KRK Rokit 5 G4 RP5G4 vs Adam Audio T5V || Sound & Frequency Response Comparison 

-> 09:50

great and on point comparison video! in my opinion, adam sounds like its better for mixing and mastering while krk is better for leisure listening

Definitely Adam Audio T5V, I have spent two months to choose between these two. Both are actually good speakers. I will give equal rating for the bass. But here I have to tell you something About the Adam audio Ribbon Tweeters. These are the best tweeters in the market for these price range. Very very clear high ends. It won’t hurt your ears. It’s smooth, nice and clear. Separation is also too good. Adam speakers are really good for mastering. Talking about the features, I think the display and the eq options on Krk was useless. It might help krk on marketing basis. But actually speaking Adam audio’s features are nice simple and clear. Highs, minds, lows everything was clear on Adam. Krk losses on highs. So I recommend Adam audio T5V.

Your videos helped me choose which monitors to buy! Thanks VM!

Here the Adam's takes the place as it gives more separation and width, and rokits also touches the lines but not as Adam's... Good luck both

To be honest I love both speakers greatly and have gotten a chance to try them both in a studio and I just cant give up the generation 4 KRK's. While the Adam speakers are very good and warm sounding, the KRK's just sound more like the original test files, and didnt over pronaounciate like some sounds in the Adams did. The KRK's sounded a bit more flat to me over a nice pair of headphones. While I would definitly choose Adam for my bedroom or living room (outside of the studio), I would go KRK inside the studio becaues of the more flat sound profile. Also, the KRK's include room tuning software and an integrated 25 option dsp standard, which can make them sound just like Adam, and sometimes even better. I think the Adams are best for primarly rock, coffe house, accoustic and vocals, but if your producing heavy bass music or EDM/pop, go KRK.

Thanks for this comparison, it was really helpful! I had both of them standing here for testing purposes and I have to say that the Adam t5v sounding much more natural and less strenuous. The krk rp5 g4 had a bit too phoney highs. Therefor a little more audible bass (but not better). The Adam, on the other hand, don't sound pressed. After a longer session with the krk's, it felt like my ears are getting pressed more and more. Like listen to a over compressed bad mastered song! So I kept the Adam t5v for two reasons. The more natural sound and longer sessions without feeling that my ears are getting pressed. I really intended to keep the krk's as I had read so many positive things about it. I didn't even care about the laughing Minion design, if the sound was right. But the Adam absolutely convinced me. Honestly I am happy about it, because now I can look at such fancy monitors that inspire me while making music than to stare at two yellow laughing one-eyed minions.

I made the KRK choice due to the better bass and middle range. The Adams are also good but in the end it was the new KRK Audio Tool App that gave me the final decision. This App is fantastic for giving the best settings for your room without having to invest too much in acoustic treatment.

Would you be able to test this passive speakers SP-EXAK1 (JVC wood cone), and compare to some near field monitors?

You can tweak the rockets so much tho you can probably make them sound close to the same

Sweetwater said Rokit 5’s were on back order for two months, and suggested the Adam T5v as an alternative. After hearing this, i do hear more mid clarity in the Adams, and the rokits seem slightlyyyyy muddier in the low mid to low range than the adams. I feel like I made the right choice, and cant wait for them to come.❤️

Looking forward to see a test for T5V vs Enotiva B1+ head to head test. Despite price difference, they have similar look and tweeters. Should be an interesting test.

I bought the Adams’ to go with my Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 and I can tell you this much… my guitar flat rocks!!! Keep Loud❤

hey great channel! I would love to see "Mackie MR624" VS "Kali Audio LP6" or "Alesis M1 Active Mk3" VS "Mk2" or a combination of any of the ones i just mentioned.

I'm about to buy monitors and my mind was set on the Adam T5V, but I will have to have them close to the wall behind so I need a bassport in the front. Can't afford the Adam A5X so it looks like I'm getting the KRK Rokit RP5 G4..... It is quite similar in sound to the T5V.

