boss multipiste) i don't have any amp and i play mainly with headphones for now. So i'm looking for something that can have a good restitution of sound. Most of the time drum pattern, guitars and bass part done with an octaver .style : from english rock, stonner,punk,metal. I don't have laptop so the mixing part for the moment is really minimal. I may as well use the speakers ocasionally to watch movies and everyday to listen music in general so i want something quite polivalent at the same time.
My options:
Where i live at the moment the edifier r1280bd 125$ , the presonus 3.5 cost 150$ than the 4.5 250$ and the r1700bt 200$
My conclusion and questions :
i like the connection options on the edifier over the eris. i enjoy both for sound quality according to your videos. The eris 3.5 seem to have a better balance sound but a lake of bass and the edifier r1280 sound more hifi EQ. Predominant middle for the bd and a gape in the middle for the T.
Both big brother's edifier and eris sound pretty good to me but in different way. A bit afraid by the eris hiss.
What do you think will be the best for the use i will have ?
I will install it in a room aprox 15 square meters so do you think it's really necessary to get over my budget to get an eris 4.5 or a 1700bt ?
Hope to have help from you soon.
Thank you !
I will suggest different "solution" to your issue - Microlab Solo 6C. Is it available in your country? If yes than how much is it?
@@DSAUDIOreview it's not available for what I've seen there is only the b70 for 150$ and b77 For 170$ could it be a better option and why ? Thank you for answering
Than I think R1700BT is Your best bet. It has very low hiss level, has Bluetooth and fair price. Just lower the treble and a bit of bass as well for more natural sound and You will be at home
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you. It's time for fair price on both 1700bt and eris 4.5 so i'll defo gonna get one of those model depending on the offers i found. Both look and sound great so....
I'll post my thoughts of it ;)
If your on a budget, than any Edifier speaker would be great.
