PreSonus Eris 3.5 Studio Monitors, Pair — Powered, Active Monitor Speakers for Near Field Music Production, Desktop Computer, Hi-Fi Audio

* I'm coming from Logitech computer speakers *These are a great set of speakers at a respectable price point. The front panel has Aux, headphone jack, volume knob, and power on/off. The front panel looks great and the exposed speakers are a style I prefer. The sound quality is very good clear and feels neutral. I am not an audiophile, but my ears are impressed. If you are looking for a punchy bass heavy set of speakers, avoid these. They will not meet your needs. However, if you are looking for clear audio with a more neutral sound curve, get these. Hard to beat at the price range.The actual build quality looks great and very sturdy. There is no rattle or vibration issues. It also comes with foam pads to put under the speakers if needed.

Amazing sounds! No technical issues, easy to install. Makes gaming and watching movies, listening to music, a wonderful experience!

Sound good not sure how to compared it to, but it better the laptop speaker. Not too heavy, I put the speaker next to the laptop so I am not sure if the cable are a good length or not. It look fine. Power I don't what they mean by that. Good speakers for 100 dollars.

I got this for my home studio and after using it to finish three songs since getting it, I can say I was definitely handicapped trying to produce and mix without a sub. I have the sub paired with my Presonus Eris 5 speakers. The songs I've produced using the sub vs. without the sub have translated much better across various speaker systems and my low end is much tighter and easier to manage. Also, when it comes to sound design, I can make much deeper and higher quality sub bass synth patches because I can actually hear and feel what I'm doing. I'd recommend using a calibrated room microphone and an acoustic room response calibration software to calibrate the sub and your speakers to your specific room as well. I found for my room I could just leave the sub in it's default configuration out of the box, but the settings on the back of the sub allow for some really nice fine tuning to get a nice flat response after accounting for the room response. Lastly, I really like the Bluetooth capability for casual listening and it works well if you only pair it with one device, but I found that if you want to switch between devices you have to press and hold the Bluetooth button on the back of the sub for it to connect to a different device each time despite already being paired. It connects automatically without that step if you just connect and use one BT device consistently with it. Kind of a weird and somewhat annoying quirk, but I don't really use the Bluetooth for anything but connecting my phone to the speaker system for leisure listening, and I only occasionally connect my laptop. For music production though, I use balanced TRS cables routed to my audio interface because the Bluetooth can add a significant amount of latency to the signal chain. In summary, if you already have Eris speakers and want to gain the valuable information your ears need to have great low end in your mixes I'd say this sub is a no brainer and worth every penny.

I got a set of Eris 4.5 gen 1s (non-bluetooth) about 5 years ago and until recently they were fantastic. They have great performance for the budget and were a significant step up from the cheap edifiers I used before them. They sound clear, had very low self-noise, and performed well. I paid $200 at the time and they were good value for that price.Unfortunately after about 5 years of use the built in amplifier started to fail, developing a constant loud hiss and significant distortion at higher frequencies. Checking with my oscilloscope showed me the amp was injecting a 24kHz signal into the speaker which was aliasing down to the annoying hiss and tone I was hearing. (I can't hear 20khz+, I'm too old, but the aliased frequency matches what I was hearing) Both speakers use the same amp which means the set was now effectively dead. (I did verify this was the speaker, and not the power, environment, etc)For that five year period I had no complaints. I've since upgraded to a much nicer set of monitors but I would still recommend these to someone wanting a nice set of studio monitors without wanting to spend $400+, just understand these may not last your whole life.For anyone curious, when I opened the case to diagnose the dead amp I saw the bluetooth and non-bluetooth gen-1 models are identical. The bluetooth module sits on a daughter-board on the amp. The non-bluetooth version contains the PCB but the components are not populated. You could probably reverse-engineer this to inject your own signal into the amp.
