General

This Yamaha HS monitor set consists of two HS7 monitors accompanied by an HS8S subwoofer to provide you with an ideal 2.1 reference system that's perfect for a variety of applications such as production, DJ-ing or even for a sound system for your living room. The Yamaha HS series is based on Yamaha's earlier series of HS monitors, but has been improved to feature a sleeker design with better technology under the hood.

Yamaha HS7

The Yamaha HS7 monitors form the core of the set, and can be credited with the perfect sound reproduction of all levels - from the lowest bass to the highest treble. Both monitors are equipped with a 95W bi-amp amplification module that sends the components enough power for optimal sound reproduction. Furthermore, Yamaha's correction system on the back of the monitors makes detailed adjustments possible, so you can get optimal performance in combination with the acoustics of the room you're in.

Yamaha HS8S

The HS8S subwoofer is quite noticeable, thanks to its unique design. In the centre of one of the sides of the woofer, you'll find a large bass reflex port that has been tactically placed in such a way that sound waves are projected onto the floor, and from there, spread throughout the room. The 150W amplification module ensures ample power, and thanks to the excellent characteristics of the audio technology, even deep frequencies are perfectly reproduced.

I wasn't sure if I should buy this sub to complement my HS7s, but I'm glad I did. I use my setup to listen to the music and watch movies, and it drastically changed the experience. First of all you really feel the music – the lower frequencies are reverberating in your body, even on very low volume. In general I noticed that I can listen to the music on a much lower volume and still enjoy every detail. It also gives presence to such instruments like double bass, tuba, drums, or lower octave of a piano. My HS7 no longer have to deal with these lower frequencies and at least to my ears sound a bit clearer.
One thing to keep in mind though is that it's very sensitive to the positioning (like any sub). If I put it in the corner a bit out of sight, then it creates a room mode in the opposite corner with greatly amplified bass, while there's almost nothing in the centre of the room. So need to play around with it, and adjust for your listening position. Something to keep in mind.
Overall very happy with the purchase.

I was just about to click & order these monitors until I saw the review. You should have replied to the customer as I will now pay a little more on another site.

I would give 0 stars if I could. I ordered 2 monitors and a pair of cables while they were in stock and a 2 days delivery was promised. After one week, I called them and they said they are still waiting for an UK adaptor to deliver the monitors. Their warehouse is in the Netherlands apparently. After another week, I received a parcel that had ONLY ONE MONITOR!!! I have been now trying to call them and they are not answering. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! I will now spend the rest of the week trying to return the monitor to get my 350 pounds back.

Caisson de basse bluffant ! Indispensable pour maitriser ses créations sonores, les basses sont correctement resituées : le caisson descend jusqu’à 22-24 Hz alors que les HP du genre HS8 ne descendent qu’à 38Hz

Uitstekende sub met Yamaha kwaliteit.
Opmerking bij de video presentatie van Stijn: Met verbazing naar zijn uitleg over de fase-switch geluister. Zo zou hij uitkomst kunnen bieden bij staande golven door de fase om te keren???? Dit is volslagen onzin!!
