The Yamaha HS8 is one of the most trusted studio monitors in modern music production. Used by producers, engineers and content creators worldwide, it delivers accurate and detailed sound so your mixes translate properly to cars, headphones and streaming platforms.
This is not a hi-fi speaker designed to make music sound prettier — it is designed to make music sound truthful. If something is harsh, muddy or unbalanced in your mix, the HS8 will reveal it so you can fix it before release.
Because of its extended low-end response, the HS8 allows you to properly judge kick and 808 balance without guessing, making it ideal for hip-hop, amapiano and bass-heavy music production.

Sound Character
The HS8 is known for its analytical sound signature.
It does not exaggerate bass or highs — it exposes problems, allowing you to create cleaner and more professional mixes.
Condition
The monitors are in excellent working condition and have been used carefully in a studio setup.
One speaker has a slightly pressed dust cap on the woofer.
This is purely cosmetic and does not affect sound quality, performance or reliability. The monitor plays perfectly with no distortion, rattling or imbalance.
