Description

When selecting studio reference monitors for mixing and music production, one consideration takes precedence above all others - accuracy. Beginning with the legendary NS-10M, and continuing with the MSP and previous HS Series, this new lineup shares a design philosophy that emphasizes sonic purity without any coloring or alternation of the original sound. While many manufacturers seek to enhance the sound of their monitors to make them sound impressive, Yamaha studio monitors are designed to achieve the best possible mix by ensuring that the sound from your speakers is true to the original. HS Series nearfield reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response.

    • Great speakers
Style: Monitor Speaker Size: 3.5" Color: Black Set: Monitor Pair
Sound great and easy to hook up
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2025 by ZenSylva
    • Well, I certainly don't have any real complaints.
Style: Monitor Speaker Size: 6.5" Color: Black Set: Single Unit
THESE. ARE. SO. RAD. ( I got the HS7's FYI ). I reference any other speakers off of the pair of Bowers and WIlkins 684 floorstanders that I have. Keep in mind that these cost half the price of those and I am just as impressed, all things considered. While these don't produce as "big" of a sound and can't pump out as much volume due their much smaller size, they sound just as pristine to my ears. Now, don't get me wrong, these can fill a bedroom sized room with plenty of sound to satisfy a reasonable listener. Especially if they are placed within a few feet of your ears as I believe they are intended to be placed. That is where they sound best. I have mine about 3 feet from each ear and it is good. When I first fired these up they sounded a little bright or maybe even harsh on higher treble end. Either I got used to that or they broke in nicely, because they sound just right now after about a hundred hours of use at low to medium volume. At lower volume they tend to lack a little bottom end, and at very high volume the clarity suffers and things start getting a little distorted and muddy. At medium to medium-high volume is where these really shine. If you're using these as studio monitors as they are intended to be used, this volume range is where you'd want to be listening anyways, for various reasons. For one, you don't want to listen at loud volumes for long periods because it will fatigue your ears to the point that listening is longer pleasurable and probably not as objective as is necessary. Also you can damage your ears. You only get one set of ears. Once they're messed up, that's it. I already have some ringing in my ears from my younger days and wish I could go back and do those rock concerts over with ear plugs. Another reason is that if you mix with your speakers at high volume, it won't translate well to anyone who ever listens to what you're mixing at lower volumes. So if your sounds are ever going to be played anywhere besides a dance club, this is a legit reason. So that's that. Right there in the middle of the volume range these puppies are capable of very nice sounding audio. I've heard other people wonder about these as an option general music listening speakers, like you would with a good set of hifi speakers. On top of using them as studio monitors, I use them for this purpose too. I like listening to all of the music I listen to on them. If you aren't the kind of person that feels like Beats by Dre are the greatest sounding audio experience ever on the face of all of the universe, I'd bet you'll enjoy these. These will not blast your eardrums will ungodly amounts of bass and treble very loudly like Beats do. They will, however, show you a crystal clear image of what your music really sounds like. And if it' good music, it'll probably sound very good on these. Also, on top of of all this, they look great, and the finish on the exterior is pretty durable too. I dropped a hammer or something rather on top of one of them and it didn't even leave a mark. TLDR; I love them and highly recommend them is what this all boils down to If you can fit these in you budget, do it. Really one of the more satisfying purchases I've made. There may be better out there, but not at this price. //end rant. ... show more

    • Sounds so clear and distinct that I can now hear “the room” verses the sound from the speakers.
Style: Subwoofer Size: 8" Color: Black Set: Single Unit
Review Image by VitalBodies VitalBodies
Update: This subwoofer is awesome for listening to my Keytar in the studio. Keytar: https://amzn.to/3UPBHpR It really brings out all the sounds this incredible instrument can make. Being part guitar, part keyboard and part synthesizer it can produce an amazing range of sounds from guitar to bass to horns to keys to full blown FX The subwoofer really brings out the lows! Much more so than the Yamaha HS8 studio monitors alone. A great addition to the studio. First review: After returning three other 10” studio monitor subs that were defective. I decided to WAY up my game a go with this 8” Yamaha. I bought the HS8S with Amazon as the seller and “ships from” No issues at all with the sub. Clearly a high quality speaker. I ordered a pair of Yamaha HS8i 8” studio monitors and only one arrived. I connected the XLR cables to the one HS8i and left my earlier purchased 8” (other brand) studio monitor speaker connected. The HS8S and HS8i were so sonically clear I could suddenly hear the acoustics of the room distinctly! I could even hear the HS8i breaking in. It was astounding. I had not heard that before these speakers. The other HS8i is on the way but yet to be delivered. Technical things to consider: the heat sink in the back sticks out far enough you cannot use “angle” XLR connectors unless they are the kind that can go 4 direction. Same with the HS8i. Not saying anything against the speaker or heat sink, just something to note if you are placing the speaker in a tight space. The manual is excellent and worth reading the details that matter to you. Like balanced vs unbalanced cables. The build quality is “QUALITY”. Let the speakers break in a bit before deciding about them… Very impressive and would recommend. I might start doing hearing exercises to keep up! ... show more

Clean and sharp sound, even when volume turned all the way up. Will be investing in the subwoofer soon.

No problems with the product, but the seller should be more careful with packaging. This photo shows exactly what the box looked like when it arrived.

    • Best ENTRY LEVEL Studio Monitors You can get.
Bought the Presonus 3.5s... Sent them back. Bought the Edifier MR4s... Sent them back. Cheap is never the option unless you literal have no choice. I'm new to production but am really into sounds. Sounds in the back of tracks, taps, kicks, bumps you name it I've always loved listening to the mysterious sounds in the back of music. I didn't know what Studio Monitors were like before I got them, the other two had low hissing and would cut out souns at a "too high" volume. I did not know Studio Monitors were like old-school receivers and would cut out or "distort" when played too loud but I'm into music so I know it's an Amp issue. These let me play my music a little higher and the first time I played them I noticed something in my mix I didn't notice with both of the other speakers. If you're serious get this, if you don't really care about nuances buy the MR4s. If you don't care about a low audible hum, the Presonus 3.5 are ok but I truly don't recommend them. ... show more

    • Powered Studio Monitors
Style: Monitor Speaker Size: 3.5" Color: Black Set: Monitor Pair
Nice compact powered studio monitors with quality sound. Not a lot of low end with the 3" drivers but not too bad either, if you added the 8" subwoofer they would be perfect. Easy to get setup and connect.
