A bit of an update on these speakers. About a week after filming this video they decided to die. I replaced them with a set of Genelec 8010A's and a JBL LSR310S Sub. I'm working on a video talking about those but I want to get some proper use out of them first.
I’m so sorry for your loss
Awwwww
Maybe it's just a mosfet that went bad.. It's totally fixable
hahaha, viewers curse
You jinxed it,.
Mine arrived yesterday and I’ve been an engineer for years and money is an issue atm, these speakers blew my mind how good they are from the money. Madness. We live in such a luxurious time, when technology is become so advanced.
We're truly lucky
Thanks! had a guy trash the speakers online was looking for some more positivity thanks for sharing
Very nice 2-years later review! I think long-run reviews should really be the norm for these types of products, as typically working with them for a few days to pop out a review gives mostly the first impressions, good job!
Fabulous review. Well scripted, well written, well spoken. You really made interesting points. I listened to the 4.5 version at a friend's place. Blew me away. Looking forward to the 3.5s.
Great video Nick! I've been enjoying my Eris E3.5s on the Amiga setup for about 2 years after your original recommendation.
Did they break soon after reaching 2 years? Asking because there are many reports throughout the years, that they die around 2 year period, usually just after warranty period (sometimes few days before). Any power issues whatsoever?
Mine just arrived. Glad to hear this good news. They sound nice.
Just bought a pair of these am totally blown away by how good they are for the price and the size. By far the best sounding speakers I have owned to date and have previously spent a small fortune on them.
Great video! Thanks for the detailed review, I've been considering these and the Edifier you showed. This was a big help..
Picked up my speakers about a year ago, never thought to check out a review on them til recently because I've been in love with the sound I get from them and have been wondering why they were only 100 bucks. I had some huge studio monitors on my desk before and I love how much space these save tucked under my ultrawide.
Nice one. I use the Harman/Kardon stick because of the style but use a pair of reference pair of headphone just because of that. It makes so much of a difference when you listen to how sound it was intended to sound like. Its nice have that extra base in there for music and games and every. Like you said it, the Flat sound is key.
Great video guys, look forward to the next one.
I remember when I first got these about 2 years ago I remember worrying about whether the bass was going to be too tiny. To my surprise after unboxing them and hooking them up not only were they Bassy enough to fill up my average sized bedroom but the Sonic quality of these things are on point they even have that high-end Sheen that reminds me of something in the way more expensive range like hs50s. Seriously these things are amazing.
Que les paso?
Placed an order and can't wait to get mine! :)
they didnt break yet?
That is exactly how I feel in my studio now.. surrounded and boxed in. thank you so much!
Thanks for the explanation. Im trying to looking for some speakers.
Was gonna buy the Eris 5 two years back. Went with the 3.5 and so far have zero regrets. It's amazing
keep posting such content. literally other youtubers use things for 2 days and make a review
Great review! Will be receiving mine tomorrow together with the Focusrite interface, can’t wait to actually hear what they sound like🔥
Haha wauw! So Nice to see this video. A few hours ago i was in the middle of desiding to buy the eris 3.5 or the r1280t. I orderd the eris! And seeing and listening to your video made me feel that i made the right choise. Cant wait to get the speakers tomorrow 😇
Thank you for the video!
These are an amazing price. I’ve had Krk rp5s for like 10 years but my kids, when they were little pushed in the centre cones and I’ve wanted a replacement that wouldn’t break the bank. These look like a great option! I’m glad this new channel exists. I am loving the greater variety on gear/tech. Great vid. :)
My Rokits have fried, trying to open them up and clean them out. They were great when they worked but not happy with them in the long run. I looked at some JBL 305P mk2 as a replacement, heard them in the shop and they are stunning. Ended up with something smaller like Nick here, those style of speakers are just massive haha.
So far we have Presonus, Mackie and KRK that break somewhere around after warranty period.
@CorazineDru are yours still operational?
@@jaylow759 they were still working as of a year ago but I ended up getting rid of them, so I’m not sure if they are still going but they were working a year ago.
I have these in my beginner studio & I love them.
I've had them for about 4 months now and quite pleased with them. Thanks for the follow up re-view, it was very good!
hey man quick question since I'm thinking of getting them. do they come with the cables to connect them to the computer? or do I have to buy those separately?
