How we ranked these studio monitors
Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.
- Woofer size weight 3
- Power weight 2
- Low-frequency reach (Hz) weight 2
- Bluetooth weight 1
Buying advice: studio monitor speakers with bluetooth
Woofer size and power
A woofer handles the low end, and its size is given in inches: the two Edifier pairs use 4-inch woofers, while the KRK and Mackie pairs use 3.5-inch woofers. Power is given in watts: the R1700BTs gives 66 W, the Mackie gives 50 W and the R1280DB gives 42 W. Compare the KRK on woofer size and inputs. Compare watts and woofer size alongside inputs and features.
Bluetooth and wired inputs
Bluetooth lets a pair play audio from a phone, tablet or laptop without a cable: all four pairs here include Bluetooth. A subwoofer output, on the R1700BTs, lets a separate subwoofer connect. Check each pair's own input list against the devices you already own.
Weight, warranty and the box
Weight decides how easily a pair moves: the Mackie pair weighs 6.6 lb, the R1280DB weighs 10.8 lb, the KRK pair weighs 12 lb and the R1700BTs weighs 14.6 lb. Warranties differ too: the KRK carries a 3-year warranty, the R1700BTs a 2-year warranty and the Mackie a 1-year warranty. Check what comes in the box: the Mackie box holds both monitors, isolation pads and all cables, while the R1700BTs remote and the R1280DB remote control volume and inputs. Compare weight, warranty and box contents before choosing.
