Eris 3.5 Powered Desktop Studio Monitors, Pair – 50W, White | 3.5" Active Near-Field Desktop Speakers for Music Production, Gaming, Movies & Hi-Fi,Woven-Composite Woofer,Silk-Dome Tweeter

When my Creative Pebble 2.0 computer speakers stopped working, I knew I needed a new set of speakers. In years past, I had the Rokit 5 G2 monitors and matching subwoofer for my main video editing computer. But right now I don't have that kind of money to spend, and I'm not currently doing enough paid editing work to justify that kind of investment. I needed speakers that would mostly be used for listening to music, watching video content, and for editing videos occasionally. Enter the PreSonus Eris 3.5, which at just under $100 was at the top end of what I could spend. I almost went with the Ortizan C7, but decided on these instead both for the smooth volume knob adjustment and the PreSonus brand name. They were easy to set up with my MacMini, they look great on my white desk, and there's always the option to get the Eris subwoofer if I want to. I did not need Bluetooth connectivity, just wired RCA or 3.5mm, with the option to do 1/4" later on. Be aware these are not true active monitors, they're basically something between that and computer speakers. The left side has the power cable, the inputs, and the bass/treble adjustments. The right speaker is a passive "satellite" that connects with regular speaker wire. At 25w each, I can't see the point of upgrading the wire to a larger gauge. The tweeters do have a grille covering them which is nice, and the carbon fiber woofers have a smooth concave dustcap. I'm not worried about denting the woofer or tweeter. Now let's talk about sound. These definitely get loud enough for a bedroom or small office. I rarely turn mine up past 50% and at that level it's louder than I normally listen to things. The response is maybe a little heavy on bass/mid-bass, so I turned down the bass knob on the speaker to about 30% and use an EQ program on my computer to slightly boost the mids/highs and roll off the bass. With that, the speakers sound balanced to my ears. If you're using these for consuming entertainment, they certainly fit the bill. If you're mixing your own music/videos as an amateur or low-budget prosumer, then these will probably work if you set the EQ right for your room. I would still recommend checking your mix on a good pair of headphones and also a cheap mono speaker. They look good, they sound good, and have just enough upgrade options to work at the prosumer level. I did not pay extra for the Bluetooth feature as I figured the subwoofer comes with that functionality if I really want it later on. EDIT: I bought a right angled power cable and angled RCA adapters so that I could fit the Left speaker closer to the wall than the factory cables would allow.

This little speakers pack a big punch. I use them for music production beat making and light vocals the 808s don't bang as much as I would like but that's why I'm going to get a subwoofer for them. Everything else sounds great in FL studio. I also use them for gaming on my Lenovo legion go s,the included aux cable plugs right into the game into the speakers. Video games sound even better than the music. Bottom line if your on a budget and you live in a moderate size apartment or a small bedroom get these speakers.

Outstanding for the price. Way better than any computer speakers. Not a ton of bass, but what bass it has is balanced. If you want more, get a sub.

A nice setup and ease of use. Highly recommended!!

Good build quality. If you listen to podcasts on these though, the response is a tad boomy especially for male hosts. Otherwise, these sound good for the price.

Great addition to my set that already includes a pair of Presonus 6.5” and the Presonus 8” sub.. The 3.5” speakers completes the set.. Perfecto

Well worth the price, probably the best pc speakers on the market. I’ve had them for about 7-8 months now with no problems! Easy to setup though it looks a bit intimidating compared to other speakers. Quality is clear and it’s very loud! I will note that when you first turn your pc on or start using the speakers after a while they do take about 5-10 seconds to kick on. I just call it the “warming up” phase. Again it’s quick and not that big of a deal and the quality makes up for the few second inconvenience! I can’t speak to the Bluetooth as I got the wired but if you are considering the wired version I’d go for it!

I'm not so sure about these being called "Studio Monitors" (Yamaha's HS4 are more deserving of that title), but as bookshelf speakers for casual listening and budget music production they are great. I would recommend using these with an audio interface & 1/4" jack, as the 3.5mm is extremely noisy. Sound is not as balanced as true studio monitors but pleasant to listen to.

It works well with the drumset.

Very good sound quality and clarity is more than what I expected. Literally plug and play. Definitely 100% recommend if you want to step up your audio / recording setup.

Küçük evlerde, yer kaplamadan kaliteli ses almak isteyenler icin cok tatmin edici bir ürün. Ben müzik dinlemek icin kullanıyorum. Basindan da tizinden de memnunum. Ses boğuk gelmiyor ki küçük hoparlörlerde bu durum genellikle can sıkıcı olabiliyor.

正直この価格でモニターなんかできるのか？と思ってましたが、使ってみると普段聞こえない音までクッキリ聞こえてびっくりしました。 ローの響きは流石に大きいものには敵いませんが、それでもこの価格でしっかり音が聞こえるのは本当に驚きです。 音楽を聴くのが楽しくなりますよ！

Excellent sounding speakers. Just make sure you turn them off when not in use otherwise the caps will eventually bulge and fail on the amp.
