I just have an normal headphone jack for my mac, what do cables do I need to make this work (without the controller) ? I was confused when I checked the links out so decided to comment for a more straightforward answer. I would appreciate a reply.
It the bottom link on the pinned comment
peace ! Steve? How i can use it with my Iphone 12 Pro Max with bluetooth or AudioJoe^^?
@christian did you watch the video?
Do they come with a power cord??
I absolutely love how you recorded this audio with a speaker set up in your room and actually provided sound samples. Its crazy hard it is to find this type of overview. Thank you!
Tech Steve's intentions are good but you should always do in person sound demo's, by the time the audio gets to your ears through CZcams it's so convoluted it hardly qualifies as being accurate.
Thanks, you get it 👍🏾
@@TechSteve If your review gets people interested enough in the Rokit 5 to go check them out at the retail level then you've accomplished exactly what the review is designed to do in the first place, you can't force people there but you can suggest they at least check it out.
@@malibustacy3606 thats the entire point. No review with audio recorded through an phone mic is going to interest me enough to go to a store and listen. This review helped me narrow it down so I can check stock at retailers to go look. I didn't say I was basing my entire judgement of these monitors off this review.
I just unboxed mine today! The sound...THE SOUND! I felt like I had new ears! I am astounded! WORTH EVERY CENT
Great! Glad you like them 🔊🔉🔊🔉
Amazing review. Now listening to the ROKIT 5 sound review 4:20 through my $10 speakers
No, that is not true. You listen to the same music, recorded via a Microphone, in a DAW, modified by equalizers and compressor, to be perfect for yt,... trough you $10 speakers. :)
That is a test which make no sence, unless you bought the speakers and an appropriate Interface/Soundcard.
But he makes me believe its true what he is saying and i am gone buy them.. ;)
@@gehteuchnixan9027 Literally made me laugh!
Thanks :D
You’re channel is PEAK, I absolutely needed this info! Thank you!
Thanks Torque
Thanks to you and your demonstration, I opted to buy them. They arrive in a few days!
Mine arrived today after waiting over a month. Excited is an understatement, they look and sound mint !
Great to hear that you like them
Fantastic video Steve!!! It still holds up as I was looking at Studio Monitors in 2024
Great review and really professional vid. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to getting my hands on these speakers.
You will like them, if you love bass go for the larger models. The 5” drivers have a great balanced sound for my setup.
Tech Steve thanks! I think the 5” is what I’m going with - a little more budget friendly ;)
Thanks appreciate your work on these videos
I have G2...For years they've been incredible. I've diched Jamo,JBL,and Tannoy. Once I've used KRK,for this price nothing is comperable...Best buy in years!
Cool. Fellow San Diego here. I just pulled the trigger on a KRK Rockit 5 G4.
Your video helped convince me.
Diego is where its at
well done review...of what is actually needed in a review.
Love your set up :)
i have this for a week now, still breaking in . . . so far the sound quality is very good.
Wdym still breaking in??
Thank you Steve!
thanks a lot for this!
Hey amazing review! Loved it man.. also really amazing sounds from the playlist bro.. please share your playlist!
Thanks, the playlist is on a paid service for content creator. www.epidemicsound.com/
Just got mine a couple days ago haven't hooked them up yet but wow they sound great!!!
Have you greened out on them yet you won't want to listen to them ever again
@@curtisgilmore66 wdym
Nice set up Steve and also some tracks there bro
Thanks, I appreciate that
I like your clean desktop setup, bro
Excellent review! I have the same pair and one thing I will say is it takes time to break in. The sound gets better over time as with any other monitors
is it just me or the sound os very flat? like theres not a lot of bass, is it normal?
@@cardwarsking2927 They are 5 inch drivers, so the bass response isn’t going to be fantastic. If you are looking for monitors to achieve more accurate low frequency, perhaps look into the 7/8 inch equivalent monitors like the Rokit 7 or my fav, HS8
There’s eq settings to increase the highs. I personally just leave flat
Awesome reviews, keep it up!
I appreciate the praise 🤜🏽
I like your presentation style. Thanks for the Video. Cheers.
You’re welcome
just discovered your channel, love your reviews! Could you also do like a size comparison to like a ruler :D
Here the Rokit 5 specs
Height 11.22" / 285 mm
Width 7.48" / 190 mm
Depth 9.49" / 241 mm
Weight 10.69 lb / 4.85 kg
Thanks for this video. I couldn't make up my mind on the 5 or the 7 and eventually payed up for the 7 for the 145 watts
good job Steve. just subbed
i love the krk rokit speakers i have the rokit 5 rpg 2 speakers and for my audio mixer im using the behringer xenyx 802
Very nice vid man ⚡️⚡️
🔈 🔊
Nice Review Steve, thanks!
