3:44 Correction: JBL have the tweeter. 0.75 inch and it's right in the middle of the woofer.
Thanks for saying this! I was like “huh?”
That's why influencers shouldn't be doing tech reviews, I was listening to the video on my 104s and I can't believe how you can't notice the tweeter having the speaker infront of you lol
@@danieleth1574 I thought exactly the same, I guess he just doesn't have any idea that coaxial speakers exist.
for anyone not familiar with this, check out kefs. this arrangement works amazingly well. crossover is smooth.
JBL 104's do have a tweeter, Coaxial 4.5-inch (118 mm) LF driver and .75-inch (19 mm) soft-dome HF driver deliver full-range fidelity.
What kind of "review" is this if he doesn't realize that the JBL 104's have a high end driver. Is it that he doesn't understand what a coaxial speaker is?
I was just writing the same thing then deleted after seeing your comment. Hahaha.
Just a namesake review to rack in moolah
My Eris 3.5 just arrived and it is amazing. Stereo space is wonderful and helps a lot with mixing.
If you are in to vocals more than bass, go for the 104s, the reason is because they have a full range driver instead of a regular mid-woofer with soft suspension, the lack of bass is nothing you can't fix with an rca-spliter, I paired mine to a 10 inch klipsch subwoofer and it sounds amazing!
What do you recommend if you’re into both, vocals and bass? My budget is $200 for small speakers like these
@@NokyEffectz definitely go for a creative labs t100/t20, I prefer the t20 since it has 2 drivers in each speaker + an oil tweeter also, but the t100 has bluetooth and thats a game changer!
coaxial drivers are not full range drivers
This helped me out a lot. I've just started studying music production at Uni and needed good student friendly budget monitors for my basic setup in my dorm room.
Thankyou so much, quality and honesty is what this channels about, cheers.
Awesome!! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!!
allot
@@encboys3210 Lol, didn't see the typo, cheers 👍🤣
@@awonderingoneil206 what did u pick?
@@bhaveshtochabbra6853 Went for M audio bx5's in the end, Ive had a bad run with with Mackie and power issues with the Presonus.
Have'nt had any issues so far, for the price, sound quality and overall build I'm happy really.
Would you these are portable. Toss them into a bag and go? Thanks for the video!
Amazing video my prince 😍
Your videos are so helpful, bruh your content is great to watch
Glad you think so! Thank you so much for all the support!! 🙏
believe it or not, when it comes to sitting back & referencing, that midrange honesty of the JBL is really going to be more helpful despite being less than desirable to listen to for a prolonged tine... why do you think bookshelf speakers such as Yamaha, JBL or Auratone have been popular for decades? I cant listen to a pair of NS10's or my JBL 2000 series for longer than 30-40 mins without moving back to my JBL LSR's. I think i might grab a pair of these little JBLs for mobile purposes, theyre pretty neat!
Hey man!
Awesome review!
Which budget monitors would you recommend for making trap music? 😊
Go for the PreSonus Eris E3.5 💪🏼
Thanks for the effort!
HI GOOD MORNING , FOR THE JBL 1 Series 104 Studio Monitors WHAT ARE THE BASS PUNCH POWER? (BASIC RICH BASS,MEDIUM RICH BASS, OR ADVANCE RICH BASS LEVELS)?
I think the info is wrong that the jbl has no tweter, it has some sort of embedded soft dome tweeter
Hi! Are you able to connect a subwoofer to the Presonus?
What would u recommend for guitar monitoring?
The JBL has a Coaxial set up where in the Tweeter is in the middle, and it means it won’t have phase issues.
I wrote about they removed low cut feature from Eris 3.5 but it was never there. Some Amazon seller used wrong picture in the 3.5 product resulting in this confusion and the CZcams videos showed 5inch but looked small like 3.5 so that caused the confusion. 3.5 has 80Hz limit and 4.5 70Hz so they sell it as media monitors.
Thanks for the update!!
The JBLs do have a tweeter. They are a concentric design which typically produce better imaging from their single point source radiation.
