Great review. I have the T8V and am very happy with the sound and build quality. One other thing that stands out on these also vs others in this price range is no hiss or feedback when mixing or just listening at low levels.
@@amnsia747 you can definitely Listen without disturbing anyone. There’s a switch to cut the bass down if necessary but like I said they sound good at low levels. Only way I’d say get the T7V is space or budget restrictions. They do take up a lot of real estate.
Thanks man you have helped me a lot with this video, I was searching and trying to find out which studio monitors can I buy. Initially I was thinking of buying the hs7 but after seeing some complaining about ear fatigue, you have relived me now, definitely I am buying the Adams T7V.
I got the T7V's a few days ago, turned out bigger than I thought but they sound really awesome. Didn't need to get accustomed to the sound at all, they just sound great. My bedroom looks a lot cooler now as well haha. They're dirt cheap too, I paid €280 for the pair of T7Vs.
NOT ONLY do you post relevant content for producers and content creators, your presentation is very polished and to the point. I like Adam though I use KRK V4 series 2 with KRK 10S sub plus Genelec 8050a. Both old school builds but still honest as day 1 for me. I would suggest you ask Adam to link this video with theirs or you do a fresh review of your new speakers on their CZcams channel, because they post other content creators and some celebrities to talk about their experience with their products. You would perfect! GOD BLESS bro, I really enjoy watching your journey.
Thanks for the great feedback and suggestions bro! They are really good with their social media and CZcams content, I agree. I think that's major from such an established brand.
I recently bought these Adam Audio T7V’s and I couldn’t be more happy! They are definitely the best monitors in this price range. They sound as good as monitors costing twice as much!
Man, I really wanted to like the Adam T7V's and there are so many positive reviews on them, my buddy even has a pair and they sounded amazing... but I had issues with them. The first pair I received had an issues with the volume when set at 0 on the speakers I had to turn the volume on multiple interfaces to Max to barely get any audible sound. I then turned the speakers up to +18 and with both the speakers, and the interface, fully maxed it was half the output that my KRK Rokit 6 G3's produce. I returned the first pair and tried the Rokit 7 G4's and due to them sounding too boxy I decided to exchanged them and give the Adams a second shot. I got them setup and all was well until I started to push them when the lows started distorting. I ended up returning them and I continue to look for replacements for my KRK's.
Great video, subbed! I'm really interested in buying the T7Vs, because I have trouble getting good mixes with my current speakers. The speakers I use now are no 'studio monitors', but just regular ear pleasing B&W from my dad, which he bought somewhere around 1998. Hyped
Yeah it's hard to get your mixes right when you're not hearing accurate information. I'm really happy with them and it's one less thing to be concerned about as a producer 💯💯💯
Great breakdown bro, VERY informative!!Bruh.. I was rollin when saw the Whup Dat Trick scene lol!! God bless you bro and keep shining and keep up the great work!!!🙏🏾✊🏾
That means a lot bro! Thanks for tuning in with me and for the encouragement. Y'all keep me motivated to keep sharing the journey, so I genuinely and greatly appreciate the feedback 🙏🤜💥🤛
Very satisfied with my Adam T7V's. The quality on these speakers are phenomenal and worth every penny. Believe the hype! These are the real deal! Dope review Sight! ✌
Thanks for this amazing review man! I was already leaning towards getting Adams as my first set of monitors, I have decided now and going for the T8Vs.
@@labandlegacy I was thinking if the 7s are doing such a great work for you I bet the 8s would be stellar for me! I produce mainly electronic and I play electric guitar as well and I'd want that extra kick out of them! Also working in a relatively large room.
Great video.....💯 I will be in the market soon for a nice pair of monitors and now I will definitely consider these....Thanks for sharing .. Blessings 💯🙏🏾
Thanks for the dope feedback! It's hard to do monitor or headphone reviews because everyone's perception is a little bit different, plus there are some things you just have to experience in person, but I was able to hear much more depth in my mixes almost immediately. Definitely try to listen to them if you can.
iamsight the ones you don’t like partially... Rokit 8s 3rd Gen, but I do the bulk of my mix on Beats Pro headphones 🎧 that are about 8 years old then I check it on the speakers.
Great Video again I have always been a fan of Adam just could not afford them I went with the Yamaha HS7 last year had I saw this Video I would of bought the ADAMS for sure great info again
I have these monitors as well. I wanted slightly more bass, so I paired mine with the Adam Sub7. Gives it that punch when I want it. Agree with you 100% on the sound/instrument separation. Good, budget friendly pair of quality monitors.