You’re welcome 👍🏽
fire broll
Just ordered these after considering the AudioEngine A2+. A little concerned about fitting these large monitors on my desk setup. What are your desk dimensions? Seems to work fine for you.
Great video 👍
Thanks
Great video bro. Thank you
Thanks 👍🏽
Hi Steve! How big is your desktop? Also, great videos. Thanks!
great video!!
Thanks
thank you steve!
You’re welcome Roy
Will definitely buy this if I can get a second job
Excellent video man 🙌🏿 definitely my next speaker purchase
Very nice Video bro!
Thanks 👍🏽
Thanks for this video loved it m looking to get these for my keyboard and a handsonic electric drum pad do they give enough bass for the drum pad ? Not looking to rattle the house lol
That’s a personal preference, the bass is good to me but they make larger models
Hi Steve.....What are you on about with those non standard cables? The speaker takes a normal TRS-TRS cable for audio interfaces or a XLR-XLR cable for mixers.....Cheers ;)
Good video 👍 Ordered my pair of these today, but have to wait 2 weeks till they arrive 😭
2 weeks is up 😛
Are they lit?
How would I manage integrating these into my setup if I have an audio interface for my computer, but also have a Fractal FM3 guitar fx unit that acts as an audio interface as well. Do I manually have to unplug and replug between both interfaces? Basically the question boils down to this: How do I connect a pair of studio monitors to two different audio interfaces?
Link to the grill cover pls? Great review btw!!!
You the 🐐
Thanks for the video Tech Steve. You got my support! #Blackpower
I need something I can use to increase the volume of backing tracks I have on my iPhone 11. Will these work? TIA
That's great review. They are definitely nice speakers. But may I ask, what microphone have you been using for recording ? The sound is AWESOME. It is a condenser and unidirectional, I think. Did you make any editing on sound ? Even with post editing I think, after KRKs, the mic used for recording is just great . May I ask what mic is it ? Thank you. Everything is good in this review, the KRKs, video and sound. Keep up the good work
I didn’t edit the sound, I’m using the Blackmagic pocket 6k build in 48v phantom power to a Rode NTG4+ Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Microphone with Inbuilt Battery
wow, that is great, it's quite impressive. In home environment to have such a good quality of image AND sound without any editing. I suspected that mic is Rode. Thank you for sharing. I'm planning to buy a good mic and good monitors and so far these KRKs are my favourite. Cheers
Awesome video and review. Is there any way of getting a female aux to Bluetooth adapter to play music through my phone without my phones having to be plugged in if that makes sense, Thankyou in advance
To be honest without the audio interface, you’re probably going to get static and white noise. These speakers need xlr balanced cables to sound clean. I would just buy Bluetooth speakers for your phone
Thank you so much for this review! Do I understand correctly: You cannot connect both monitors to your laptop but just one. If you want to connect them to your laptop you have to get an audio interface, correct? Thank you!
I showed the a adapters you can buy
Jist got them. Love them. If your looking to have monster sound. I suggest get 8s or 10s. 5s are perfect for mixing and creating. Also not messing up your ears.
Do they come with or need a power cord?
@lastserenadeproductions
Yes
@@RRESully yea they come with power chord. If you go to Sam ash they have a bundle with other stuff
Thanks yall💪
KRK rokit are best monitors. Good review.
Hi Steve, I do a lot of radio broadcast production and voicework. Would you recommend these for what I'm doing?
I would go with a shure smb7 mic
i came for the speakers, feel in love with the music playlist when you were testing, Is it possible to share that playlist. Thanks.
Agreed! I hope he sees this, I absolutely loved the songs.
hey so!
i made a list of the songs he played for you, took me a while to find them
1. Jakarta - Bonsaye
2. Amanecer - El Neón
3. Honestly - Hallman
4. Que Sera - Nico Rengifo
5. Hidden Depth - Megan Wofford
Hope this helped!
@@prismen5535 thanks
Update now that I have two of these in my studio, should I leave the eq on flat or should I tune to room acoustics from the app? I produce a range of music genres so not sure what would u suggest as a music producer
@@prismen5535 thanks heaps!
I also have a Mac 2017. Will I need a sound card for my iMac? Or is the sound quality from the iMac good enough. Quite new to Production so I’m not too sure
It sounds better with a usb Audio controller, you can get humming headphone outs
Can i get a good guitar sound using simulators and studio monitors ?