I just bought a pair of Adam T5V's and a T10S sub-partly based on this video. However, it was a close call between the KRK's and the Adam's. I liked "some" of the clarity with the KRK's, but I didn't like the harshness. Conversely, I preferred the warmth of the Adam's; but I am a bit concerned about them being too darkly colored in tone at times. Frankly, I preferred the "Original" tracks on almost all the samples to either monitor. How was that recorded and through what?

I'm getting the KRK speakers as they are for sale here in nz , cheaper price and I've seen many great producers using them , although if the Adam audio where for sale here in New Zealand and slightly cheaper price i would definitely get them.

Got the Adam T5v but im still struggling on if I should go to the KRK instead, what will you guys suggest for edm production? The adam T5v have nice mid and treble but the KRK feels like a whole? TBH if I have money ill go for both but what if its comes to the best pair to keep for music production?

I have a really cramped setup, not very good acoustics, will the front front ported krk's be better for me than the rear ported adams?

I have the Rokit 5 G4s & the Adam a5x. Here are my opinions for anyone looking to buy either of these (I know these are the T5V but are comparable) First, both of these speakers sound fantastic and depending on where you place them, you'll be happy with the sound they produce. That being said the Adams sound fuller and more complete. Ive seen a lot of comments of the Rokits 5 G4s having more/better bass but that is definitely not the case with me. Moreover, you can always tweak the equalizer for more bass. In addition, the KRK app is simply a free tool that can be used to room treat any speakers. Build quality is great on both. Hiss is close to nonexistent on both but this would depend on your setup. Low end goes again to Adam. Bass sounds cleaner and more dynamic. Overall, both of these will produce amazing sound. But side by side, test after test, if I had to pick one, I'd go with Adams. P.S. I use these for video editing and home DJ'ing. Simply amazing.

The Adam win just for the "full speed " demo. In the electronic "Deep" demo the Adam falling and KRK wins . "Retro wave" demo i can't hear the mid on the adam , KRK win.

The rokits in my opinion, have a nice balance between all the test.

This has made things very difficult for me, as about to buy some studio monitors. Imo, the Adams SOUND the best having fab details in the highs and generally not sounding murky this end. However, I feel that the krk's are in general the closest to the reference. How much all of this would change listening to this review via different sources/speakers is just a further nightmare lol. So sadly I'm going to get the rokkits for my home studio as seems would be best for mastering, but would pick the Adam for listening /enjoying music. You can never have it all! Also prefer the idea of having bass port on front of rokkits from how most will setup monitors at home anyway.

God Loves you mate!

Krks are good. The company did their homework on this monitor. Are you having any plans for reviewing the JbL 104 vs Presonus Eris E3.5?

Hello Which of these three brands do you recommend for mixing and mastering and setting songs? Yamaha HS8 KRK Rocket 8 G4 Adam T7V

Hi! In a few days I will have the opportunity to buy Adam t5v / t7v or Presonus Eris E4.5 / E5. Which ones would you choose? Should I get KRK Rokit 5 G4 RP5G4 or LP6 / LP8 instead? I will use them purely for listening and enjoying music. Or should I skip monitors and go for something else? All opinions are welcome. Thank you in advance!

I was considering to buy Adams but after this comparison I clearly understand that they don’t have definition at mids 350hz-500hz at all. It’s a more hifi profil of sound. Not suitable for mixing..!

KRK Rokit Gen 5 are out now - new comparison please?

oops ..... in all video's for me the T5V was too much high frequencies .... I come here to check the RP5 G4, very flat in other videos, and here for me the T5V is more flat and more close to the source ..... why ?! lol

Creo que los adam agregan mas medios brillos que los krk por lo que pareciesen sonar menos encajonados. asi que el krk es mas fiel

although the Adams seem to sound better because of the high in boost in them going back and forth through the reference tracks the KRKs seem to match the original audio a lot closer.

What you can see from the frequency response is: you‘ve measured the same room twice.

T5V vs AYRA PRO5?

