After much research looking for some small sized studio monitors for my bedroom I decided to go with these KH80s. I was tossing up between these and the iLoud MTM monitors, as much as I've heard the bass response from the MTMs are amazing I'm glad I went with these as they are very, very impressive! Not only are the mids and highs extremely detailed the bass is definitely there, but more controlled and punchy for such a small speaker. I have to say one of the things that blows me away is the centre imaging, it's almost scary how well these monitors present the sound. Extremely impressed.
Anyway there's already plenty of reviews out there for these so if you're on the fence about getting them, just buy them...I love them and I can already tell after the short amount of time my mixing is better for investing in them.
Five stars.

Accurate monitors
WillO 09.01.2025
I bought these about 9 months ago, so I've had time to learn them somewhat and get past the honeymoon phase. I'm a hobbyist now, but I ran a small-but-busy recording studio in the past, mostly working with local bands.
TLDR, I have nothing bad to say about these, I think they're fantastic.
I'm using them in a very small, but reasonably well-treated room in combination with the MA1 calibration system. Even without the calibration they're great, but it's a big help in my room, which has some pretty big issues with standing waves in the low and lower-mid range. I'd describe the character of the monitors as 'grey and unexciting, but not boring'.
Long story short, they're terrific. I'm very happy with my mixes and they translate well. I find the monitors accurate and unhyped, and they show me what isn't working. If something sounds 'off' through these monitors, then it's off. If it sounds good, then it probably is. For me, there's a lot less guess-work than I've had in the past. I simply mix so it sounds good on the monitor, no intellectual exercises required. Stereo imaging is great, centre imaging is great, depth-of-field is great.
I also have a single Mixcube to check mono compatibility, mid-range and transient response, but I usually don't have to make too many adjustments after working on the Neumanns. With this setup, I rarely get any surprises after I check on real-world systems (phone, laptop, earbuds, TV, clock radio, etc).
I also check the low end on Beyerdynamic DT880pros and Audio Technica ATHm50s', but I don't find too many surprises there, probably because I tend to high-pass quite a lot.
Less related to the monitors, but one unexpected benefit of my small room is that, if I stand 2m back from my mix position, the Neumann's (surprisingly) are still putting out frequencies as low as 40Hz, which gives me a ballpark idea of whether or not my hi-pass EQs are set right, especially when compared to reference mixes. It's a quirk of my room so won't apply to everyone, but it helps reveal woofiness in the low end.
I've had Yamaha HS50m's, Adam A7X's and Genelec 8030's in the past, but I prefer the Neumanns. For my purposes, I think they're all I'll ever need and I trust them 100%.

A step towards meeting sound quality.
Dia Saur 28.01.2020
These are my first monitors. I was worried that for a room with an area of 22m ^ 2 they can be "rather weak." I decided to take 80 or 120. I chose 80 with the expectation that if there is not enough power for bass, I will get a subwoofer. As a result, I can not bring them to full capacity, because there is enough power. In all senses. About the sound: sitting in front of them, it seems that something is in the way. It turns out this is open eyes, for the whole sound is already in the head. I'm getting used to it.
- The only minus is the DSP functionality, why the minus? Because only apple, iOS 10.3. (I have an old ipad with 9.3) win, android - they generally stayed away. ( .
I still really hope in this regard the manufacturer company will somehow work to adapt to other platforms of its software. I don’t really want to buy an ipad just for admission to the software.

In three words. Power. Quality. Detalisation.

Neutral sound, good directivity, no hissing
560S 11.08.2021
I use these monitors for everyday casual listening. I went through 2 pairs of monitors before these and sent both back due to hissing sound without any signal (self noise). Neumanns are one of the best in terms of self noise although if they are close in a quiet room you can still hear the slight hiss.
The sound is neutral, pleasing and not fatiguing. Directivity is good, meaning you can have more freedom in positioning relative to speakers without losing neutral sound. Due to small drivers there is no sub bass so having a subwoofer is necessary for full spectrum monitoring.
