Outstanding
Great sound! Great price!
Excellent choice for desktop
These speakers sound fantastic. They don't take much room on the desk and have amazing bass response considering the size. Highly recommended.
Geat monitors for the price
I just picked up a pair of these and can not believe the sound out of a 3.5 50 watt pair. They are rich, balanced and smooth. I was not honestly expecting that. Listened to others way over this price and can't hear any noticeable difference.
Good Value and Support
These are my first studio monitors and I am quite pleased with the sound quality at this price point. The advice I received was good, and tech support helped me when i had questions regarding hooking them up to my Mac
Great Sound from Little Speakers
If you're just starting out in your home studio and have been looking for a set of monitors, look no further. I've had the Eris 3.5 studio monitors for close to 2 years. These are some great little speakers for any home studio. The clarity of the music (or podcast) from the speakers is ear pleasing. I can hear the pick attack on the guitars and the crashing of the symbols without everything getting muddied up. The work well for simple desk speakers as well.
Great Speakrs for the Price
I'm really impressed by these speakers. They have clean, reasonably accurate sound, offer balanced inputs, and have a sleek, low-profile design. If you're going to be doing serious music mixing you really should spring for the next level up at least. But for occasional hobby mixing, video editing, or even just good desk speakers, these are a really great choice if you're on a budget. I originally got the Mackie CR3-X's but found them to have a noticeable hiss at all volumes. After reading a few reviews, I took them back and got these and the difference was night and day. No hiss, no noise, just good sound for the money.
Great Monitors.
Great Monitors. Great Price.
Compact & good sound.
Nice set of speakers/monitors. Been using on my laptop with the PreSonus Audiobox. Not a huge range of bass & mid mix but it suffices and they do crank pretty good. And I get a good mix with my guitar & amp. Thanks!!
Big Upgrade Over Computer Monitors
These are a huge upgrade over my old 1" computer speakers. Setting them up was easy. Very loud and clear!
Bought first day
These are crazy good at this price & size. I have the older ones and they translate very well to be 3.5 inches and $. Actually I trust the mixes so much I'm afraid to use other monitors at this point. This new version is just more "modern and polished" They sound the same but louder , clearer & much cleaner bass. The light in the front is only blue when signal is hot & they have a slight 1/2 second delay playing sometimes which make them seem sort of digital or like it's a transformer in these. All I know is , if it sounds good on these, sounds good in my car.
Great speakers
Great sounding speakers. Don't listen to that other clown on the reviews who said they are bad.
I was shocked how good these sound
I had purchased a pair of the original Eris 3.5 a few years ago. I wound up leaving them at my office and so I got a set of the new ones. I always thought these were the best sounding small monitors for the money so I was hoping that the new ones would sound as good. Unbelievably, after I got them home I heard a noticeable improvement in clarity. I thought my ears were playing tricks so I brought the old ones home and did an a/b test and sure enough, the 2nd Generation ones are definitely better. I'm really happy with these!
Monitor
I'm very happy with my purchase, I have limited amount of space around my keyboards and they are fitting in nicely with my setup and the sound is perfect for what I'm asking them to do, Go Sweetwater, Go Brenton !!! I'm a huge fan
The Speakers
So I needed a cheap pair of reference speakers just to get a different sound then my regular speakers. These got very good reviews and were very very inexpensive. So I bought them. This turned out to be a great choice. After hooking them up I tackled a very tough mix and I sent it too the client who wrote back Best Mix SoFar. At that point I knew I made the right choice and I am very happy that I did.
Worse...
Below standard materials and poor customer service. Bad company! Don't buy products from Presonus
