I love these technical breakdowns with professionals

@spellacy29 5 ай бұрын

I bought a pair of HS4 a few days ago. I'm really impressed so far. Build quality is excellent and the level of detail is the best I've heard for speakers of this size. The bass is tight, natural and not overpowering. They're keepers, for sure :)

Appreciated the comparison and the professional setup, but I thought it was a mistake to not label for the audience which speakers were active at a given time.

@ignacionicholson 6 ай бұрын

Agreed, but from what I can see at 9:40 the first two channels in the mixer are active and the woofer in the HS3 is moving. First two channels are for the hs3, second two for the hs4 and third two for the hs5.

If it is to compare by yourself, it doesn't make much sense. Since you listen to your own speakers, not theirs.

I like the fact that you did not indicate which speakers we were hearing. It forces us not to hear with our eyes. I'm an amateur at best w audiio. This was great. I bought the 4s.

Excellent! This is just want I needed in helping me make a decision of what to buy. I'm also glad to learn that they are newly released. I just wished a caption came on screen identifying what was being played, the 3's, 4's or 5's. Perhaps someone can help me out. Thanks a lot.

I just got the HS4s. They are good for a second set of speakers for referencing. You arent gonna hear bass below 60 but you can work around it by learning the speaker and by checking the bass on bigger speakers. I usually start a mix with big speakers to get my bass right then ill go down to smaller speakers like these to work on the mids and highs

@BetterBeliefs.com. Ай бұрын

So after watching this a couple of times, he appears to go in order of HS3, HS5, HS4 most, if not all of the time. You can watch for the speaker cone moving to verify. Mostly, he seemed to like the clarity and midrange of the HS3. He will mention the extra bass prevalent in the HS4, (as he is only going to say nice things), but I get the impression that he liked the 3 better, of the two new speakers. When I listen, the midrange jumps out on the HS3 when he moves from the HS4. as well. For the price, it's kind of a no brainer.. now white or black? I'm thinking white :)

I was expecting these to be like the KRK Goaux 3 and 4. I think marketing these as a portable take with you solution for monitors is not as practical. KRK offers bluetooth, a bag, stands, room correction. The price on the other hand comes too close to a pair in the KRK Rokit line. So if you were interested just on a budget. Its like hmm might as well. Although still interested for the Yamaha sound as I use the HS8. You still may want the perspective of music through a smaller driver.

@ChrisBessy 2 ай бұрын

I think HS4 are like little home studio speakers ..... and KRK AUX 3 and 4 are more for traveling .... no ? (i really dont want bluethoot on my studio speakers lol).

@THA-REAPER 2 ай бұрын

@@ChrisBessy the Goaux 4 sounds decent though good imaging and bass response...and I'm not really a fan of krk that much only because I had Rokit 8s so long and realized how not flat they were for mixing. Stuff like their VXT sounds very good though hearing in person. Krk only makes studio quality stuff. I got them exactly for that portable aspect. I use Bluetooth as more of a not sitting at the desk type of thing. I don't trust the latency and bits transfered via Bluetooth. It's convenient to have though sometimes you want to be untethered. You just want a casual listen or hear a podcast on something that's not laptop speaker quality. I wish they had some kind of lithium battery. The stands are weird, but better with them than without.

The listening session part of the video has nothing to do with how the speakers actually sound because the audio firstly has to be recorded by whatever microphone you're using, then it gets processed by whichever programs and filters you're using, then it gets slightly compressed during file export and upload to youtube, then it gets played out through whichever audio output device the viewer is using (in my case my logitech pro x headset) - so that listening session really has absolutely nothing to do with describing how these speakers sound sorry I just had to let out my thoughts, all the love, probably gonna end up buying these speakers if nothing else, it just bothered me so I had to say it haha