Thanks for watching! These were surprisingly more affordable than I thought and it was a very pleasant surprise, lol. I'm glad to have a set I'm really happy with so I can move on to other areas of improving my sound! 💯💯💯
mine are showing up today - can't wait - can you give a little ' how to ' on a quick and easy ' speaker set up' for a small room? I used to like my speakers about 6 ft apart and sit in the sweet spot but I'm thinking - with the adam's - I might spead them out a little more and further away..
Mine are about 7 feet and they feel a little wide. I think the sweet spot is pretty big on these but I still tend to lean into one speaker or the other to hear detail. I probably would keep them kinda tight, 6 feet might be perfect. Every room is different though so it could still work. I think the major thing to focus on is those first reflections. Making sure the first bounce point to you is treated in some way.
This is a GREAT review!! I've been using the T7Vs for a couple of years now and LOVE them, but started wondering if it might be nice to switch to the HS7s because of the option to add the HS8S sub for mixing 808s, subs, growls, etc. I've decided the T7V really is a superior monitor, but I will try the 2db bass boost - I just assumed it would add a lot of boom and throw the overall mix off. Thanks for the info!
Nice review :) Thanks. Thinking of buying those. I got two questions. 1) How big is the room where you use t7vs? 2) What about a bass reflex placed on their back? How big is the space between speakers and a wall in your case?
Thanks for watching! I should have included that, I actually have it in my notes 🤦♂️. My room is 10x12 with the speakers on the shallow side. If I had even a couple more feet I would have gone with the 8's.
Ok, you just made me change my shopping cart from T8v's to T7v's!!! My room is too small for the 8's but I kept convincing myself I need that extra low 6hz of bass response. Guess this will just cause more problems than not so I'll stick with the 7's. Especially since you mentioned adding the +2db of bass made such a big difference. I'll get the 7's and see how I get on. Great review by the way ;-)
I wanted the 8s as well, and I'll probably get them when I finally build a full size studio but yeah these are doing the trick. My mixes have been coming out really clean. Thanks for watching and for the dope feedback!
@@labandlegacy Ha ha! In the end I didn't buy any Adams monitors at all. After lots of research (and especially considering the size of my room) I went with a 2.1 setup consisting of two Genelec 8020DPM's & a 7040APM subwoofer :-)
Keep it bumping🔥🔥🔥.. Yo, big hommie iamsight & MPC community I'm looking for compatible Bluetooth headphones for my MPC live the first one. any suggestions? Or is the taotronics bluetooth transmitter only way??
I don't think the MPCs can output Bluetooth audio bro, only MIDI signals for keyboards from what I've been told. You would have to use a transmitter, but honestly I would keep it on the cord unless you plan on doing stuff like filming performances in different locations.
I got the T8Vs, but forgot I have a small room!! 🤣🤣 found myself mixing in headphones. The woofer on the back firing at a untreated wall doesn’t help. They sound great tho!!
Great review! I got some T8vs in about 2 weeks ago. I love them. how do you set your gain on the back of them? I boost mine about 8 db. I didn't half to do this with previous monitors. I def like them a lot better than Krk g4s. Just felt like gain at 0 was to quiet even with my interface and Mac all the way up. at 9 db I can mix with interface up and Mac half way.
Thanks for watching! I don't play or mix my music very loud at all due to my living situation. I usually have my volume under 30% so 0db is good for me. I use a control room mixer to adjust volume, and rarely have to crank it past 30%. I prefer to not crank the speakers up that high on the back for safety. If you get a rogue signal or a clipped sound you could blow them.
Thanks for the great video, iamsight! I have a question about it. My room is about 18.7 feet deep and 9.85 feet wide (3 x 5.7 meters) and I find it difficult to determine if I can have 8 inch monitor speakers in this room. Currently I have 5 inch JBL speakers and I have to turn them very loud to hear any bass response at all (at any distance). I'm looking for monitor speakers with a flat response, but with a clear and audible bass response so that I can make better choices while mixing. I don't want very booming speakers, but I do want to be able to make good choices with regard to the bass frequencies in the mix at a lower volume (my children should not be bothered by it either). Would you (yourself) choose and recommend the T7V or would you be inclined to choose the T8Vs? Thanks! 😎👍
That's a tough one. I think 9.85 isn't very wide but 18.7 is pretty deep. My room is about half the size and I have to boost the bass on the back of the 7s. I think you could probably do the 8s, but either one should be a noticeable improvement over 5s.
