Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The nEar i5 is a surprisingly capable budget monitor, ideal for bedroom producers, podcasters, or anyone needing a decent reference point on a tight budget. Don't expect audiophile performance, but for the price, the balanced sound and DSP EQ make it a solid starting point for critical listening and mixing.
