![Z Review - Adam T-Series [ T5v & T7v -The New Benchmark-]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qGT98cm9Z5M/mqdefault.jpg)
Never laughed so much to review, while still actually getting a solid review 10/10
Just buff the shiny plastic away with paper towels until it's matte.
Microfiber towels
Chaotic good
I've had the same problems with the shiny plastic but I've easily cleaned it with some LCD screen cleaning solution and a micro fibre cloth.
I love how passionate he is about shinny plastic I feel that 😂😂😂
Just bought a pair of these for music listening in my living room. I compared them to the Kali Audio TP6s which I thought would suit me better because of the ability to customise the settings based on where the speakers sit in a room. The JBLs blew me away. I'm a casual listener who listens to a wide variety of music (classical - jazz/soul - electronic) and they are beautifully resonant, clear and exciting. THANKS ZEOS !
In which way are better than the Kalis?
7:40 now this is how much you love your speakers.
i just keep watching your reviews and i cannot decide what power speakers i want :-( so many good speakers and listening to most i love the sound of all of them. keep up the good work mate. hopefully one day i can fill my lounge with amazing sound
great review. I came here for your opinion on the JBL's. I got that plus I learned a few things AND I was entertained! You're the Lewis Black of audio!
im digging that review.My friend have lsr 305,wee room with acoustic panels, bass traps, carpet on the floor plus curtains on the doors etc etc. Was blown away after when I heard them first time. Its exactly how you said about the head between speakers. I could point out with fingers where vocals coming from. Separation of sounds, clarity and that I don't know... stage feeling. My wife have no clue about stuff like that, but I told her just to sit for a few moments and give it a try, she had shivers and all over. Love them
BOSKEE are the hiss as bad as people say?
The song at 16:08 is Te Llevare by Tuilo Zuloaga.
now i gotta sample that shizz
Thanks for all the info! I never thought that i would want to know more about audio and speakers. Now I own the LSR 305 (the piano black 30X from massdrop, They are crazy to keep clean.) , OriGen+ dac , and damn for around $300 for the setup I'm in love.
Great video! You earned a new sub! Also, a smooth 95k views 1 year later. 👍🏻
Just received the 308P the other day, amazing monitors! Upside down is the way these need to be placed! Z, I’m a fan of your trickery lol 👍🏻
I just got the LSR305's today, really happy with them. I thought they was faulty at first, as they kept popping on a bass test video. Turns out it was just the video, doesn't happen with anything else, even a frequency sweep at max volume no pops. Love them.
"I saw a baby drive a truck
I saw a junkie eat a tuba"
Instant pause*
"It's perfectly centered"
I love this channel
Kendry Jimenez LMFAO
22:31
You couldn’t script that better if your life depended on it. That was just perfect. 😂
I purchase the JBL 305P MkII for my home office, killer speaker!!!
Jesus I never saw such passionate revie of speaker monitors. Im gonna get these, sold!
Z Reviews you're awesome, great personality. Don't know if you're aware of how much room acoustics play in sound projection. Just like the corner you walked into, the bass suddenly was exentuated. Room and placement is very important to get the juice out of any speakers. My ego thought otherwise for years.
Right again.. wow amazing and so much fun to listen to!
Listening this through my JBL 305s that i bought thanks to your recommendation. Have been extremely happy, got them cheap second hand.
jannu jokunen same lol
I could get a pair for 210 right now, just need sum moneyyy and approval from dad :/
Syd Bailey they run for 149 on amazon
Syd Bailey ohh I see lol that is lucky but I bought 2 of the “308p mk2” I’ll let you know how they sound next week
@@dredayonnabeat do they sound good ?
I had that exact same chair when I was younger. Then it broke. I was really sad. But now I have LSR 305s and now I am happy.
Herman Miller Aeron's have a 10 year warranty.
Now that you mention it, I really should look for "Test Your Might" in FLAC or at least 320-MP3. It's sacrilege that I still have it in just 128 craps/s.
If you find it let me know. I lost my CD years ago.
One word: soulseek
Mortal kombat? Shouldn't it be shit quality? ;D
@@Astralify I completey forgot about soulseek, I used it for years and it was great.
Thanks for the review. Would be interesting to watch a review on lsr310s. I know it's not that powerful compared to svs or rhythmic but still considering the specs it's a quite decent music sub for a medium, small room. And lsr310s will complement lsr305 perfectly well.
