305p

Have been on the hunt for some fully shielded speakers for a while now. Had been using jbl studio 530s and 305p mkIIs, but both needed to be about a foot away and this setup needs them close to be at ear level. I did use audioengine hd3s for a bit, but they're pretty weak. I also tried shielding the

I’m using cheap monitor speakers and I compared them against my budget headphone rig. I’ll probably never pull out my headphone amp again. Once you have your room treated it’s not even close. That’s the reason why everybody still buys JBL 305-308s. No contest

I’ve a pair of JBL 305, and at about $500 AUD I think they were great value. I could definitely do with some stands or a bit of room correction to bring out their best though.

since i bought my jbl 305 monitors i never ever looked any further (except for treating my room). it just sounds like pure bliss. the best way to actually improve the sound is to practice mindfulness and active listening. being at peace. that's what sounds good. if i'm mad or jumpy, music won't soun

I recently got a pair of JBL 305 MK II ($219 used in mint cond on Reverb) for my work office listening and they sound VERY good. Sadly I'm currently in an untreated and diabolical room at home and despite using Focal CMS 65, my office sounds loads better because of the room and wood covered walls, t

honestly i feel you on the dt990 frustration. some people just click better with speakers even in untreated rooms. i've been down this road before and what helped was getting monitors that have front ports or sealed designs since they're less fussy about wall placement. the jbl 305p mkii works surpr
