Minor detail. I like how clean and well organized the back is.

I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker today... saw the prices for comparatively terrible sounding speakers were INSANELY expensive for what they were.
I'm just going to buy some BT studio monitors.

Wait a second, don't you understand the point of 'standby'? Like really? These monitors, like their sub equivalent, go into standby when not being used and have a white led when in that mode. The back of the speaker gets room temp because it is only pulling enough current to keep the LED on and a small current to check for an input audio signal so they know when to turn on. Your analysis here on that topic doesn't make sense. They work perfectly fine in that way. I don't know how many mA they pull to keep them in standby mode, but rest assured, it is literally milliamps. Presonous implemented it very well and works great. Just because you see an LED on, you don't like it? Crazy bro. I think, in this case, the technology out smarted YOU. 😂. For budget studio monitors that are actually only $300 for a pair right now, they are fantastic. And the standby mode is hardly an issue. Their only issue might be more like that last 5% of true flat response you would get by paying 5x as much money. See, budget studio monitors get so close these days that all your getting by spending say $1500 for a pair is, well a different sound, because all studio monitors are going to sound different and that is purely subjective, but you get that slight last bit of accuracy based on build quality and component tolerance. But man, the amount of money you have to spend to get such a little difference is amazing. It really is a diminishing return situation. It's really more about how they sound to your ears as a subjective matter than it is that something 5x as expensive is 'better'. Can you mix hit songs on these, absolutely 100% without a doubt. Can you mix hit records on a pair of studio monitors that cost $2000 to $3, 000? Absolutely 100% without a doubt. Will you have an easier time using the $3, 000 pair of studio monitors? No not necessarily. Studio monitors are about learning what they sound like. Mixing is about learning what audio sounds like to you in the real world and then being able to translate that from a studio monitor during your mixing phase. Everyone does this slightly different, everyone uses slightly different studio monitors and in that process it truly is subjective and it is a skill, and art. These PreSonus Eris 5s are really solid budget studio monitors and they get a lot of work done in a lot of great ways, so much so that most of the people that are actually interested in buying these monitors wouldn't know a difference if they spent upwards of $3, 000. 😊 What ever studio monitor(s) you pick it's FAR more about learning them AND learning what you want them to sound like out in the real world then it is whether these studio monitors are 'good enough' for you, which in the VAST majority of cases, of the people targeting a $300 pair of studio monitors, they are.

Don't sweat the amp heat. These are class ab amps. They make heat as a result of the topology of the design. You don't have that with class d amps, but many prefer the sound of ab over d class. I have a pair of the E7 XT, and love them for a low priced mixing tool.

Great video! I am looking for speakers to listen to music and watch movies in my room. I almost bought the Edifier S2000MKIII, but then I found those speakers. I am wondering how the PreSonus 8 speakers would work, not for music production, but just for music listening.

[tektronix]

how is your ddj sitting up like that lol? Genuine question, I'm trying to save space with my setup

[BarışCanÇelik-xf]

Hi, thanks for the video. Very good review. I have a question, I am a drummer and I want to buy monitors for open music and practise with my students. Are these monitors gonna enough for me or should I think 8'' monitors? Thank you so much.

[krzysztofs.]

Hej! czyli które wyłączają sie automatycznie ?

[prabh]

[ziggystephens]

hello, I'm looking in to some budget friendly speakers, i want to get my young nephew (14yrs) in to DJing just a bedroom set up but i want speakers that he'll be proud to own would these be suited for his first set up...cheers

[holland]

I bought the Presonus 4.5 They have a bad static problem with just power so I am returning them and ordered a hs4

[willofgod]

I just got the presonus 4 new gen like this ones and are really good I just wanted to know does Krk classic 5 50 watt have more bass? I’m a bass kinda guy so I was thinking to buy those

[RupturedCatalystx]

I read somewhere that the mids were scooped out, and the gen 1 is better is that true?

[Mtvslime]

I have a small studio i mean small a walk in closet I’ll be using. Didn’t wanna use a whole room for that. But are these worth it ? And what do I use for them to stand up

[dragonstone]

Great video man. Can you review the pro version too?

[ВладимирБеляев-из]

Hi, can you please tell me if the speakers are so hot you can't hold your hand or just warm?

[javaniwheelidonparker]

Bro, is the link u provided for the pair or is it just a single speaker. I wanna buy them but I just want to be sure due to the size.

[KyawMyo]

I'm thinking about choosing between the Eris Studio 4 and the KRK RP5G4. Can you recommend which one I should opt for?

[mikkenieminen]

I am thinking about getting these for my tv.

[andreash]

I am eyeballing a set of used Yamaha Hs80m's which I could score for $330.
Just now discovered these exist and having some doubts.

The used Yamaha's fit my budget better, but these appear to be a bit more bass heavy, which I absolutely like.

Any thoughts between these two?
