General

This Yamaha HS monitor set consists of two HS8 monitors accompanied by an HS8S subwoofer, so if you want reliable sound production with good volume, you're in the right place. A good monitor set is a must for producers and DJs, and having a good subwoofer doesn't hurt either. A set like this is also vital for film productions, for example, and when you're not using them on the set, you can put them in your living room so you can enjoy your music collection with perfect sound.

Yamaha HS8

These monitors are the improved versions of the famous HS80M and are excellent for equipping larger studio rooms with consistent, reliable sound reproduction. You don't have to worry about the HS8 producing any unpleasant overtones at high volumes, and distortion is limited, thanks to the efficient tweeter design. It was certainly a smart move on Yamaha's part to develop the HS series without any added treble or bass frequencies, to provide you with the most honest sound possible at any volume.

Yamaha HS8S

The remarkable appearance of this HS8S subwoofer by Yamaha definitely gets it noticed. Yamaha designed this subwoofer to create the perfect bass tones, and it would seem as though they have achieved their goal. It's like the HS8 monitors and this subwoofer were made for each other, because these HS series products match perfectly and know how to complement one another. The HS8S contains an 8-inch woofer powered by a 150W amplifier. The woofer is cleverly mounted in such a way that it first casts the sound at the floor and then throughout the rest of the room. Finally, the beautiful, deep and accurate bass tones of the HS8S are produced at frequencies from 22 to 150 Hz, making it ideal for bass-heavy music styles.

They were out of stock for a reason!!

These are excellent! Overall good sound with no hiss. They look great and they're a good price.

These monitors are a wide frequency response, giving a pretty honest, flat sound which is great for all types of music!

Definitely recommend!

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.

Excellent! These are great monitors for recording and mixing.

This monitor has a wide frequency response and is not hyped, giving a pretty flat and honest sound - which is a good thing.

Overall good sound with no hiss. Good looking monitors at good price. Recommended.

Ik heb deze speakers nu al bijna 4 a 5 jaar volgens mij, wat toen een fllinke investering was. Maar ik heb er geen moment spijt van gehad, het blijft echt een top product. De kwaliteit van het product zelf en het geluid wat eruit komt is echt insane.
Heel eerlijk denk ik zelf dat ik deze gewoon voor de rest van mijn carierre kan blijven gebruiken!
De frequency range is zeker daar!
Er zijn al meerdere nummers mee gemaakt die de miljoen hebben aangetikt kwa streams, zeker het geld waard als je het aan mij vraagt!

Kijk je hebt dus audiofielen die heel veel geld steken in bi-wiring / amping, kabels en noem maar op.

Maar die kennen deze gem niet. Sluit dit aan op een fatsoenlijke Audio interface, zet de ruimtelijk op stands. Anderhalf meter van de muren. En je hebt voor minder dan 900 euro een bi-amp set speakers met een fenomenaal geluid en plaatsing. Niet doorvertellen ;-).

Mijn setup: Zoom U-44, Dynaudio stands en 2 van deze…

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
