    I got these yesterday after listening to these and all the others he mentioned in this video. Im a heavy metal musician and after listening to some metal at the store I found these to sound the best. the KRKs were good, low end didnt sound as good to me as bx5s. Yamahas had no low end. and the MR5s were good too, but the low end didnt seem tight enough for me. They appeared to have too much boom for my liking. For metal I noticed the bx5s to be the best choice suited to my tastes.

    Very helpful thank you. Looking for new monitors for home recording and sound engineering.

    swan mkiii is better for the price

  4. DollaTwo says:

    What happens if you push down on the little bubble on the top of the speaker?

  5. TehGmodAddict says:

    Are these speakers good for bass songs? Like house and DnB?

  6. olfkin says:

    is it good to turn off the monitors without turning down the volume knob to zero…??

    what does the guy mean at 1:40 when he says, ”power supply switchable don’t forget its important”

    i bought these bought 4 months ago just for general use music/gaming/movies and there excellent very loud and the sound holds up through the volume, only thing is the low frequencys seem to be louder than the bass might be to do with the monitor aspect though. Good value imo though nothing on this price beats my old logitech crap ;p

    good vid except when you said, you tried them and they were loud why didnt you play them in the vid and max them out a little, to give us a taste of their sound

    The 8 inch versions of these monitors are our primary monitors. Solid build, nice response, good imaging. They arent totally flat, but no studio monitors are – that’s a marketing tool. But these speakers are great and they seem to be overlooked. For the price, you really cant go wrong.

    @orangeguy81 just for the record, I’m not getting paid – our reviews are completely independent

  13. orangeguy81 says:

    I use these speakers every day and they are amazing. My room, however, not. The imaging is very good, but IMO could be better, but that may be my room. I would recommend them for both mixing and listening. Also keep in mind, if BT mixed a 110 piece orchestra on them I thing they are good enough. Oh, and why would he talk about other monitors in the review if he is getting paid?

  14. Jer0mmel says:

    Nice review.
    But how do they compare to the seemingly identical (except for the wave-guide) ESI nEAR 05 Experience?
    Even the view inside the port is the same!

    170€

    I own a set, and his assessment is acurate. I got the pair for $250 on sale at guitar center. For the price, I think they are exceptionally clear on the high end, but are lacking in bass response versus the Bx8′s, for the price, they are a great buy.

  17. bmc510 says:

    how do i connect these to a m-audio fasttrack input? if you answer I’ll sub. lol

  18. YukiLT says:

    Can these speakers beat through acoustic drums?

  19. robdrums69 says:

    @SandBox86 your comment doesnt even make scence

  21. cbettin77 says:

    @sonicstate im making my home audio studio, you think that the BX5a its the best option for me???
    I have 300us aprox…….youll maybe know a better product…please help me.

  22. niall2552 says:

    i’ve had these awhile now, there cheap and cheerful! had good results with them and you deffo wont get another set of monitors as good for the same sort of money!

  23. upindatassasaurus says:

    People always talk about which monitors are good and which are crap. For every one that says a particular monitor is nice, another will call it garbage. But, I’ll tell you that room acoustics are about just as important as the monitors themselves. You have to have decent acoustics to even tell if a monitor is accurate or not. Some think that they can slack on treating the room. If you think that, you have alot to learn, generally speaking…

  24. theSOUNDinterpreter says:

    @SandBox86 you have issues.

    BTW sonicstage, it sounds like you have a small clip of radiohead’s backdrifts in your introduction. am i right?

  25. CS5n531 says:

    I understand that this video is two years old, but these fit my price range and seem to be worth the cash. Is there a better set that is similar (can be other brands than M-Audio) that can handle heavy bass in a loud fashion?
