These are brilliant! Bought them to replace my Trust speaker system that was twice the price and they blow that set out of the water. You don't need a subwoofer, the bass these give off is perfectly adequate, I've even had to turn the low-end down! I did get the wired version but it's really not a big issue, but the only gripe is that the cables are quite short, measuring at 1m and I've had to put the left speaker on the right to compensate, which will be annoying for gaming but a £4 cable is on the way in the meantime. I really am extremely impressed by the sound quality though! Read more

Decent speakers for price if you are looking for something with average sound. Not studio quality, but adequate for my needs. Read more

It did not even power on! I have seen many similar reviews on youtube having the same problem but never expected i will be having the same issue Read more

Excellent speakers. The clarity and balance of the audio from my laptop through these speakers is super, you can hear every instrument on a recording. Glad I bought them. Read more

The Studio Monitors are just amazing, they faithfully reproduce a flat sound response across the audio spectrum, and they are ideal for mixing in a bedroom studio. They were very easy to set up, and once they are tuned to your room, you will, like me, be very pleased with the sound of your new monitors. I had to go onto YouTube, to find out how to tune the monitors, as there are no instructions in the paperwork that comes with the monitors, All in all, they are very good monitors and not at all overpriced. I would happily recommend these monitors to any bedroom musicians/producers for reliable sound reproduction, and they are great for mixing. Also, they are perfect for anyone who listens to music for pleasure, they will bring out things in the music, that you have never heard before in your favourite tracks/albums. Read more

I’m a fussy audiophile. These paired with my UA Volt 2 USB soundcard are simply brilliant for the money. Impressive bass from such a small form factor. Very well made too. Highly recommended. Read more

I got these after 2 more expensive sets failed me: IK Micro-Loud - too much hiss, unjustifiable at their high cost, so returned. Logi Z407 - sounded mediocre with boomy out of sync base, poor vocals, returned. I gave up and returned to using my MacBook Pro 14" speakers. Then I saw these Eris 3.5 units on sale and thought why not try. They actually sound really decent for the money. Maybe not the same as a pair of £500 genelecs, but really for near £70 they are just really solid with near flawless sound and no loud hiss, and a clear step up from my MacBook audio. Might have expected more if they're expensive, but at this price level they're an easy 5 stars. Love the aux-in and headphone jack both being on the front too alongside the power button. Odd choice to have controls/power on left speakers, but that's a very minor quirk. Well done PreSonus! Read more

Good quality sound. Love these Read more

These are the best compact monitors Ive ever bought. Yes ... EVER. And I've had more than a few sets over the years. I cannot praise these highly enough. I slowly got rid of old, cumbersome recording equipment over the last few years, none of it worth a anything because its all outdated old skool stuff. So I started again, set myself a reasonable budget to get my brand new home studio up and running and did some research. I actually came in at half my budget after doing lots of homework. My requirements changed due to new tech available. I did not expect these speakers to punch massively above their size and price point. Dont let the 3.5" woofer size put you off. I'm a drummer and love that punchy low end and in my set up there is nothing lacking and they have a really neutral overall soundscape which helps enormously when mixing. They are of course self powered and have acoustic tuning feature which would be tone controls to a non audiophile. They are a bit more than that as you can trim the sound depending on where you position them. Mine are on a shelf, about 1.5m apart. Incidentally, I have placed them in various positions but I have not needed to tweak anything so I have them set to the "flat" position. Nice feature. I have to mention, I was nearly put off because of one youtube video which had the title "why you should not buy these speakers". Ignore it. Guy completely misses the point and tries to make a nonsense appraisal. Yes, if you are looking to fill a huge room or full size studio then yes they will lack the power to fill that room. I am banished to the smallest spare bedroom in the house and the room is just 10ft by 8ft so I bought accordingly. Its a compact-ish home studio and the set up is my laptop with 24" stand alone monitor, Behringer 8 input/output DAC, I use Reaper as my DAW and now have these PreSonus Gen2 monitors which I use for playback, mixing and mastering. I dont use them when actually recording as I use IEMs for that and also Sennheiser HD280Pros. When recording drums, the live signal can be a bit too much as a raw signal through the monitors. Use these within their limits and they are fantastic. Unbeatable value for money and I've spent a lot more on monitors in the past with higher output that didn't perform half as well. I dont know why I didn't buy them sooner. Try and hold an outside disco for a street party with them and you're wasting your time. You know what I mean, use common sense. These genuinely are brilliant. Read more

