Customer Reviewsfrom Dayton, OH June 21, 2011 Music Background: Hip-Hop and EDM Producer, Engineer, Student Best Monitors in its Price Range, HANDS DOWN!I bought these monitors a little while ago and I wanted to have my own in depth personal experience first so I could be able to share a candid review. First off, if you stumbled upon this page looking for a pair of monitors that suits your budget, you will be making a huge mistake browsing elsewhere. The only reason you should look at other monitors is if you don't produce bass heavy genres such as hip-hop and electronica. The Rokit 5s and Rokit 6s will produce the same results for a cheaper price, however it will be harder to monitor heavy basses. So if you're not in the genres I just mentioned, then you should look at those models (or you could still get these because the bass really does kick =) ).The Rokit 8s (or any KRK monitor) really are the prime definiton of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out), for whatever you hear coming from them, you will hear the same thing on your home stereo, iPod, or in your car. I've produced several tracks since I've had these and on the sites where I post them, people comment on how well the production quality of my mixes sound. And I don't have to cross reference as much as you would with cheaper alternatives (cross referencing is still important though, don't disregard it). Now for some more technical talk. The bass response on these beauties is amazing. For those who don't have the budget for subwoofers, these definitely will do the trick. The mids are a taaad bit heavier than flat, but it's barely noticeable and with a little time your ears will work around them. The tweeters are very good quality, and you'll hear everything from the audible frequency spectrum that tweeters are intended to produce. Honestly, I couldn't recommend another pair of monitors in this price range. Heck, since these always get the job done, I don't think I could recommend another pair of monitors period. These things are a complete steal and if you don't consider them then you are making a huge mistake...trust me... from Boston MA August 13, 2011 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Producer, Pro Musician. Outperforms many monitors in this price rangeAfter about 6 months of looking for a pair of monitors I chose these for the front firing bass port. I tried HS80s, Focals, and JBLs. For my room, these sounded the clearest and seem to have the best features. They may not be the flattest monitors, but if FLAT is what you are looking for, adjust your budget accordingly. I use these in conjunction with the Focusrite VRM box for mixing. The dynamic rage capable on these monitors is really quite spectacular. The only complaint I have is the soundstage is very very wide and I had to put these on stands about 4 feet from my head to really get the most from the low end. There is a sweet spot youll have to find and when you do, you'll be blown away.from Cincinnati, OH USA May 19, 2011 Music Background: Musician/Producer Sound GreatI have owned these for over a year and absolutely love them. They are the first studio monitors I've had so I don't have anything to compare them to, but all of my mixes translate to every other system I test them on, from cars to headphones. They are capable of getting very loud, and have very good clear bass.from April 28, 2011 Great monitorsThese monitors sound great. Only problem is that they are quite big for a home studio.from Florida August 15, 2011 Music Background: All over the place Ground loop noise... only problemthere okay if your running through the balanced plug.. If your going to goRCA connection your going to get a hum from you computer. You'll need a little piece of gear called the HumX..goes between the cable connections As far as sound there good with a small pair of speakers I use them with a pair of M-Audio.. The sound is just awesome. If you get these and use a pair of speakers that will pick up the high ends you won't need a sub woofer.. I happy with my purchase
