Best choice for electronic producers

You will find a jungle out there, which one is the best monitor? ah ah ah. There is no best monitor.

But, if you are willing to produce any kind of eletronic music and you are in a low budget but want to take that step... these are definately for you. Also if you want to use them in your Home Studio.. these are front ported and this means that you can place them near the wall without any problem.

Very loud, warm and sexy. It is true that they have a heavy and colored bass.. but consider that as a producer that is what rokits makes it more fun to produce with instead on producing with for example Yamaha HS monitors. Anyway, you will learn them and you will love them.

Ah, go with the 6 and not the 5 if you dont want to add a subbass later.

Really awesome so far; mid frequencies seem to be attenuated a bit but I could get used to it.

Bought these just today after listening to a few models at Guitar Center. After listening to several competing models like JBLs, KRKs, and possibly M-Audios, I kept coming back to the KRK Rokit 6s (over the 5s, which had poor bass response and the 8s, which were too big/expensive at the time being). So far, I'm really happy with these. They provide a pretty good picture of my music. However, the frequency response seems to have some dips around the 400-500 Hz area. After getting used to hearing other songs on them, though, that shouldn't be much of a problem.

Okay to begin with, but beware the bass port...

I recall buying these and being initially excited. I picked them over several other mid-price monitors a blind review. They seemed to suit the music I most enjoyed listening to. After trying to mix on them, however, I found some challenges in the low to low-mid frequencies. After treating my room (no small effort - it took a month of construction) and purchasing some Focal SM9s, I was able to listen to them very critically. A good room will reveal a great deal of turbulence created by the bass reflex port. I still keep them as a second reference system as they often show me when I've pushed my mids and highs too much. For the money, not a bad monitor to start with.

Amazing Monitors

Those monitors are truly amazing and well worth the money. They have a very clear sound, flat enough for mixing/mastering while remaining very enjoyable to listen to. The low-ends are really nice, almost enough without a sub in my opinion, although the 8" version would be perfect for that use.

Very good sound

The monitors are very good, the give you a nice warm sound that makes every listening with it very fun, but also gives many details. They not that clean like a Yahama, but much warmer and base-heavier than most of the monitors.

Would 100% recommend

I have been using these monitors for almost a year now and i couldn't be more pleased with how they sound, i would 100% recommend to anyone who needs a pair of inexpensive high quality monitors.

Good initial monitors, lack flat response but can be worked around to get a very solid mix

Got these as my first pair of monitors. Seem to be great monitors but a bit bass heavy. You can get solid mixes once you know your way round the monitor! It can be extreeemely loud and bass-y so I had to move down to KRK 5's in order to not get kicked out of my house.

4/5

yuck

sold them. they are overrated shite, things this entry level shouldn't exist. gets tiring hearing the tin eared whove never heard anything more impressive than their cousins car stereo praise them for being less than totally awful

Great monitors!

I really like making music on these. These are great for a home studio! Don't forget that it's very important to change what you're listening to your music on so that you can get it to sound good on everything!

Secondary Set

Secondary set of reference monitors! These are awesome to reference with are perfect for those with a smaller budget!