So they may not be my Kef's but I no longer run a massive rig of separates for my sounds (It's 2024 and tech has moved on). These take up little space and are ideal for running my PC or laptop through. Be it playing music, watching movies or creating with Ableton Live. Plus they sound a lot better than they should for the 70 quid I paid for them. Can't fault them. Read more

The speakers look and sound nice, allowing for +6db of treble or bas control from the main active speaker, however when 'idle' with nothing playing a popping sound can be heard (like a helicopter is taking off in the distance) , which can become annoying quite quickly if you don't like it. Personally I don't mind these as Im not using them in any professional environment, but others who are more noise sensitive may have an issue with this. This popping happens whatever level the gain is on the front or back, and stay at the same volume anytime the speaker is powered on. Apart from that though the form factor and design is nice, and the sound quality good fir the price point, would recommend if you don't mind the quite popping. Read more

Soundbars ? Don't even bother. I ordered these thinking I would have a better sound.....they just arrived and I set them up. I bought a cheap and easy behringer audio interface.....good quality RCA cables and connected the audio interface via usb. No power required. Setup the speakers ( I was thinking: these feel strangely light).... I switched them on....I'm listening to : Pet Shop Boys (The end of the world); blade 2016 remix as I type this. WOW !....The sound is so full and rich.....Not at all harsh. The bass ? I'm speechless to be honest. Horns and synths sound full but not overly bright. Vocals are clear. Sweeping pads sound beautiful. I've heard these speakers don't do well with audio separation using the included aux-to rca connectors which is why I purchased the behringer (tiny little thing). Some advice - don't buy cheap cables for audio signals....the German companies on amazon make some amazing ones that are fully tested before being sold and they aren't too expensive. (Cable-direct are fabulous). So..if you want your music and audio to sound fabulous.....the bass is just incredible...honestly - filling the whole room and the speakers are at half volume. High hats sound amazing and I can hear the aspects of tracks I haven't before. Do you know when you buy something and look at the boxes you have unpacked wondering if they will have to be reused in a return ? Get your recycle bin ready for boxes that you will not be returning !! Read more

These mid-sized monitors are amazing value for money. They are well made and feel solid. Perfect size. They look great and are very easy to set up and use. I connected them within minutes. But most importantly is the high quality of sound produced. I use them in a (amateur) home studio environment with Logic Pro. But even just for pure listening pleasure ie, iTunes, YouTube, Apple Music or Spotify they are fantastic. Obviously if you’re a pro music producer you’ll need something more substantial. For everyone else at £70 approx you’ll not be disappointed. Read more

The selection of connection options meant I was able to quickly connect this speaker system to my TV with no issues at all. Our use case is to improve the sound of a 32" TV in a caravan. There's no room for a soundbar/woofer combination. Plus stereo separation is important. Volume was set to 50% on the speakers and fine volume control was made using the TV remote. I was very quickly blown away by the depth of sound on first test using a radio channel on the TV. The dials to control bass and treble are most useful when watching high dynamic range movies where you might be conscious of explosions bothering your neighbours. Or just want to eq a piece of music a little more to your taste. Overall the sound is extremely clean, punchy, crisp, but not too heavy on the bass or treble (unless you adjust this with the EQ of course). The cone of sound is quite narrow and the speakers benefit from some toe-in when you wish to listen more intently. Regular placing is fine for movie viewing in my experience. There is sufficient cable to expand the sound stage or to accommodate much larger TVs. I would have no hesitation in using these speakers in my primary music listening setup via an amp and would also be very happy with these connected to a pc for gaming. The speakers are particularly attractive and have no garish led lights to distract you. The blue power lead is quite subtle. The only slight negative is the power button which is placed at the bottom of the speaker and operating this one-handed will result in pushing the speaker around the surface it is stood on. The supplied rubber feet provide good isolation from the standing surface, but not sufficient anti slip for on handed power operations. Not a big deal at all and certainly nothing that would put me off buying a second set. Easy to setup and adjust to your liking, attractive design, multiple connection options, great tone and ample volume range for most household situations. Read more
