Rich, former KRK product manager here. I love this review. You are nailing everything we were going for. I love that you noticed that I talked to literally hundreds of pro mix engineers and producers to make a totally new product based on the V Series 4 that I managed as well. "These are not your daddy's Rokits." Great line!

These things are legit. Sound quality amazing. I have the G4 5”s and you can tell the difference between audio quality between music, commercials, and tv shows. Something I never knew was possible.

ive been using krk rokit 6s for the past 7 years now. got the gen 3 currently. people can hate all they want . these speakers get it done in lots of ways. for the money they cant be beat.

I just setup my Rokit 8 G4s. I'm replacing my Rokit 5 G3s. I'm totally blown away!! They sound incredible compared to my Rokit 5 G3s! A/B-ing them, shows me that the 5's were so muddy (all of the frequencies are on top of each other, and the bass has a unpleasing boomy-ness). I was having a lot of trouble mixing (electronic music) with the 5's. The 8's are SO much clearer. There is so much more space, I can hear all of the individual sounds and where they are in the mix. Obviously the bass is much more detailed and expressive on the 8's compared to the 5's. My jaw literally dropped while listening to some expressive music. I'm hearing things I never heard on the 5's. GAME CHANGER for me. I haven't even used the DSP on them yet.. I'll be doing that next. WOW. Thank you for your review! It got me pretty excited while waiting for my 8's to arrive!

I realize this is an older review, but I found it more thorough than many others I've come across. I just ordered a pair!

I use the RP7 G4 and Great Job KRK alongside my HS8s these sound so flat and clean Like the VXT series 💯😎 The new G4 have went back to the Great sound of the ES8s and others ! Built in DSP and app that works Great 👍

I have Rokit 6 g1 almost 10 years now, and I am very happy with them. Im no sound engineer, just an average user, I listen to music, playing guitar through Headrush Gigboard, playing PC games or wathing YT videos, they never let me down. If they ever go bad, I just buy newer generation ;) Haters gonna hate and I dont care :D

I'm still using my KRK8's 1st Generation!! Heck yeah!

I got the KRK Rokit 6 G3’s. I love them. Scott Storch also got a pair of KRKs that he frequently uses 🔥🔥

I have KRK Rokit 6 and they are awesome speakers..

Hip Hop sounds fantastic on these! 🔥

thanks for content ..I found two of these at pawn shop. They powered on and still had clear screen tape ..paid $400 out the door and I've got a week to try em out or return. Hope they live up to hype I've never had studio speakers but trying to piece one together. So I don't really know what to expect but they seem to be favored for newbs

Hey Mojaxx! Should I get the 7's or 8's just for DJing in an untreated room? Approx 9m² Cheers, love your reviews 😎

great review

Next week I’m getting my Fluid Audio Fx8..

Thank you for your review. You mentioned the availability protective covers, and I was looking at the KRK 4’s 8” to buy for exactly that reason. However, I’ve been told by M^**y’s that the protective covers are not available! Can DJ City please supply these and at what cost?

I'm looking to get speakers for a home disco playing variety of styles including dance / house. Room size 3m by 6m. Should I get these or some small PA speakers eg Behringer b115d?

Hi, I am after some advice here i possible please. I have just bought 2 RP8 G4s to replace my RP5 G3s However my new RP8s produce less bass that the RP5s! The speakers are fine, not faulty, because if I plug them into my laptop in another room the bass is superb, so its the room. My question is, can the room be treated so the bass is felt, however the room is only about say 3 meters by 2 meters. Or is it just impossible for these speakers to perform in a room that size even if treated. Cheers Gaz

can i use for dj ? for houseparty or just practice

You know Mojaxx. I really notice when it's you on these videos. I hardly watch any of those with those other blokes... but when it's a Mojaxx video guaranteed I watch till the end. Even when I'm not that interested in the kit I still pay attention to what's being shown and said! 😂

Hey Great review. I am looking at monitors for my home DJ setup and my choice is between the 7” G4 or the Adam Audio T7V. Which would you recommend? Thanks

Bought these exact ones the 8’s generation 4’s a few weeks back. After breaking them in, I can confirm these sound brilliant! Real crisp sound quality with lovely bass. Highly recommend them! Bax music are doing these for £189 each at the moment by the way. Not sure for how long though? Also I’ve found the speaker grills don’t seem to be released for the 8’ generation 4’s just yet..

I did order KRK rokit 7 G4 last night. But i see many talks about hissing/noize. Do you have that problem ?

Fantastic review as always... the only thing you didn’t cover was the most important to me: I’ve got the first gen 8’s and one has crapped out because of the potting material corroding parts and becoming conductive:/ Anyone know if they changed the black-death-goo they had spread on things to stop ratted internally?

You seem really taken aback by these speakers, did they give you the fizz? Definitely caught my interest here with these....... (I already own a pair old gen of course)

I recently got the Rokit 7 G4, has anyone experimented with both G4 and G3 and which do you prefer? The G4 doesn’t seem too accurate to sound, elements are tampered and don’t sound the same.. I listen to very bass-y electronic music and they don’t seem to manage it well keeping it clear (bass) & true to the original sound

I'm looking for my first pair of monitors and I can't decide between the KRK 5 G4s and the 7 G4. The room is around 11m2 (118ft2) with a 3m ceiling height. I mainly make rap/trap/rnb and similar stuff so I want the speakers to really smack, and idk if the 5 can do it. Some people told me that the 7 is too much for 11m2, but I see mixed opinions online. I'm new to this so I could really use some help. Thanks.