@@FernandoCastro-rg7wi There is a cable included 2rca-3.5 minijack 1.5 meters long.
how's the bass ?
how loud is sound for a 12x8 ft room (small)
are good for mixing for beginners ?
@@Affekt77 is this for connecting the tow together or to connect to mains power?
@@zian3694 For their size,they sound pretty great!But if I could go back,I would rather buy the 4,5 instead!That way you wont feel the absense of bass and volume without having to pump up the volume to the max.The 3,5 start to distort a bit more over the half of the volume knob!
I was nervous about ordering these. But your review was awesome. Thanks. I'm getting the bundle.
i just got a pair of these today. while i understand they aren't like world class level sound they sound damn good and i'm really happy with them. they're very sufficient for mixing sessions and getting vocals better dialed in. regardless of the speakers it's still a work in progress and some of the music i've released isn't mixed properly at all in my opinion now but these sure do help with an accurate pronounced sound to go off of as i better learn the other aspects.
How are the speakers holding up
Yes, same question: still operational?
Glad I found this I have just bought the Presonus Audiobox USB 96 bundle which includes these speakers. Thanks for your review :)
Hi mainbyte. Thanks for this video you helped me decide in buying these speakers. Also, you have a really nice camera setup here 👍
Boxed in by speakers, LOL - Sent my mind spinning back to when I was young - I had an 80's Marshall valve bass rig, for gigging and home practice. A 4 x 12" cab on the top and a Celestion 1 x 18" on the bottom. Back then I owned a small, top floor flat and looking back I appreciate that I may not have been the best neighbour... Not sure what was worse - getting that lot up the stairs at 3am after a gig or the late night scales practices. Now I'm nearly 60 and modern tiny amps and speakers blow my mind tbh.
I have the 4.5s and they are absolutely incredible!
i’ve using for dj-ing along with a sub , super cool and loud enough
Just got them today and the sound is incredible
Great callout on the RCA inputs. I plan to run these with balanced TRS from my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, so that will set me up nicely. Great review and thanks for giving us a view from the long-term!
Rca gives out a lot of static i have heard is it true
Dear Friend,
thank you for this very interesting video. After watching this video i purchased the eris 3.5 and i am very happy with the little studio monitors.
I'd never believed, what bass comes out of these guys. VERY good. They can get very loud with perfect sound. Thank you for your recommendation!
What I really wanna know is if these speakers will sound as if Nick and Klaire were really beside me giving me Tech Advice.
Just bought these yesterday can't wait for them to get here. I've been using a cheap soundbar that sounds horrible especially when using guitar plugins.
that track dam bro sick track love it. congrats on the vid and sick info.
Whoooo. Excellent video. Sound like some solid speakers.
Bought this speakers a few weeks ago. They were revolutionary. I made my content through headphones and listened to it both on the mixing headphones and a mono bluetooth speakers. Even though I dont have an interface yet, having stereo separation and a wider soundstage is amazing. Love the bass response and sound profile, although my listening spot sucks, but I record, mix and master in my own bedroom, so there's no room for change. They are really loud and full for their size.
Woo, great video fams. Speakers sound amazing
Great video! Very informative. I really enjoyed!
Thanks for the review. Just purchased and waiting for the delivery in a week or so. By the way, what is the name of that first song you played in the demo?
great video with high production value! I had similar issue with unbalanced input .. it sounded really bad. I use balanced now. My biggest problem with mine, that it has a terrible boost at 120 Hz (port problem), maybe it is only with mine... It is annoying to listen to.. I can deal with it at mixing, but it is not that simple to use a software eq to balance it out.
i like your content, truthful, it gives people confidence to start, rather givin tons of option trying to get people to buy more expensive speakers
I bought these Speakers (the BT Version) 2 month ago, because of your first Review of them.
And they are really amazing.
That was also the first Gear Seeker Video i watched.
Greetings from Germany.
How do they sound like in games and multimedia consumption (youtube etc)? Would you describe them as too dry or nice and balanced?
And most importantly: are they still working or broke already? Any power issues?
that's it throwing out my Edifier S730 which i paid over 300 euros and switching to these, they are only one third the price WOW
They are great! I went for the 4.5 just because I think the bass response feels better.