I went for my local music store for the KRKs. But Had the chance to compare it with the Adams. The sound difference was huge. After A/B testing in various songs and styles I decided very easily to go with the Adams. Everything just sounded way out there, instruments in the mix were much more definitive, bass was fuller and more rich and the music in total more "alive".

Adam win's IMO, the Adams ribbon tweeter is the deciding factor. Both Speakers are very good. I would purchase the T5V.

I definitely lean on Adam's t5v,

It seems that the KRK guys decided that for the Rockits series the mids became important too. Don’t know if the fans of rave and drum & bass will be satisfied :) As always, thanks, Michal !

Highs are definitely crisper on the Adams, low end is about the same feeling a little tighter on the KRK's

I feel KRK has little boomy bass Adam has deep bass with more clarity highs ? Any opinion please

tested several to arrive, to choose the Adam Audio T5V for the quality of its high sound

I was expecting the Adam to be substancially better at the high frequencies but something seems wrong, like the cross-over not working as expected, some strange artifacts on the mid/highs

KRK for me, but i need to check and visit my local music store before purchase. Adam is to bright for me. Listening on Sennheiser HD380pro

Original : 3:22 Adam : 3:13 KRK: 3:08

KRK Rokit 5 G4 RP5G4 - 8 vs Adam Audio T5V - 9

Adam for the win, when the Rocktrack shows up

Adams have a slightly more boosted low end but I think the lows on the KRKs are cleaner. Other than that they're pretty damn close.

The krk pot is on the front while Adams is at the back.. They will never sound the same.. I'm getting my rokit 5 g4 next week ✌️✌️.

I can never bring myself to get any KRK's bc of that yellow sub. Aesthetics is important to me and yellow won't go with anything in my home studio

it's just a clear win for adam t5v from bass to high frequencies. Some might say that krk has more "monitoring sound" but it lacks dynamics too much. But I can agree that adam is quite bright and exciting to be a perfect studio monitor. So just get genelecs or dynaudios. period lol. btw, thanks for all your great videos that you help so many ppl in all over the countries to decide perfect speakers that suits their needs.

hard to make heads or tails. The lack of bottom end colours the midrange. I would prefer a test with a sub. Yea i know its one for one, but lets be honest here, the bottom end is lacking and pushing those small woofers will colour the mid range with modulation issues. Top end is ADAM territory. I have rokit5s now and i am seriously questioning what i am hearing in the mid range and bottom end. I will be getting a sub before i decide to turf or not. I think its not doing either of these speakers a service without a sub. As this test stands, i wouldnt buy either.

Vs dynaudio lyd please

Very close for all the elctronic stuff as you can see there nearly no big difference in the low end. What I don't like on the KRKs is, that they are losing between 2k and 3k, which you can hear especially on the snare sounds. When it comes to high mid and higher frequencies, the T5V definitely sounds more flat. I can hear that on the tracks with more voice in it. On the other hand it is a bit of a disadvantage in the track "Heart Afire", cause the voice is produced really on the edge in the high end frequencies, so that the T5V struggles a bit in my opinion. But both are good speakers in their price range.

The T5v sound much crispier and clear on the mid-high frequencies to me, BUT, my ears like the Rokit 5 better, can't help it

damn! this one's hard! lol

FULL SPEED 2:47 ORIGINAL 2:53 ADAM 3:01 KRK 3:11 ADAM 3:19 ORIGINAL 3:25 KRK 3:34 ADAM 3:43 KRK

just had the new Rokits and just bought the Adans audio! I have to say Adams Audio definitely did their thing! the sound quality is crazy and so much more crisp than the Rokits, also wayyyy to much bass on the ROKITS its super hard to get a good mix or actually hear what's going on

Every graph of every monitor tested in this room is more similar than different. We are hearing more of the room's imperfections and poor acoustic treatment than the difference between speakers. The graphs are saying there's a 15 db difference between response at 85 Hz vs 120 Hz? Not even $200 monitors are that bad. Also, KRKs still have no definition in the mids.

Adams for sure

Listening through a pair of neumann KH 120, the Adams sound better. They also have a stealth streamlined look that blends with the environment. The KRK's sound good, but the yellow woofer and tweeter and the KRK logo that lights up kills everything. KRK needs to desperately do something about their style and design. Did I mention how annoying the light is?