I just got mine in White Noise. The Rokit 5 packs a punch, but still is very clear on the mid and high end for mixing. Good review, thank you. BTW are you using CZcams Music? You like it?
What do you have them plugged into, they’re completely silent without a signal on the Focusrite solo.
@@TechSteve I have them hooked up to my Audient iD14.
Thinking on buying these dope speaker, pair it with focusrite interface and hook it into my smart tv.
These speakers could work but I would stick to home theater speakers for TV,s because the are designed with different intentions
@@TechSteve My setup is primarily media streaming and gaming, would this be okay or is it an overkill?
It would be ok if you use a computer with it and the tv as a monitor but you want have a remote control for the volume. Not overkill I’m not sure if it practical.
Wonderful review ! Peace !!!
Peace✌🏽
@@TechSteve Steve tell me please, can you tell me the names of the first three songs which you played in this video while testing the monitors? I liked them very much
It was random and I didn’t write down, I didn’t think people would ask
@@TechSteve Ahhh OK, Steve no problem. I thought you had a playlist. I wish you all the best !!!
Look thru the replies in the video, I think one guy named them
I do like that small mixer unit, what is it sir ? will these produce stereo as well ?
czcams.com/video/lPSa1npQyoE/video.html
Hello. Question. Have these monitors and they are good. I use them to play bass through my laptop via the scarlett solo. I have it connected from the monitor to the interface with a TRS cable both ends. I noticed you mentioned TLS from XLR ...is this a better quality connection than TRS both ends ?
If you’re not getting humming then you’re fine. That the main reason, unbalanced cables normally gives you feedback
Hola buenas tardes cuales son los track de su lista qué hizo de prueba saludos desde México
Hey! please make video on "worth buying krk rokit 5 g3 in 2020"..
Sorry these speakers are for my personal use and I want be buying anymore, i do appreciate your request
Hey Steve, do you mind sharing the link to the actual playlist you were using? (not Epidemics main webpage)
Please look thru the comments, someone posted them. It was random and I didn’t write down
Hi Steve! How about the bass? How it goes? Thanks for the review!
It’s good, buy the largest size if you need more
@@TechSteve thanks a lot for your prompt answer! Regards!
Hi Steve! Which isolation pads are you using for your KRK ROKIT 5s?
$16 bucks amzn.to/3s3dIFp
These shouod be in tomorrow. Hopefully there great for mixing. I seen some mix revews.
How do you like it?
@@retafilms I think they are the way to go. Over all great monitors.
How would you rate these compared to the Yamaha HS5, and to the Focal Alpha 50, from a mixing perspective. Thanks for the detailed review.
I’ve only used these
@@TechSteve K thanks.
Thank you for the video. Can you tell me if you hear that "hissing noise" when the speaker is on, but you're not playing any music through it? I have heard conflicting things about that. Thank you kindly. Blessings!
Nope, but I used high quality everything, some people don’t understand about shielded cables and also using a quality audio interface is also a plus
@@TechSteve Thank you, Steve. Could you be so kind and send me a link to the shielded cables and audio interface you use? I am a "newbie" if you couldn't already tell. Thank you for your time. Blessings!
Watch this czcams.com/video/lPSa1npQyoE/video.html
I have a question I just bout these speakers and I hooked them up to my focusrite interface and the sound is coming out slow how do I fix
Slow? I only hooked up as seen on the video and it worked fine, contact Focusrite if you have issues with the interface
hi.. you prefer this krk, yamaha hs8, or adam 5? cause they are same price range
I purchased the KRK so that’s what I preferred
Awesome video! How are these speakers for just pure music listening (paired with KRK subwoofers)? I heard that studio monitors aren't good for music listening because they are flat sounding or whatever. What do you think?
I really like them, but if you buy a pair, you must buy an audio interface to get the most out of them.
@@TechSteve Do audio interfaces noticeably improve sound quality?
Yes, it a preamp with balanced outputs with clean XLR connections , without one expect white noise and maybe humming out of the speakers. Honestly I wouldn’t buy studio monitors without one, just get computer speakers.
@@TechSteve sir, could you suggest an adequat amp ?
Sound good even though only watching on tablet
That good to hear pete 🔊🔊🔊
I don't really get the eq function for production.but a nice addition if you want to use them to listen to music sometimes
It’s to fine tune them to your room which nobody does
@@TechSteve ah okay. Thank you. I'm still deciding between these and the hs5's from yamaha. The app sure makes it easier to tune them to the room on the rokits.
I have a Yamaha p125 digital piano. the lowest A note is 27.5 Hz. What monitors do you recommend for such a piano? what model and diameter of the woofer?
most likely need a subwoofer, cheaper to get a three way setup
Is the price for one speaker?
