Excellent value for money
audiouser 03.01.2020
Excellent value for money, with a strong sound stage and a good amount of bass - not completely flat so perfect for casual listening - music, movies, etc. They also work well in larger rooms as a portable audio system as they're not too heavy so you can carry them around on your shoulder in the Gator G-STUDIOMON1 bag also available here if you don't want to buy a full PA system.

They do have a noticable hiss which is fine in my use case but you will be able to hear it in a smaller room when nothing is playing. If that bothers you seek a different product. The hiss is constant at all volumes. Also worth noting don't try turning these up to 10 and play films through without normalization, if you hit something that peaks the audio output like an explosion the speakers briefly cut off and the driver restarts. 6-7 is the sweet spot for me, but will depend on your audio source.

Build quality is okay but don't expect anything premium, things aren't glued flush for example. These speakers are much more about the sound for the price than overall build quality.

Works well with the JBL LSR310S subwoofer if you want extended bass response (or added earthquakes) in your setup.

Perfekte Studio-Monitore für Einsteiger mit gehobenem Anspruch
Haruna 10.01.2025
Die JBL 305P MkII Monitore sind für mich der ideale Einstieg in die Welt der professionellen Audioproduktion. Sie vereinen ein großartiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis mit einer Klangqualität, die weit über der von typischen PC- oder günstigen Multimedia-Lautsprechern liegt. Nach über 4 Jahren intensiver Nutzung bin ich überzeugt, dass sie besonders für Einsteiger und Heimstudio-Enthusiasten, die noch keine perfekte Akustik haben, eine ausgezeichnete Wahl sind.

Klangqualität – Klarheit und Präzision

Die 305P MkII liefern einen erstaunlich ausgewogenen und detaillierten Klang. Besonders beeindruckt haben mich die klaren Höhen und Mitten, die es ermöglichen, Nuancen in der Musik oder im Mix deutlich herauszuhören. Der Bass ist für Monitore dieser Größe angenehm präsent, ohne dabei übertrieben zu wirken – perfekt für kleinere Räume. JBLs „Image Control Waveguide“ sorgt zudem für eine breite und präzise Stereoabbildung, was gerade in nicht optimal akustisch behandelten Räumen hilft, den Sound besser einzuschätzen.

Für Einsteiger – Verzeihend, aber hochwertig

Einer der größten Vorteile der JBL 305P MkII ist, dass sie auch in nicht perfekt akustisch optimierten Räumen zuverlässig arbeiten. Selbst in meinem Heimstudio, das akustisch weit von ideal entfernt ist, liefern sie eine Performance, die mir das Mixen und Produzieren erleichtert. Für alle, die noch am Anfang stehen, aber dennoch Wert auf hochwertigen Sound legen, sind diese Monitore ein riesiger Schritt nach vorne im Vergleich zu günstigen Lautsprechern oder kleinen Desktop-Systemen.

Verarbeitung und Langlebigkeit – Robust und funktional

Nach 4 Jahren intensiver Nutzung haben die Monitore nichts von ihrer Qualität eingebüßt. Die Verarbeitung ist solide, und trotz täglichem Einsatz funktionieren sie einwandfrei. Das schlichte, professionelle Design fügt sich nach wie vor gut in mein Setup ein, und die robusten Materialien haben selbst kleine Transportschäden problemlos überstanden. Die Pegel- und EQ-Regler ermöglichen weiterhin eine Anpassung an verschiedene Räume, was ihre Vielseitigkeit unterstreicht.

Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis – Überragend

Für den Preis bieten die JBL 305P MkII eine Qualität, die ihresgleichen sucht. Sie sind ein Beweis dafür, dass man keinen vierstelligen Betrag investieren muss, um in den Genuss eines ehrlichen und hochwertigen Klanges zu kommen. Natürlich sind sie nicht mit High-End-Monitoren vergleichbar, aber sie bieten für ihre Klasse eine erstaunliche Leistung, die auch über Jahre hinweg konstant bleibt.

Fazit

Die JBL 305P MkII sind die perfekte Wahl für Einsteiger, die ernsthaft in die Musikproduktion einsteigen möchten, ohne ein Vermögen auszugeben. Sie bieten genug Präzision und Klarheit, um Mixe zuverlässig zu beurteilen, und bleiben auch in nicht idealen Räumen erstaunlich flexibel. Nach 4 Jahren intensiver Nutzung bin ich nach wie vor begeistert von ihrer Leistung und Langlebigkeit – ein echter Geheimtipp für alle, die hochwertige Monitore zum fairen Preis suchen!

Excellent speakers! Great value for money!
Random_Mus1c_guy 11.06.2024
I use these speekers pretty much for everything; movies, music, gaming and producing music. I am happy in every aspect. The bass is clean and it doesn't mix or interfere with the rest of the frequencies. I have them plugged in a Scarlet 4i4 3rd gen sound card and even if I turn the volume knob all the way up from both the sound card and the speakers, I get a clean 95% if not 100% of the sound. For producing music, even though I don't have that much of experience, I experiment around with FL studio and I get a great outcome. I really like the touch with the logo on the front and the LED which let's you know whether they are on. Furthermore, when they power up again from standby mode, there is a small fade in of the sound, so you gradually reach the volume the knob is set to. It's an excellent choice and don't be discouraged by the plastic design.

