Studio Monitors For Classical Music

I got these headphones to use as both studio and field monitors, but listening to music is also truly a treat. It's lovely to hear music entirely as it was intended to be heard; no added bass or anything. These are the real deal, and they will make you both fall in love with your favorite records all over again, and will help you capture and mix amazing audio. What are you waiting for?

Because of the pandemic, I have not been able to go to the music store to listen to and purchase studio monitors. I have been doing all of my music editing using Sennheiser HD 289 Pro headphones. This Blue Cat Audio software/VST has been very useful in helping me better understand what is going on in my recording.

I really like the quality and design of this speaker. I used to listen to music using my near field studio monitors, but decided to switch to something more compact and.. far field :) And this speaker produces the same sound clarity as a two much more powerful monitors. I'm really happy with it. The only thing that I wish it had for such a steep price is the AirPlay support, and also I think it was a mistake to remove the optical input, like on the earlier model.

I use a pair of JBL 306P MkII's for studio monitors and for music playback, song accompaniment during guitar practice and pleasure listening. Really, for a set of reasonably priced powered monitors, they sound fantastic. I run them from my PC through a DAC directly to each speaker. Impressed by the sound and the build quality. Purchased and shipped directly from JBL. Great experience. Would buy again.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

Seamless powerful bass. Used mostly with all classical music from opera to concerti to the oldies.

I like that this headphone is nice and the EQ seems really flat... and it is great for editing my classical music videos.

In the past, I have used a Casio keyboard and a Harmonium as an aid in understanding South Asian classical music. The Casio is not accurate and the Harmonium is bulky. Paired with GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, this keyboard remedies both issues. And the quality appears to be good. 37 keys are just right; 25 would have been more portable but less useful. I am glad I got the bluetooth version. I did have an issue in that the bluetooth required installing Bluetooth Midi Connect from Korg. This was incompatible with OS X Mavericks. I reluctantly risked updating to Sierra. Thankfully it all went well.

I generally use these for classical vocal ensembles and chamber music. They are very responsive and handle the highs of a soaring soprano line very well. I never have to worry about the sound being distorted.

We like classical music and the sound is just wonderful in a big room. We have 1 Play 5 and 2 Play 1s and can move them around to wherever we want them. Just great.
