Best Studio Monitors For Audio Recording

[96 dB ] When recording in the studio, or on site, these are a must have. Very crisp, precise audio.

[Steel] I use these headphones for quiet listening from my iPhone and laptop, and also as monitors for my small recording studio. As of this review, I've used them heavily for over a month. These are magnificent headphones with quality construction, and the soft over-ear cups are very comfortable even after an hour of use.

[1/4" TRS] I have had these headphones for almost 10 years. In these 10 years, they have been THE BEST headphones I have used for mixing. I have used a bunch of headphones and studio monitors in that time, and nothing has beat them out, not even the infamous Sony 7506 (given, cheaper, but more prevalent headphones in studios) Things to note with these headphones; they are not super low end present. If you are getting these to listen to consumer music, you may not like them because they are not "boomy" or "full". These headphones are for users who are looking for definition and clarity for making a solid mix. The other note is a MINOR complaint; the part of the headset that rests on the top of your head/hair has worn out for me. The muffs also wore out, but I replaced them. If there is a way to replace the foam under the band, please let me know because I would love to have them looking brand new again. I broke the cable that came with the headphones by accidentally vacuuming it about 2 years in (stupid, I know), but the detachable cable saved me some money. Also nice if you want to swap out different size cables. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to invest in headphones for studio mixing.

[Brown] Worked GREAT with my Samsung S8+ and I am recording the BEST audio (even in the highest of winds) without any background noise. Love the wind screen it comes with too. Fits perfect on my phone and stays tight.

[2.8 lbs] Fantastic for the studio monitors.

[Pop Filter] used for TV studio recording

[Black] 22 years ago an audio rep at B&H helped me build my first recording studio. I didn't know enough then to realize how stellar the recommendations that were made were. In early 2022 I decided to do an entire upgrade to my studio, from computers to software etc. One of the original recommendations for monitors were the original Mackie HR824's. They are used as near field monitors. One of the amps on one monitor blew out. So I found my self on a search. I went through the usual suspects. Almost went for the Yamaha's but at the end of the day, i purchased 2 brand new Mackie HR8242. I can't believe they are even better than the originals. Clean, crisp, and flat, every mix sounds as its supposed to, in the studio, on my beats, in my car, on the phone, and on the web. They really are just spectacular monitors. Well worth the price of admission without a doubt.

[22.7 lb] I didn't have a ton of money to spend on new studio monitors but after extensive research I decided the Behringer Ms16's would work okay. I got them installed today and had some time to run them through the rigors of audio / video production. Excellent flat response and delivery of authentic audio. Much better than I expected and heavy. Solid build. It's good to have good audio again. These should last a long time and deliver quality audio for my multimedia productions!

[0.04 lb] These are the monitors for a Studio One DAW via Firepod - plus standard HP for audio out. XNLT sound quality for the price! All-star service from B&H as usual.
