  • One of the cheapest audio solutions, these monitors [amzn.to/1HRei9j] possess some good and bad traits. Being plastic never helps but for this price it sure beats whatever the equivalent Logitech speakers you could buy.

    What type of cable connects the left to the right? What cables does this use all together?

  • @Gaijin101

    Sounds like an acceptable "upgrade" for entry level digital pianos. Especially with the headphone out as some DP only have one audio out.

    When mixing just for volume levels as an amateur song-writer doing home recordings, are they still worth it? I'm not expecting great quality, but if it can help me get the bass level right when a song is played back on both a mobile phone and then a car stereo, that's all I need. That's the only thing that headphones can't do for me. Again, I'm amateur so the quality of my recordings doesn't need to be radio-friendly, I'm just after something that will help me get the bass levels matching the rest of the song... Cheers!

      Go for the behringer studio 50 USB. They should do the job and are cheap too (~120$)

      This was the question I was looking for. I'm just starting out with some home recording, just for fun and entertaining friends. I've had great results from everything I've had from Behringer so far so just trying to buy smart, even if I have to do a bit of work myself to make them better

    You should try the Behringer Studio 50 USB. I'd love to see a comparison between those and the JBL LSR 305. The Behringers will probably get destroyed, but I have them and I think they sound pretty great.

    hey z reviews I'm on a tight budget for a new set of speakers (no sub needed for now); I'm currently looking at the behringer ms40s (137 euro) Can I get these and connect them to the fiio e10k dac back output? they are already amped but I heard the line out on the back of a fiio e10k is unamped and uses the DAC? is this a good idea?

    • @ZReviews
      @ZReviews  7 лет назад

      you can. And you can. But these are pretty bottom of the barrel.

  • @everkief8365

    These monitors are a good compromise between portability and affordability. I traveled for my living for years and I kept a pair of these in my luggage. When I got to the hotel I plugged them into my computer or other device and the sound was at least good, with various useful input options and at least a bass and treble adjust they made most devices sound better. I used to practice my instrument through them while sending music to accompany through another channel: that's a very rare option on such cheap (yes, I said it) "speakers." I believe they were better when Roland first designed and manufactured 20 years a ago or so. I've owned both the Roland and the first set branded as behringer and they sounded good as well. The earlier models I mentioned had the tweeters properly located as well. They are not designed for professional applications.

      No, you need to power both. You can just share signal from your source with both.

      @sanderhoogeland9161 3 года назад +1

      This may be a bit late, but from what I have been reading, Edifier makes some pretty decent cheap speakers. They may be worth looking into if you are still looking for speakers.

      Usually you add a sub but I have added the GoRack [amzn.to/2i5FZsx] and used that to improve the low end on my Airmotiv6's with great results.

      SpaceMusic good speakers for under 50 dollar just dont exist bro... Knowing that some basic good quality monitors will cost around 300 dollars. So i guess something in the range of 100 dollars is more than acceptable.

    Should I buy m audio av 32 or ms 16 or Logitech z 623 if I want to listen to music and watch movies. All these are 1/3 rd the cost of lsr 305s where I live. Should I go all out and buy the jbl. This is for a small bedroom. Cheap amps like lepai cost a lost of money where I live. So it is illogical to do a amp speaker setup.

      Depth level is terrible. Even the Hercules DJSpeaker 32 Party monitors are better. I used to have the Hercules DJ 2.0 something from 2012 - 2017, because of a small home studio and they sounded véry good in that 6 square meter room. The DJSpeaker 32 Party one's are exactly the same, except for the funny disco light addition. They're available for 90 euro, while the MS16 set is available for 80.

      @45rpm. 7 лет назад +2

      Ian These speakers have an annoying quality to the sound, it must be the responce curve that is all over the place. It is more annoying when listening to them carefully, for instance when trying to use them as studio monitors (they are called studio monitors but are actually no good for that). I have used them connected to a TV because they gave a more powerful sound than the built in speakers and they where OK for that and with an added sub they would be be even better - when used as TV, garden or music-while-you-work speakers or similar.
