Yamaha is very detailed sounding especially in low-mid area,But JBL is very very warm and sounds true.Ordering JBL NOW!!!!!!

I'm listening with Yamaha HPH MT7 headphones and the JBL 305P sounds so much better than the Yamaha HS5 monitors (too flat). Thanks for your uploading your comparison.

I find a lot of these comments interesting… Thank you for including the original track. If that includes stadium sound in the original track then it helps to figure out which speaker is giving out a true representation of what was recorded vs what is being filtered out by the speaker. Tight sound is great if that is what was in the original recording.

There is warmth and full frequency fill in the original tracks and JBL comes much closer to original track sound.

That Breakbeat Brass track is a joy to listen to >> it makes me laugh ... great comparison channel >> the best goto for speaker definition >> perfect for me at this time deciding which set of smaller monitors to buy 👍😎👌🎇

Could you upload the audio track (lossless) from the video to soundcloud or any file sharing service?

These were the two I narrowed my choice down to for my home studio. Both are beautiful speakers and if I was buying them as a home entertainment speaker I'd probably buy the JBLs for their beautiful warm sound. But I am buying them for mixing and recording so for clarity and detailed listening the Yahamas blow every other 5" speaker out of the water.

I am considering the Vanatoo Transparent Zeros. They are a boutique level company with 2 Engineers who took 7 years to put out their first product and I found out about them through Joshua Valour. I would love to hear a comparison between those and the JBL 305p here. I believe Vanatoo is based in Oregon or somewhere in the PNW. I wish I had an affiliation with them to hook the two of you up; as a newbie to the audiophile scene, I think many like me would benefit. Thank you for your work regardless!

It's really apparent on the rock song when all the low end of the guitar gets sucked away

I checked out some other KZread videos where the original source music is played first, then it gets play through the Yamaha and JBL speakers. The JBL speakers tends to color the sound, altering it from the original source. The Yamaha tends to sound closer to the source but lacks some bottom end.

So I’ll tell everyone this. I’ve literally had both and why the JBLs sound amazing. If you really want to mix and master your own work the Yamahas are the way to go. They give you a more realistic version of the track. You don’t want all the warmth the JBLs produce. You want the sound to be pure as possible

Obviously the JBL's sound better if you want to sit back and listen to music. But what is the purpose of a studio monitor? The Yamaha's have been around since the 70's not because they sound good, but because they sound so bad. If you can make your mix sound good on a pair of Yamaha HS5s, the mix will sound good on everything else.

Without one though, you are certainly missing most of the low end frequencies.

They certainly are a great tool to pin-point instruments without the disturbance of heavy bass coming from the JBL's for example but from a normal consumer stand point the 305p's withpout the subwoofer just offer a better package than the HS5's. But I'd be really intrested in seeing how both now stack up with their paired subwoofers. So the LSR310s with the 305p's and the HS8S with the HS5.

I just ordered the JBLs after listening to several videos. This vid made my final decision. The JBLs have a nice warm tone. The Yamaha's sound good, but a little to flat in the mids.

Something people need to conisder when producing music is less about how a speaker sounds and more about how it responds. This is what really matters when trying to get exact recreation of sound to pass through a speaker e.g how long a speaker resonates after a sine wave signal has passed through it. There is a reason old yamaha speakers are so popular in studios even though they can sound 'terrible'

JBL now for 129 € in our country omg i am so excited

I bought my JBL, for guitar in the third part, they sound much better. This is what all audio monitors do. They leave something to be desired when it comes to guitar distortion. I listened to most of the tests on this channel. that was the best to my ears.

are the JBLs voiced for more bass? They do sound fuller, but are we going for closest to source or most flat response?

@crosbyllc5426

4 ай бұрын

For mixing flatter response, but for just listening to enjoy music go closer to the source... In Mixing you want your music to sound good on different speakers, and some speakers sound good and some not as good... Some people have ear pods and iPhone speakers... If your mix sounds good on flat response speakers, the more chances are that they'll sound good everywhere else...

I finally can make my decision now! JBL sounds perfect to me. Just enough bass while the Yamaha just lacks that... Thanks!!!

The difference is quite noticeable listening through a good set of head phones, the 305P MkII is much more full range and open. Much better than the Yamaha.

I was amazed by the comparison and how the JBLs sound better. I have to decide what to buy and I have always wanted to buy the Yahama HS5 or HS7. but I was wondering: here the monitors are compared starting from a song already mastered and mixed (almost an audiophile comparison). I was wondering if you use the speakers for an untreated bedroom home studio, for the exclusive use of mixes and masters, shouldn't the sound remain mostly flat and neutral as it actually seems to be that of yahamas?
