Pros

Several users note that the monitors deliver very transparent sound. Some users mentioned they didn't need to get adjusted to the monitors to start working on music. Other reviews mention them striking a balance between great-sounding reproduction and critical accuracy. They sounded great for some users that didn't have optimal room treatment. The sound signature was also said to be non-fatiguing.

Cons

The low-frequency extension is present but can be hit-or-miss depending on your room and how well standing waves are treated. Some users report needing a sub for better low-frequency reproduction.

Overall

If you want a transparent and natural sounding monitor that won't fatigue you while making long mixing sessions a joy, the Dynaudio BM5 mkIII is a great pick for your studio.
