Pros & Cons
Pros
These monitors hold up to that kind of * very well. It's worth the hassle of sending back if you don't like them. Its such a good studio monitor for the pice.
Cables make up a really big part of the overall setup for mixing monitors. These are sooooo much better than mixing with headphones. I have yamaha monitor headphone, yamaha keyboard, yamaha mg82cx.
They have white midrange cones and a softly glowing white illuminated logo. What sets this apart is their iconic white woofer cone set against black speaker cabinet.

I would compare these favorably to powered monitors of similar price ranges
I find these speakers offer a clearer sound quality than my mackie or krk of similar price range
Then i came across these hs5 which is the latest version to yamahas infamous hs50

However the product photos feature a pair of speakers but what you buy is a single speaker so be careful when placing your order
