Shop by group
Home studio / under 15M VND
Entry nearfield for small rooms, podcasts, home mixing, or accurate music listening around a 10M VND budget. Pair with an interface or DAC.
Hi-fi all-in-one (streaming)
Studio monitors with built-in DAC and streaming: listen without a separate streamer/DAC while keeping a monitor-like accurate tone.
Genelec nearfield
Studio-grade nearfield from ultra-compact monitors to medium control rooms. Aluminum enclosure, Iso-Pod, XLR inputs.
Genelec large room / high SPL
When the room or control room needs more headroom and bass than desk nearfield. Best in rooms with basic acoustic treatment.
Barefoot Sound Footprint
Reference monitors for mix/master and high-end listening systems. Gen2 sits at the end of the group when pricing is not yet listed.
What is a studio monitor?
Studio monitors aim for a flat response and a clear sweet spot so you hear problems in a recording, unlike many hi-fi speakers tuned for an immediate enjoyable feel. Most models are active: built-in amps, XLR/TRS from an interface or DAC.
Can they be used as hi-fi speakers?
Yes. Entry JBL models need a DAC/interface; JBL 4305P includes streaming (Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth) and a DAC for an all-in-one living room. Genelec/Barefoot can work as hi-fi if you prefer a neutral presentation.

FAQ
Are ~10M VND studio monitors enough for mixing?
JBL 305P / 306P MkII are enough for home studios, learning to mix, and podcasts when placement and the room are sensible. Larger commercial studios usually cross-check with higher tiers as well.
Do I need to buy a stereo pair?
Yes. Stereo mixing needs a matched pair of the same model. Prices on this page are already for a pair.
Is Genelec better than JBL?
Different segments and use cases. JBL 3 Series optimizes entry price/performance. Genelec optimizes accuracy and long-term studio systems.
Can the JBL 4305P replace regular hi-fi speakers?
Yes if you want accurate sound and convenient streaming. The 4305P includes Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, and a DAC – no separate streamer/DAC required like the 305P/306P.