I just purchased the jbl 104's and I find the audio is louder and bass deeper in the master unit. Have you any experience with this? I'm just using the rca cable provided, would balanced leads resolve the issue?
Balanced cables are always my preference when it comes to monitors and using them does make a big difference. Great set of monitors btw 👌🏼
Test it yourself! Try to reverse the RCA cables to see if volume is louder on one side.
Also, does your source have a "balance" setting? Make sure it is properly setup.
Pretty sure TRS cables won't change your volume difference issue.
how do i use acoustic tuning work on the e3.5s? what parameters should i change- like if i place them in the corner should i decrease bass?
Try and use the KRK app to see how the acoustics sound in your room, then go from there.
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you!!
If I connect the trrs cable to the phone via the headphone input on the front of the loudspeaker, will I be able to record the sound directly to the phone and at the same time listen to music from the speakers, thank you for your help, The speakers will be connected to the tablet from which the music will go via Rca-jack 3.5
I’d say.. I purchased the JBLs and they are the best speakers ever. They sounded so good
I don't know. Im using ps3.5 in my home studio, but in my headphones, the sound is so much richer, and I don't have to raise my lows, but as soon as I switch over to my Pre-sonis 3.5's the sound is far more tinny and lows are far less. I have to go into my daw to increase my lows on the channels needed, to get a descent sound. These are great! And sound great, but maybe im doing something wrong? Maybe I need a monitor with greater bass response. I want to make sure my mix will sound good on other media players, not just my system. Im using logic pro, scarlett 2i2, dbx 286s, newest mac, pre-sonis 3.5's. I just have to work hard to get the balance needed, on playback. am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I ended up buying the Presonus in part thanks to your videos. I'm very pleased with them. They work perfectly for what I need it. I do have a question about them. I hooked them to my PC and I have two options. The 3.5mm Y to 2 RCA (sounds a bit louder) and a 3.5mm Y to two 1/4" (not the TRS, I have mono 1/4"s) which one should I use? The rca is noticeable louder but the 1/4" seems to produce a louder signal on the headphone jack of the speaker. Also, should I upgrade to 1/4" TRS? Would it make a difference? Thanks
Get u some trs cables they give u a balanced sound.if u have a interface of course
Hello! It is clear that Presonus is not a studio monitor, it is Hi Fi, it "colors" the sound too much. Which monitor is more neutral, JBL 104 or M-audio bx4? I'm looking for a compact monitor for playing guitar.
the JBL was designed to be listened off axis (should be placed below ear level on a desktop) they have a different frequency response when you listen to it on ear level.
Oh wow. Thanks for that little piece of info. I have mackie 8's lol. But I want some small speakers for lower placement. So, super helpful info. Thanks.
To that time, I used the speakers of my Altec Lansing MX5021 system for music listening and for hobby studio work. Now, the aforementioned speakers are not tuned for monitoring, I am sure. Will the Eris 3.5 make a big difference? I plan to check my spoken word recordings on it (recorded by an SM7B mic), do singing practices and general mixing.
Thank you in advance, great work here!
Thank you for watching!! The PreSonus Eris E3.5s are just the best for the price. For referencing they are perfect. They are a little to small for perfect monitoring but overall, they will give you better results than your current Altec speakers 💪🏼
altec is really stupid to stop production on mx5021, they should add 50$ more to it and further improve it, it would be a killer
@@dkbaghel123 Agreed! It's a great set!
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thanks, Edward! Will try them out soon!
Which condenser microphone is better AT2020 or AKG P220
Yes I was just thinking of you!!!!
Thank you for coming to watch!! 🙏🏼
This speakers are better than jbl flip 6?
Should I consider this one over flip 6??
I'm not a sound producer or anything like that!! But I love to listen musics!! I listen to music almost all day long!! Should consider it or not?? Thank U🙂
Can I turn off startup sound in JBl 104?. its very annoying..... :(
I think the Presonus sounded much better. Crisper, more detailed sound with a more balanced bass. For gaming or general listening I think the JBL would be fine, as would the Presonus, but for studio referencing I think the Presonus has the edge. There seemed to be more instrument clarity. Just my opinion of course.
