JBL Professional 305PMKII-EU 5-inch 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor Subwoofer Speakers (Black)

These are quick and easy to get a really good audiophile level speaker set up done since they come with amplifiers in built. Balanced frequency response so neither bass nor treble is elevated, but at just the right levels. Bass packs a powerful punch and treble is sparkly yet not bright. Mids are great too and vocals and guitars sound amazing.Perfect for monitoring/music listening, however if you're planning to buy 2 to use with TV, then you might want to look at different speakers, as I found that the dialogue volume is low as there's no proper center channel. I'll still prefer them over any soundbar of even double the price. But for music these are absolutely mind blowing. I have expensive, just below top of the line level earphones (Empire Ears spartan IV, and before that had Audeze iSine 20) that these speakers are actually comparable with, beating them in bass presence and impact easily, and not being too far behind in detail retrieval either.There's a good soundstage if you position them (assuming you buy 2) properly as per the instructions. It feels as if you're right in front of the stage where the band is playing. but even if you don't position very well, the sound quality doesn't diminish too much, other than the soundstage becoming worse.They're very easy to connect to any audio device or TV/Laptop, but you'll have to get a 6.3 mm mono splitter cable like the UGREEN 3.5mm 1/8 Stereo TRS to 2 X 6.3mm 1/4" TS Mono Y Cable Splitter Cord to connect your laptop/TV's 3.5 mm out port to the speakers. They only come with a power cable. I also had to get a 6.3 mm cable extender since the ugreen cable is very short from the split end. If you have a receiver or a dedicated DAC, then you need to connect mono L/R output from the analog "unamplified" output ports as these have their own built in amplifier.

value for money. good sound quality. i use it in my editing and sound mixing studio

I'll keep this review shortNice and powerful can move ton of air. Without room correction (using a measurement mic and rew) every subwoofer is gonna suck. Please be mindful of that because at such low frequencies they play a huge role still I cant get 65hz to get above -6db which is a bummer.The one sad thing which I really liked from the 308pmkii is the auto standby which made those turn on and forget. But this stays on( this is the first generation apparently no standby feature)Another con for me is the size. Apparently ported designs do take up a lot of size but this is like a huge stool. Please check the dimensions before buying.(15x15.5x18 inches)Bass goes down to 28hz(-3db) below which there is a sharp drop (owing to the port design) so no rumble.Overall fairly satisfied with the product and the price range.And regarding my placement I tried to get the most bass and reduce it in software with EQAPO to reduce the 65db dip. Also there was no other place to put the damn thing.

Product is damaged input sensitivity button damage

The speaker is awesome. I will have to order one more now to make it complete one pair. I have applied this one speaker to my Topping TP 22 amplifier. Its sounding complete and even beating my home theater, i am wondering what will happen when i will add one more and make it 2 channel.Now I am updating my review after around 4 months. This single speaker is bombastic, feels like as if DJ floor. Crystal clear sound reproduced provided by topping tp22 amp. For a room of 10x10 single speaker itself is more than 1.5 times. It makes my amp complete I can now feel as if I am inside a concert or DJ floor.

I have a pair of Genelec monitors, but these JBL 305p Mkii compare quite well to my genelecs which costs a lot more than these. The looks are sleek, which i personally don't prefer and would have preferred a matted version. The sound is relatively flat and they are very quiet with low self noise. They turn off automatically if no audio signal is detected and comes ON when signal is detected. The low end is not quite there, but it is to be expected with 5" woofers, i didn't try the bass tilt switch. Overall, i am quite happy with it and would definitely recommend it to others.

Fantastic sound quality.Can be used as a high fidelity home speaker.Crystal clear high's and mid's with controlled and tight bass.response is pretty much flat.Don't expect home theater kind of sound with a uncontrolled and a honky midbass.Best for mixing but also great classical,rock,pop listening.BTW when mixing and mastering dont you dare compare it to genelecs or neumann........

Studio monitors are very useful for creating songs 🎛️, best for mixing mastering,
