Very impressive balanced frequency response through the highs down to the mid bass. The waveguide is really quite excellent providing a large sweet spot. If you are looking for a inexpensive good monitor on a tight budget then these are really Hard to beat anywhere near this price point.

Most of my work is done on in proper studios with JBL M2s and B&W Diamond series monitors. The 305s obviously do not compare. However, they stand head and shoulders above anything else I've heard in the price range. I needed something to keep mixing on at home and the JBL 305P Mkii were the perfect fit. I own 3 for checking LCR mixes at home. A huge number of my ultra-geeky audio friends have 305s or 308s because they get the job done! If you can afford Genelec 8030s (another 5" monitor) then go for it. If your room can handle a bigger monitor then go for it. If you need a cheap, small and great sounding speaker, this fits the bill.

Let's start by clearing any biases etc. Usually when buying your first pair of studio monitors, you will hear a love it or hate it review for any model. If you hate it, people on forums will usually say you set them up wrong or that your room sucks. If you're through the roof with excitement over $200 speakers, it's probably because you upgraded from computer speakers or have no idea what great monitors sound like. I myself happily owned a pair of quality JBL LSR2328's for nearly 4 years. These speakers were amazingly clear and well balanced. The only reason I sold these is because even after acoustic treatment, my room is just too small for the 8" speakers. I thought moving into another set of JBL monitors with smaller speakers would be a good bet to keep some familiarity but boy was I wrong. These speakers are horrible. Lack of low end under 75-80hz is expectable for small speakers, but it seems like in it's place there's a swamp of terribly unclear lo-mid range response. On top of that, the mids are boxy and cloudy, the high end isn't overhyped but these speakers are so unclear and poorly balanced that I can't even focus on the high end. They remind me of computer speakers honestly, JBL definitely tried to make these look good to hide the fact that they're cheap and low quality monitors. Features are standard as you'd expect from the wide range of monitors available in today's market, that is the only good thing I can say about them. Save your money, buy a better pair of monitors.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
