Field Test: Yamaha HS50M Monitor and HS10W Subwoofer

 

When Yamaha discontinued production of its venerable NS-10M studio monitor due to unavailable parts, mix engineers worldwide were left with a dilemma: How do you replace what has arguably been the most reliable proxy for consumer-playback systems for...

I also briefly worked with the HS80M, big brother to the HS50M reviewed here. The HS80M produced significantly more bass and low mids compared to the HS50M, but both models had essentially the same bright top end. The HS50M produced better imaging,...

best for the price range

 

Overall, these are some of the only pairs in this price range that I will recommend doing a master in . You can get a great master in these like you could with a set of 2,000 dollar monitors. I hav...

great flat sound

Consumer review (newegg.com)

very accurate

 

These aren't fun booming bass listening speakers, they are accurate professional reference monitors. So if you want fun bass boosted and high frequency boosted speakers look elsewhere. These are for engineers.

For the price and the size, these are the most accurate monitors you can buy. The 5" driver reproduces sound over the frequency spectrum surprisingly and deceptively well. I produce tracks in NYC and I use these in my home studio to reference mixes...

They aren't 8" woofers. The low to high mids don't crack the way you need them to for snare drum mixing. You definitely need to decide if you do need 8" speakers