I find it funny that other people have a problem with you placing speakers upside down. I run my KEF Q100's upside down on my desk right now so I can avoid obstructing the speakers with my monitors. Awesome review Zeos
It's like you read my mind with the anime girl and the vertical monitor... You just won a subscriber :D
Just found your channel and just went out to find new speakers without experience so fitting video thx
Whups bought them
With Fluance (Ai60 around the same price) and other budget speakers, are these still the best?
I have the 308P Mk2 for my home dj setup they sound fantastic.
I luv it shiny. Too dull if matted. Sounds TOPS!! I bought 3 pairs for my studio man cave. It changes the sound game. Drench the airwaves with amazing sound
How would you rate the Vanatoo T ZEROs ($359) against the JBL 305p (and in the scheme of desktop speakers)?
Ryan Andersen Yes this and the Vanatoo T1
16:08 That was "Te Llevare" by Tulio Zuloaga, 19 seconds in. Also have you played with loudness correction on the 305? Maybe they can compete with the Mackies at low volumes with some dsp.
I've recently got some 305's. They are so f*cking amazing! I thought about getting other monitors because the 305's would be overkill but for 200€(!)....holy cow there is nothing else. Nothing. Period.
Gut zu wissen 😂😂
Timestamp for myself
16:40 What you should do for your nearfield setup. Stands, yoga mats, table, no back wall, etc
so glad you made another video about these. the wife is planning to buy these for my vinyls. except we're getting the 308p. my question is, what do i need to have to play them at the best quality...?
GREAT review!!!!
This review actually made me consider the Swans more....and now for some reason I'm trying to pick between them and KRK Rokit 6s
Great video! So, I will get these for now to try out. Any suggestions for a decent USB Interface?
i thank these came out because i bought on december the old ones for 90 euros each
best speakers for the price EVER
Love you, man! I really care about the "quiet performance" of the MR624 (I was hoping there will be an improvement in that aspect with the LSR MKII, but oh well), but I feel that the JBLs are still clearer (more crystal) sounding somehow, which is something I care a lot about as well.... arghhh... I can't decide... Anyway... Looking forward to the LSR306's vs the Mackies. That will be the final resolution for my problems with life (hopefully).
Def looking forward to a comparison of 305 vs 306, and 306 vs 624. The amp noise on the 305's never bother me. In fact, I only hear it if I put my ear to the tweeter. So, its a non issue.
For vocals, I bought the Mackie mr524 and added the mrs10 sub. Much more accurate in my opinion. The JBLs had more bass but didn't sound as clear and true as the mackies when it comes to vocals.
your mr524 + sub makes a lot of sense. are the mr524 good at low volume ? my 305 are amazing at high volume but meh at low volume (human voice volume). my 305 also have a tweeter hiss i can hear up to 1.5m, does the mr524 also have a tweeter hiss ?
amanieux the mr524 is great at low volume just like how Z describes their bigger brother. Absolutely zero hiss. I turn the dial to full blast on both the 524 and mrs10 sub as well as full volume from source (PC + DAC) and no hiss.
This is a sleeper set up that does not get the attention it deserves. I can not stress how all three bands (hi, mid, and low) sound so accurate and well balanced compared to the JBL speakers and sub.
ok thanks mr524 looks good, affordable price good reviews, good looking, but are you sure the mrs10 sub is the best price/performance ratio you could think of ? (i am sure it is better than entry level sub at $89 www.amazon.com/Polk-10-Inch-Powered-Subwoofer-Single/dp/B0002KVQBA but at 4x the price is it worth it ?) and what about the DAC is it worth it ? do you hear the difference ? i can definitely hear the difference when adding a sub but i am doubtful about a DAC)
I have a Scarlett 2i2 as a preamp/DAC for the LSR305 with my PC, pretty good because it's got the headphone out, balanced TRS out, independent volume outs, and mic inputs with phantom power. Got it used for $50, I think it's worth mentioning if anyone is considering a similar setup.
"Go up, actually." LMFAO
Assuming you get this setup with the 305p hooked up to the origen g2, how do you add a sub? The powered monitors don't have a sub out on the back.
