When I bought my first monitors, I wasn't going to be able to rely on hearing them myself--as the rooms where monitors were kept weren't ideal to come to any conclusion. So, I sought out the opinion of professionals and read a ton of reviews.
Ultimately, I bought a pair of KRK VXT4s. Without a doubt an incredible monitor for the price of your budget. I also purchased where I could get a no hassle return if I had any issues. After that it's a matter of training your ear and treating your environment.