@@labandlegacy Hi John, thank you for your answer! My room is a bit wider than 9.85 feet, but I didn't quite count the sides (my music studio is in the attic). I think I'll try the 8 first. The most important thing for me is that I get a natural bass response at a lower volume and I think the 8 are more capable of this. If they sound too booming I can always bring them back and get the 7's.
Could you tell me if these monitors produce a lot of noise right after switching on ? Will the noise be heavily audible in a small quiet room ? Thanks !
I’ve found that keeping them about 50% to 75% keeps them under the ambient noise from my computer (which I keep on silent mode). If you’re driving a mixer into them you can get a lot of clean gain going in so you don’t have to raise the volume much past 50%. White noise typically gives me a headache so not too much from these at all.
By your opinion, could those monitors be used on a regular consumer base, just for enjoying music? For example if i am not any kind of sound producer? Watched your review and was very impressed by your description..must admit that they look sweet and i really am considering buying them now!
If you're an audiophile I suppose they could be used for listening to details, but it's kind of like looking at a painting with a magnifying glass. Not really the most pleasurable perspective. When I play music on other speakers, it sounds "prettier"
@@labandlegacy Thank you for the advise! Is there anything you can reccomend for consumer listening in a similar price range by your personal expirience?
😂😂😂 You clearly haven't looked at the graphs. They're practically indistinguishable, however the ribbons provide a more detailed high end with less ear fatigue. Graph is at 10:38 czcams.com/video/64wfMYpACEQ/video.html
rokit have got really far with generation 4 stuff, they are grate with G4 for perfect frequency response with kebler drivers which contains 25 room eq adjustment they are dope
Best Speakers for the price Adams are my go to mastering speakers tv7's . I use lsr305 1st gen with sub to make the music and mix it and then mastering I go to the ribbon tweeter to get that extra sheen that lsr305 do not have since no ribbon tweeter. The real different in tv7 vs ax7 is front bass,different woofer material,wider tweeter but for the money it almost the same just get stands ,pads and treat your room.
I am. I love the T7Vs. They’re great for what I do which has been a lot of sound design and great for mixing. Not the best production monitors since they’re very flat but I bump the low on top end a bit on the back. They’re all solid choices bro. Yamaha and Kalis probably being a little better for hitting hard, and Yamahas are very clear. The Adam’s are easy on the ears in long sessions and I never get ear fatigue really. Can’t lose with any of them.
It's a very slight "air" on them when turned past the 0db setting. It's unnoticeable to me amidst my PC and just general house noise, but if I put my ear up to them especially at night I can make it out. Definitely not something I notice like when I have a high gain mic.
@@labandlegacy so not so bad as my KRKs i gor 2 days ago..i can hear it loud and clear from 2m away...will replace them with ADAMS, seema like the noise is much much quieter
They have internal amps so you just run an RCA to them or even better a balanced 1/4" to XLR cable. Preferably out of an audio interface, but you can use the computer stock sound card if necessary.
I’m used to a little more hyped speakers so I boosted both. I think if my room was treated I probably wouldn’t need to, but it put me right where I’m used to with the mix.
T8V is going to give you a fuller bass response, so if you have a medium/large size room the T8V is the way to go. If your room is small, you can save yourself some money and get the 7s.
I believe front ported speakers only add the benefit of placement very close to the wall. Most of us will have at least 8 inches to a foot so I don't think it's a big deal.
I was looking at the Kali Audios and they are a great budget option. I am doing more sound design so I opted for a flatter frequency response for mixing accuracy especially in the upper midrange. The Kali's may be really good for all around production speakers.
It’s all about return on investment. I don’t go into debt personally on items that don’t spike my revenue in 3-6 months. I’m not an engineer, so the ROI on $1000+ monitors would take years to justify. I buy the gear that fits my business model, I don’t try to make my business model fit my gear.
hi iamsight! I just god these speakers and I hear white noice coming out from the speakers.. is there like a solution for this issue or not? if somebody had the same problem and fixed it please let me know ASAP! :)
Are you hearing it when they aren't connected to anything? If not it could be your interface. I hear VERY little noise coming out of mine. I have to move close to the speaker to hear it.
