I am definitely thinking of getting this. I just have an issue that I can't properly fit the speakers to the sides of my monitor as one of them would end up being more or less behind one of my two screens. I wonder if anyone can suggest a good pair of stands that would allow me to lift them above the 27" monitors and allow me to tilt them downwards as well. Wall mounting is not possible.

I have the older versions (HS80m) that I bought over 10 years ago. For the first 2 years I had no room treatment and I thought “ either I blow or these monitors suck” Then I invested in proper room acoustic treatment. Let’s just say I’m still mixing and making great music with these monitors. These are amazing monitors for the price and can’t be beat.

Just bought a pair... getting them on monday... cant wait! Im certain I made the right choice :)

Well they were clearly better than the Pioneers, but a long way from the direct sound, maybe it was the room?

I can really hear how good they are on this video via my Focals

I did have the HS5 from Yamaha. Was not that satisfied. But now I Do have the Fluid Audio FX80. I am more satisfied with them.

You've compared some radio like speakers to reference monitors. I understand limitations though.

Great review, where I see things little different is in the definition that monitor's room correction provides optimum sound in any room. Unfortunately things do not work that way, since it is acoustics, which primarily affect what the listener actually listens to, while compensation just helps to lower the effect of bad acoustics, it definitely does not sort it out in sufficient manner - louder you go, more acoustics chime in, so wrong acoustic or none treatment - more mess when the monitors are cranked up. That combined with monitors placed on a desk without insulation, or wrong angle placement, either lateral or vertical (remember equilateral triangle between listener and monitors), placement too close to the walls, or short distance between monitors and listener can bring a lots of confusion about how the monitor performs under optimum conditions, so my recommendation is acoustic treatment first, then good placement, and if possible - no compensation for the room involved. If that needs to be employed - the room treatment is not optimal. Would not say the HS8 work only in medium/bigger room exclusively, yet room 2x2 won't be sufficient for 8 inch bass. So if one decides to buy these fantastic monitors, it is always good to know what it takes to get the most out of them. Definitely one if not the best monitors for the price (and even double the price, in my opinion)..

Would you recommend them for a 2 channel home stereo in addition with a subwoofer ?

Literally trying to decide between the 5,7 and 8s right now

video starts at 1:20

I don't know a lot about studio monitors so perhaps someone enlighten me...why is the on/off switch nearly always on the back? It makes no sense to me.

How did you setup your room and trim buttons? Thanks

You're totally addicted to bass😂

Yamaha has a nice hi frequency

I have the HS5 and HS8 working at the same time, I feel like I can hear in 5dimensions.

The funny thing is, that across all of the direct contenders to HS 8 such as JBL308, Adam T8V, Kali Audio 8LP2, and Presonus Eris 8 XT I still have not found any competitor in terms of how perfectly they reveal in detail, providing identification/separation/instr. placement/depth. Same goes to perfect picture, when working with effects - as one clearly hears compression affecting transients, detailed reverb tails, every subtle equalisation etc. i.e. those critical moves within the craft, where to "find out" what is going on in the mix, is crucial. Their flat response, low distortion as well as the general balance, combined altogether into unbeatable package, may I dare to say, irrespective of the price, not "for the price". These cans obviously let one to make a job done. Not neccessarily the case of every fancier stuff out there for double the price. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yamaha is always a gud choice for studiomonitor.. !!

Adjust the settings on the back nd it should tone the bass down a little.

The Yamaha has more presence than the Pioneer, but I didn’t hear the deep bass from either, that was in the original mix.

These are perfect but out my price range for now

Pioneer sounds like it has low pass filter on jt.

It s great you like them.... I don't. They are too mid frequency centered.....I much prefer the Focals Evo 65. I find them more balanced ;)...Have fun ;)

@malakisands8180

What you are looking at is production of sound frequencies. HZ is mid to lows 55 for HS7 and 38 for HS8 you get more bottom end without a subwoofer. The kHz is your higher frequency like female singer, flute, higher pitch piano notes. 38 kHz for the HS8 also makes it a more rounded speaker and Yamaha for the money spent is worth it. I will have HS8 soon

They're a monitor that really shines when you treat the crap out of your room. Just, like, loads of sound dampening panels on the walls. Or put them in a large room, because they have the output power and imaging to fill most rooms without noticeable distortion. Those things can get deafeningly loud.

That's a bold statement lol

No they are a low-fi speaker, and have a resonant box build. You are not going to get a high quality sound out of them. You need a serious monitor for a studio, and as a minimum quality you should be looking at the likes of an ATC SCM20ASL, as a starting benchmark sound.

Pioneer sounds like phone lol

How much did they pay you? I really don't like the sound of these monitors and my mixing sounded like crap after using them. They are hyped all over youtube (probably all paid advertising) but in my experience they are not that good at all.

these are not good .sorry . also the inside are cheap . realy bad capacitors that will break fast.. you need the yamaha msp serie.s like msp 7 or msp10 . these are flat. and the capacitors are high end. another altenative are mackie hr824 . these are also high end built and the capacitors. I have these monitors 20 years and will not break.
