PreSonus ERIS E3.5 Studio Monitors - The BEST $99 Speakers You Can Mix On?

Full review of the PreSonus ERIS E3.5 Studio Monitors. We'll check out what's included, go over the features, see how to hook them up to your computer or audio interface, and demo what they sound like vs. larger 8" monitors.

#PreSonus #StudioMonitors

The PreSonus ERIS E3.5 studio monitors are a huge "bang for the buck".

These monitors have no business sounding as good as they do for their size and price.

No, they are not "the best monitors in the world", but they are pretty amazing for small, inexpensive speakers, that you can actually mix on.

The are well balanced and relatively flat. The top-end is clear and crisp, the midrange is articulate, and the low-end is tight and punchy.

Now, don't expect a rumbling, deep low-end! These are 3.5 inch speakers after all and physics are still a thing. But, the amount of low-end they do have is impressive. After you learn these monitors, you'll be able to mix with confidence that your mixes will translate to other systems. You also have the option of adding in the matching ERIS 8" Sub if you need to hear that extreme bass.

The ERIS 3.5 monitors are perfect for beginners who don't want to invest a ton of money into speakers, but also need something they can mix on.

They are also perfect for more advanced mixers who just want something small, or they want an extra set of monitors to check their mix on.

And the ERIS E3.5 also perform well as standard computer speakers, or for video editors, gaming, and anyone who wants small, flat speakers, that won't break the bank.

By the way, these things get VERY LOUD! Way louder than I ever expected.

Plus there's some cool features like an AUX input on the front to quickly connect your phone, tablet, or even laptop.

They also have a 3.5mm (1/8") headphone input right on the front of the monitors. And, when you plug your headphones in, the speakers are bypassed - which is a nice feature.

If you want some small monitors that you can mix on, then these are worth a look. 👍👍

Man THANK YOU! So many reviews on YouTube are stupid. It seems many are unnecessarily chatty or cute. You cut right to the chase and didn't waste my time.

[morganm]

I feel lucky to be starting out at a time that monitors of this quality are fairly inexpensive compared to what they once were. Awesome review!

[brunoteixeira]

I have a pair of those recently and can confirm: I am pretty impressed with the overall quality!!

[dannycampbell]

I have the 3.5's, 5's and the presonus 8" sub woofer hooked up to the presonus monitor station v2 in my studio. I am very happy with the set up, I have a couple of friends with studios locally, they like to double check their mixes at my place for any wayward frequencies.

[JunG]

These are great speakers, bro. Seriously. 95% of your mix should be on these monitors before you verify your low frequency and separation with the big guys. This shit will save your ears and allow you to mix for a LONG TIME. I got mine on sale for $69/pr a couple of years from Bezos shop. Thumbs up on this. Alternatively, you can use this as AURATONE mono speaker alternative. These are BETTER than those.

[davidreidy]

Finally got the Eris 3.5.Theyr'e great!The lows are just right where they need to be for my taste, the mids/ highs are nice and clear and not drowned out by the low end which plagues a lot of monitors at this price point.turned up some classic rock and funk, followed by track I mixed and it all sounded pretty rad.Glad I got these bad boys.🤖⚡

[nilesrodriguez]

I have these and they are a great value for the price. If you want more power you can always go for the 4.5 or the 5.5 models too. All are fantastic. :)

[AleArzMusic]

Just bought them. They sound super cool for 99$. Great product

[blkbeauti]

I live in a 550 sq ft studio apartment, these kick some butt with my turntable. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

[MrThomAce]

Finally, a good review video to show the capabilities of these small speakers. I need some reference monitors for mid-high range exactly, since I'm having a PA system that works from 25Hz up to 20KHz, but starting the system every time is not good and can easily kill my ears. :D So, I glad that I found this video. As you mentioned exactly: These are "flat" and not coloring the sound. This is exactly what I need as very small form factor reference speakers. Thanks for this great review! It really helps me to make the final decision.

[busywl]

I felt like I stole them after setting them up and working on them. Great companions to my HS8's. NIce review.

I own these . You can indeed trust your mixes will translate well to other end user mediums i.e cars, home systems etc..# 2 In a nearfied environment 10 to 15 watts per side is stupid loud, 5 to 7 watts the norm for extensively long mix sessions ( 3 to 5 hrs.) #3 Zero ear fatigue as opposed to NS 10s, KRKs . I still prefer analog recording and vinyl ( yes cassette based) so getting south of 80k or north of 20khz is a non concern for me but if you're making beat heavy music a small sub wouldn't hurt I guess but it's certainly not necessary if your mix skills are good.# 5 the small size is actually an asset IMO, less room to contend with you can get right on top of these puppies and that in conjunction with a good pair of cans and you're golden. I record to a Tascam 424 MK III and I couldn't be more satisfied with my mixes One doesn't need 3 k monitors, 3 k mics, 3 k this 3 k that to make good records. One needs soul

[Lycan__]

Had these for 2 years..they arw exceptional. Use them for DJ practice and PC. Didn't know they had a sub available. I'll pick up the sub next!

[kingie]

100USD level is long time divided between Mackie(tuned more for bass party thumping), M-audio(flattest tuning for monitors, but detail clarity is questionnable) and these (clarity trough emphasized highs, tends to v-sound rather than flat). But now, there is new kid on the block - recommending to check Edifier MR4 costs only 30bucks more, and outperforms these in both tuning and details.

[guky]

Thank you for the review, you've convinced me to get a pair :D I'm not professionally making music, I'm just doing it as a hobby, and I think they're good enough for that - given I was using my headphones to mix :D

[damianchadwick]

Great review have just got these ordered for my home studio, great content and info on this channel thanks for what you are doing dude

[kingyart]

These speaker’s are legit for the price point! I saw slightly bad reviews on Amazon. People need to understand you get what you pay for. They sound good and get the job done they don’t sound like my Yamaha hs8’s but for $99 bucks they are awesome and actually are worth more in my opinion.

[FanPhys]

Great review, very succinct. I was tempted by the Alesis Elevate 3 MKII but have since decided these are superior based on the number of positive user experiences.

[rubythursday]

i've had my 3.5's w/BT for almost 2 years...they make GREAT PC speakers. I upgraded to the 4" model without BT and moved the 3.5s to the kid's keyboard (also sounds great now). The 3.5s sound very good for what they are but I would not call them 'great' mixing speakers nor flat. That said, they don't cause me stress listening to them for hours on end. I've been using them for background music and Team's/Zoom meetings since 2021.

[besttechnicalfriend]

Sir your video is so informative and quality of video is so good.. Thank u so much for this video...
