Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • At least now, thanks to this speaker, I am a bit more artful and science-y
  • In all, I felt this is a great unit for amateurs like myself who need decent quality but at an affordable price.
  • You can really turn up the volume and not lose the quality on both top and low ends.
  • It has beautiful sound quality that shows exactly what's in the audio track -- excellent for seeing what's in your mix as you master it.
  • There are four things that you should know about the speaker before you purchase, but let’s get the most important thing out of the way first: this thing has fantastic sound quality given the price

Reviews around studio (5.00 of 5)

  • I have been spoiled by Velodyne subs that go down to 40.There are a lot of contenders in the very affordable studio monitor market
  • Used for studio piano amplification- perfect for the job
  • It seems to meet my requirements for a decent studio monitor, while also doubling as a reference monitor to listen to other music extremely close to the original source -- in other words, as intended
  • That is the big advantage these Samson Resolv's have, or any well built active well built studio monitors for that matter, and that is they come with built in amplification and crossovers that are perfectly matched to the speakers

Reviews around spot (5.00 of 5)

  • The upper mid-range on these is very smooth and adjustable in 2 DB increments so you can find that sweet spot for your studio, and the project you are working on
  • The soft-dome tweeter meant enough dispersion so, at a distance of 8/14 feet, there was a good, wide sweet spot

Reviews around vocal (5.00 of 5)

  • - Similar rating to EDM, great beats, great vocals

Reviews around mix (5.00 of 5)

  • Doing decent mixing like that was very difficult (and I always did it poorly)
  • They are relatively high efficiency and as such they mix well at low volume levels
  • I can clearly tell I need another one, though, since monophonic mixing is not desirable

Reviews around design (5.00 of 5)

  • The cabinet is well designed, with an extremely tight seal, and exhibits zero vibration when in use
  • It is labeled "Made in China", while designed and engineering in the USA.I think this sounds incredibly accurate

Reviews around bass (3.44 of 5)

  • Only at extremely high volume settings does the bass tend to distort other sounds
  • In order to hear the best bass, you want to have the woofer facing direction at you
  • The entire frequency range is even without and exaggerated bass or highs; something that is very important for studio reference monitors
  • Dance/EDM - 5/5 - Fantastic kick bass, crisp synths, clear vocals
  • Handles deep bass well without any distortion - for example, Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" has great throbbing bass as well as glorious high ends
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for bass

Reviews around music (1.00 of 5)

  • Electronic music is bass driven and the weak front does not support bass-oriented music.
  • I was surprised how smoothly the speakers transitioned from intimate scenes to 'loud music' scenes without need to constantly adjust the volumeAudiobook / Vocal - 4/4 - Broadway solos and audiobooks also sound great, proving that this is a great speaker for vocal-rich audio and not just big beats
  • I have been using them for 3 years to compose electronic music, mostly techno, until both died for the same defect.

Reviews around eardrum (1.00 of 5)

  • If you have the sound too high, you'll blow out your eardrums before you can reach around to the back to change the volume
  • I almost blew my eardrums out when a track
