"WOW"
Overall, if you have 500 to spend on a pair of monitors, and are looking for the best bang for the buck, get these. I admit it, they arent short of the mackie's by much. At the same time, compared to the Yamaha m80's.....that's a different story. Those are so detailed that you can hear a spider fart in a corner. But i didn't have the extra 200 bucks to spend, nor do i care. I love these rp-8's, and hopefully they will last for a long time. HIGHLY recommended.
Sound
Smooth, sweet, right on it. These monitors are pleasing to the ear. No listening fatigue, no overpronounced frequencies. Right on the money. Sure, the Yamaha M80's, and Mack 824's, are better, but they cost a hell of a lot more. I am 100% happy with the rp-8
Features
Nice high frequency adjustment on the back. No bass adjustment, but you shouldnt be EQing monitors....that defeats their whole purpose.
Quality
I love the look of these. Super high quality casing. They are built link tanks- and wiegh a hell of a lot.
Value
Nothing for this price is better. Trust me.

Yeah, for the money I think this could be one of your best buys. I have had mixing time on Alesis M1's, and so far, these at least match them in flatness. Only had them for a day, but already did a seesion on them and was amazed. Very cool looking, unique rectangular bass port, and the High Frequency knob in the back will come in nice and handy! RCA (Unbalanced), XLR (Balanced), and 1/4in. (Balanced) inputs makes it very flexible. If you want an awesomely flat sound, and true imaging from your monitors, Rokit8s give a huge bang your your buck. Really couldn't be happier!

"Less than $1000 for monitors? Look no further!"
I will be using these monitors for a long time. I am very pleased.
Sound
Pretty amazing...even at higher volumes. I just picked these monitors up after reading all of the rave reviews and then (of course) testing them out at a local store. I have been mixing on some pretty cheap monitors and after re-doing a few mixes today through these things...WOW!!! There is a BIG difference in the overall quality of my mixes. These things are exceptionally flat and, overall, very detailed. Granted, I have only been working on the RP-8's for a total of 6 hours but the RP-8's are impressive, especially for the price.
Features
Anything you would really need. A power switch on the front would have been a nice addition but I'm not complaining. It is pretty effortless to reach around to the back and flip a switch. Came with a pretty sweet power cable and a high quality cardboard box too!
Ease of Use
Plug it in and enjoy
Quality
I can't be absolutely certain on this because I just purchased them today. As long as they hold up well, they are a definite 10. The Cabinet is seamless and the finish seems solid and attractive. They definitely seem to built like tanks.
Value
I challenge you to find a better monitor for the price.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with them
The Wow Factor
Seamless cabinet, wide port at the bottom, nice finish and, of course, the awesome yellow driver. The only thing that I don't particularly care for appearance-wise is the Rokit8 logo that is tacky on its own without having the power LED behind it. That isn't bad though. It is a great looking monitor and if a little logo is the best thing to complain about in a monitor, then I would call it a huge success.

"What a bargain!"
Verified Customer

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I am always looking for good products at a good price. I would say that I will keep these until they break because I always use multiple speakers for my mastering.
Sound
I use these in my studio for recording, mixing and mastering (although I also use some high-end consumer speakers for A/B happy medium mastering). These speakers are excellent in accuracy for the money. I do augment them with the 10" sub to ensure that I am getting the entire spectrum when mixing and mastering, though. They have very good imaging capabilities and work well for multiple types of genres. I have them sitting on isolation stands and they sound tight and have no noticeable resonance. The amplifiers used have good power with good headroom. They do generate a bit of noise that's noticeable to only the most trained and close-up ear (negligible to the every day consumer). They have a very good directional focus as should all monitors within a well designed control room.
Features
There is quite a few options in terms of how the speakers are fed from a source. The subwoofer (YOU NEED TO GET IT) has a crossover amp that shelves the lower frequencies from what is fed to these speakers in a continuous connection (from your mixer to the sub that then sends to the speakers). I would have given a 10 if they would have included an automated room analyzer microphone within the package (but I'm sure that would have pushed the cost too high).
Ease of Use
I have the speakers and sub all tied to my console power strip, so I don't need a front power switch like many folks would complain about. They are easy to hook up and easy to use and also respond well to eq control from the board.
Quality
For this price, it's VERY HARD TO BEAT what KRK has done here. Nothing seems flimsy on these speakers and they disburse tight and punchy when needed.
Value
The value is excellent for the price.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them...so I can only assume the support is great since they probably don't receive many calls.
The Wow Factor
The speakers certainly make a statement. While my initial visual view of the product was "how cheesy!" regarding the yellow cone...but once you hear these, you'll realize that you can "acquire" an affection for the color, yellow. Eh, it's better than black.