Very solid speakers
M. Rau 03.02.2025
Excellent value for money, that basically already says it all. They have a rather broad sweet spot and a "nice" sound. While they are not perfectly flat, they have a decent bass output that makes them sound quite full and pleasant without loosing clarity.
This makes them usable for both music production as well as casual listening.

When testing them at Thomann directly (Trying to listen to speakers before buying them regardless of reviews is something I would recommend in general) I found the sounded a lot better than most other speakers in their price range. (KRK, Yamaha, etc.)
The builtquality is also quite nice, I've had mine for over 5 years now and they still work perfectly fine.
When no audio is playing they do have a bit of hiss, I recommend turning down the speakers a bit and turning up the output of your audio interface a little more, that helps lowering the noise floor quite a bit.
Also the front plate can collect dust and fingerprints quite easily, so better don't touch them and clean them from time to time with something soft like a swiffer and you are good to go.

So overall great sound and amazing value for the money. As of right now I'll buy them again if they ever break.

Best Bang for buck studio monitors you can find
Ben Nathan 11.02.2022
Best sound I have ever experienced from a speaker - take them with the speaker stand package and you have an unbeatable deal. I got it shipped to Dubai/UAE with no issues at all - and it only took 3 weeks. (at the cheapest shipping option)

Audio quality is astounding - perfect mid and highs and the bass is unexpectedly good - I did invest in the LSR 310S so this will take it to the next level (waiting for stock availability). Be sure to order them all together and take advantage of the excellent shipment costs.

These should be an industry standard
_Nikon_ 09.07.2023
There are simply no contenders at this price for near field monitors. Big enough to have a nice low end, but not so big as to become a nuissance, or too heavy.

The only downside is that they are rear ported, which may not be useful, depending on how and where you want to set them up. If you're going to set them up against a wall, get the KRK Rokit RP5 G4, otherwise, I'd still take these.

Nice entry level monitors!
Jack85 29.01.2020
Took these monitors as I was looking for moderately priced, decent quality speakers primarily for listening to music on my computer & guitar practice at low volume levels with occasional recording.

I was expecting a good quality sound on all volume levels (especially apartment building acceptable levels), and I am happy to say that the speakers did not disappoint.

You can find here in the reviews and also the forums that there is an audible noise when the speakers are on, and I can confirm that that is indeed the case. Truth be told, this is only audible when there is no music being played and unless you are hypersensitive to this stuff, you will probably barely notice it.

Pros:
+ Good sound quality on all volume levels
+ Good EQ to tweak the sound to your room
+ Auto stand-by (can be switched off)
+ Moderately priced

Cons:
- Audible hiss when speakers are on
- Auto stand-by can kick in even when music is playing (at low levels though)

Great for the price
epasym 05.01.2021
As an inexperienced user of such monitors, pretty much my only complaint is the glossy finish on the front that collects too much dust.
It sounds great and is very feature rich for how cheap it is.
However, if you don't have a lot of space you should know that they are much bigger than you'd expect if you have never bought monitors before, and I'm assuming a lot of potential buyers have not.

I use my pair for listening to and mixing music primarily. I have them connected to a scarlett 2i2. At first they sounded extremely bassy, but after a quick look through the manual, I realised all I had to do to fix that was flip a switch on the back, so do read the manual if you don't know what you're doing.
They're very easy to set up, but you will need to have the equipment to connect them to your device, so look up what connections you need and get the proper cables, or you might end up with a big bulky paperweight.
For first time buyers, do keep in mind that you need to buy them individually, meaning if you order one from here, you only get one speaker.

Finally, one thing that annoys me slightly from time to time is the low hum they make when on max volume. I always have them on max volume and control it through my interface, but you can probably just use them differently and not have that problem.

My very first venture into speakers
David_C 14.05.2020
I know nothing of studios or sound recording. I seen my first XLR cable last week haha! - I watched some videos and these were recommended. They are absolutely incredible....

I got 30 days free of Amazon Music HD and I have been on it non-stop! Re-listening to songs all over again. The best sounding stuff has been movie and game soundtracks, makes my hairs stand on end!

Absolutely blown away! - They are perfect for little newbies like me as well. Have a built in amp thing, self powered. You don't need to worry, just plug it in and you're good.

I am getting a buzzing, but I have a XLR to 3.5 mm jack straight into my computer motherboard, cause I don't know any better haha! But once the music gets going you don't notice it much.

These speakers have opened a whole world to me. I am now looking at USB DACs and flac storage. Seems that music CD quality (44.1kHz 16-bit?) is more than enough. So I have started looking into CDs more.

Blown my mind - I put quality at 5 stars, they are probably not the best, they are amazing though!! BUY THEM!
