KRK Rokit 5 G4 5" Studio Monitor (Pair)

Sound: I finally upgraded from the rigged up home stereo, and headphones. That Bass is so clean. It doesn't rattle my windows, or walls, or anything for that matter. The sound stays inside the speakers. That's always been one of my biggest problems with Bass. It travels and vibrates everything, kind of annoying and distracting when your hear stuff rattling WITH your music. This is my first pair of studio monitors. Not speakers but monitors. Improvise and make due with what you have until you're able to upgrade right? I've had some gnarly sound systems, but never any actual studio monitors until I got these. Honestly they're perfect. They are the perfect monitors for the home studio. Features: I love the digital eq parameter on the back of each monitor.

Improvise and make due with what you have until you're able to upgrade right? I've had some gnarly sound systems, but never any actual studio monitors until I got these. Honestly they're perfect. They are the perfect monitors for the home studio. Features: I love the digital eq parameter on the back of each monitor. It allows ultimate flexibility for dialing in the sound exactly how you want it. The general aesthetic of it is pretty dope too. They also have an app for iphone/android so its literally made for anyone who's anyone. I love that universal compatibility. It simplifies a lot. Ease of Use: It was pretty self explanatory. For being my first set of monitor speakers all I did was unbox them, hook them up to my interface, cranked them on, dialed in the sound. Boom done! It doesn't get any easier. Quality: You can tell they took their time engineering these speakers. They're very well crafted. I see me using these for several years before I even think about getting another pair. It's got an 8 inch speaker, and a little 1 inch tweeter. Don't let that fool you. These speakers were much bigger than I expected. All the sound stays inside the speaker. It makes a huge difference when it comes to canceling out all the excess noise& vibrations. Windows, stuff on shelves, doors, etc. Very well crafted. Value: The price is fair. In my honest opinion. I wouldn't say they're overpriced, and they're definitely not cheap. Thanks to zounds, guys/girls like me can get their hands on some amazing equipment. The Wow Factor: I didn't NEED the speakers, but I was getting tired of just my headphones. Sometimes I can spend all day in my studio, especially when im off work. Or half a day at the least. After a while those headphones start to hurt and become uncomfortable on the tops of my ears. I generally just wanted to upgrade my studio.Of course I love the general aesthetic of the speakers too. They seriously look bad a$$ just sitting there on my desk with all of my gear. It looks very nice. Gives me more of that "studio feel" and it feels good. It's nice to finally have the option of headphones or speakers. And not just speakers, but speakers that were specifically made for this kind of stuff. Overall: These speakers are the SH!T!!!! They sound so good and they're much bigger than I expected. Clean bass. Literally nothing vibrates or rattles. All that Bass and sound stays inside the speakers. Did I mention that they sound amazing? Shipping was extremely fast. I had them 1 day after ordering. Super happy with these krk8s. I got 1 step down from the krk 10-3. I just need to get my hands on the sub now. This is the prefect size for a home studio. The eq on the back of each monitor is an awesome addition as well, so you can dial in that sound just right. Krk did amazing with these. I can see why they're universally loved. There's nothing to dislike about them. 10/10 perfect studio monitors. You won't be disappointed. As always zZounds rocks, and makes my life so much easier. Aside from local music shops, zZounds is the only place I order from. They've been nothing but good to me. Thank you zZounds for helping me bring me dreams to life!!!!

I have a small well acoustically treated room. I exchanged a couple of 7's for a couple of 5's, finding the 7's a bit too big for my small studio. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only that the bass sounded tighter than the 7's, but the difference in hiss was remarkable. The 7's have a mild hiss typical of other monitors. But the 5's had little to no hiss at all, I'm guessing due to the smaller tweeter amp. The 7's sounded awesome, no knocking the 7's, but the 5's sounded even better. I'm sure things would be different in a different room or with different tastes. But for me, these 5's fit the bill perfectly!

Overall: My first speakers when I started DJing back in 2018 were some cheapo Samson speakers that were ok at the time, but when I upgraded to a set of Pioneer DM 40's, I was blown away by the sound difference. Well when I upgraded from the DM 40s to two KRK Rokit 5 G4's I was just as blown away as the first upgrade if not more. The bass is so clear coming from the KRKs and the highs sound perfect. I love that they have XLR inputs and the EQing you can do with the speakers is top notch. I have them dialed in perfectly for my setting when I practice Djing at home. I love that they go into a standby mode to conserve power if you leave them on but not in use for a bit. They look really good too. The subwoofer looks nice but I feel like I don't need it with how booming ... MoreOverall: My first speakers when I started DJing back in 2018 were some cheapo Samson speakers that were ok at the time, but when I upgraded to a set of Pioneer DM 40's, I was blown away by the sound difference.

The subwoofer looks nice but I feel like I don't need it with how booming just the speakers themselves are. I could host a house party in our one bedroom apartment with just these speakers alone. I can't say enough how great they sound. If you purchase a pair you won't be disappointed I can promise you that. The fact that ZZsounds let's you pay for them in steps is pretty cool too. I bought mine from a brick and mortar "guitar" place, but I wish I'd gotten them from zZounds.