"In my opinion,hands down,the most accurate monitor you will find at this price point,making it a tremendous value.An atomic bang"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I will have these monitors as long as they hold up and if I had to replace them,I would do so if the price is right,but I would prefer the special edition color that KRK had come out with,some time ago.
Sound
Based my my experiences,the RP8's are the most perfectly balanced monitors out there for $400.Sonically,thier very punchy & detailed at this price point-very impressive.
I've only had these monitors for a day,but after having run all types of audio through it,such as my Zoom 8HD,commercial cd's and my Korg Triton Extreme,I get the distinct impression that mixing & mastering on the RP8's will be a breeze an a utter joy!
Features
At this price point,the only feature I am not happy with,is the painfully loud yellow color of the woofers,but apart from that,it's a very nice looking cabinet & baffle.
Ease of Use
These monitors blended very well into my treated,13'X 10' room.The HF adjustment is in the flat position,so it was just plug & play right out of the gate.
Quality
It's feels & appears to be sturdy,but down the road,only time will tell...
Since these monitors have no mesh grilles over the drivers & the cabinet is fiberboard,I would not reccomend it outside of the studio,unless you tansport them with the original boxes.
Value
Yes.
Manufacturer Support
In the past,I've had good contact with them.
The Wow Factor
If it were'nt for the yellow woofer,I would have given the appearance a top rating...unless you have yellow walls with a carribean motif in your home,these monitors will clash harshly in a typical studio enviroment.
A nuetral color for the LF driver,such as aluminum or any shade of gray would have been ideal,in my opinion.

"Can it really get any better?"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I will keep this for as long as they keep on working. I really needed chrystal clear sound to help with sound designing and mixing. and these have done everything I could ever want out of a pair of monitors. I love these monitors, and I'll never go back to a regular pair of speakers again.
Sound
These monitors sound awesome. Its got smooth, deep lows; full pronounced mids; and bright highs. My friend has a pair of Mackie HR824's and you can't tell a difference between those and my KRK's.
I am sure there are better sounding monitors, there has to be, but for the price, you can't beat these. They really make beautiful, clear sounds.
Features
These aren't loaded with features, but the high frequency adjustment knob is pretty nice. A power switch on the front would make it a bit easier to turn them off and on, but it's no big deal. You don't really need anything else. And my four year, no questions asked warranty is very nice.
Ease of Use
Very simple to use, just plug them in, turn them on, and start making some sounds.
Quality
Everything seems very sturdy and of high quality, from the metal cabinet to the glass-aramid composit woofer. Definitely can't beat they're quality for the price. Seems just as high quality as monitors twice their price.
Value
These ARE the best monitors you can buy for the price. If you're on a limited budget, but still looking to get a pair of good, clear sounding monitors, you have to get these.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't needed they're support yet.
The Wow Factor
They just look awesome. The yellow woofer looks a lot better in person than I thought it would be. And again, the price just makes it a whole lot better, especially when you can compare them with a pair of Mackie HR824's.

"Pretty good, good for bassy music as dance - hip-hop."
I think I am going for the VXT's, since my hearing and skills have improved a lot. Time to climb up the stairs.
Sound
Good, detailed. Bass extends well up to 60 hz, no 140 as someone said. Pretty good for catching bass fights, I must say. Detailed highs. Midrangey, but thats what a monitor should do, be a magnifying glass. As with any $100 to $10000 monitors, you have got to know their sound. Several hours of listening are needed to become intimate with them. Someone said these ain't good for hip-hop or dance music. Not true. Its my business (dance music). I am good at it.
Features
All switches and stuff you need. would like an on-off switch on front... Going to the back I dont like.

"AWESOME!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Will keep until I blow them or my kids punch holes in them.
Sound
SOund is very clean and very balanced. I had Roland DS-90As for 3 days in my small studi and they sounded great, but one of the tweets was distorting on certain frequencies, so I returned them (used from a pawn shop). I got these as replacements. Slightly less bass, but it is true bass, not colored. I tested a burn to CD of some stuff and they proved very accurate.
Features
Would have liked a low frequency control like on the DS-90As, but it does at least have a high control.
Ease of Use
Plug it in and go.
Quality
Like everyone else has said. Like a tank. Nice rounded corners and no covering to peel off the wood at the corners like most monitors. It is like a solid block of polished granite. No seems anywhere.

"Best speakers for a budget!"
A couple drawbacks... but overall, I love these monitors. I HIGHLY reccommend them anyone who cant afford a pair of Genelecs ;-)
Sound
For the price, this monitor is phenominal. The lows are tight and accurate, the highs are crisp and clean.
The imaging provided enables me to hear everything in recordings... the crazy reverb on John Mayer's voice... the strange pan on the clav in the start of Superstition... the deep bass of Maxwell's Ascension.
Great great great monitors.
Features
The controls on the back for gain and high boost/cut are useful, but I think they could've included a few more controls... like crossover adjustments.

