The focal smokes the HS8's, so there's no comparison there even in terms of price. The HS series are way overrated. The whole Focal Alpha Evo series hits and delivers sound way above its price range, so it's almost better to compare them to more expensive monitors like the Adam A7x's.
I have the evo 50s .. they create too much bass buildup in a one room apartment.. the hs5 are great even thoigh you done hear too much low end. Ive ordered a new pair of hs5 because I dont need to worry about bass builup and mixes ive done on them turned out pretty ok... we are not pros.. dont need pro equipment all the time...
By the way.. I tried out at home those evo 65.. amazing too but they will blow your dam walls down...try listening to a trap beat on those.. its impossible if you live in an apartment.. way way too much basd and punch...besutiful though but unusable unless you live in a separate house..
I have the Alphas 50s..had the hs5 pair.. focals are amazing BUT the bass hits everywhere in the room.. you cant really use their amazing sound in an untreated room.. I now want to buy some hs5 again.. never had bass trouble in multiple apartments... and pretty good mixes...
...I was in a famous photo store in New York looking for bookshelf speakers or possibly studio monitors at a lower-end price... that was until the (evil! 😅) salesman played the Alpha 50s; I could not BELIEVE how smooth, level and powerful the speakers were; the lower end sounded great and showed tons of headroom/ no strain whatsoever even at higher volume... I ended up paying far more than originally planned but it was SO worth it - amazing speakers!!
Bro love your vidz..... I always pop up here when am stuck between certain gear... En something jxt to see en adore cz I can't afford some of the equipment....... Keep on doing what you do big bro🔥🔥🔥
Hey man , i have the choice , between , the alesis 5 mkii , the presonus e3.5 , and i don't know which one to pick , can you help me out please ASAP ..
' a little more ' costs in the F1 a miljon dollars more. A master can stand or fall right with a wrongly mixed frequency with the wrong compression on that specific frequency that you didnt hear and troubles give on the mix for the radio. With the Yamaha(HS5) I can do the job faster (not better) then with the Alpha (6,5) (I own them both) . Faster panning , track EQ , effects gain/EQ. The final mix (master) I do with the Alpha
To me judging from the speakers of my device alesis and focal monitor difference was noticeable but not enough noticeable if we compare Yamaha with them Yamaha somewhat didn’t had enough low end if I compare this to the others whereas alesis one I don’t exactly know had more bass than focal or was slightly muffled since I am just a beginner
Focal has better separation and flat sounding i think, its very neat presentation of sound, Yamaha are kind of midcentric, not flat i think, well if its vocal then yamaha will highlight it more detailed The elevate sound grumpy compared to the other, separation is bad, layering is well not good The sound so narrow, but for 130usd damn i can't complain
Why are you comparing the size of the monitor and not the sound? You say you can get bigger ones for the same price as the focals a few times. Bigger isn’t always better. Especially for what these monitors were designed for. The small studio. Who needs 8in monitors in a bedroom?
The Focal Alpha Evo 50 sounds huge compare to the KRK. Million dollar producers still use KRK’s. That tells you something. Do you want a flat monitor or a hifi monitor?
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thanks! I think it would be something of interest to many, the famous ns10 against the supposed successors Hs5. I think the visualizations and the likes would burst in that comparison.
I think the best studio monitors in terms of size and sound quality are the Yamaha HS7 because of the adequate base if you think about it you might need the subwoofer to go along the HS5.
Hey Edward Really Needed to ask this About The Ongoing giveaway Last time after my friend won... You said giveaway is not for India.... Is the recent giveaway valid for Indians???? As there are many Indian entries...
Basic speaker for a basic person 😂😂😂😂😂 It's great to see your video again Because these days I always hear your song and I forgot to see your video Sorry 😐😐😐 Especially pen and paper 😆😆😆😆😆
aint no way he just played the monitors into a mic for the sound test instead of looking at frequency response charts 🤦♂️ type of guy to buy equipment based off looks
Im no expert but it looks like the focals are a bit overpriced. To be able to compete they may have to go maybe to $299 ea. As always great video Ed. good day!
