  • Sounds excellent
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
Sounds excellent after EQ adjustments. I only got one, cause it's all I need for my duplex. It's mainly for entertainment for my mics for karaoke. And my soundbar if for the music to tv. Perfect setup for my place without being to loud for neighbor. I got a huge 2000w speakers that I put in storage for real loud entertainment if I go house parties lol. This little speaker monitor works perfect for my setup now. Sounds awesome! Tip: Set it on a stand (w/ vibration pad), not just a desk. The sound is supurb when lifted to head level. Deep enough bass and clear. ... show more

  • Love em
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
Probably the best you're going to do in the $100 range. Sound quality and build are excellent for the money. I can't speak to longevity or customer service, only time will tell. I'm coming from a set of monitors that have 6.5 inch drivers and was concerned about low frequency response. These sound as good or better than my old monitors. I'd say the only drawback is they're not super powerful compared to some others offerings from companies like M-audio. Other than that I highly recommend them ... show more

  • E5's on stands with highs rolled off
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
I've had these monitors for maybe six months now. I'm honestly more of an audiophile music listener than a music production hobbyist but that is something I'm trying to get into. I got these to plug into the rca outputs of my interface and use the volume control on there. At first I didn't make any adjustments to the crossover and had the E5's just sitting on my desk. My first impression of the sound was pretty dang good except for the bass. These things do hit pretty low but the bass was very boomy and muffled, just bad sounding. I figured it was from how they reacted with my desk. Anyway I resolved this by getting the Musica speaker stands (search that in Amazon). With them on the stands but still having no crossover adjustment the bass problem was gone but I found them to have this "inside-out" characteristic that I can't stand. The sound was too soft and had no punch. I think it has something to do with low mids. I turned up the gain and mid knobs to almost 3 o' clock and rolled off the highs to about 11 o' clock. Low cutoff switch is flat and "acoustic space" switch is at -4db. Now the sound is balanced with great and some punchiness in a way I really like. I'm probably breaking a few rules in terms of proper audio monitoring for mixing but I'm enjoying the heck out of these for music listening and are doing the job for basic beginner music production. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Good choice if you have limited space and room treatment
Size: E5 Pattern: Monitor
It always is difficult to write anything general about monitors, for their sound depends as much on the acoustics of the space they are used in as on their quality. After some time in stores listening to various low-budget monitors, I had narrowed my options down to three: JBL LSR305, Yamaha HS5, and the PreSonus Eris E5. In the right surrounding, the HS5 seem to be the winner, at least to my ears. But these have the bass reflex port on the back, which means you have to place them at least 6 to 10 inch away from the wall for them to sound great. Since I am forced to place my monitors closer to the wall, monitors with the port on the front were the better option. And while the JBL also could sound fine in the right surrounding, the PreSonus beat the JBL because they allow you to calibrate high, mid, and to a limited degree the low frequencies (using a sweep signal and a decent microphone for calibration). That capability can be very important, depending on whether or not you can treat the room with bass traps, acoustic foam, and such. So, while there are better speakers out there in a similar price range, some of them are less suited for the sort of environment I am using the PreSonus in. Give the monitors a week before you calibrate them. The membrane becomes more flexible during that time and takes away some harshness you may hear in the beginning, though it was not an issue in my case. Some people report some hissing or humming when no music is played. I have experienced none of that. I don't know what cables and what type of audio interface those people are using, but the fact that many that report the problem don't say so, makes me wonder whether it's not merely the result of external interference that especially RCA cables are prone to pick up on. Other people complained about a pop sound when you switch them on. That can be an issue, but you can easily prevent it if you turn down your audio interface or switch the audio off on your computer when you start them up. Finally, I use the monitors in a small space and thus opted for a 5-inch speaker. However, be aware that those always will be limited with respect to the low frequency range they can represent. So, eventually you may consider getting a subwoofer in addition to the monitors. But those tend to be expensive. The Presonus Tremblor T8 currently goes for about $300. If you add that to the money you spend, you won't spend more if you buy 8-inch speakers right away. So that is something to consider as well. But I find the E5 can produce enough bass to satisfy my everyday need. But if you plan to mix your songs using these primarily, make sure to use headphones or other speakers as additional reference so that you can better pick up on some grumbling or muddiness in your mix. ... show more
