IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Mon. White Edition

I searched for small footprint, white, high-quality speakers for all-around computer use and music listening. I have now used these daily for 12 months and couldn't be happier. I think I paid the full retail price (319 EUR), which hurt a little, but now that I have used them for so long, I think they are worth it.

- Simply put, they sound so fantastic to my ear. I am not a professional producer/mixer or anything like that. I don't have a treated room; I have a pretty hard room all around with reflections all over the place. My listening volumes are low.

- I use the "desk" setting. It seems to boost mid-tones a bit and works for me well. Sometimes I shift to "flat" but have always returned to the desk setting. It's easier on the ears, so there is less fatigue while longer listening sessions.

- I do NOT use HF or LF eq. The bass and upper registers are 5/5 as is.

- They are pretty light and, therefore, relatively easy to knock down.

- Others have reported very quiet hiss/noise when no sound is played. I confirm I also have this hiss, but I do not notice it unless I put my ear 1cm in front of the speaker. I don't think it's a deal-breaker.

- Others have reported somewhat audible high-frequency noise right after speakers are turned on, lasting around 5-10 seconds. I confirm I also have this noise. I don't think it's a deal-breaker.

I would recommend these for music productions, and maybe for mixing/mastering purposes.

They are great for parties/movies as well.

The lows-end on these are great, but a little exciting.

The highs are a little harsh, but the treble is good.

I would go for these if I need to check my mix, but I wouldn't mix on these because they aren't really flat.

they are good monitors, they do cause ear fatigue because of the exciting highs and low frequencies.

They are great for their size, would be suitable for someone who likes to DJ/or makes bassy music in small rooms, but with room treatment, otherwise, it's just a DJ/loudspeaker.

Firstly it’s sounds pretty huge. There definitely some kind of black magic is involved )
Have to say I feel something unnatural at low end. But I’m not very experienced. My previous were M-audio av30, bx8, bx5.
Listened to 8” actual model of presonus before and iLoud feels same size but more pleasant. As I understand colored sound makes it pleasant.
It’s smaller than av30, but sounds awesome. For sure it’s very nearfield. Step away and you hear your room rather than clear sound.
For my experience this is incredible good monitors for its size. Clean sound. Detailed picture.
Bluetooth works nice.
White model is so nice. Even girlfriend is happy to have them on the table ))
No hum, hisses, rumble or anything.
And its size is suitable for nomads life.

Want to buy the travel bag.

Don’t like Desk setting on. Maybe because my table is totally wooden and covered with rubber mats. When it’s on I hear some mid frequencies touched up.
Also prefer to turn on low frequency attenuation when not sitting in front of them.
For my needs — listen to music and making some music this is best choice if you can afford it. Less wires on table, lean commutation.