Well I have the audiobox Itwo from presonus. Tbh I don't know if that's the problem even when im standing far away from the t7vs I still hear it so I really dk bro
you're looking for a lower bass right, not louder bass, as you said. but you wanna boost the bass at the back of the monitors for about 2 db? hahha it doesn't mean lower bass..
I have a subwoofer bro. I don't need lower bass. 😮💨 I needed my bass to be LOWER IN MY MIXES. Aka... I was overcompensating 🤦🏽 You should probably learn a little more before you open your mouth so you don't play yaself my G.
I own the T7's and the Hedd Type 07, while there is no direct comparison here. The T7's are the best at this price bar, none. The Hedds start at 1200.00 each, yeah they are much better and at 7 times the price of the Adams, they are Not 7 times better.
@@labandlegacy There are millions of "white" people who wear their cap like you and I dislike it too. Looks silly. Why has everything to be a "skin color" or "gender" problem these days?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bro, I am LITERALLY doing this as we speak 💯 A7V is a definite improvement as well. I’ll probably do a comparison video while the swap is fresh in my mind.
Great review, iamsight! 😍🙌🙌

White noise typically gives me a headache so not too much from these at all.
By your opinion, could those monitors be used on a regular consumer base, just for enjoying music? For example if i am not any kind of sound producer? Watched your review and was very impressed by your description..must admit that they look sweet and i really am considering buying them now!
If you're an audiophile I suppose they could be used for listening to details, but it's kind of like looking at a painting with a magnifying glass. Not really the most pleasurable perspective. When I play music on other speakers, it sounds "prettier"
@@labandlegacy Thank you for the advise! Is there anything you can reccomend for consumer listening in a similar price range by your personal expirience?
This is a good review. I was thinking of getting the Yamaha H8s but I might consider the AdamT8s now.
They're both really good, u really can't lose, but the detail on the Adams is unbelievable.
The Frequency Response on Yamaha HS8 is more linear , they Translate better on other System. Adam T7V have scooped mids.
😂😂😂 You clearly haven't looked at the graphs. They're practically indistinguishable, however the ribbons provide a more detailed high end with less ear fatigue. Graph is at 10:38 czcams.com/video/64wfMYpACEQ/video.html
🤣👍🏻 Harsh Hi-End because of your untreated Room. But its ok, you are the Pro. ✌🏻
rokit have got really far with generation 4 stuff, they are grate with G4 for perfect frequency response with kebler drivers which contains 25 room eq adjustment they are dope
Yeah they look like they've taken a lot of feedback into account for those. I have the 2nd gen so I'm sure they've come quite a ways since then.
Sight I stumbled across your video and realized i was looking at you 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Best Speakers for the price Adams are my go to mastering speakers tv7's . I use lsr305 1st gen with sub to make the music and mix it and then mastering I go to the ribbon tweeter to get that extra sheen that lsr305 do not have since no ribbon tweeter. The real different in tv7 vs ax7 is front bass,different woofer material,wider tweeter but for the money it almost the same just get stands ,pads and treat your room.
Hey Sight, I was curious.... are you still rocking the T7V's? I am debating between your same choices... Kali LP-6 V2 and the Yam's HS7's or 8's.
I am. I love the T7Vs. They’re great for what I do which has been a lot of sound design and great for mixing. Not the best production monitors since they’re very flat but I bump the low on top end a bit on the back. They’re all solid choices bro.
Yamaha and Kalis probably being a little better for hitting hard, and Yamahas are very clear. The Adam’s are easy on the ears in long sessions and I never get ear fatigue really. Can’t lose with any of them.
@@labandlegacy Mostly hard rock and metal myself... man this is tuff!! lol thanks for the reply.
How is the noise they emit ? Talking about if there is any hiss coming out of them when nothing is playing. Thanks
It's a very slight "air" on them when turned past the 0db setting. It's unnoticeable to me amidst my PC and just general house noise, but if I put my ear up to them especially at night I can make it out. Definitely not something I notice like when I have a high gain mic.
@@labandlegacy so not so bad as my KRKs i gor 2 days ago..i can hear it loud and clear from 2m away...will replace them with ADAMS, seema like the noise is much much quieter
What about the jbl 305
Thanks
I heard the t5v’s sound better than the t7v’s. Any thoughts ?
Adam audio advises breaking them in for 8 hours before using them for projects.