I 100% agree! Thanks For Watching!! 🙏
Agree with that, which is why I went with the Presonus myself and have not been disappointed. Maybe because the main woofer is kevlar and it has a 1" tweeter the same as in it's bigger brother and larger than some of the competition, so pretty good for their smallest reference speaker. the sound of course is excellent.
@@ralphtaylor9968 I got a little upset watching this, I was eyeing the personus on amazon but someone nearby me is selling the JBL’s for 50 bucks on fb marketplace. So I think I’m just going to go for those. I’m not really doing anything too serious at least not yet so it’s not the biggest deal in the world but why couldn’t they be the presonus 😭
@@IAmCjcj11 not a big deal, presonus srent professional studio monitors either. Anything thats 99 dollars probably isnt going to provide accurate mixes. And the jbls probably sound better than the presonuses atleast more pleasing. For now the JBLS will do but later on you might want to invest a good 300 bucks in a good pair of monitors unfortunately monitors are pretty expensive so 300 dollars for a pair of monitors is pretty low end.
To me it sounded as thought the Presonus hypes the treble more rather than it being necessarily clearer, it is louder comparitively. While the Presonus certainly has more presence in the highs and upper mids the JBL definitely has better lower mid and bass and a more balanced sound overall to my ears. Obviously you would want a subwoofer to compliment these if they were your only monitors but they both sound pretty good for the price.
Bro, those JBL indeed have a tweeter. It's 0.75" and it's coaxial. that means it's located in the center of the bigger driver. It's a design that claims for phase alignment, hence improved midrange, in short words.
@@EdwardSmithMusic even you? how did you do a review and not know the bare basics of the speaker your video is reviewing? that sounds harsh but i am being serious
I recently got me some Presonus E5 XT's and absolutely love them. They are on stands, connected from a laptop through a Scarlett, the best TRS cables etc.
For Bluetooth convenience from my phone I just now purchased the E3.5 BT too (cheap!), set them up to stand on top of the E5's and I am actually 'shocked' at how good these damn things sound. The tweeters are the same and although the 3,5's have rear-facing woofers they, in my room anyway, are damn near as good as the 5's. They sound effing fantastic, go for it.
Thx I want to buy them but do I have to buy 2 of them? Or they sell it by pairs?
@@GabbyOfficial- I forget, the E5's may have been a surprise I had once, where I had to order the second one. Or it may have been a different set. So... dbl-check just in case. I see that there are Bluetooth E5's available now, I would get that better version.
I later purchased the Eris SUB and love having that. Would be especially good for if you are going the E3.5 direction.
@@dogzillamonster what's the name with bluetooth on it?
@@GabbyOfficial- Not sure if this a repeat, so just in case: Make sure that if you get the new E5's they include BT in the name.
@@dogzillamonster Ok thanks brother God Bless you.
I like something small ...I have been waiting for these..I am buying mixcubes also..
Great!!
Hi! Which one you recommend if I play guitar (metal) on my computer?
THX for the nice video!
Definitely the PreSonus Eris E3.5... Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@EdwardSmithMusic thx!!!! 🤘
Did you buy it??
Which audio interface did you use to test the comparison? I am using JBL 104 but the volume is very low using TRS connection even at max volume.
Scarlett solo
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thanks!
Both of these speakers WILL offer accurate mixes, and remember, they are designed and marketed as reference (studio-monitor) speakers. They provide a relatively neutral playback of all frequencies, which is what you want for mixing. Because of their size, they WILL be lacking in the bass reproduction area, so when using these for editing, one must always keep that in mind, (meaning you'll have to do some guess-work in tweaking-up your bass in the mix.) They are not perfect monitors, but there is an actual advantage to these charming units: Because of their smaller size and lower wattage, they will not carry their sound as far a distance and big monitor speakers. This is perfect if you work in an environment where you don't want to wake up your neighbors next door in the middle of the night, or have your mother beating down on your door yelling bloody murder. Not only that, but they look cute and adorable (especially the round ones) on either side PC. Perfect for those to travel a lot, or have a small room.