Close but... Adams👍😉

Damn I can’t choose one. T5v has an honest high range, but rokit is way better to create sparkling vocals and slappy drums. Rp5 has too fat low-mid and t5v is very dry so adams are better for low-end. I don’t even know what to choose.

The Adam T series just like their F series have always been tuned to be more hi-fi sounding, very V shaped with higher frequencies overpowering everything else, not suitable for mixing or mastering.

The Adams made good expensive monitors, but this line is just a cheap Chinese option for the entry level. I find KRK more interesting.

Adams for me

aun no vi el video, pero viendo la portada, los adams tienen un iman mas grande asi que seguramnente mejores grabes y tiene un tweeter de los mas buenos... aunque, el krk tiene la toma de aire adelante como debe ser, el adam seg8ramente la tiene atras por que ahi no se ve, lo que dependiendo de la acustica de la pared y la distancia va a cambiar el sonido

very close to each other , i think adams height changes a bit the result

KRK !

T5V - "clearly" better !!!

adam and then some eq on the low to boost it. way better than krk trust me

Adam is less wide than krk but resolution and vertical is better

adam is definitely better

KRKs sound a bit damp in the mids, but with more bass. They lose against the adams in the highs.

Adam play not in the same league, absolute nothing speak for this Adam Speaker. Please i need your KRK vs Presonus and vs Kali! Love this Channel

155 / 5 000 Resultados da tradução Resultado de tradução In the beginning I only bought the krk 5 and @ low sound power the bass was poor (more than 8 hours a day I can't always listen to it on load), than i bought the krk S8.4, released the basses on the rokit 5, and adjust the crossover of S8.4 to max, and voilá !! what a blast !!

esta didifcil,parece que los adan tienen mas adelantados los medios y los krk mejor nivelador los agudos

Both are too bright compared to the original track..krk has more mids than adams. Adams sound too hi fi V shaped eq...not a very good thing for a studio monitor. Thanks for this great video.

KRK

KRK is a little more balanced and fuller. Adam is a little more analytical. Both are high quality monitors no question, but I still find them analytical focusing on details and clarity. I'd prefer the JBL 305p which may not have the soundstage of these but offer a fuller sound.

Boy 3 minutes in they both suck. Boosting highs and losing the low mids. I have KRK 5 gen 4 but want the Adams. It's more likely your mike is not picking up those frequencies so BOTH speakers sound off. The one thing I take away from this though is how similar they are. I got to hear them in a room with Yamaha, JBL and M-Audio reference speakers and the T5V sounded the best to me. But that doesn't mean they are the flattest. Only they are superb for listening.

Rockets bass is superior sorry. KRK FOR ME!

adams add too much brightness that shouldn't be there. need to be revealing, not grating on mixes that were recorded with too much highs. krk's need a grille on that tweeter.

Krk5 g4

Uuf eso no se compara los Adam t5v Beats

rokit win

adam win

Bonjour, j'ai commandé sur AMAZON le presonus ERIS 5 XT, KRK 5 G4 et ADAM T5V. Le ERIS a des aigus présent, des médiums timides et des basses encore plus présente et pas très propres je dirais. Le KRK sonne réellement propre dans l'ensemble, je dirais peut être juste des médiums un peu colorés. Le ADAM..les aiguë sont limpide, les mediums magnifique, et les basses propre et très profonde dans les très basses pour un 5 pouces.

Adam Audio WIN

Adam suena mas limpio

Amam get more high, krk win!

Your microphone is shite :D When listening to this on the T5V, the original sounds way different than the recorded sound of the T5V

Rokit accentuates low mid and is not natural

Se escucha mejor el track original sin monitores ,no gasten su plata...

Do not buy the Adam Audio T5Vs, they brake easily, my second monitor just literally popped after 2 years, a sht product. DO NOT BUY!!!. Buy KALI LP6s instead much better monitors.

Musik is real bullshit.
