(2) JBL 305P MkII 5" 2-Way Active Powered Studio Reference Monitors Speakers

I picked these up on a holiday sale and I am very impressed. They are cleaner and fuller sounding than my KRK Classic 5 (which are the same size). Very accurate and detailed across the spectrum with a wide sweet spot. You could use these to fill up a room with sound, but of course with their balanced-only inputs they are really meant for studio work. JBL makes great stuff and has done so for decades. This is one of their best products considering the unbelievable value.

Sound awesome

These speakers sound incredible. I use them for everything—composing music, listening to music, watching movies & videos, gaming, etc. and they have been nothing short of perfect for this price. The bass could be a bit more accurate but that’s what a subwoofer is for. And even with that said, the bass is surprisingly accurate for a speaker of this size. I haven’t had any sound issues, and there is no crackle after turning down the volume on each speaker to a reasonable level. I also have to mention that I’m a big fan of the sleek, understated design.I’m not sure why other reviews mention an annoying startup sound. I bought these thinking that would be the case, but the speakers I received are silent on startup.

Typical JBL build quality! Solid, robust and just well put together, with awesome audio quality.. In that category there are a lot of players, but JBL has a handle on studio monitors and full range flat response monitors since forever. These are no exception.I needed a pair of studio monitors with as close to FRFR as I could get... This was to use for my guitar and modeling amps, which require this type of product. These are not speakers for typical audio system, but rather designed as studio monitors and really more for this type of application.They're very close to my Yamaha HS8's, which are as close to FRFR as one can get, but they're a bit smaller, more compact with a bit less bass, and under half the price. I needed something more portable as I'm going to use these when I travel. They fit the bill and are very accurate in terms of sound reproduction.Highly recommended

Happy with this purchase. These perform well under multiple studio scenarios.

These replaced another well known speaker brand in my small studio, one which had amp issues.After a bit of tweaking the switches on the back and listening, I found settings that worked well in my space. It's literally night and day. The JBL's are waaaaay smoother and accurate sounding. I'll have to get used to the new sound so my mixes stay consistent, but I know I'll enjoy working with them.One issue- those tiny switches on the back are fliiiiiimsy! Yep, the -10/+4 switch snapped off requiring me to open up the amp and set it. Hopefully, I won't have any warranty issues and they run for years.

So, I had to wait for my XLR to TRS cables to come in along with a power conditioner to make sure everything went smoothly before making my review. First off, I'll say these things are amazing! Went to Guitar Center and tested a bunch of monitors for about an hour and these stood out in MANY ways. When I purchased these here and got them into my home, I plugged them in to make sure they at least powered on (to which they did). When I did this, I heard a slight hiss. Considering this, I bought the power conditioner, plugged that in, plugged the speakers into my M-Audio Pro Duo, and not a single hiss. The sound space is very clear! Makes me wonder why I've been working off of my AKG headphones for so long. If you're wondering about getting the $100 monitors or these for a couple hundred more, do it. There IS a difference. I've heard it personally with them side by side.Recommendation:1. Buy these.2. Buy 2 XLR to 1/4" TRS Cables3. Buy Pyle power conditioner (or whatever brand)4. Buy/Use an interface (M-Audio, Scarlett, whatever)5. (Optional) Buy the foam pads, depending on where you're putting these. Sturdy built speakers, but maybe not so much can be said as the same for your desk/shelf/whatever.

Suenan muy bien!