Around 26' you start with these helpful gadgets. Do you know if there's any bluetooth or wireless in general? Like hooking up your playback source (phone, tablet, laptop) and control volume and track from the source directly! Something like a wireless interface if that exists..
Thanks for the review. Great as always 😉
Your sir are very entertaining, and I will get the 305s
I have a pair of these in my studio with some other brand monitors. Surprisingly good, I use them the most.
I got the JBL 308P MKII, and they sound amazing, clarity and enough base. The only thing I don`t like is the hissing sound, but you get used too it.
Would pairing a Micca MS10 with those be a good idea? Currently using them hooked up to a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 and am looking for a subwoofer for under $200.
, I'm lost now, the Jamo S-803s are sold out.
I'm in the market for a really good pair of speakers. do I get these.
they are on sale for $99 bucks each which is really cheap, especially for having an on board amplifier. or get an Emotiva amp and a set of JBL Studio 230s ???
I'm considering the JBL 306s mk2s.
so what do I do, flip a coin ???
Thanks for the video, I tried the 305p mkII the sound is just amazing but I could not stand the hiss it was noticeable on quiet tracks and even 6-7 feet away... are there any alternatives with less hiss?
These are often compared to the Presonus Eris e5 at the same price point as the JBL 305's. Would be great to see you do a review on those. The big difference being that the Presonus bass reflex port is in the front which is much better for those of us with computer desks against the wall.
You answered every question I could have glad I am sending the Mackie's Bluetooth ones back . I just saw to many complaints about their durability. Even though they sound great. Is there any way I can make them sound better at a low volume I do have a Zoom mixer I just bought. I am disabled and getting back into recording my own music. Thanks for your input. Great Review !!!
Hi i have the scarlet 212 soundcard the JBL 305s
and i got a lil confused on the headphone amp which is not as loud as. I'd like when im singing into my Audio track on my DAW.
"ACID" remember them:)? I'm ol skool I use whayever works and the "simplest" .Have no paitence for fruity loops lol. So question can i use the little box ie. (Origen) with my soundcard or (also so have a yamaha mixer MG 10 XU) for headphone boost and speaker control?.☮
Ifi zen dac v2 +these in my desktop.... Good enough for me, thanks Zeos
The mk2 review! 🤩
If possible can you please review the Jbl 708P. I need to understand why they are in the same price range as the Focal Twin 6
thanks for the warning on the shiny plastic, literally waiting until completely plugged and set until i even rip the plastic of
Nothing says “cheap looking” like shiny black plastic. And I t always gets covered in millions of microscopic scratches and ends up looking worse, if that’s possible.
Pretty amazing review except for the Beatles hate lol. Great advice on setting up your desk and monitors. Love these monitors. Haha I gotta try the upside down monitor
Do all active speakers have the hissing? Am I gonna have to go the passive speaker road to get away from that?
I wonder if the sound signature is improved in the new model.
I have a pair of 305's and I really like them except being forward in the upper mid range which makes them a little shouttie.
I just picked up the JBL 306p mkii (on sale for $119 each, right now at most major retailers!) Do isolation pads/feet (sorbothane, etc) make that much of a difference in sound? Any reccos?
great review thank you...
The changes mainly are:
1) Better waveguide, so the crossover region has better controlled directivity (better imaging and soundstage).
2) More transient tweeter (faster).
3) Better tone controls.
those monityors arent that good i have them.. they lack from guitar tones reproduction
John Leaf what
monityors
LSR305 here. With heavier rock, I agree, especially for bass guitar. Overall lack of detail in a treated room. Great soundstage and imaging though. Good for vocals.
@@jeffcook3901 hey! Any advice, 305 vs 305 mkii what should I get? Thanks
I’ve got the 305 ,3 series ,and they are the best studio monitors I’ve ever used ,for me that is ,
Hi, I wanted to ask if you had experienced at anytime with the speakers or the older model any sound resonance In the cabinet at certain levels with certain sounds? There is some mention of this from people who own these monitor speakers and I wondered if you knew anything about it or experienced it yourself?
I'm with you on the shiny plastic. It looks chirpy chirpy cheep. But I do think that the comb filtering on the upper mids was far more apparent when you flipped the speakers upside-down, particularly as you moved your head slightly. Probably because of reflections from your desk.
