Brother bolo, lol these has been in my zzounds wishlist for a month now. Great to see a updated video of them. Now I can take the plunge and grab them.
I have the first version (without the DSP) I even brought a backup pair. They definitely rock for the price! They will also get you kicked out of an apartment really, really fast!
I’ve been rocking with those same exact speakers and they definitely rock out and do what I need them to do. Not bad at all for 1000 bucks. And they are still a part of my rig today.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
i bought these two weeks ago and i must agree with you, the size of them shocked me, but as well so did the sound. i luckily bout 36" floor speaker stands with 15" square bases so they fit perfectly and yes they are heavy. i use them for my dj mixing at home and time to time attempts at playing bass guitar and producing a beat or two in the home studio, but mostly for dj mixing. i left them at the factory setting , but make my low mid and high adjustments on my controller or mixer and they do the job more than i expected.
I have the 7 G4's and I love them... I've had them since a month into launch and they're great and the customization is great
I remember working on classic KRK Rokits gen1's in a few studios in the early 2000s and they sounded great. So, I bought a pair of Gen 2s to "upgrade" my Mackie HR824's G1. I found them really muddy, boxy and like you said really "bassy". But, I've heard the newer KRKs and they sound great, also.
Thanks Bolo!!!
Great moderators for beginners and good playback for reviewing music
Those are some great speakers
I bought a pair last year
I got EVE SC208’s. Nice frequency response. Tremendous quality. Outstanding value for what I paid.
i love my gen 3 rokit 5's. they look so cool.
Some of my first pair of speakers were KRK Rocket 8's. I don't remember them having a hiss thou. I'm surprised that KRK would go that direction with the amplifier that room correction is really cool.... very different for KRK's.
KRK monitors have been solid for as long as I can remember. I use to use them more for production and checking mixes. They beat hard and can take it. I believe they are worth more in value than the actual selling price. Sing able to tune them to the room is big. That’s was new information for me. I use to have the old KRK tuning system, so I know this version sigh the app has to be the truth. Thanks for that info on these
monitors. Great stuff!
krk are solid??? what!!!??? since when???? 😂 you can’t be serious
Good review!
RESPECT! ✊🏾
I was almost gonna get these. I went with the Kali Audio IN-8s V2. I haven't heard the 10" KRKs but... The Kali's blow my mind for a $400 speaker they sound like some high end coaxial monitors I have heard in my peoples studio. Might grab a pair of these for my other spot.
Good choice
I have some 5's and luv them little guys special editions sound great 👍
My Dream Studio Monitors! I will try to buy them!
I had the 4th Gen KRK 8s never had a hiss problem.. Didnt even need to turn them up past 50%... If you crank most powered speakers near their max you will hear hiss but they def sound more balanced than the Gen 1s and Gen 2s I had prior.
Great review, my first pair of monitors was the yellow gen 2 8". I love how they sound but I had to go back and forth on the mix because of the bass. The the price for the krks was always great. The hiss sound was there back in early 2000. What is your favorite monitors ? I hear the Kali Audio and JBLs are great for 400 and below for a pair. I used a cheap $75 pair of Mackie and my mixes translate great without back and forth on different speakers, cellphone or stereos. Studying about mixing on low volume was the key for me.
I just got the Genelec 8351b.... They're on another level. No Hiss and no speak compression. No distortion at all at high volume. THEY AIN'T CHEAP
Dont they all have volume limiters on them?
@@KingJames951.
Not all…
I have a pair of rokit 5 originals when they were first issued had them for 15 years ..on a boat ⛵
Yep I got mine in late 2005 or early 2006 I can’t remember lol
Both of my mentors swear by KRK. One of them actually works closely with KRK and has a write up about how great they are in his Dolby Atmos setup. Took a while, but They forced me to grab the 7” and I’ll have em this weekend. Can’t wait!!
Bolo, I still have RKR VXT6 speakers and they still sound really good!
Great review, mine have no noise I love them..
The zzounds great. I have g2 krk 5”. They work for now
Man krk rookit 10 & Yamaha HS8 is the bomb the four monitors sounding at the same time 😜 this the trick!
Still rocking my jbl lsr28p with lsr12p sub and they are still knocking.
Adam 5’s for a different vybe.
