PreSonus Eris E3.5-3.5" Near Field Studio Monitors (Pair) – Powered Desktop Speakers for Music Production, Studio-Quality Recording, and Active Media Reference

Keep in mind that I am not a professional; I am just a guy who likes music to sound good and likes making personal audio projects. The monitors look very nice, and they are very straightforward when it comes to hooking up the included cords. Dont be disappointed when hearing them for the first time; they're not made to sound good necessarily. Monitors are supposed to provide a flat response in order for the mixer (you) to get a clear, unbiased reproduction of the sound you are engineering. If you want them to sound better, play around with your equalizer. I have two profiles set up on my Realtek software. One is lively, with a Party preset for the equalizer and the environment set to Room, and the other one is just the default flat sound. You can also play around with the knobs on the back of the main monitor to adjust the highs and lows. The logos on my monitors don't light up when on; I thought they were supposed to. It's not too much of a bummer, but it would've been nice to see. I remember hearing something about breaking in new monitors when you get them. If the sound sounds weird no matter what you do, try playing bass-heavy music constantly for at least 24 hours. I'm pretty sure it is recommended that you do it for a longer time, but it's been a while since I heard how exactly the process works. Now I would like to mention my main issue with my order: the power cord that came with it was not made for the monitor. The monitor takes a figure-8 style plug, but I received one that is round on one side and square on the other. I registered my product on the Presonus website and filed a support ticket last Thursday. After an hour, they apologized for the inconvenience and asked for a shipping address, ostensibly to send me a replacement cord. I provided that information to them, but received no other updates. On Tuesday night, I decided that it was time my Paperweight 3.5s became Presonus 3.5s, and I ordered a power cable myself with one-day shipping. The one I got was the CIMPLE CO polarized double-round figure 8 something or other. It shouldn't be too hard to find on here. It's very cheap if you can hold off on the one-day shipping (which I didn't). For me it was about an extra 12 bucks that I shouldn't have had to spend, but I'm not mad. I'm just glad I can listen to my music without using headphones all the time. I am aware of at least one other reviewer who bought these this month (May 2018) and received the wrong power cord like me, so be prepared for that if you order these monitors, but don't let that put you off. There's nothing wrong with the equipment itself; it's just a packaging issue that may happen. So again, I am not a professional, but I like the way they look on my desk and the way they sound. I definitely recommend them, especially for the price.

To preface, I would describe myself as the poor persons audio enthusiast. I research as best as I can for the right product to buy within the right price point. And I must say that these speakers are stellar! If you have read the other reviews then you'll know what they are saying, at this price point, these speakers perform exceptionally well. I bought these to replace my Sony SS-B1000 which were also pretty great for the price, but they were aging and I needed something different. I was in the search for something smaller that would carry sound through the walls to a lesser extent (roommates). So the fact that these were near-field monitors caught my eye. As of my first day having them: I will say that the clarity of these speakers is magnificent for what they are. They also get relatively loud for compact 25W speakers (massively impressive). The Sonys that I had were 125W per channel, and I think these would get nearly as loud if I could crank them up fully (roommates). But these definitely beat out the Sonys in clarity. I mostly listen to House House House, Techno, Disco, Downtempo, Electronica, and a select few songs in the rap and "pop" genre. These speakers meet my needs in the low end (surprisingly full-bodied), and the mids and highs are clean and crisp. I will see how they sounds after a couple dozen hours of breaking in - which shouldn't be long - but I suspect that they will only improve. They have an ample amount of connections in the back, as many as higher-end studio monitors in most cases. My only caveat with them is that the treble and bass adjustment knobs are on the back of the speaker. This is only and issue for me because of my desk setup (speakers underneath a shelf with monitors above the shelf), as the knobs are a little harder to get to. Other than that, these are awesome speakers. Bottom line, if you are looking for something entry level that is still good quality, go for these, or the bluetooth version (I didn't get the BT version because I have Chromecast audio and Google home so it seemed overkill). -------- Will update if any issues are encountered --------

I've been using these studio monitor speakers for a few months now, and I'm really impressed with their performance. I've used these speakers for a variety of tasks, including mixing, mastering, and just listening to music. They've performed flawlessly in every situation. If you're looking for a pair of studio monitor speakers that are accurate, well-built, and affordable, I highly recommend this one. However, they're not for those looking for punchy bass. Pros: Accurate sound reproduction Wide frequency response Bass and Treble level control Affordable price

Casse eccellenti sia come monitor da studio che per il puro ascolto, godibilissime anche in quest'ultimo caso. Preamplificate, quindi si può collegare uno smartphone o un lettore tramite cavo e godersi la propria musica. Vi è anche un ingresso cuffie 3.5. Dettagliate ed evidenzianti i difetti della registrazione su tutte le frequenze. Bassi potenti e regolabili anche sul retro. Stupefacente tecnologia per la qualità del monitoraggio, la potenza, soprattutto dei bassi e le piccole dimensioni, che le collocano facilmente nell'ambiente. Ho messo in soffitta le mie Yamaha MSP5 che usavo come casse monitor nearfield e le ho sostituite con queste, per il loro eccellente monitoraggio obiettivo. Mi piace meno la manopola del volume per le sue troppo piccole dimensioni, e la avrei preferita in materiale gommoso, per maggior capacità di presa, ma è un dettaglio quasi insignificante, rispetto al valore complessivo dell'oggetto. Scoperta l'elevata qualità mi sono quasi pentito di non aver preso il modello superiore, ma il dubbio rimane sempre, sul fatto che non sempre più si spende, più si ha. Consigliate assolutamente, senza dubbio alcuno.

To bardzo fajne i dobrze brzmiące małe monitory na biurko. Niestety bas mocno dudni, i wymaga konkretnej korekty: -12dB@125Hz (na Macu np. przy pomocy programu eqMac)

Everything is fine. I recommend it.

Malgré une dimension compacte, cette paire d'enceinte active reproduit fidèlement tous les styles de musique. Avec elles on redécouvre les tubes connus car elles sont précises et on a l'impression qu'aucune fréquence n'est atténuée. Seule la profondeur des basses pourrait être regrettable mais on ne peux pas demander plus pour un si faible volume. Je regrette juste de ne pas avoir choisis le modèle avec BT.
