" ... these speakers are a huge upgrade! ... "
" ... Incredible sound and adaptability for any set up in a small speaker. ... "
" ... I have never owned good speakers before, and I adore these. ... The stereo separation is amazing, and the fidelity is much better than what I'm used to from cheap computer speakers. ... I've spent the last week just re-listening to music I already thought I knew. ... "
" ... The nice thing is that one can adjust frequency response to a degree and get fuller sound than sterile studio monitors. ... "
" ... I wanted something with above-average sound quality at a price that wouldn't hurt my feelings if they somehow got damaged during transport. ... It's always best to be skeptical about the type of claims I'm going to make here, especially when it comes to speakers or headphones that you haven't personally had the opportunity to audition before buying. ... Because I purchased these speakers for mixing, I was most interested in how they perform at low-to-moderate levels. ... At low volumes, they deliver audio with impressive clarity. ... I produce primarily electronic rock music, so being able to hear and understand what's going on at the bottom of the mix is extremely important in most of what I do. ... I'll need to upgrade at least two other parts of my vinyl chain before I can feel like it has outgrown these speakers. ... To sum this all up, these monitors sound far better than they have any right to, considering their size and at the price they're being sold for. ... I won't waste your time waxing poetic about the subjective, unquantifiable aspects of the sound these monitors produce, but I can't emphasize enough that you'll get more than your money's worth out of these. ... If you have realistic expectations of what near-field monitors of this size and price will sound like, you'll probably be just as impressed as I was. ... "
" ... These speakers are awesome!!!!!!! ... I love being part of the music, feeling it . ... more than just listening to it. ... but rather by putting you in the middle of the sound. ... I have never had speakers that immersed me in the sound so well. ... I am not a musician nor do I do recording/mixing, I just love clear and crisp music where you can actually hear individual instruments as if you were in the presence of the musicians. ... They do not have a colored sound profile, it is pretty flat as there are intended to be studio monitors. ... I really like the many adjustments that can be made to these speakers . ... Currently I have them setup as computer speakers. ... I do plan on adding a tube pre-amp DAC just to clean up the sound even more. ... I listened to Rocket 5's, JBL 305's, M-Audio Bx5 and my favorite were the BX5's. ... Overall I'm very satisfied with these speakers. ... I certainly would recommend to anyone looking to have amazing sound in a computer speaker setup. ... "
" ... But man, do I have to say that these sound amazing. ... "
" ... I am impressed by the build quality and sound they produce. ... "

" ... Which means they don't have a lot of bass. ... "
" ... The bass and sub-bass response isn't going to shake your foundation, but it's more than good enough for my purposes. ... Again, the bass won't rock the house, but it's there and it gives you just what you need if you know what to listen for. ... "
" ... I have not broken these in all the way, but I can hear them loosening up a bit (some bass notes are sounding smoother than when I just unboxed them). ... "
" ... Much nicer bass than I expected for the driver size here. ... "
" ... I don't care much about the lows because I have a sub woofer paired with them but these do pack a good punch themselves. ... "
" ... Bass is decent. ... "
" ... The bass is deep and fill any room. ... "
" ... 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. ... But I find the E5 can produce enough bass to satisfy my everyday need. ... "

" ... Great sounding speaker for the cost. ... "
" ... The Eris E44 is worth every cent. ... "
" ... At the time I purchased these, they were selling here for just under $200. ... "
" ... Overall I really like these speakers for mixing and listening, and I think they are great for the price. ... "
" ... Very good for the price ... "
" ... Price is fair. ... "
" ... Way much better than Mackie CRBT4 and for the same price. ... "
" ... 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. ... If you add that to the money you spend, you won't spend more if you buy 8-inch speakers right away. ... "
