My 65's are the best monitors I've ever heard in this price range. Thanks for the great EVO review! The mounting holes are a much needed upgrade IMO.

Have had the Focal Evo 65 for 5 months now and review is spot on. Good stuff dude! I do not miss my Yamaha HS8's at all.
@eberhwang23
@eberhwang23 2 года назад
Couple reasons especially now that ive had the evos for a year now. The technology on the HS8s are ancient now. The sound was so flat that after a while I realized even pairing with a sub there was no pleasure listening to them. So i decided to treat my ears to something new and tested out as much as possible within the $1000 price range for a pair if monitors. During that time I went to Guitar Center and listened to Kali, JBL, KRK Rokits, Adam, M-Audio, etc. Ended up getting a pair of Adam T7V which were really nice for the price. Sound was pretty stellar too, but lacking in volume and power. But blew the Yamahas away. But I was missing the low end and being able to play them loud enough without them distorting. So I decided to go with Focal EVOs since the old ones were highly regarded. While they do have a slight hiss due to the Class D amp. These things sound night and day better then the Yamahas and gave me the satisfaction of the low end and power missing from the T7V. They also have a much larger sweet spot then the T7V and Yamahas and they almost sound like tradition speakers in that sense. They sound even better when you break them in. Btw I’m not a producer or engineer. I use them for DJing and recording my sessions and I have zero regrets. Hope that helps you make your decision.

Just a quick tip, stop zooming in using them lens and turn off the Auto focus for product shots. If you want a zoom effect just keyframe it and punch in digitally, it'll be much smoother and the lens focus breathing will not be so distracting (shoot 4k if you can for that). And the autofocus not pulsing back and forth will make for better product shots. Also you should switch to slow motion, at least 60fps for product shots. If you can I would also try and turn down the ambient light to make the product pop more. Keep up the content bro!

I just auditioned the evo 80 and was impressed by the wide sweet spot. They are definitely detailed up top and balanced on the bass with enough punch to give a good reference without sub. Has anyone noticed some low mid absence? I’m wondering if anyone has gotten feedback from mastering houses on mix adjustment needs?

I hear no noise sitting within a little over an arms reach, they're fantastic for listening and should be great for movies, obviously not going to be a 5.1 surround sound system but they're by far my favorite monitor for such things

I have the hs5 with the hs8s sub. Curious if it’s not worth changing over to the Focals. The combo are more that what someone would pay for the Focals. I remember listening to an older pair of Focals before and I have not been able to recreate the experience those gave me.

@DanzoSrife Год назад
I've auditioned to both for long enough sessions in control rooms. The thing with the Yamaha's is that they are exaggerated in the area that is most fatiguing, instead of flat. Yea u can eq it but the thing is that Focal's had more details that I didn't hear without being fatiguing in the first place. However, if u want a real upgrade u can save up for the Focal Shape 65 used pair and then there won't be a question of what or why. (sick detail).

Do you think tha if you were to turn the low filter all the way up on the 50s, it would sound similar to the 65 in flat? and another question,.. do you know if these speakers are at full volume all the time as there is no way of knowing how high they are turned up... and is that a good thing if they are on full all the time.. wouldnt that need more power.. might be why they have the standby option..I cant find that info anywhere ad to why they dont have a volume pot

No way will the HS5s ever sound as good as the Focals, I'd imagine Focal set the volume to the best level they felt possible, no clue as far as if they're set to the max possible but they sound amazing as is

Hi Jacob, could you help me with this, would massively appreciate it.

Given these facts, should I consider the Alpha 50s or the Alpha 65s. I am keen on the extra grunt offered by the 65s but I’m not sure my room will support them. Also, demoing is not really an option where I live. Any advice? Thanks for the review!