I still have the first gen 8s and yes they are old and beat down now but the my still play really good and tough were right about them being heavy on the bass , I'm using mine just as stereo speakers now
I own the mid size Rockets... phenominal reference mixing speaker 💯% 👊🧡👍
Still gonna rock the Yamaha HS 8's flatter response
Like the other guy said, they're more like mid field monitors. And i agree with you, for that price you have to compromise. Thanks for an honest review.
I just ordered those
I've owned JBL's and Yamaha's and mixed on Genelecs and Focals, and the KRK's are the only ones that have ever got me remotely anywhere close to professional level results. It's just really easy to make mixes translate on them. I don't even do car checking or have any room treatment at all, and I never worry about my mixes. Now I need to get me a lil mixcube and some room treatment just to squeeze out that extra 15% of performance and I'll be set.
Great review Bolo! Currently, I have the Yamaha HS8s, I was wondering if you would recommend these for critical mixing tasks? Thank you.
Those might be my next big purchase. I use JBL's normally and a sweet old pair of Cerwin Vegas so I need another go to.
I use JBL and. Krk
Lol yea same - always wanted to try the 10s
I just went to Zzounds and bought those KRK 10-3
I actually forgot these existed Goddamn Krk 😂 😂 💪
I just bought these, and I know you said there is a bit of a hiss to them, a lot of other reviews said the same thing..... After doing a lot of research before I purchased I found a couple of tricks you can do to help eliminate the hiss.
1. Make sure both the monitors are plugged into the same power source, ie. same power strip.
2. Make sure you are using balanced cables.
I almost passed up buying these because of all the reviews that said hissing coming from speakers. Man am I glad I didn't pass these up. I made sure to do the 2 things I mentioned above and there is ZERO hiss coming from these even when my DAC is turned up to max volume there is literally nothing coming from the speakers, and when I put Music through these, holy ish.... I know these are not club speakers as you stated, but these things THUMP. I then pushed my EQ through my DAC and all I can say is these sound damn near as good if not better than my old 12" DCM Tower Loudspeakers - cant do a listen test as I do not have the DCM's anymore, but from memory, these KRK 10's perform and sound just as good if not better. These will fit the bill as both a good stereo system (with an EQ pushed to them) as well as good monitors. I even bought the 10" sub to have the entire set and I will tell you I don't even need the sub, but you damn skippy I'm still using it LMAO.
So in conclusion, if you are looking at these I can def recommend them, and you don't need the sub, but if you want the sub to do most of the heavy lifting then get the sub. The Bass coming from the Monitors themselves will shake your room, but of course that's with an EQ pushed through my DAC.
Just using the EQ on the speakers themselves, still these things rock, but IMO pushing my EQ through to them just make them sound soooooo much better for listening and enjoying music rather than listening critically. So these really are the best of both worlds IMO.
I just ordered the 8" should I return and get these
@@PreachaMan2010 If I were you I would - but I can not say for reals cause I have never heard the 8's in person. - so I don't know if that helps your decision..... These KRK 10-3 gen 4's HIT. With the sub and EQ'd they shake pictures on my wall's and I guarantee my neighbors hate me. LOL - and can still hear everything crystal clear. oh and the sub is only half way turned up and my EQ I'm pushing through the DAC is set to -15db sooooo... LOL - I played a bass test on these and 50-55Hz will shake your body, if you crank them up, of course that's with the sub. If you do decide to get the 10's be sure to come back and let me know your thoughts on these amazing speakers. I truly am impressed for studio monitor speakers. I'm an old school hip hop head so I love big deep bass and these will deliver, anything you desire, just depends on your setup. I also love old school metal and classic rock as well - Metallica, AC/DC, The Eagles, The Doors, Pink Floyd - all of them sound amazing on these. I am hearing things in the music I never heard before and the Guitar solo's send chills through me.
Need a ground loop isolator to get rid or the hiss
Love the video and I feel confident that the speakers would sound good. I was looking where to go coming from HS8s because I want a midrange driver and am very attracted to the 10 inch woofers. What's killing me though is if the hiss problems I've been hearing about are really that bad? Currently, I have my monitors 4 ft away from my listening position. It's these or tiny Genelecs.