The JBL 104 is 200 bucks in my area. I went with the 3.5.
YO GUYS, quick question: the E3.5 have a headphone jack in the front. Is the audio output for the headphones good quality? Bc I have quite good IEM's (Sennheiser IEM 300), I wondered if I can plug then into the monitors without loosing audio quality instead of putting them into the mainboard directly.
I have and wouldn’t recommend since they are cheap…. Imagine every part of the signal chain, can introduce a noise floor. As direct monitoring as you can for best clarity.
definitely getting the presounes asap
Great choice!!
I'm ordering the JBL 104bt speakers for my own podcast studio
Can they both pair up with a subwoofer?
if my room doesnt have any acoustic treatement shuld i get studio monitor or a gfood pair of headphones?
PD: i can't affort both.
Thank you for your videos, they are very usefull!!
Get headphones rather!
@@EdwardSmithMusic please recommend me a good cheaper headphones :)
@M P thank you
i'm so glad i saw this video. i just ordered a set of the jbl 104's last night from amazon and immediately cancelled and ordered the presonus eris 3.5s once hearing that sound test. the jbls sounded super muddy in comparison like the clarity was really obvious almost as though it was a whole different audio coming thru. i need something that isn't too expensive but accurate enough to mix better with besides only using headphones and it looks like these will be great. thank you for this review
Great choice 💪🏼
that's owsm video as u revived akai mpk mini 3 i purchased it but i am new to use it and i am not able to install the akai mpk editor plzz can u help me bro ... 🥺🥺
Thank you for useful video,I am voice actor and I need speaker monitor for Edit my vocal,which one is better?
The PreSonus Eris E3.5 are the best 👌🏻
Very detailed review! Nice!
so you said that the jbl's dont have tweeters but they are coaxial design and the tweeter is in the middle of the cone if you shine a little light through them you can see it
Am I getting right that the Presonus speakers have brighter trebles and the JBLs have punchier basses?
The Jble has a 3/4 inch tweeter in the center of the diver.
I recognize you from one of your previous videos. You're reliable!
Wow, thank you! Really means a lot!
The JBL is closer to $200 nowadays. Not sure what has changed.
I bought Eris 5BT, bigger and better sounding than 3.5, but the noise floor / hiss was so unbearable with low volume or no signal that I returned them after a week. A friend told me that his 4.5s also have that annoying hiss. Bad job Presonus.
Best pair of low cost studio monitors for sure!!
Much love and appreciate! I’ve got question please! Which one is better PreSonus E3.5 or mackie cr4? Let me know please and thanks in advance 💐
I haven't tested the Mackie CR4's yet, but one thing that I can tell you is that the PreSonus Eris E3.5's are amazing!!
Presonus.
Thanks man love the vid im gonna buy the jbl1s
Glad I could help!
JBL es JBL para mi el mejor!
So i have a dount
If i have a ordinary room with no acoustic treatment should i go with a studio monitors or headphones?
Rather go with headphones... You will be using them anyway, even when you get studio monitors in the future. Watch this video to help you out - czcams.com/video/2TjB97VOc3s/video.html
@@EdwardSmithMusic thanks and another doubt will the headphones also sound exactly like monitors like same quality and frequncy etc?
@@blueflame8244 get the Sennheiser HD 280 pro.
@@DruGaTecH thnx :)
Just ordered the JBL 1 Series 104 Studio Monitors!
Awesome!!!
Is the jbl your using the newer or older version
I think It might be the older version... not to sure!
Does JBL 104, has sub woofer output?
Are they noisy just sitting there? Because I make ambient music, this is the MOST important thing to me now, after my horrible experience with a pair of JBL 305p Mkii, which just sat there, hissing at me! :-(
No they aren't noisy at all!!
