Overall Impression

Feedback on the HR624mk2 itself leans more on open buyer questions than confirmed hands-on experiences. Several commenters reference the earlier V1 model's reputation for sounding unusually good at low volume and ask whether the mk2 keeps that trait. One commenter raises a reliability concern, citing reports of a soldering defect and units failing to power back on after sitting unused. Another asks how the monitors have held up since first use, without providing an answer. A separate buyer is torn between the 6-inch HR624mk2 and the 8-inch version for recording and mixing live instruments. No commenter in this set offers a firsthand verdict on the HR624mk2's actual sound performance.

Outdated / Not-accurate data?

volume_downReputation for good low-volume sound

2 mentions

Generally positive

A commenter says they have heard more than one reviewer describe these monitors as unusually good at low listening volumes, and another asks whether this trait carried over from the earlier V1 model. This suggests a positive reputation around low-volume performance, though it is based on secondhand accounts rather than direct testing in these comments.

@CinemaDemocratica

I love my Edifier s2000mkiii's but I've heard more than one reviewer talk about these for being unusually good at low volume. Agree/disagree?

@sboistan

Thanks! The V1 of these has a reputation for sounding good at lower volume levels, did you find that the case with these?

Generally negative

One commenter asks whether the monitors ever had problems, mentioning they had heard of a soldering defect and reports that some units fail to turn back on if left unused and then switched on again. This is an unconfirmed, secondhand concern raised as a question rather than a verified fault.

@marcelo98s

Did you ever have any problems with these monitors? I heard they have a soldering defect in one part, other people say that if they don't use them and then turn them back on they don't turn on, I hope for your response
