> There’s not much to say about the Yamaha NS10M that hasn’t already been written. Suffice to say they have become the stuff of legend, but not necessarily because of the sound quality. It was often remarked when people asked why people mixed on NS10s that if a mix sounds good on them it will sound good on anything!
That's how most monitoring speakers and headphones sound to me. But they are still very popular with people who only consume music because "professionals use them so they must be the best".
- timc3 6y agoMost good monitors are not flattering compared to normal speakers, and are often designed to be placed within a certain distance of the listener. Many of them are however excellent. Never understood why people buy them for home listening. NS10M actually have bad flaws in their design.
- marcan_42 6y agoYou don't buy studio monitors to fill a room with sound and casually listen to music. You buy studio monitors to sit directly in front of them and get an accurate image of what a track sounds like.
- lukasb 6y agoAIUI this is slander. The reason they sound "bad" is because their time resolution is so good it exposes flaws in mixing.