@@EdwardSmithMusic After researching the heck outa this, I have discovered that
1) the ability to hear white noise varies quite a bit between individuals, 2) all budget powered speakers suffer from "thermal noise" coming from the speaker's amp, and while JBL is as loud as it gets, other similar speakers won't be much better.
I'm actually about to try using my passive speakers and digital amp in my studio to test this. :-)
@@EdwardSmithMusic Yeah. It turned out the noise was coming from them being incompatible with my old-ass desktop computer. lmao
I'm in dilemma.. Should I buy e3.5 or save for e5? Which one has better clarity 🤔
Save for the bigger monitor... you won't regret it!
I'd say that you should still think about 3.5 if you want clarity. Presonus eris 5 has a stronger bass response also at upper bass register. That feature thows a blanket over the midrange, sounding as if there would be a "loudness" on. The smaller and bigger Presonuses sound very different, actually. 3.5 sounds clearer and 5 sounds fuller and bigger. But they are totally different sounding speakers for different needs.
@@seppoinnanen5577 That's why I decided on the 3.5's with an added sub
Bro, Presonus Eris 3.5 or Edifier MR4? THnkssss!!
Alesis
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thnks bro🙏🏼
Music production mixing master, vocal edit ? JBL or Presonus
Presonus all the way - amzn.to/3sqxbPu
@@EdwardSmithMusic thanks !
Just bought the Eris 3.5 BT monitors, waiting for them to arrive. I chose the 3.5 because the highs are better than the 4.5 and I can easily add the eris 8 inch sub to achieve my lows. And I just feel like the combo of the 3.5 and the sub would be a better range. I could be wrong, but it was just my way of thinking. Either way, I’m sure I’ll be happy with the sound.
My Eris 3.5's arrived today and I'm waiting for my Elac 1010 powered sub to arrive, with the same thoughts you have. I want clear AND beefy
@@SisterFromAnotherPlanet Awesome! Let me know how that sounds, I'm sure it'll sound great because as you know by now, the 3.5's already sound nice on their own.
@@Mr.MikeTaylor Will do! They sound amazing already, I can't wait for just a little more warm gravy :)
I bought them instead of a sound bar for my TV and there is more than enough bass without a sub... a sub will MEVER hurt tho.
The presonus are much better in highs and mids, and you can add the Eris 8 subwoofer, or better yet, just get the Eris 4.5 BT, they kill both, and negate the need for a subwoofer.
jbl tiene años de experiencia en todo los que es audio,,pressonus no,yo me inclino por jbl,laidea quesea coaxial es buena
Awesome Review, I think the Presonus Eris 3.5 high's sound's better than the JBL's
I agree!! Thanks for watching!! 🙏
All these monitors needs AC power ?
Yep 👌🏼
I own both. JBL wins. Both are great entry level speakers but the JBL are more balanced in regards to sound and for my ears at least they are better for longer listening session. Much more body to the sound with the JBL and far better build quality.
I have speakers Presonus 3.5 and they need a subwoofer because there is not enough bass. Their sound is very high quality.
I agree!
Question. What if we boost the bass on the studio monitors to compensate the lack of bass? Will the result and quality be affected? I'm new to this that's why I'm asking!
@@B1gWw That depends to what you understand as lack of bass. Do you mean that you want your speakers just to be loud window-shaking? Or that you want your speaker to be able to reproduce bass down to 20 Hz in a flat manner (as you would expect from a studio monitor)? If you just want loud window-shaking bass you can just crank it up on the speaker, sound quality will suffer a bit (you will get a muddy sound) depending on how much you crank it, but you will be able to get that "bass". If, on the other hand, you mean that you want the full bass range to be reproduced but a natural not window-shaking way, then you definitely need to add a properly calibrated sub, because no 5" speaker will be able to reproduce 20 Hz due to physical constraints. Now remember, a properly calibrated subwoofer should not be "heard", it should only be "felt".
i have them both and used the same sub on both. the 104 is more balanced and prefer the mids plus it can almost keep up with the sub unlike the eris 3.5.
You do notice that you named the monitors wrong in your thumbnail right?