I have been using the 4.5's for over 2 years. I sometimes push them much harder than what they are intended for. They have stood up to everything and still sound like new. I'm still impressed with all the connection options they give you although for me they remain connected to the monitor outs of my 24 track tascam.
Moving Air is the key.
I'm rocking a pair of these and a pair of Mali LP6s in a treated room. Awesome for referencing!
still waiting for my savings enough to have it. thanks for this excellent review..👍🏻
Amazing tutorial man. I love it!
I'm looking forward to getting these on Tuesday, I've had a set of M-Audio AV40s for years and years now. I finally decided to pull the trigger on a new set thanks to a gift card from my in-laws. Well made reviews like this helped me make my decision and helped me be confident in it! Appreciate the time you put in, well done man!!
Did you get these? I had the m audio av40s too, so I would like to know what's your opinion on these
@@leandrolutzg I received them and have thoroughly loved them, they pack quite the sound considering their size.
Good range with defined highs, mids and lows. I’m thinking about adding the sub just cause I want all the bass lol, but it’s not necessary for mixing at all!
I loved my AV40s but I was happy I made the decision to go with this set of speakers, I still use my AV40s just not on my main setup anymore!
@@carefulconstant1907 thanks for helping me! How do you think is the sound of the presonus compared to the av40s?
@@leandrolutzg I’d say the overall sound is an improvement over the AV40s!
@@carefulconstant1907 nice, thanks!!
Been mixing and producing on these for over a year now. Definitely worth it!
Also have had a Presonus interface for 8 years, need had any problems.
Great review!
I am in the market for the next two weeks before pulling the trigger. Do these 3 inch speakers need a sub, or are they good enough?
@@dontdoit6986 they could use a sub for sure..but if your music isnt super bass intense youll be ok
I have them since a few years back and I just love them, thinking about getting another pair actually
Watching (and listening to) this video on my Presonus Eris 3.5's and agree with every word of this video :)
I've been looking for a nice small size studio monitor style speakers for music production, for my small space. It seems like this might be my choice!
Funny thing! I have the Presonus 3.5 and The JBLs 8" just like you! JBLs as my main recording monitors and the Presonus for my daily listening/enjoying. Agree with everything you said. I love the warm and crispy quality these guys produce. Worth every penny!
Hello, Thanks for your review. I've just received my E3.5. They sounds awesome connected direct to my pc.
Can you make this sound better connecting to an audibox > pc? My usage is only music video and some video editing. Thanks
it was my quarantines last buy & they worthing every little cent spend!
Thanks so much for sharing about to get a pair. !
Man..the music..Love it!
Awesome review. Can you give some more info about that connection how it works. What's the best way to plug them in to TV?
Can’t believe you only have 3k subscribers you deserve more! Love the review
This is a second channel though. Our main channel has 120K+
Yo, i have a question.
Would it be better to use zoom g2.1u as usb audio interface compared to intergrated chipset on motherboard. Like, both rec. and playback?
Plan to use these as desktop speakers primarily for casual gaming and listening to music. Will having an audio interface make a difference? Thanks.
For just listening to music (mostly electronic ) would you get the edifier or the eris 3.5?
Would these be able to power 250 ohm headphones through the front's Phones out port?
I bought them in 2020 and today are still flawless. After a tons of reviews i choose to make an upgrade with Eris E5 for quality. Do you think is an major upgrade? Or i just need to focus on other brands like Adams,Krk etc ? Thanks a lot!
I really wish they added a sub output on the back panel..thats my only gripe with them..got them for 99 bucks on zz sounds..and im going to get thr 4.5" also.
can you make a review on Edifier r2000DB..
Funny...years following Nick and now thinking about buying those speakers and...Voilá. Nick have them :-) You're amazing.
Great video. Curious what that is you have mounted underneath the shelf near the monitor?
For casual listening, and not for any sort of music production, would you recommend i choose another speaker? If yes, what would you recommend at the same price range? Thanks!
