How much easier will it be to mix with a pair of these over cheaper monitors (M-Audio BX5) considering a really crappy mixing room environment?

Yamaha will have a better frequency response than the M-Audio's! But like Chad said below..... you could have the best reference monitors in the world, but if you're in a square room with NO treatment on your flat surfaces and NO bass traps in your corners..... you're just going to have a mess of frequencies bouncing around and canceling each other out and phasing and boomies, you get those more from running a boom mic for film/video and most of that comes from the handling of the boom pole and the mic cable slapping against the pole! But an untreated flat room with a ton of reverb drowning everything out will make you pull your hair out because you'll never be able to get a good mix!! I would focus on getting control of your room first and if you have $700 to treat your room, then you have way more than enough, depending on the size of your room!?

A lot of people seem to be using these next to a monitor or tv. are they even shielded?!?!? i'd rather not degauss my new 4k tv...

What? This is not early 90's device. Have them 5cm of my 27" monitor, notebook, usb hub, wireless keyboard, external sound card ... Never seen any interference.

Do these speakers turn on and off automatically?

No. That is the last thing you would want to happen in a studio environment, for which these speakers are designed.

I plan on using these for my turntables with mix vinyl/use serato. i'm using a behringerddm4000 mixer. are xlr cables the best way to set these up?

Yes. Any balanced cable will do whether that's XLR or TRS 1/4" cables.
