KRK Rokit 4s $139.50 each

Persons Eris 4.5s $199.95 pair

Mackie CR4s $150 pair

The KRKs are the best out of the bunch. The CR4s are good for their price and the Persons Eris 4.5s are good if you want to get an audio interface as well. If you're looking for 5 inch monitors go KRK or M-Audio but avoid the BX5 Carbons and JBL.

I would heartily disagree on KRK being the best of the bunch, because of the bigger models having awfully inaccurate low end, however with a 5 inch driver, they'll probably do okay. If you haven't treated your room, there's not a lot of point making serious mixing decisions no matter how much you spend. Personally, I'd pick up the Presonus Eris E5s, and check your low end on headphones.

Yeah KRKs are the best in their price range from five to 8 inch driver sizes. If you can afford it the HS8s are better but not by much. Presonus are ok but they're not horribly accurate. 8inch driver sizes don't get good until you venture into the realm of Exposes, Focal, or Dynaudio. If you don't have the money for those and have 5 inch monitors pick up a Yamaha or KRK studio sub until you can afford the higher end stuff. But for 5inch sizes the KRKs are the best I've used in that price range. I wouldn't go Eris 5s just because they cause more ear fatigue and their woofers tend to rot after a year or so. KRK and M-Audio have the best 5inch monitors. But M-Audios BX5 Carbons are awful. If you don't have a sub headphones work fine if you have a good pair.
