Reviews around set (5.00 of 5)

  • Bottom Line:If your a Pro needing the best these wont be a good fit, but if you a college student looking for a good set of monitors that will help you mix your project or video go for
  • I've had my set of 3a monitors for over 5 months and love them
  • INTROFirst of all, it should be noted that although these are labeled as studio monitors and packaged as such they are clearly targeted more for the basic consumer who just wants a decent set of 2.0 speakers.
  • this set is worth every cent and the quality of sound is great for almost any size room
  • For music there are a great "reference" set, I'm listening to my mixes with new ears and really working on eq mixing and these monitors have helped tremendously

Reviews around response (5.00 of 5)

  • However, what I've found is that while mixing, these speakers actually produce extremely smooth bass response, but they make it so you have to work to get it sounding as such
  • Also, these speakers flat response isn't the best, but I also can't tell if these speaker boost any range
  • Good quality sound and great separation, good bass response, good mids and highs for the price
  • Excellent bass response and crystal clear highs make these monitors sound like a Bose radio

  • Samson makes cost effective products that anyone can afford
  • I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for some inexpensive speakers for home theater, business, computer, studio use
  • Get a better product or at least one from a company that will stand by their product if they send you a dud.

Reviews around studio (3.86 of 5)

  • These malfunctioned on me after keeping them in my clean studio for only 4 months with use 5 days a week
  • I thought "If I'm gonna spend that much money to get something that actually sounds good, I might as well get some proper studio monitors
  • Great, cost effective studio monitors for video and game professionals
  • I have a pair of more expensive studio monitors in the other room with 8" woofers (Event 20/20 Bas) which are amazing speakers, but I'm blown away with how closely these little Samson 3 inch'ers compare.

Reviews around bass (3.70 of 5)

  • I don't have any real negatives as of
  • However, what I've found is that while mixing, these speakers actually produce extremely smooth bass response, but they make it so you have to work to get it sounding as such
  • There was practically no bass at all, which is good for clarity when mixing vocals and other instruments, but doesn't give a clear representation of what the bass and lows sound like in your mix.
  • In that respect, yes, the bass would sound horrible
  • Excellent bass response and crystal clear highs make these monitors sound like a Bose radio

Reviews around range (3.44 of 5)

  • I don't have any real negatives as of
  • i was shocked at the clarity of sound as well as the dynamic range
  • Also, these speakers flat response isn't the best, but I also can't tell if these speaker boost any range
  • Both have amp and cabinet modeling (very important here) so i was very interested in how these speakers would work as they are listed as "studio monitors" and really wanted to hear the "true" direct sounds of both the Zoom and the Boss

Reviews around pair (2.82 of 5)

  • My last pair of speakers did not have tweeter protection and they got damaged that's why I bought these
  • If you have money to spend than I would recommend a more durable pair of speakers that will last you a year at least a year.
  • I liked the first pair of these I bought so much that I ordered another 2 pairs a few days later.
  • I don't have any real negatives as of
  • I have a pair of more expensive studio monitors in the other room with 8" woofers (Event 20/20 Bas) which are amazing speakers, but I'm blown away with how closely these little Samson 3 inch'ers compare.
