Review: Great, Inexpensive Monitors, but Can Be Packaged with Wrong Power Cord - Keep in mind that I am not a professional; I am just a guy who likes music to sound good and likes making personal audio projects. The monitors look very nice, and they are very straightforward when it comes to hooking up the included cords. Dont be disappointed when hearing them for the first time; they're not made to sound good necessarily. Monitors are supposed to provide a flat response in order for the mixer (you) to get a clear, unbiased reproduction of the sound you are engineering. If you want them to sound better, play around with your equalizer. I have two profiles set up on my Realtek software. One is lively, with a Party preset for the equalizer and the environment set to Room, and the other one is just the default flat sound. You can also play around with the knobs on the back of the main monitor to adjust the highs and lows. The logos on my monitors don't light up when on; I thought they were supposed to. It's not too much of a bummer, but it would've been nice to see. I remember hearing something about breaking in new monitors when you get them. If the sound sounds weird no matter what you do, try playing bass-heavy music constantly for at least 24 hours. I'm pretty sure it is recommended that you do it for a longer time, but it's been a while since I heard how exactly the process works. Now I would like to mention my main issue with my order: the power cord that came with it was not made for the monitor. The monitor takes a figure-8 style plug, but I received one that is round on one side and square on the other. I registered my product on the Presonus website and filed a support ticket last Thursday. After an hour, they apologized for the inconvenience and asked for a shipping address, ostensibly to send me a replacement cord. I provided that information to them, but received no other updates. On Tuesday night, I decided that it was time my Paperweight 3.5s became Presonus 3.5s, and I ordered a power cable myself with one-day shipping. The one I got was the CIMPLE CO polarized double-round figure 8 something or other. It shouldn't be too hard to find on here. It's very cheap if you can hold off on the one-day shipping (which I didn't). For me it was about an extra 12 bucks that I shouldn't have had to spend, but I'm not mad. I'm just glad I can listen to my music without using headphones all the time. I am aware of at least one other reviewer who bought these this month (May 2018) and received the wrong power cord like me, so be prepared for that if you order these monitors, but don't let that put you off. There's nothing wrong with the equipment itself; it's just a packaging issue that may happen. So again, I am not a professional, but I like the way they look on my desk and the way they sound. I definitely recommend them, especially for the price.
Review: 3.5s that pack a punch! - To preface, I would describe myself as the poor persons audio enthusiast. I research as best as I can for the right product to buy within the right price point. And I must say that these speakers are stellar! If you have read the other reviews then you'll know what they are saying, at this price point, these speakers perform exceptionally well. I bought these to replace my Sony SS-B1000 which were also pretty great for the price, but they were aging and I needed something different. I was in the search for something smaller that would carry sound through the walls to a lesser extent (roommates). So the fact that these were near-field monitors caught my eye. As of my first day having them: I will say that the clarity of these speakers is magnificent for what they are. They also get relatively loud for compact 25W speakers (massively impressive). The Sonys that I had were 125W per channel, and I think these would get nearly as loud if I could crank them up fully (roommates). But these definitely beat out the Sonys in clarity. I mostly listen to House House House, Techno, Disco, Downtempo, Electronica, and a select few songs in the rap and "pop" genre. These speakers meet my needs in the low end (surprisingly full-bodied), and the mids and highs are clean and crisp. I will see how they sounds after a couple dozen hours of breaking in - which shouldn't be long - but I suspect that they will only improve. They have an ample amount of connections in the back, as many as higher-end studio monitors in most cases. My only caveat with them is that the treble and bass adjustment knobs are on the back of the speaker. This is only and issue for me because of my desk setup (speakers underneath a shelf with monitors above the shelf), as the knobs are a little harder to get to. Other than that, these are awesome speakers. Bottom line, if you are looking for something entry level that is still good quality, go for these, or the bluetooth version (I didn't get the BT version because I have Chromecast audio and Google home so it seemed overkill). -------- Will update if any issues are encountered --------

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with all the necessary cords to connect this to a computer? Is it rca trs or xlr?**
A: It depends on which speakers you order. The 3.5 and 4.5 come with everything necessary, but the 5 and higher definitely do not come with everything you need. Just the speaker and AC adapter.

**Q: Is the the Presonus E3.5 woofer speaker cone unprotected?  It appears to have no fabric covering as many speakers would have.**
A: Take a piece of t-shirt and bring it back and forth between your face and the monitors.. you will hear that even something like a tshirt of pantyhose, has a considerable effect on the sound projection. Also, having grills on the speaker looks cheap imo..

**Q: I am a Motivational Speaker, can I use these with a microphone when speaking to an audience of 75 people?**
A: There are better choices for that -- you want speakers with a built-in mic preamp, and probably higher wattage amplifiers. You may also want folding speaker tripods.
I suggest you puchase speakers designed for this, with a tripod screw hole on the bottom, and XLR mic inputs. For example, Bose EONS sound amazing for music as well.
You may also wish to purchase a good wireless mic.
Think of it as a system.
The size of the room and the audience determine the required size and power of speakers.

**Q: Do the Eris 4.5 mute themselves when a headphone is connected?**
A: Ideally they should, unless you’re using the Presonus Audiobox (or any other audio interface) and you connect headphones to that. In which case, they won’t mute.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***N on July 1, 2021*

Trust me, I spent way more than i should on speakers. I am no musician, I am just an average joe who wants a decent speaker for my PC. My Bose companion 2 failed after 11 months of use. My Creative T100 have popping noise issue My Logitech Z625 has wayyy too much bass. I finally found the speaker I've been looking for. - Delivery is fast, received them within a week. Having something sent from UK then to the US and finally to Sydney Australia is just amazing. - Sound quality is great, decent clarity with enough bass. little to zero background noise - Came in brand new with no sign of wear. They look cool too with that mat finish black coating, which is pretty much scratch proof. - The cone is well made, it feels like those cone you would see on a $300 speaker. My only concern now is how long this speaker will last, and if I had to be very picky. my only complaint is that this speaker came with UK adapter, not the US adapter advertised in the photo. (this is hardly a problem to me)