Hi brother, I got T7V yesterday but my one speaker level is louder then other one, how to fix it or should i return it ?
If these dont need an amp how to you hook them up to a computer or tv? And what if you want to add a sub
They have internal amps so you just run an RCA to them or even better a balanced 1/4" to XLR cable. Preferably out of an audio interface, but you can use the computer stock sound card if necessary.
@@labandlegacy thanks for the fast reply :) . What do you mean by audio interface? and can i use as sub with that
Did you just pull up the 2db on the LF or did you Boost low AND high frequencies ?
I’m used to a little more hyped speakers so I boosted both. I think if my room was treated I probably wouldn’t need to, but it put me right where I’m used to with the mix.
Anybody has an opinion PreSonus R80 vs Adam T8v? Mainly for music listening, not professional work.
7:00 dip switch
i'm confused in T7V and T8V, which one is better ?
T8V is going to give you a fuller bass response, so if you have a medium/large size room the T8V is the way to go. If your room is small, you can save yourself some money and get the 7s.
@@labandlegacy Okk buddy then will go for T7V, Thanks :)
Is the rear bass port going to be a problem? Mine is a treated room 10×12..i'm concerned about the rear bass port.
I believe front ported speakers only add the benefit of placement very close to the wall. Most of us will have at least 8 inches to a foot so I don't think it's a big deal.
@@labandlegacy Cool. how would you rate this when compared to kali audio LP-6?
I was looking at the Kali Audios and they are a great budget option. I am doing more sound design so I opted for a flatter frequency response for mixing accuracy especially in the upper midrange. The Kali's may be really good for all around production speakers.
@@labandlegacy thank you
i got adam t7v single monitor can i buy adam t8v because t7v are no more in my country
😅 That is a tough situation. I would get 2 T8Vs if possible, if not I would hold off until the T7V comes back in stock.
I am this close | | to making that purchase.

💪🤜💥🤛

Probably should have jumped on the A7x. Thats why we have credit cards right!
It’s all about return on investment. I don’t go into debt personally on items that don’t spike my revenue in 3-6 months. I’m not an engineer, so the ROI on $1000+ monitors would take years to justify. I buy the gear that fits my business model, I don’t try to make my business model fit my gear.
@@labandlegacy Great advice. I just rearranged my office to get a 7-8 inch speaker. Great videos.
hi iamsight! I just god these speakers and I hear white noice coming out from the speakers.. is there like a solution for this issue or not? if somebody had the same problem and fixed it please let me know ASAP! :)
Are you hearing it when they aren't connected to anything? If not it could be your interface. I hear VERY little noise coming out of mine. I have to move close to the speaker to hear it.
Well I have the audiobox Itwo from presonus. Tbh I don't know if that's the problem even when im standing far away from the t7vs I still hear it so I really dk bro
Try disconnecting the audio cables. If it goes away it's gotta be something in your audio chain.
Tried it but didn't work I think ur right probably my interface but thx anyways brother!
Anybody got a link for decent stands for em?
🔥💯🔥
I heard the T5Vs were meant to be better
you're looking for a lower bass right, not louder bass, as you said. but you wanna boost the bass at the back of the monitors for about 2 db? hahha it doesn't mean lower bass..
I have a subwoofer bro. I don't need lower bass. 😮💨 I needed my bass to be LOWER IN MY MIXES. Aka... I was overcompensating 🤦🏽 You should probably learn a little more before you open your mouth so you don't play yaself my G.
I own the T7's and the Hedd Type 07, while there is no direct comparison here. The T7's are the best at this price bar, none. The Hedds start at 1200.00 each, yeah they are much better and at 7 times the price of the Adams, they are Not 7 times better.
Why do people think base caps are cool, esp. if you wear them wrong? smh
How to tell people you're white without saying you're white 🤣
@@labandlegacy There are millions of "white" people who wear their cap like you and I dislike it too. Looks silly.
Why has everything to be a "skin color" or "gender" problem these days?
@@labandlegacy But I agree that the A7X are great monitors.
Best reason to get the t7v and not the t8v? Because your partner wont notice you upgrading to the a7v 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bro, I am LITERALLY doing this as we speak 💯 A7V is a definite improvement as well. I’ll probably do a comparison video while the swap is fresh in my mind.
@@labandlegacy buying the t7v in a few months, then a7v beginning next year... I wasn't joking, I have a plan 😎🤣
Looking forward to your experiences 👍