I've been looking for a cheap pair of monitors and I think I'll give these a shot. I enjoy Presonus products I use that same audio interface and love the new update to Studio One 5
just ordered from amazon. i´m a bedroomm guitarrist and casual gamer, i think they´ll do the work
I've had my pair for about 1 year now. You can probably guess with this video that the Presonus Eris 3.5 speakers are a bit heavy on the bass. If you are looking to purchase this and your main activity is gaming and general media consumption beware that the high and mid ranges might be a bit overpowered by the strong base. This means footsteps are going to be low and explosions and high-caliber rifles are going to be loud AF. Then again... if you are playing FPS you will mostlikely have a pair of decent headphones... sooo doesn't mean much really :) GREAT SPEAKERS! I wouldn't replace / upgrade / change my pair for anything and when they die (if they die) I will buy another pair.
Siguen vivos?
Hi and thanks for your great videoes!! I have a question that I hope you can answer- question: Is a new studio monitor better than an old due to tecnology? Is it a bad idea to buy a used model with 10 year old technology and should I buy a new model instead?
Always the sick beats even on another channel? subbed lol yo man where IS that 100k on this one???
Soon lol
upgrading from my old sterling mx3, as they decided to die. bought these bad boys a few days ago, and expect that they’ll outperform the quality of the sterlings by a landslide. i plan to get a set of those 8” Rokits or possibly a set of Neumann’s later on though.
Are these speakers still worth it? And can i connect this with a turntable? (Lenco ls-50).
Thanks, great vid!
They are very good speakers, especially for mixing. I apprecciate their sound a lot of, so clean and so powerfull but after two years I have a tinnitus and I don't know if it depends by this spakers.
I want the 3.5 speakers for piano/keyboard playing. I think they’d be perfect for that use!
They look like good speakers for 2 years wow great vid
I was thinking of using the focusrite solo 3rd for my audio interface and using the xlr for my microphone and the TRS outputs on the rear for the presonus Erie e3.5s and then plugging my record player through the unbalanced rcas on the speakers. I’m fairly new to this and I was wondering if this would work or anybody sees any problems with this configuration ?
Hiw are they compared to the 5 inch woofer?? Would the 5inch be a major upgrade in sound?
I own the 4.5s and I love them.
Nice.
Have you tried the 3.5?
I'm caught between the two... 🤷🏽♂️
What audio interface would you recommend with these for video editing?
I'm thinking of getting these to use with an 1st gen ipad pro headphone connection to TRS input, would that be a good choice?
Woooooo First Upload!
are the E4.5 worth the extra 100 bucks? I am debating between the e3.5/e4.5......I kinda gave up on the Edifier 1850 that are $200
I may have the opportunity to get the Eris 5. I like a nice bass kick, do you think the 5 is worth the upgrade?
Hey great presentation. I have Line 6 Helix Guitar effects processor. I play my guitar through my Helix using headphones. Are these good alternatives?
So if you connect em to your PC through the normal 3.5 millimeter jack , they wont sound nearly as good ?
I've found when video editing that headphones are not enough, even if they're good open-back ones. You gotta unplug and hear what your video sounds like in the real world, on some half-decent speakers. What sounds clear through headphones (like a voiceover) may actually get a bit drowned out by background music etc when playing on speakers. So they really do help you 'monitor' your audio.
If the speakers are connected to an audio source via wire, can the bluetooth connection still be utilized by a different source?
Hi bro I have a problem with my presonus eris e3.5, when listening to a sound sometimes very strange hums are heard could you help me connect the speakers to a behringer u-phoria umc22 via two balanced jack cables (hums do not occur if i connect with an rca to jack cable directly to my laptop could you help me thanks
You deserve more subs! Great video work! Just curious, what's the song you played/used to demonstrate the speakers?
We make all the music on the channel as mentioned in the video
grsk.co/patreon
is it suitable for mixing music?
Loved the demo track you played around 5:00, what’s the name of it? Would love to buy. Cheers!
Can i connect them with my scarlet solo 3rd generation?
I keep seeing some reviews stating a hum or hiss coming from the speakers when on, but not being used. Have you encountered this?
Hallo:) great review! I`m interested in those speakers to use them as a computer speakers. I own a usb DAC Toping d10, can i connect them to computer throught that DAC? and would it rsolve that unbalanced siglnal issue?
hello there!i am searching to buy speakers for pc...presonus 3.5 or 4.5?are 4.5 better than 3.5?
i noticed that the EQ gains were turned all the way up...is that the setting you had for the sound test?
Can I use these speakers as front left and right in a 5.1 set up?
