Best Budget Studio Monitors 2024

If you are on a tight budget then look no further! Best value for your $

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.

Best budget Anamorphic lens,

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

When I bought my NUC from B&H in 2018 it seemed that 16Gb RAM was appropriate given my budget. In 2024 I saw that more RAM would be good, and I was pleased that B&H had an affordable 32GB RAM upgrade. Works great!

First off. These have to be one of the best budget anamorphics you can get your hands on as of early 2024. My only small grip is the inconsistent squeeze factor on the 50mm. If you know that it's easy to compensate in post but I would feel a little weary handing off footage from the 50mm lens. As for the 35mm, I really love how large the FOV is. On the flip side you have to get a subject very close to really feel the anamorphic stuff but outside of that is a very useful focal length As an owner op these are WELL worth your money

I bought this monitor in January of 2024. I purchased it because it had better resolution than competing monitors as well as being an IPS monitor and I prefer color accuracy and brightness. I have a window that can sometimes shine from behind me (despite the blinds) and it disturbs me a bit. The slight tilt down as well as the higher brightness than other monitors were also key decisions for me. I haven't truly utilized the 'picture in picture' mode of the monitor. Knowing those features were present was nice. Bonus points that I can charge my late-2019 (Intel) MBP from the monitor itself.

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.
