  • REALLY great speakers! Look at options in this price range though!
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
These speakers are 100% "HI_FI" compared to anything I've EVER listened to on a PC. While playing FLAC files etc. I get that effect where I literally think someone opened my bedroom door/walked in. This is from the stereo and the AMAZING sound reproduction. BUT these are ALSO LOW END monitors/"Multimedia Speakers" And they don't fall short. The 5" speakers come with a foam baffle to rest the speaker on to absorb sound. This WILL reduce perceivable bass. Be aware of that. IF these (THE FIVE INCH VERSION) are pushed too hard they will shut off. Letting you know you over did it and to NOT do it again. That is a HUGE plus. They look good. Just look around for similar options for the same price. Chances are these are the go to. I couldn't stand to have a 3" or 4" woofer. These are worth the money, but DO NOT overdrive them! You have been warned! Monitor the output to them however you must. If you want to purchase these, take care of them and they WILL serve you well nor will you be disappointed! Know what you are buying when you buy these! ... show more

  • Great speakers.
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
I recently got these to replace my M Audio BX8A monitors after one failed. These are pretty great speakers. They’re not really idea for mixing audio unless it’s just basic speaking and leveling from ambient sounds. But they have decent sound representation. There are no on speaker controls other than the volume. But they’re really great for about 90% of people that want computer monitors that just sound good. Great buy. ... show more

  • Excellent as long as you use them as they are intended to be used.
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
I want to write an honest review on the CRX-5 monitors because I am hopeful to help someone. I am the sound technician at a 500+ member church and we use a nice 32 channel sound board. I wanted a high quality monitor for “soloing” channels and reviewing the mix before it goes to the livestream and remote video feed (nursery etc...) The Mackie CRX-5’s far exceeds my expectations. They are crisp, clear, and have a pure and clean sound reproduction range. To all of the people complaining about the lack of bass response, shhhhh..... That is not what these are designed to do. If its bass you want, buy a pair of Mackie Thump 18S subs and you will be satisfied. They would rock as shelve speakers or computer speakers. I highly recommend them if you use them in their intended environment. If you want loud, buy some Mackie Thump 12s and 18S. If you want control room or mixing console speakers, buy these. ... show more

  • Great Quality, Great Value, with an extra power switch on front of speaker
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
Overall great monitors for the money and the volume knob on front doubles as a power switch. This feature sounds like no big deal but I guarantee you will thank the engineer who made the decision daily if you use them often, never having to stand up and reach behind your setup is AMAZING.

  • Good for the price
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
It might seem like a lot of money but compared to what is out there these monitors are good for the price. Would recommend for those running on a budget.

  • Sons Christmas gift and he loves them.
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
My son like to make beats and wanted speakers for mastering. After some research I went with these and they are great. Can’t wait to add the subwoofer with these. Wouldn’t hesitate to make the purchase again.

  • Completes my M1 Mac Logic Pro X setup
Size: 5-Inch Style: Standard Pattern Name: Monitors
Very nice monitors for the price. Very clear highs, mids and the bass response on the lows are nice and balanced. They look really nice and the build quality is better than I expected for the price. I am running Logic Pro X on an m1 Mac mini and this really completes my DAW setup. I highly recommend if you are looking for some good budget friendly studio monitors to mix with. ... show more