Too me the low end overpowers the mid and high end on my speakers? It is just me? How can I fix this? Thanks
Have you compared the 5" Mackie 524 speakers to this? It's a very friendly weight and size. Just wondering about an audio comparison. Thanks!
if i set it to -10db, can connect it to a speaker out of an amp without blowing it?
What if I hook up my keyboard directly to these speakers using unbalanced cords? 😯 Will it still sound great?
Easily one of the best powered monitor speakers for the money.
Will those speakers still sound so good not at near field?
Will the kef ls50 wireless blow them away in every aspect?
Thanks
i use them with the BIFROST and ASGARD 2 output for volume control, RCA cables with XLR adapter...... heaven
We need a review of the 306, the ignored middle brother.
I had the same problem of hearing the center channel over my head. Solution? Quadratic diffusers behind you. Also ads a bit more clarity and localisation in the mix. I have the 308p's up from the lsr 305's by the way. They are fantastic!
i have them as well real good, a big improvement is to use isoAcoustic stands with them..... big big improvement. i also flipped mine upside down due to height also angled them so center of speaker falls to edge of ears
Would these also be good for Motion picture audio editing or just for listening to music?
Z are you planning on reviewing the Sony SS-CS5 3-Way? The look like great value for the current price point especially the specs. The demos I've heard on youtube sound great so far, but I wan't to know what you think about them.
How far from the back wall does these need to be? Would the KALI-LP 6 with the ports in the front be better when closer to the back wall? Lets say 30-50cm from the back wall? What mackies were you reffering to?
EXPLOSION!!!
These vs. the Klipsh Rp-150m or RP160-m ?
And how about the ELAC UB5s which are $350 on Amazon rn too.
Watching again now on my brand new LSR MKII LOL EPIC
i think you flip them cause nearfield mid and high sound louder and bass sounds less
while at distance it's the opposide , therefore you need them closer
so you're not the only "upside-down"
Hey dude i xp the same thing my vocal is so high like in my forehead should i turn it upside down for my mixing? Please help i had the old jbl lsr305
Now it's time to compare them against the new KRK Rokit G4 series... I will be very happy to hear your opinion before i buy one of them...
Hey Zeos, have you seen the/heard of DAC-X7 by Audio-FX? What do you think about it? Are you planning on reviewing it? Because i'm planning on getting a dac/amp set up but the Schiit Stack will cost me around $AUD 400 so I'm wondering if the x7 is any better.
How are these better than the klipsch RP-150M?
I am between the LRS305, the MR524 and the new 305P but i have to wait for the last ones because the are not yet arrived in Europe. I am a DJ/Producer nnd the main reason i want them for Is Dj Practising and Mixing. Which would you suggest me to buy?
Can I input via RCA to XLR/TRS cable without loosing noticeable quity (mobile/TV) which will be unbalanced
Im looking in to getting speakers for mixing... I was leaning toward getting these but then you said the swans and mackies so im not sure
Thank you very much for all the reviews Z! I learned a great deal watching them!
I have a question, have you heard the Genelec The Ones, and if so, what do you think of them?
Have not heard them. That is the go-to name however in monitors.
Z Reviews Would you ever try to put a pair of monitors in home listening settings? I've seen people doing it, but wondering if that actually makes sense. Thanks for replying!
I've got Dynaudio $1300/pair. near fields. Should I get a pair of these ?
For those interested in adding a sub, I found this bit of hardware very helpful. And yes, the NPatch will output both 1/4 and 3.5mm at the same time. I've got the 1/4 to my LSR305's and the 3.5mm to my sub. Solid bit of hardware.
amzn.com/B01I3B0OH6
Hands down the best UA-camr I've ever seen
Bought the white ones on sale for 99 ea, gloss not bad, 1st white speaker, may wind up hooked to tv, incredible imaging for sure. Price is unreal
GREAT REVIEW! LO VOLUME MIXING IS MY GOAL SO MACKIE WINS!!
What can you say about mackie mr 524 vs JBL 305 ? I saw that you have mackie 624 . Is it posibles to compare 5' ?
LOL "porn here," First time watching your review and I am entertained and informed, cheers!
that 16:00 eargasm he had. Tulio Zuoaga - Te Llevare Yw
Tay LaVary xd (Te llevaré)
Which ones are better? The LSR305 (the old ones) or the LSR305 MKII? (The new ones)
