  • Nice bass and wide "sweet spot"
Size: 7" Near Field Studio Monitor Pattern: Monitor
I bought these and Kali's LP-6 monitors at the same time to try them both out and ended up keeping these. The E7 XTs were easier to use in my untreated office/studio (standard bedroom) due to a wider listening zone thanks to the waveguides (although the LP-6 also adjusted pretty well to the room too, but hadf a much narrower sweet spot). There's more control over EQ adjustments with the E7 XT than many monitors in this price range, which is great for tailoring acoustics to your space. The main reason I went with these is that the bass is much better on the E7 XTs, as it extends a little lower and is more assertive than the LP-6 (but still quite realistic). Overall, the imaging is solid: you can definitely tell where things are located in the mix and they reveal fine details well. I do have to mention that imaging is a little sharper/more clear on the LP-6, but theres less EQ control and the bass is noticeably weaker on the same tracks. If you're in it only for the imaging (not overall sound reproduction) and you have a separate subwoofer, the LP-6 might be for you. Since I'm not using a subwoofer (yet), I went with these, so I can mix low end more easily. I do plan on getting one of the PreSonus subwoofers in the next few months. I get the feeling after playing with these speakers that they would work really well with a sub, because they sound amazing when you engage the low bypass to 80hz. TLDR: +Great, assertive, and realistic bass for a 6.5 inch speaker +Good imaging and details +Easy to tailor to your space -A little bulky (check your measurements) ... show more

  • Sound great for price
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
I use almost every day. Good size and great sound. They get pretty loud and have a lot of clarity. Easy to connect and good sturdy build. all the volume controls are on the back but you don't need to mess with them one you get them set up. 3 types of connections so you are set!

  • Really phenomenal speaker.
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
This thing sound GREAT. I've got some issues since my PC doesn't have a great aux plug, this guy has a great range of sound. I did get this on sale, so it was only 80 bucks for me, but if you're a musician, or just someone who actually knows sound, I'm sure you'll like this. It's a solid build, very stable and fits nicely as part of a display, and just looks clean overall. You will need to find somewhere near enough to an outlet to plug it in, since it uses a USB cable to power (I have it plugged into my PC, and it still runs fine.) DEFINITELY worth it on sale, but only buy full price if you *really* want it, just because it's so pricey. ... show more

  • Excellent monitor for producers
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
Excellent monitors at a great price. I was worried about these not having enough bass, but I've found I don't even have the room acoustics to hear all the low frequencies these E5s are putting out, so they are fine for my current needs. The acoustic space correction switch is really useful as well. The sound quality, clarity are excellent. They go WAY louder than the pain threshold of my ears. The only downside is an audible white noise that I think is just a feature of the amps they use. This is easily rendered inaudible by increasing the input volume and turning down the volume on the back of each speaker, or just as easily ignored, as it's barely audible anyways. Overall, these are excellent; perhaps the best monitors at this price point on the market. Everyone who listens to music on my E5s is impressed, and so am I. These are perfect for producing on and great to just listen on as well. Nice one, Presonus! Update: Still great one year later! I've found in my small, poorly treated space the E5s sound best with the acoustic space setting at -4db and also -2 or -3db down on the High EQ. I use a sub Lowpassed at 88hz, but I do NOT use the Low Cutoff on the E5s- they already have an 80hz rolloff in the frequency response and sound too thin with the Low Cut, IMO. This setup sounds fantastic in my room; my references are full and detailed. ... show more

  • Presonus Eris 5 vs. JBL LSR305 Monitors
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
The media could not be loaded. PreSonus Eris E5 is an excellent, small, beautiful monitor. It is a bit warm with excellent bass response, and very nice build quality. With three inputs (XLR, 1/4" and RCA) and both a high and mid boost dial, it provides a lot of options. The front-side port is great for the (common) desktop or against the wall placement so many people use. The biggest con I have with this is that I got distortion at volume levels that I felt I shouldn't be getting it at considering the 102 DB SPL and 80 watts of power. With that said, it's a solid speaker that you can feel good about owning. I've attached a video of me comparing it against the JBL SLR305, which is in a similar price category and gets similarly great reviews. The differences are highlighted in the video, including: Eris Pros relative to JBL LSR305: Much smaller for the same speaker size and power output (and weight) Front bass port, making them better for near-the-wall placement many people will prefer Produced a richer, bassier sound than the JBLs, despite their higher HZ rating and smaller size... impressive Aesthetically more pleasing... modern, expensive looking, clean deisgn, esp the kevlar cone and lit logo Requires quite a bit less input volume to attain the same output volume (contrary to the SPL rating... so I find JBL's numbers suspicious) RCA Input for additional input options w/o modification - helpful for people outputting from their computer or other component without 1/4" or XLR outputs More fine-tuning adjustments for mid and high as well as room on the back of the speaker. Eris Cons compared to JBL: Breaks up more at the same volume (this was on bassy dubstep with lows and highs... they started to get muddy and a bit broken up) Has a less efficient A/B class amplifier, gets warmer Not as good at capturing highs, not as flat (good for home use though, but I question the accuracy in mixing) A bit more expensive Narrower "sweet spot" making less ideal for "whole room" uses ... show more