The focal smokes the HS8's, so there's no comparison there even in terms of price. The HS series are way overrated. The whole Focal Alpha Evo series hits and delivers sound way above its price range, so it's almost better to compare them to more expensive monitors like the Adam A7x's.
And even there, A7X's are not even close to Alpha 65 Evo's. Very impressive monitors by Focal!
The kali ln range is also very good

The Elevates sounded good to my pocket. The Hs sounded ok to my wallet. The Alpha sounded terrible to my bank account. 😩
Haha!
I just picked up the Focal 50’s open box-brand new for $400. They are noticeable better than the HS5’s!
I have the Alphas 50s..had the hs5 pair.. focals are amazing BUT the bass hits everywhere in the room.. you cant really use their amazing sound in an untreated room.. I now want to buy some hs5 again.. never had bass trouble in multiple apartments... and pretty good mixes...
lol the Alexis sound better then all ! great review !

Clean as always🔥💕
Hardworking 👌
Much love from Ghana ♥️🇬🇭
Thanks man!!
The Focal's are superb.
Always waiting for your new videos 💕
Thank you for the support!!
I have the HS5's and I love them. Great flat response for mixing.
Amazing video as usual Sir
Thanks a ton!
Quite a big price difference in the US for the Yamaha HS5 and the Focal in this video compared to the UK.
FIRE CONTENT🔥
Thank you so much!!
The 3 speakers sound dramatically different from each other.
im going with the Alpha 50's fs, but the hS5's would be nice to hear your mix on regardless of its more forward-like presence
Just ordered Focal, so excited 🥰
How much you paid?
@@braccos4497 i realize this is old but i bet you are not disappointed in the last. LOVE mine.
Could you possibly connect them to a ps5 ? 😅
My HS8 are on the way to home😍 can't wait to see em
You are going to love them!
That's crazy that you can buy them as a pear. LOL. But I will say I love my Focal Alpha 65 EVO's
Bro love your vidz..... I always pop up here when am stuck between certain gear... En something jxt to see en adore cz I can't afford some of the equipment....... Keep on doing what you do big bro🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for the support!!
Thank you🔥
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you the info
Any time!
I heard a noticeable difference with the Yamahas. Just a broader spectrum.
Hey man , i have the choice , between , the alesis 5 mkii , the presonus e3.5 , and i don't know which one to pick , can you help me out please ASAP ..
Alesis all the way!!
@@EdwardSmithMusic okay bro thanks a lot

I’ll take a 5in focal over 8 inch Yamaha anyway
X2

Always giving info to subs thank you ed good to know,..........
Thanks for watching!
Focal has better separation and flat sounding i think, its very neat presentation of sound,
Yamaha are kind of midcentric, not flat i think, well if its vocal then yamaha will highlight it more detailed
The elevate sound grumpy compared to the other, separation is bad, layering is well not good
The sound so narrow, but for 130usd damn i can't complain
Yamahas are lopsided and grainy.
Evo 50s are fucking beautiful and accurate. They stack up well against the Neumann KH120s too!
Honestly the Alesis sounded better than the Yamahas
Why are you comparing the size of the monitor and not the sound? You say you can get bigger ones for the same price as the focals a few times. Bigger isn’t always better. Especially for what these monitors were designed for. The small studio. Who needs 8in monitors in a bedroom?
That’s what I’m going to say….
But you said that you recommend the alesis studio monitors under a budget
It all depends on your budget
Great comparison 👏 Love from India ❤️
Thank you!!
Always the best ❤️👍🏻💜
Thank you so much!!
Nice review! I would love to have one of this studio monitors soon.
hello, Just a random question are you south african (you ascent just sounds like it)?
Yep!
Please do the Artesia monitors😔i can't seem to find any reviews of those on UA-cam
I’ll see what I can do 👌🏻
Difference is very simple. 25W vs. 45W vs. 60W amplifier.
