Yamaha HS Series Monitors
Ever since the 1970's the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason - their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.
By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5" model to the lineup, bringing its exceptional accuracy to an even greater variety of recording environments.

Newly Developed TransducersThe HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. |
High Performance Amp UnitHS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that each HS Series speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum. |
Controls and ConnectivityHS Series full-range models feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks. |

Low Resonance Enclosure DesignHS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. |
Cutting Edge Noise ReductionSpeaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex. |
New HS Install VersionsThe new installation version of the renown Yamaha HS Studio Monitors include mounting points and screws for installation. Compatible with wall, ceiling, and baton brackets (sold separately. |

Perfect for the office or living quarters or even a small studio
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019
The Yamaha HS5 monitors are great for any musician, music enthusiast, or audiophile. I previously have the KRK Rokit 6 G3 monitor speakers and decided to step down to something smaller like these. A great buy for the new studio and they are aesthetically pleasing.

However if you mix tracks and know exactly what you are listening to and want to modify your tracks...these are the speakers for you.
Connectivity:
Each speaker unit has its own power so you'll need 2 extra wall outlets. You'll need external soundcard or audio interface (for example Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). You'll need 2 TRS to TRS cables (one for each channel) or 2 TRS to XLR cables for connecting speakers to the audio interface.
You'll laptop/desktop internal sound card and the 3.5mm jack won't power these speakers.
In addition you'd probably need isolation pads and might want to sound proof your studio for best results.
If all this sounds like too much work, you probably don't need these speakers.
Sound quality:
In terms of sound quality, these are a tad better in showing the mid range and treble frequencies than ATH M50x. However M50x has brilliant tight bass. And such bass can only be achieved by sub woofers (Yamaha HS8S)
Update after one month:
After the break-in period the cones become more sensitive and the boomy sound has gone. With a little sound proofing these sounds amazing. With these speakers, placement and room acoustics are very important. Just buying the speakers and expecting wonders is incorrect. After experimenting with DB gain and trim found out the perfect setting for my room.
The stereo separation and perfect. The instrument separation of brilliant and flat... If something if recorded, after the recording is done while mixing and mastering you'll get perfect output on how much compression and equing is required with each frequency band. This is critical so that the mix sounds good everywhere. Even the slightest equing must show through so the the perfect amount can be dialed in.. And these monitors do a perfect job at that..
Highly recommended for mixing tracks.. (for casual listening-do not buy these monitors you'll be disappointed in bass frequencies)
Note: if bass frequencies are to be monitored accurately.,then investing in HS8S is a good idea. Or a pair of headphones (ATH M50X) would do just fine for the bass frequencies.
Update After 2 months: Comparing them with my new Sennheiser HD 598 SE, I find these much more true to the original source. These speakers do not color the sound with any amplification which is an engineering feat considering that I'm comparing speakers with headphones where controlling the acoustics of speakers is far more difficult. I could have got a pair of HD650 or AKG K702 (as they are touted to be flat), but monitoring on speakers is much more natural and feels much better.
One important point to consider, Room acoustics play a very important role in how your speakers sound. Also these speakers are very very directional, Unless you're not sitting right in the middle of the sweet spot (forming an equilateral triangle with the 2 speakers at the two vertices and your head at the third), you'll not get the best sound. The treble frequencies get muffled out if you're not sitting in the sweet spot. You also need to switch off your fans, coolers and ACs to completely immerse yourself in clean, pristine audio.

Great monitors but probably an overkill for me at this time as I do not have the right setup to use it effectively.
