Love the info and the style bro!!
Appreciate it!
Thank you! Very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great review, you got the sauce Boss
Appreciate that
Great review. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
@@ALinsdau Btw, one small question, would it ok NOT to use the audio interface? I am thinking about using 3.5 mm TRS from my computer to Dual XLR or Dual 1/4" TRS.
Why all the dislikes? This is sensible and informative, albeit a bit goofy....anyway thanks for the video. Helped me make up my mind about the JBLs.
Sometimes people don't like reviews - kinda weird. Thanks for the comments.
Great review greater personality 😁
Thank you 😁
About to buy my first set of monitors. I think imma get these. Thanks.
I've been very happy with mine.
Nice, thanks! Funny, too👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Im sure you've been told you look, and sound like Ray Romano. Great review..thanks
It has come up before. Thank you.
I'm using 305 and 306 and the 310 subs in my surround sound system. They sound amazing and SAVED a ton of $$$. BTW: I'm a huge fan of Genelec monitors. For the prices JBL's are a steal.
I'm still using mine and love them.
Nice review Aaron. I used to use the JBL Control 5's years ago in my studio and they were really nice.
I have been looking for new monitors for my recording studio recently. I have been checking the Kali Audio In-5s and In-8s (version II), both are 3 way monitors. Both pairs get great reviews even compared to Genelec $4000 monitors. I think I am going to go with the new version II (with the In-8 models) for my situation. I thought I'd tell you about them as they are about 1/2 the price of the Adams when you're ready to upgrade. The In-5 and In-8 II models are $699 and $799 respectively. All the best.

Thanks for the lead - I'll have to try them out.
@@ALinsdau I haven't pulled the trigger myself yet as I bought a few Warm Audio Mic Pre-amps....But, they're on my short list...

Dude. Right off the bat...you're awesome. Very entertaining and INFORMATIVE.
I appreciate that!
Hi, great review! Do you think I can use them for hi fi use (small/middle room) ? Thank you very much!
Technically, they're not designed for it - they're near field speakers. It's the acoustic design.
However, that said, in my small office (10'x10'), they're more than loud enough to blast me out of the room if I turn them up too high. I have used them in the "non-designed" way quite a few times. I've even used them for watching movies before I bought a dedicated sound system.
@@ALinsdau thank you very much
So goofy. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching.
can I use the JBL 305 P with just TRS cable to my phone? or do I need an amplifier
If you had a 1/4" TRS that'll hook to your phone, you need to make sure the signal is line and not amplified.

Nice video, respect for being straight up. How are these holding up? I just purchased a Focusrite 2i2 gen 3 now I'm looking for speakers. Thanks in advance.
I'm still using them and love them well on 2 years later. I love that they have 2 inputs. I have the TRS connected to my Scarlett and the XLR connected to my Senal volume control which is connected to my Amazon Echo. Best of both worlds from a single speaker pair.
@@ALinsdau Fantastic, thank you.
Hi Aaron, I'm not a sound mixing guy I just want to buy a pair of speakers in my room. Do you recommend them for regular use? Is bass okay?
Yes, the bass is very nice in fact. I use them to fill my 10x11 office with no problems.
I'd like to ask 2 questions before I buy these babies...How do they manage the "hissing" issues that are soooo popular when speaking about studio monitors?..I mean, did you hear any hissing when you plugged them in?(also I will use XLR connection from the monitors to 1/4" jack connected to Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen).
And the second question is: Is it true, these monitors have some kind of protection when they play too loud, so they automatically mute themselves?...Also thanks for the review. It was pretty informative.
I have 1/4TRS -> 1/4TRS from my Scarlett 2i4 Gen 1 to the JBL monitors with zero hiss. However, when I have my Alexa Echo plugged in with a 1/8" to my Senal passive volume control (amzn.to/2XrUWHH), plugged into the XLR out of the Senal and into the JBL speakers, I do get a hiss. As soon as I unplug the 1/8" from the Alexa Echo, the hiss stops. And this is with the 1/4"TRS and XLR. Even the most subtle hiss drives me nuts so I go to great lengths to eliminate it.
Fuckin Excellent Review. Youre the fucking man bro
Thanks for watching!
👍
Thanks for the watch.
Yo do they hiss .I really want to buy them but heard that they hiss a lot do they??🤔🤔🤔
If you have a 1/8 in to a Senal to 1/4 TRS, I can hear a hiss. Just the XLR - silent. The 1/8 from a computer seems to be an issue, at least on my 2018 iMac.
@@ALinsdau so u mean I should buy xlr instear of 1/4 inch
so u mean I should buy xlr instead of 1/4 inch
I like the XLR better for sure.
F the Adam’s! Think ROI for Pete sake. The JBL are outstanding!
I heard you. ROI is why I ended up with JBL. I loved the Adams but crazy $$$.