I have the KRK 5 about to get the 8"s, looks like you got the 10's, i want those too. They are everything you said, when you said they shut off on you, thats the sleep mode just set it. i keep mine on default i never set anything on it, i guess the sleep mood was already set on mine. the lights on them dem on and off in sleep mode very cool. And yes! they do BANG! I paid 220 for a pair 110 Each for my 5's. I caught them on sale though, i believe they was originally 499 for a pair at Guitar Center, still a good deal. The 10's are 499 each at Guitar Center 998 for a pair, yes very cheap for a pair of 10's.
Love the hat😁
Dope!
I'm using Adam Audio A77X, they sound amazing.
I'm very impressed with the 8" KRKs but unfortunately one blew out. I bought them used so... but read after a couple years they can have problems. Can hiss but they're sensitive to the wiring in the house or studio.
Sounds like you blew them the fuck up and blame it on wiring 😂
I can't recall the name of my old near fields but they had a hiss too but it wasn't as noticable to me
I use 3 way dynaudio near fields. Dynaudio lyd48 with s18 sub, right down low to 16hrz will blow focals well away. Or if you want core sub...go dynaudio core sub. Focals are bright, and ear fatigue sets in quick. French can't make good speakers. I use an extremely expensive hifi system and the sound of my montage sounds mental. My Excalibur speakers are lead lined and weigh 250kg...I wheel them around on castors.
Those are very good speakers. I use those 12 years ago when I worked at a major studio.💪🏾
I bought a couple of weeks ago a pair of the 5" model (G4 too), and I use them with the volume at 0dB, and yes, there is a hiss, which I understand is normal because to begin to notice it, subtly, I have to place an ear approximately 25 cm from the tweeter. So for me in practice the hiss does not exist, because according to my position on the table where I have them my ears are 80 cm away, which of course is not far at all, and I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HEAR THE HISS.
I remark that if I start to increase the volume above 0 dB, the hiss will increase, although to start noticing it at my 80 cm working distance, and in a very quiet environment, I have to reach around +5 or + 6 dB, which doesn't interest me in any way, since if it is increased from 0 dB the limiter starts to work, and I don't need that much volume.
On the other hand, if the hiss of the 7", 8" and 10" models is somewhat annoying at 0 dB, due to the distance of use... How about reducing the volume so that the hiss is not heard on the working distance? Maybe -5 dB, maybe -10 dB... I understand that there will still be more than enough margin to have a desirable volume, controlling it from the audio interface.
Nice plug/advertised promo for zsounds
I have the gen 3 krk 6. While they were in transition from being roundy edge shape to more squaredy.
They must have cheeped out on something with those newer ones.
I never had an issue with his on my gen 3 6 ers.
Never found them too basey even for the 6inch drivers, they were comfortably accurate.
They can kick the bass if they want.
I've heard a bunch of gen 4 KRK stuff, and something is just not in the same quality of sound as the gen 3s, or even the gen 2s.
They still look pretty. But I will not upgrade, if anything, I'll add a sub, and center.
Luv Them.....
I was close to getting rid of them until I got the Dangerous Music MONITOR ST ....it bought them to full life....I was hella surprised how good they sounded....
im sold by the zZounds plug, imma buy sum from it
I always liked the KRK brand because of the bass, i alway sold the after a while, I can’t do the Hiss
5:00 I’m high as a kite n hear you loud n clear 😂😂😂
Thanx I love your review. Yes, it is the driver of the speakers being too close to the Amplifier which causes the hiss. So I have been told by another You Tuber who is suppose to try to shield the two internal devices more like a faraday cage idea. I got a hiss from my Headrush 112 FRFR Guitar speaker when not in active use. (Having it just on) So this should not be too big a deal. You are a character. No offence you are just charismatic. You have a good voice I think one that could do voice overs for some animated show or have been. Sound familiar or just simular from Satery morning cartoon days. I miss those days. I plan to buy a set of those speakers. Yeah huge too huge for my current Desk, 63 inched long but, for those speakers I still plan to use speaker stands in front of me. I will use them mostly for gaming and music playing. I could get the matching Sub but, for now just the speakers will do.
Man those look insane I would have too remind my self too turn them down
I never heard these, but I heard the ROKIT 8 G4 next to the Yamaha HS8's & the HS8's sounded better IMO.
I brought these almost 10 years ago and they are dope. My neighbors dont like me!