Would you recommend these over the Yamaha hs5s?
I haven’t listen to the Yamaha but after my personal research I thought these where a good value and i love the built in eq.
Is the app great?
First off, great video! I am considering getting the white ones but I can't find them in pairs, only sold as singles. Does that matter? Can I just purchase two singles? Not sure if they are better to purchase in pairs or if that even matters at all. Any help would be much appreciated.
I bought them in singles, I added a link in the description
@@TechSteve Thanks for the response. I used your code since you were the only person that answered my question on that so far.
👏🏼👏🏼
Are these better than the g3, purely focused on sound? I am in doubt with the g3 and g4, because of the price difference.
same .... I have RP5 G3 and I would like a sound a little more flat but in style of KRK ...... do you use them now ?
Hello, i just bought a pair of rokit 5. Can I plug it in my existing Amp/DAC setup? I'm using Fiio k5 and Topping D10.
You can always try
How do the Rokit 5 speakers compare to the Rokit 6? Do they have enough bass? thank you
If you like a lot more bass go it larger woofers.
I understand that they’re studio speakers, but can they be used for gaming? I make music n play games on my pc from time to time. I don’t want to buy two speakers for different purposes lol
Yes
Is it good for like home studio mixing, in smaller rooms??
? They are built for that purpose
hi steve
hou is listening to music on like Spotify, is it better then normal speakers.
Great
Update now that I have two of these in my studio, should I leave the eq on flat or should I tune to room acoustics from the app? I produce a range of music genres so not sure what would u suggest as a music producer
I haven’t even touch the eq, mine is flat
@@TechSteve cool thanks :)
So I really hope someone can help me complete my set up lol. I have a krk rokit 5 speaker that is plug into my Samsung monitor with 3.5 to xls cable. You may ask why I have it plug to my computer monitor? Well that monitor is a usb type c monitor that I run one cable to my mbp, which lets me output the volume to the monitor and the monitor takes it to the speaker. I love the set up with music and movies but its is so annoying have to reach behind the Samsung monitor to turn up or down the volume. I was looking into an interface but they are kinda of pricey and dont know if it well solve my problem. So the main question, if I buy an audio interface can I use it to connect my rokit and Samsung monitor to it and still be able to get audio from my mbp? If the mbp is not connected can I still be able to get sound from the monitor itself if I'm playing my Xbox(it does now since everything is connect to my Samsung monitor)?
I have a question… could I hook these up to my PS5 Monitor by any chance? THANKS MAN!!
I should the hook up options
Do I really need the sub woofer or is it a built in sub woofer with the ones in the video ?
A sub can play lower frequency but I’m fine with them
Way better then mkbhd. You have higher audio quality and deliver information way better
He’s the man… but thanks
i had the chance to compare the rp5 & rp7 at my local music store! i enjoyed to sound on both but i must say the rp7 sounded way better in definition & clarity overall its just has that extra something that makes all the difference
That’s good to know, thanks for testing
The size of your room makes a huge difference. The 7’s might sound better in an open large store, but you might come to find that the 5’s are more suited for your apartment/room. Just food for thought.
@@potatoman4life 100%
The last song of regueton what it os?
Does the Rokit 5 G4 makes a "hiss" sound when idle, i.e. without audio in signal?
I haven’t heard any, normally you want get that if you use balanced cables and a audio interface.
If compared this with Kanto Yu6, what do you think about the Sound Quality?
How would anyone know ?
@@TechSteve If you don't do comparison videos then it's fine. But, there are people who own or demo comparison with other speakers and by the way both are studio monitors. I'm surprised by the way you reacted as if I'm comparing apples with oranges.
Geez!
Can these speakers be hooked up my Scarlet Solo via TRS Cables and not XLR? I just paid 69$ for my cable lol
Yes they can, TRS to TRS is the same as TRS to XLR, they're both "balanced" audio outputs.
can you link the iso pads you have in the video? ?
Here you go amzn.to/3cB2kK9
I just bought the krk classic 5’s should I replace them or are they good? I heard a lot of people say they are the same except the gen 4 has a fancy screen in the back.
This is my 1st set, I always get the newest on the market, but you will have to research.
@@TechSteve thanks and yea I contacted zounds and they said the only difference is the gen 4 has a screen on the back.
Classic 5's are Rokit 5 Gen 3 copies which was KRK's best selling monitor while the Gen 3's were current, Gen 4 Rokits are the cost effective version of V Series 4 monitors.
Found these at guitar center for under $200 each. Should I go back for them?
Up to you