The Priz, The Toyo and The Lex 👀
The Focal Alpha Evo 50 sounds huge compare to the KRK. Million dollar producers still use KRK’s. That tells you something. Do you want a flat monitor or a hifi monitor?
Ofc hifi one. So for me Focal.
I think they're all doing good according to there prices but I think Yamaha is the best cause it has more mid ends!
Bruh, that is straight mudd....
These all look dope!! 🔥🔥
The Yamaha’s are the best period ! They are all you need!!
Great Video as usual Edward!. Please compare the Focal Alpha 50 with the IK Multimedia iLoud MTM, that are in the same price bracket of $700
Alesis Elevate 5 MKII, Presonus Eris 3.5 or Edifier MR4? THNKS!!!!!!!!!!!😎😎
man the focals blow the others out of the water!
I bought a pair of evo 50 for 500, new in Belgrade, Serbia.
Do you still like them?
@@un_sympathisch I think that they are great.
@@un_sympathisch On their own are " for modern, electronic music ".
@@aleksandarpopovic369thanks for answering! Could you possibly connect them to a ps5 ? 🤔
@@un_sympathisch do not know...
No comparison,Focal sound amazing,upgraded too the Shape 65 and Sub One amazing❤ kept my EVO 65
How to buy this
HS5, 7, or 8?
HS8 all day!
@@EdwardSmithMusic 🙏🏽 blessings brother. Thank you!
I so love the yamaha more than all of them!
Could you make a sound comparison with Yamaha Hs5 and Yamaha Ns10? it would be very interesting. (Hs5 vs Ns10)
Good idea! I'll see if I can make it happen!
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thanks! I think it would be something of interest to many, the famous ns10 against the supposed successors Hs5. I think the visualizations and the likes would burst in that comparison.
the hs5 is more clean and crisp
the focals are by far the best
I think the best studio monitors in terms of size and sound quality are the Yamaha HS7 because of the adequate base if you think about it you might need the subwoofer to go along the HS5.
Hey Edward
Really Needed to ask this
About The Ongoing giveaway
Last time after my friend won...
You said giveaway is not for India....
Is the recent giveaway valid for Indians????
As there are many Indian entries...
Yes. Only Studio Monitors are not international
Presonus eris 3.5 and 3.5bt which one is better?
Both are the same, only difference is one comes with Bluetooth and the other doesn't.
Dope speakers
Dope content
Thanks!!
Thought it was obvious. Development costs
I would love to win the Eris studio monitors 🙂. I think its a good studio monitors.
Good nice video,,you are great sir, good,
Thanks!
@@EdwardSmithMusic welcome my dear sir always time,
that pushed high end of yamahas is going to get really tiring really quick .
Basic speaker for a basic person 😂😂😂😂😂
It's great to see your video again
Because these days I always hear your song and I forgot to see your video
Sorry 😐😐😐
Especially pen and paper 😆😆😆😆😆
Thank you so much 😀
Focal cost 250 per piece today
Yep. In the uk they're £200 which is equivalent to $250. They're probably worth it at that price.
All love ♥️
aint no way he just played the monitors into a mic for the sound test instead of looking at frequency response charts 🤦♂️ type of guy to buy equipment based off looks
Have you compared the focal alpha twin evo to the Presonus e66?
I'd just get the Yamaha 8s
Focal the best !!!
What are saying? Focal way far better than these two, but yes Focal is expensive.
I have the Yamaha HS7 with HS8S sub and the sound is quite flat and accurate as per the source.
Im no expert but it looks like the focals are a bit overpriced. To be able to compete they may have to go maybe to $299 ea.
As always great video Ed.
good day!
Agree! Thanks for watching!
They don’t have to compete. They sell like hot cakes because they are that good.
The yamaha sound the best man period
Such on-line "listening tests" are useless. Speakers have to be compared in person.
Keybooard
your audio don't match your video at points trough the video
Lol
lol
I found your reviews to be complete non sense.
Plz sir give me studio monitor
Thanks for the info
Any time!
Thank you🔥
