Feature:
these monitors are well equiped. gain and eq adjustments on back along with power switches. the krk symbol lights up to let you know they are on. they look nice in the studio too. i like the yellow cones on black. i do wish the powers switches were on the front but that is such a minor complaint that im not even sure why i mentioned it.

Quality:
well finished, very heavy, feels well made. i have had mine for close to 6 months now and they still sound and look great.

Value:
its possible there are better 5 inch monitors out there, but i wouldnt bother spending more money for a speaker this size. for a small/bedroom studio these have plenty of volume and bass. if you feel the need to spend more money get a bigger speaker. but these are solid monitors.

Desirability:
looks nice

Sound:
i work with a variety of music going from hip hop to indie rock. i've read a lot of reviews saying the bass response is poor on these monitors. well i disagree, as far as a 5 inch cone can go these are fantastic monitors. as with all equipment everything has its unique strengths and weaknesses and it is usually just a matter of adjusting your ear to your equipment. i have had no trouble at all adapting to the monitors. i have had fantastic results.

Ease of Use:
very easy. plug em in position them according to your room, a little eq again according to your room. thats all there is to it.

Support:
dont know, havent used it

Overall:
i dont plan on replacing these anytime soon. i have no complaints at all

Feature:
Digital input would be nice, but really its no problem, im going straight from my PC to the monitors using XLR inputs, at the end of the day, they do what you want them to do, they produce crystal clean sound!

Quality:
aesthetically i think they look great, i didn't much the first time i saw them, but they've grown on me, you can tell they're built to LAST, very tough/sturdy box, good weight

Value:
they cost a little more in Australia (I'm Australian) opposed to most places around the world ($400) so for a pair ($800) but even still, they're definitely worth every cent, im not even going to say "for the price" because it has nothing to do with it, these KRK RP5's are very good monitors, yes great value

Desirability:
hehe the sound quality is to good to resist

Sound:
im very impressed! the sound these small speakers produce is amazing, sounds much 'bigger' than they physically are, nice punchy bass (great for metal) very crisp, no annoying resonance, mids are very clear and precise, high end is nice and bright, but not to the point where it's harsh, over all sound is brilliant.

Ease of Use:
very ease to setup, functions arent difficult, a beginner wouldn't struggle to get a nice sound from these, just as long as they' sensible with the low/high frequency settings.

Support:
well, i havent had to deal with 'KRK'

Overall:
i honestly dont think ill ever need another set of studio monitors, im recording in my room, they suit the room very well, i wouldnt want any bigger, these babies really crank, without losing clarity, they're really quite amazing, you will not be disappointed 10/10

Quality:
Sound is supperior to other more expensive monitors (Yahmaha hs50)

Value:
GREAT VALUE!

Sound:
These monitors ar very good at they are supost to do. They have a very clean crisp detailed sound. What suprised me the most is the Bass and Sub sound for only a 5 inch woofer. I have these monitors, an Emu 0202 interface, an Art tube pre for my vocals, an Mxl 2003 studio condensor mic, and a Akai mpk-49 midi controller and music comes out sound profesional.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use just plug and play

Support:
never had to use it

Feature:
Came with cables thats about it,The monitors are the main thing here.Good for me.

Quality:
Heavy,very very solid build.

Value:
Bang for buck monitors fo sho!

Desirability:
very sexy...black curves,yellow aramid cones...KRK logo lights up when turned on..in a dim studio,sexy.

Sound:
If you're a singer or vocals are your thing then this is for you.have had people telling me that the bass response is so-so...for hiphop maybe but for rnb/soul its amazing. Vocals come off as clear,just a very clean warm sound.As a hiphop/Rnb music producer and a singer myself I'd recommend it to a fellow singer/producer.All about getting used to the sound of your monitors but I really do love these.

Ease of Use:
Just required me plugin it in and taking a few weeks to warm my ears to its sound.

Support:
Didn't need it.

Overall:
A 10.
