9 years later still standing strong
Victor Valiant 23.06.2020
+Stands the test of time.
I've used this Millenium BS-500 Set since 2011.
For nearly 9 years now, they've kept my Yamaha HS80M up.
With an Auralex acoustic pad in between them.

+Reliable
The weight all rests on the thick metal pin,
which is pinned at the position/height you set the shaft to be.
After all these years still reliable & no sign of wear.

+Great cable relief from connector
There's a cable hook provided to attach to the shaft for cables.
I've positioned the hook to face the front rather than the backside so the XLR cable runs in an smooth curvature from front of shaft to back at the speaker.
This way the hook takes the weight of the cable, and not the connector that hangs from the speakers.
Both cable & speaker inputs remains as good as new.
Many overlook cable weight strain on the connector, and might damage either connector or speaker input after years hanging down.

+The Triangle base
Pockets are great for tierupping/spiral rolling remaining cable.
Keeping the power cables, audio cables separate etc
It stands sturdy, with metal carpet spikes provided to screw on for minimal ground contact.

+Base can be rotated as desired to fit with desks.
And speakers all setup can still rotate.
Nice black textured coating, never dusty & easy to clean.

Everything what's expected of a speaker stand to do it does.
Just make sure you don't place overly sized speakers on it.
Or let people walk around them to much.
It can take a nudge but not a bump. Cheers V

Solid, Semi-Stable and Good for Homestudio
Ceyhun K. 01.10.2016
Positive: These stands are easy to mount/ adjust and are solid. They are stable for as long as the floor is perpendicular and not askew, and the height of the pole is not set too high.

The triangle shaped foot is very handy not only for stabilization but also for fitting the stand in corners! The adjustability is very flexible and suits for one's needs. One can adjust the height of the pole and the direction of the surface holder accordingly.

There is a soft material on the corners of the surface holders which prevents the speaker from sliding and shocks.

Negative: Consider taking the measurements of contact surface area of the stand and your speakers before buying. I have the Yamaha HS8 which does not perfectly fit on the surface of the stand, the speaker comes 1 to 2 cm out of the surface.

The stand is not that stable when the speaker is bigger or heavy. The surface holder is sometimes difficult to rotate.

Extra: There is a piece of metal that I do not know exactly the utility of. This piece fits in holes of the pole, I use it as a sort of security, if ever the pole doesn't hold and collapses. By putting the piece of metal in the hole, one can prevent/block the pole from sliding to the ground if ever it fails to hold.

Stand broke and fell same day as I got it
romanm01 10.07.2024
Do not buy this no matter what. Your precious monitors will fall to the ground the same day you put them up on this stand.

I have never before left a product review, but this got me frustrated enough to leave one.
1: An hour after I put them up one of the two stands literally cracked and fell to the ground, seems like it's a result of terrible soldering. Thank god I didn't have the monitor on it when it happened.
2: They didn't match in height, like on the same height setting one of them was approx 5 cm higher... How is that even possible, they had one job! Like how can that even happen...?? It literally wasn't possible to have the speakers on the same height level.
3: The rubber monitor pads at the top weren't symmetrical, sticking out on one side and had a bunch of plastic bits sticking out... I don't know how it even got there. In addition there was a bunch of dust and what looked like metal shavings in the packaging.
Also the packaging smelled like vomit when I opened the box.

I have learnt my lesson, I will put significantly more money into my next monitor stand purchase, and I'm getting my money back.
If you are making cheap products, please make sure that they at minimum get the main job done just as well. This is ridiculous, how is this even allowed to be sold.

Disappointed
Nel. 05.02.2020
They seemed sturdy, reason why I purchased them, but they are not.

VERY BAD:
- The central vertical "tube" is only held by a single screw to the middle of the base, and it is likely very weak and easy to bend/damage. It does not fit very firmly, even when screwed with a lot of force
- There is metal or paint power inside the base frame, so you have to shake the things like a mad to get out what you can. Not only that powder is likely toxic (extremely thin), but also you clearly do not want that in any studio environment (magnets from speakers, mics, guitar pickups...)
- Bad powder coating/damaged finish on the base

LESS BAD
- Feet pressed inserts at the base are moving (not properly pressed into the base)
- Plastic molded parts are low quality
- You cannot put the lower cable managers, as they simply do not fit
- Not the best welding on the base
- I wish it was possible to lower a bit more the speakers

Unless you are on a budget and do not care about a bit of frustration, go ahead. I recommend purchasing something else, especially if you plan to move them a lot. You cannot tour with that.