Oh my bad! It was a long day yesterday 🙈😂
@@EdwardSmithMusic no problem, at the end of the day we're all human😂😂... Anyway cool video bruhh... Just wanted you to know❤❤
@@guang_rem Wholesome
You never commented how they differ in sound, Its hard to hear on this side but the jbl sounded very canned so I wont be biying those after all
Yeah, the JBL didn't sound as clear as the others. Just ordered the presonus myself after watching a ton of reviews that all said that for the price range they are the best you can get.
@@thesquirreltangent523 do these speakers hiss when music is not playing? Is it a big problem?
@@OrganistaAndrzej I never had a problem with that.
@@OrganistaAndrzej Mine arrived today and zero hiss. Beautiful and clear
These jbl 104 are 189 dollars on anything I've looked and they look good in the white color but I dont see them being better than Yamaha
JBL ain't close to Yamaha.
I'll Love to buy the Presonus Eris 3.5 from you if Yours is up for Sale...
I never found out which one was better.
Presonus Eris E3.5 for sure!!
Eris 3.5 have terrible booming on some tracks, which is a shame as overall they are excellent. but the booming kills it.
Stereo Separation sounded better on presonus, the hats sounded better too.
The jbl has an embedded .75 inch tweeter in the woofer I hope this guy knows that, thats called a coaxial speaker....
Maybe the specs have changed since the version you reviewed, but they are now 60 watts, 4.5” main driver AND 3/4” HF driver. And they cost $79 on Amazon. But great video otherwise. Thanks,
Thank you for watching!! 🙏🏼
Got a link to that listing on Amazon?
Eris sounds better to me 🙂
I am surprised you do not know that JBL has in fact a tweeter in the woofer itself...
Didnt even say which one is better. Both are good?
Both are good... but I would go Presonus.
What people say, warm sound sounds better
3:42 They do have tweeter straight in the middle!!!
It's sad that where I live these monitors cost more than 200 which sucks
Wow, that sucks!
I have the jbl 305 mkii
They are so good!!
I have owned both pair and the eris E3.5 is better in a few ways...the jbl 105 are a lil muddy so I recommend the eris monitors if you want to achieve a good mix
Presonus is cleaner and better.....
That’s why I don’t trust speaker monitors. The same song sounds so different in each. I trust my headphones more. I wouldn’t trust my mixes in an untreated room at all!
completely unrelated question but are you south african? i'm trying to learn the different styles and accents of english better.
The minute you said that the larger cone balances out the Eris with a tweeter I quit.
Absolutely nothing to do with each other.
The JBL has the tweeter in the middle of the driver
👍👍
JBL' s have 4.5 inch bass drivers not 4 and they are coaxial, which means they have also tweeters in the middle of those woofers...Just saying. Also, Eris E4.5 is the real rival to those due to the driver size and the price, at least here in my country they cost almost the same. So, despite I love JBL products and I definitely choose the 104's instead of Presonus ones, I still think this comparison is not fair enough, u should compare the E4.5' s as soon as u find the chance.
Why would you definitely choose the JBL over the Presonus?
@@taomahNEGEV JBL is always better at bass and also coaxial drivers are also generally much better than separate drivers and the last one, which is I already explained in my comment, they are 3.5, not the 4.5 variant which is exactly the same price here, so I still choose the JBLs, if this comparison was between the JBL 104 and Eris E4.5, that could be a different story.
@ Thanks but it is really hard to make the right choice here when the bass is not top of my priority.
@@taomahNEGEV u should consider E4.5 or Yamaha monitors if clear and flat sound with minimal bass is your priority. If not, u can also consider some Edifier speakers, the pro series especially.
@ Thanks for your help. I think I will go with the E4.5 or I am also checking out the Kanto YU2.
Top end on the Presonus would drive you nuts after an hour or two of editing!!!! JBL for me, it sounds more cohesive.
You can adjust the top end with the Eris, contrary to the JBL
Bro the moment i heard sound comparison....theres no comparison between them jbl is bad and presonus is crisp clear and has space...clear win!
