Best Quality Cheap Studio Monitors

Best and cheap!

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.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

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

Seems to be a good value. I use it for my project studio monitors.

Good Build quality cable that is way better than the cheap cables they give you for on-camera monitors. Love the durability and it feels like it can take a beating.  Use it for my on-camera monitor and loving it so far. Also, like that it can stretch out in case I need to hand the monitor to a director. Recommend! [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review.]

Best of used with 5” monitors however just takes a little patience and you can make a 7” monitor fit.

I paired this with the LSR305 studio monitors, and I could not be more pleased with the sound quality. Easy to setup and excellent sound reproduction. Only drawback is the size. I did not check dimensions prior to purchasing, so it was a little larger than I expected (my own fault). But that is not a knock against the product.

The Avantone CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is easily the best purchase I made all year. I own a pair of Yamaha NS 10M Studio Monitors and for years I just used random amplifiers to power them. I decided this year to invest in a better quality amplifier to improve the overall sound quality of my Monitors. After weeks of research And reading countless reviews I decided to go with the CLA-200. I must say the shipping was immediate and I received the new amplifier the very next day after ordering. I can't stress how impressed I was with the sound quality the CLA-200 brought to my NS-10's. The clarity and the frequency response was just amazing. I highly recommend the CLA-200 for any and all Yamaha NS10 users. You won't be disappointed!

I have been using the Mackie SRM Series Studio monitors in my recording studio and home sound system for years, and did not expect this set to sound as good given the price point. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this set really sounds. If you feed them a quality audio source, they sound great. If you plug them into a cheap sound source, not so much. I like that these have multiple unbalanced and balanced input jacks. Keep in mind that these are near field monitors, so the correct placement on your desktop is necessary to realize the potential sound quality.