"IT´S ALL ABOUT EAR…"
I'm expecting to have these monitors until I develop my audio skills and my ear demands me more.
Sound
The sound quality is very good for the price. The tweeter reproduces clean crispy highs, too analytical, but it's quite useful for the purpose. On the other hand the woofer is not so dynamic and rebelling as in more expensive studio monitors, is accentuated in the midbass region making the final output a bite boomy, anyhow it does a fine "ballsy" job if you know what I mean. The tonal balance is highly regarded, reaching exceptionally precise mixes with sound full of body, depth and articulation.
Features
The speaker is very useful for producing because of it's several inputs, which puts up a very versatile tool for any kind of monitoring.
Ease of Use
Very simple to use, it could benefit from a front on/off switch.
Quality
I experienced a few quality problems with my first two pieces, but a replacement did it for me. The truth is that I did not want the money back because I had already heard them in action so the retailer gave me another pair.

"Perfect economical monitors"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Because I'll have to buy an additional sub, the loose cable fittings, and no auto-on/off, I give it a 9. If I ever replaced these, I'd take the plunge and pour mucho dinero into some high-end mackies or events.
Sound
There are better monitors out there, but they're over twice as much. Highs are very articulate and crisp. Mids are well defined and a bit more pronounced than most other monitors I demoed. You will most likely need to use a sub with these though. The 8" woofers do a great job for the low midrange but start losing volume at about 170hz and all but die at about 140hz. You can still hear it but it's very faint.
Features
High frequency adjust knob, volume knob, power switch. I wish these had an auto on/off feature like the V-series 2. And maybe a few more room adjustment controls other than HF.
Ease of Use
Plug in, determine your appropriate HF adjust, and you're ready to go.
Quality
The XLR input and power cord input do not fit snugly to cables. Maybe this was intended so an accident wouldn't topple your monitors.
Value
This sound for that price is a great deal.
Manufacturer Support
Can't think of any question the manual can't answer.

KRK RP8 Rokit Monitors Customer Review
Sound
The Right Honorable Anonymous Musician from NJ on Dec 3, 2007 seemed bent on bashing these and among the things he alleged was this: "I've examined the internals, and the amp uses an EI transformer instead of the more common and higher quality toroided these by saying."
Don't know how much he knows about transformers, but this gentleman seems to know a good deal and apparently interviewed a number of high end speaker engineers and concluded that EI-frame transformers can be superior and are in most cases over toroidal transformers, despite the common use of them even in "high end" speakers. The link is here:
http://www.soundstage.com/maxdb/maxdb071998.htm
I just bought mine and they are being shipped, so we shall see :-) I just sensed an unfair bashing and it seems to go against the experts, at least on the transformer issue.

"You can do better...though they are inexpensive."
I hoped for more, but got what I paid for instead.
Sound
I had hoped for good things frmo these after reading all of the reviews. Maybe too many people jsut haven't heard live music before. These sound tubby and recessed. Unfortunately, when you place the treble slector in the +1dB spot, they begin to sound harsh. One sounds better than the other though, and its apparent that there are quality control issues. One cabinet resonates terribly, while the other is solid when you knock on the side. I opened it up to check on the inside, and they don't even use toroidal transformers on the amp section like M-Audio does, they use cheap Els instead. I guess you get what you pay for, I knew the price was too good to be true, made in China...
Quality
As stated in the Sound section, they resonate and sound tubby. I have them at least 2 ft from side walls, and 2 ft from the rear wall, and then 3 ft from me with 4 ft between them. Ears sit between mid and tweeter.

Yuo can do better, probably with Alesis or M-Audio.

KRK RP8 Rokit Monitors Customer Review
Sound
compared to my old Tannoy eclipse, mid's are sounding a bit agressive but that's a matter of taste. These speakers are fine for mixing and these mixes translate well to other systems. I also A/B-ed the RP8's to other active speakers in the musicstore.
Samson resolve 80's: forget these! (poor mids),Tannoy reveals active: nice mids & overpronounced bass (100hz), Mackie 624's: fine speakers (sound&looks)but twice the pricetag, Genelec 1031A's: excellent but hey, 5 times the pricetag!

Hey I just bought these monitors to replace the M-Audio BX5's and these things KICK A**! They are very flat, which is obviously crucial for a great quality mix. For the price, you absolutely can't beat the value! The Event TR8's and the M-Audio BX8's defenitely hit harder for the bass, but if you are looking for a truer sound for your mix, get the KRK's.