I have the Kali Audio 8s and the Kali Audio WS12 sub. I now get better mixes than my 20yr old Tannoy PBM 8s and JBL 10 sub.
I was thinking about buying some. Thanks for the review. Right now I have the Yamaha HS 5 monitors & Yamaha HS 8 sub.
I have the Rokit 5s can´t hear hiss over hissing sound lol
I love them tho
I have the Rokit 8 Gen 3 with the krk 10 sub in my setup
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm still using the krk rokit 6 gen 2 kinda old to me now
I have KRK Rokit 10-3, bro, I can barely hear the hiss. The sound quality of those speakers are legit.
4:35 I know that's what they state, the drivers may be capable of that FQ range, but most plate full range class D amplifiers can't go that high. 20khz is usually their limit.
hard passed! thanks for the vid100
Do both come in the box? Or do I have to buy each of the separately? Please help I need to know before buying
We like em so much we mounted them In the wall 😂
What stands are you using for the speakers?
10's good lawd thats big
Yep!!
Do you think these are good for being a loudspeaker only?
How do you like the 10-3 G4 vs the Focal Alpha Twin 6.5? I have the 10.3 g4 but Im wondering if would they be a good match together or if one replaces the other?
A while back I purchased the G4 8 in. Thought I was mack daddy producer until I ran across an advertisement for those. 😞
of all the monitors you mentioned, which one is your fav? The best
All of them have there strengths and weaknesses. I cant really say I like one over the other
Doesn’t matter if you can’t mix
Nice review! I had these in my studio and I really liked them, definitely the tight bass, but the hiss was too loud for my liking. It drowned out some other sounds, as I don't mix at very loud levels. So I ended up sending them back. I would have gladly paid more if they didn't have that much hiss...
What do you think of the Yamaha hs 8?
You Should review SA25 you out in ATL with Soul Asylum Acoustic they get down to 10hz
If they send em’ I’ll review em’
do the KRK rokit g4 rp8 have a hiss??
You are right bro! i know the guy who designed this speaker, I know the reason why they are so dope but cheap
I would definitely like to know!
The hiss is only audible when it’s on standby? Or also when playing/listening to music?
❤️💪🏾
If Yamaha made some hs10s that would be a game changer
Great video - mine don’t hiss at all though
I didn’t hear much either
@bolo da producer have you tried that kali audio in-8 v2 . If so how do they compare to the krk 10-3?
I got the 1st Generation Kali 8s and they are definitely a cleaner sound with less bass
Are they Bluetooth compatible?
I know its old vid now, But I had that Hiss in my 5 g4 to, I moved each monitor to its own sperate socket on the wall and the sub on its own to, Hiss is gone and no feedback either maybe that might help with that hiss.
Actually I did the same thing I had each speaker powered by different power conditioners and hiss was gone ✅
And mines never had a his issue, as a matter of fact they are super quiet even when I have them turned up.
🔥🔥🔥
I am on the fence! $679 for pair of HS8's! Or $800 for pair of KRK's. The Mid Range has me interested on the KRK. I LOVED my HS8's in my last studio. I gave my HS5' to my son. They were not great. Think prior owner overdrove them at some point. They worked fine, but something was just off. Never could figure out what though.
I got krk rokit 5" monitors and am considering upgrading, not sure to go to 8" or beyond though. thoughts?
I’d say keep the 5s and get the 10” krk sub it will sound great (that’s exactly what I have in my studio).
What are your thoughts on the HEDD brand speakers?
Haven’t used them yet
@@BoloDaProducer I’m thinking of getting them. The ads
for them keep popping up on my feed like the Unison Midi Chord pack does🤣
Do you mix with speakers or headphones or both?
Speakers
Speakers only
Made for dogs and other animals. Good one.
Bruh where you got that hat from... I need it asap
Lids at Tampa Bay Outlet Mall
White noise .... Rockville speakers are good too , they pretty much almost the same speakers
we used these since like 2011...
These are the Newest Model
If they make passive versions of these and hook up a crown amp. Hiss would be gone.
Do you even need sub with these? Is bass really good and clear or is it muddy???
It’s pretty clean
The app is no longer available. They are "working" on it
The disadvantage of class d amps are Less power consumption and lower heat generation. Smaller size. Very high-power potential (400 to 500 W) in a small package. The only disadvantage is that it has high-frequency noise generation.