Mojaxx Quote of the Year "This is not your daddy's rocket'

I have them they are insane for producing and djing

I picked up a pair of 8 G4’s brand new for $350. Very happy

Have the front metal baffles been released by KRK yet? Where do you buy these?

Does anyone knows if the app is working with the old rokits?

hey guys, which ones are better for casual listening and music production and mixing? krk rokit 8g4 vs m-audio bx8 d3

Hi I have a question Buy two KRK G4 7 monitors and when it turns on it emits a white background sound "Hissing ssssss" without any connection this wave sound is heard up to 1.50 meters. Unlike KRK G3 monitors, there is no such white noise. Do I need help and do I know if this whistle is normal? Thanks for your reply

If you go into your local music stores there on sale due to the outbreak there trying to get people to come out.

I love the ghostbusters dolls in te back 😉

Hi can they be used for hi-fi listening in an untreated room of 15 meters?

GEMELIC....so days Deadmau5 👉💥

I currently have the rokit 5 g3 and they are great, I am tempted to buy these, my mate has just bought the rokit 8 g4 and they do sound really good but I’m not sure if it is worth the upgrade to the rokit 8 g4 for me

So is this for small room production or djing, or both?

Where can you even buy these? Terrible we site ..in the uk it links to a site which doesn't sell them

Do they emit an audible hiss when idle?

Ive only been using studio monitors for a little over 5 years and never liked the sound of the krks Ive heard. However I read about these G4s and went to listen to them at 3 different guitar centers. I listened to the 5, 7, and 8s. I also listened to all the monitors they had there and the G4s were easily my favorite. Most people will say the yamahas are the best guitar center has. But all the times Ive listened to yamahas I just cant get into them. They just sound so sterile like theyre missing lower midrange. The krks on the other hand just sound rich yet tight and clean on the low end. No more boosted lows and highs like the older g3s. Ive also seen a couple frequency graphs and they are no less flat than the yamahas or jbl lsr305s. The generation 2 jbls at the store were too bright for me. The adam A7x had boosted upper midrange. I really liked the adam T7V. Much more neutral midrange over the A7x but still overall a cold sounding speaker. The tweeter just didnt sound like it blended with the midrange that well like the krks. I also heard a pair of red coned BX8s and didnt care for them. Too overall midrange forward. Last monitors I listened to were the Sterling 5 inch and I really liked them. I think for most people these speakers would be too laid back. But I really loved it. A few years ago they had a pair of Mackie XR624s and I liked those more than anything else in the store too. I would love to compare the rp7g4 and xr624s because they are my current choice for replacement of my current monitors but currently Im leaning towards the KRKs. They really focused on making them flat, their tweeter is kevlar which I have never seen done and sound amazing and the switch do dsp which I believe is superior for the blending of the drivers.

I bought a pair of these speakers for my studio, but do I need to buy a XLR cable or can I use my TRS 6.3mm cable?

Besides KRK Rokits, another model that definitely popularized studio monitors amongst bedroom DJ's are the Behringer Truth series, especially the B2031A model. Very solid sound, can deliver loud output and offers amazing value for money. I've been enjoying my pair for over a decade now. Btw, when are you guys going to review Kali Audio montitors? Models like the KALP-6 are getting raving reviews and are supposed to be amazing value for money, especially for DJ's who want to dip their toes into audio production.

I got these but horrible white noise, hiss so to say, how does one get rid of this?

Yamaha hs8 or krk 8 g4 for dj/mixing drum and bass at home, what would you recommend?

Bro the people that don't like them don't do hiphop. Hiphop focus more on the low end's that's why some people don't feel it. Now niggas that do hiphop we love em

Very nice allround Computer Bed Room Speaker, good for producing and djing but mixing music .....? Entry Level but not really. But at the end compare to evrything else in this price range -very good solid Monitors if you like their sound....

I'd be surprised that Yamaha in not the bigest seller of studio monitors...

4:00 Class D is a massive step back in comparism to Class A-B when it comes to sound quality in higher frequencies.

Should I throw away my Rokit 8` RPG2 ?

KRK's sound great yes but they are not anywhere near good enough to mixdown accurately in a studio, put them through Sonarworks and you will get a shock at the curves.....for playback and DJing, sure.

I’ve just brought the rokit 8 g4 and am having low sound issues and no bass :/ Has anyone else had this issue?

No hablo inglés

Oh the rubbish i practiced on.Monitors came much later

Kali LP-8

Yamaha is far better an I am coming from years of using Rokit.

I'm actually using some krk rockit g2 to mix and I think I'll pass to these one

man i wish the yellow wasn't there ...

In those price ranges, go for a _Kali Audio_ speaker. It blows the shit out of these mediocre monitors.

whats going rong. why any one put some fucking music to listen music?

First of all - how someone can hate the speaker in the first place OMEGALUL HATE
