YAMAHA Hs5 Powered Studio Monitor, Pair

Amazing monitors! The sounds is great and I use them for mixing and mastering music in my studio (still setting up). The quality is great. The speakers themselves are heavy and definitely not cheaply made. I payed $395 for them I think, which isn’t bad compared to other brands, but I know they can be as low as $300 during Black Friday and other promotional deals. The speaker function as intended and connection is stable. The are not huge, so you can easily place them where needed. And the sleek design is nice.

Purchased mainly to monitor the Kemper and Lava Studio. Sounds absolutely amazing! Handles guitar tones perfectly. Stereo imaging is also fantastic. For the price, you can't beat these monitors.

Not sure they are worth the price compaired to other lower priced brands, but I am satisfied with the quality and sound.

I got these for a small, living room setup. These replaced a pair of Presonus Eris 4.5s. This was a HUGE difference coming from the ERIS 4.5s. Straight off I noticed more detail and a wider stereo field. I was able to hear things in my last ERIS mixes that I could not before. I’ve had these for several months now and I still very much enjoy tracking, mixing and listening on these. I drove myself nuts reading reviews and going back and forth between these and a couple of other options. I am 100% happy with this decision. For the room and the music I make which is roots, rock, guitar instrumental and some podcasting they are perfect. I’d probably rate these 4.5 stars but since there are no 1/2 stars I went with 5 because I do feel they are better than 4 for sound quality and performance for price. Hope this helps someone.

I was looking for monitor speakers that play nice with guitar sounds (not too bassy.) These speakers seemed to be one of the top recommendations among guitarists for the price. Currently I'm running a Vox Tonelab SE into the TRS inputs with instrument cables and a Line6 Flextone 3 via the XLRs. I had an old Atomic FRFR cab, but it decided to go up in smoke the other day. Right out of the box, no EQ, they sound good. Looks like unless you are playing on stage or maybe in rehearsal, no need for any FRFR cab at home or in the studio.

Bought these to edit audio in indie film. Perfect, they seem to get me the actual sounds that were recorded, instead of distorting with false bass like other "music listening" speakers would impart. Must pair with a Focusrite (or similar) audio interface for best results.

Only had Krks to compare these to. Not overbearing on the bass. Nice pleasant and balanced sound. Love playing my mixes back on these. Would buy again

I ordered the 1st “pair” on Prime and they sent me a single speaker. I raised a case immediately to get an actual “pair” (two speakers) sent to me and Amazon told me it would be rush shipped since I have prime and also run a studio and needed these right away because I took down my old small near field speakers. I didn’t receive the correct pair until almost TWO whole weeks later! I called after a week to check on the order when I got a notification that there was an “delivery exception” and Amazon said the pair was damaged in shipping and they needed to send me yet another new pair. Ugh. As far as the speakers are concerned, these are excellent monitors though. I had them several years back and “upgraded” to a much larger and more expensive pair of KRK’s but after a couple of years I realized my mixes weren’t coming together as fast or as easy as when I had the HS5’s. I still have the KRK’s bc I like the bass response but the HS5’s reveal so much detail and clarity in the mids and uppers frequencies and are perfect for getting vocal balances. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone especially at this price point but my purchasing experience this time around was absolutely awful so I took off one star.

It’s incompatible with UAE sockets. It’s gone and till Now I could not understand why it doesn’t work. Compete waste.

Very happy with this purchase. No issues at all. Happy to add them to my music set up.

Muuuuito boas!!!

Good studio monitors. Great for just listening to music as well.

كانت هناك سماعة لا تعمل نهائيا وقمت بتجربة السلك الاخر للسماعة الاخرى حيث من الممكن ان يكون العيب في السلك ولكن لم تعمل ايضا اما السماعة الثانية فهي تعمل لكن هناك صوت تشويش مزعج
