It's been four years since I posted my original review video for the M-Audio BX5 Studio Monitors, and I wanted to do this more in-depth review of them. The chapter markers are listed below. If you just want to hear how these speakers sound, click the chapter you are interested in. There's also some A/B samples where you get to hear the recording of these speakers back to back compared to the original source file. Aside from missing the low frequencies, I personally think they sound very similar to the original tracks.

Enjoy!
