Best Desktop Studio Monitors 2014

If you need to have three monitors on a laptop or desktop, this will do it!

I bought this for a desktop computer setup after hearing great things about Kali Studio Monitors. I had the Kali Audio IN-5 monitor spears for several months. Now that I have the subwoofer the experience is even better! I'm using a headphone jack to RCA connecting the subwoofer to my motherboard (PC). Then use XLR cables to connect to my Speakers. The bass for gaming is incredible. Optional foot pedal switch input that lets you turn it off easily when you want to be stealthy.

These clamps are the best. I use these clamps to hold camera lights, boom arms, and my desktop studio monitors stands in place. Anyone who works in the production field needs these in their gear case.

Bought this amp to power some non-powered studio monitors I had gotten for my desktop editing system. ... Easy setup with regular 12 gauge wire. Great sound and controls. Very solid amp. The sound is great and crisp!

I've always kept studio monitors in my editing bay and before Thunderbolt docks, I never had a problem with 60hz buzz. 3 iterations of Thunderbolt and 3 docks later, I've got all kinds of interference and ground loops, and having made a recent switch in desktop setups, a 60hz buzz with all kinds of tonal electronic whining reared its ugly head. It was so bad I had to eliminate my studio monitors from my desktop, which just isn't right. Toss in the HE18 and voila, it's all gone! For a passive unit, it's well built and even looks nice. Plus, it seems pretty tough so I wouldn't have any qualms about taking it into the field. Totally worth it!

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.

I now have two monitors for the desktop comuters and both of them have superb performances over the old monitors.

Best desktop computer I had yet

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

In 2014 I bought a 23-inch HP All-in-One desktop. After 10 years of daily use, I bought a 2024 model as I wanted a faster one, but the 2014 model still works as great as it did when new. The new model is extremely fast and I am very happy with it. I have confidence that it too will work great for 10 years and still be going strong.
