Clair, basse profonde

Un son exceptionnel, très précis dans les highs, et des basses profondes

An absolute game changer in my studio

Probably one of the best purchases I ever done. Power and transparence combined!!

glad I got the 8" woofers

Were a big upgrade from my Alesis Monitor Ones that I had forever prior. I still want the powered sub to go with, but the 8" woofers satisfy me enough without bothering the neighbors and function as solid nearfields that I haven't felt the urge as strongly as I thought I might. I blew tweeters once every couple of years with my Monitor Ones, but after like a decade I haven't had a single issue with these, and I do tend to spend some serious time in the cranked up zone. I prefer to monitor loud, and these handle it fine without ear fatigue. My only issues are being in a room that could still use a lot more tuning that I have acoustic treatments to cover. In addition to recording studio use, they double as multimedia speakers for everything online, and for impromptu DJ sets in the studio and sound great on all tasks. They are fairly flat in response which is what you want in a nearfield reference monitor. They are very cost effective for the rather stunning level of performance at this price point. There are aftermarket mods for the few flaws that hardcore audiophiles might notice.

Best in the price range.

Amazing monitors with an extremely flat frequency response. I previously used HS7 monitors but found them to be severely lacking in bass. Upgrading to HS8s has solved this issue without the need to purchase secondary bass speakers or a subwoofer, but it is worth noting that the HS8s are massive (both the HS7s and HS8s are heavy). Would recommend.

Bang for the Buck!

Firstly, I would like to start of buy saying speakers are only, may be 30% of your monitoring; your room and calibration is what takes you there. Whatever, speaker brand you like you can't expect them to sound good in an uncalibrated room. Coming to the HS8, I know the speaker in and out meaning I have not only spent my fair time in mixing but also hearing other commercial music from perhaps all genres, both good and bad! There is no right or wrong speaker, there is just a speaker which is right or wrong for YOU! I would recommend that you go hear out a bunch of speakers and decide but once you decide STICK WITH THEM, it takes a lot of listening to get used to a speaker. If you don't have the luxury to demo studio monitors and these babies are within your budget, go for it and don't look back - iamplicit

Nearly perfect for the price, especially if you take care to really learn how your equipment translates the music you know

That much is clear: every price point has inherent limitations associated with it. I won't comment on all the things you've probably already read about the HS8 - they are most likely all true. I will, however, say this: once you've learned to make peace with the slight bass 'hump' around the 50-80Hz spot, and once you know exactly how your (and other) tracks sound, this is a very good option. That said, as with most sub-$1,000 models, the bass will slightly overpower the lower mids in untreated rooms, but that's a small price to pay, and, arguably, something you'll face with almost every pair below the $1,000 mark. The upper mids is where the HS8 really shines - and that's an important place to shine, at least to me. This goes for vocals, just as it does for all instruments in the vocal range. Very lifelike 800Hz-10KHZ representation!

Transparent monitors DO exist!

I had to go through M-Audio (UGHH!) and other companies before discovering Yamaha's HS line...and thank goodness I did! these sound clear and transparent in a way that I simply have never heard from other monitors before! pricey as the 8 series are, it's definitely worth it to wait to afford those instead of getting the smaller HS7 or below models where you'll only lose more and more of the bass. Mixing with your monitors is just SO critical, so it's super important to pick a set that's not just gonna get give you a muddy sound.

Check these out! I promise they'll take your mixes to the next level!

best studio speaker for the money

I have a pair of those and they are as accurate as you can get for the price. Definitely a Semi Pro caliber and definitely can be used professionally as well.

Amazing.

Great way to hear any sound, song, film, or game with absolute clarity. Only downside of getting these is that you won’t trust any other speakers or earbuds anymore because you damn well spoiled yourself.

Why I like and hate these simultaneously

My ears are well shot what with working on construction sites and factories for most of my life .... These seem to give me a brutal , honest and clear glass mirror image / interpretation of what ever I am working on at the time
