What Reddit says about PreSonus

“I got myself PreSonus Eris e3.5s, generic tilting monitor stands, Apple USB-C DAC and cables for around 230 euros”

“Presonus E30 (?) and Klipsch 2.1 (?) are good $100 sets imo.”

“My budget PC set-up consists of: PreSonus Eris 4.5", PreSonus Eris 8" sub, Behringer U-Phoria UMC ~£370 with cables. Before this I had a Logitech z506 setup. This allowed me to listen to games and music at a quality that didn't make me want to put hot forks in my ears. My current setup is what I consider the budget end of a quality audio setup for a pc. You could do it without the sub and it would cost ~£220.”

“A legit strategy is to buy your speakers from Sweetwater. I'm running a pair of 3in Presonus active monitors that I'm pretty happy with. Presumably you can buy 4 and get surround sound too. Subwoofer isn't necessary because the speakers get pretty low on their own. You might be able to eek out a tiny bit more signal to noise ratio using a remote DAC but that could double the cost and I doubt you will hear the difference at normal volumes anyway.”

“I use my guitar interface as my sound card (focusrite scarlet solo, $150 or so) with a pair of small powered studio monitors (presonus eris e3.5, $99 for the pair) It has a flat, but clear response. It’s a dual use set up for me.”

“Below 150 the presonu eris 3.5 are the best speakers you can get and it’s not even close”

“these are terrible recommendations wtf lol. tiny overpriced audioengines that will sound worse than monitors half the price, and some weird shit from creative? the presonus monitors are the only thing on this list that makes sense.”

“I got a PreSonus set for ~$100 that are pretty good.”

“Same speakers but without bluetooth, Amazing speakers for the price, had them 3-4 years now, but I think I paid £60 for them from a cash convertors all still boxed.”

“i have the 4.5" version of these PreSonus Eris 3.5BT Bluetooth Studio Monitors, and they are... fantastic, i think i paid like $175 for the bigger ones, you should probably be able to find the 3.5's for around the hundred mark i would think.”

“In any case, the Creative Pebble V2 are superior to all the cheap shit from Edifier/Presonus that influencers are quick to take pictures/make sponso videos on Youtube/Instagram. Not at all ! Presonus and Edifier are so GoOd, BeSt QuAlItY pRiCe ! No. Just, no. The Pebbles have no coil whine like a lot of Edifiers on standby, no treble that pierces the eardrums like the Presonus 3.5~ No distortion in the bass like the Presonus (when they are placed in front of the wall) Why do people choose Pebbles? (and mainly V2) because : They cost nothing They are super minimalist/pretty An on/off button that acts as a volume at the same time! and on the front. They have mediums! (which the majority of Edifiers don't have, Edifier is often V shape) Easy to clean Once EQ with APO on PC we get a very correct sound for the price! Best spatialization for the price But yes they are missing : Much of the Low spectrum Distortion at very very high volume No analytical treble A little too light (weight) But for me, they are more balanced than Presonus speakers which costs +100 euro, they have a nicer mid than the Edifier speakers (overated) In any case, if you want REAL balanced speakers, you take big Focals or something like that, you don't take crap like "eDiFiEr" which for me remains a Chinese "no-name" brand.”

“I’m looking for a new pair after my Presonus Eris 3.5BTs crapped out.  Seems like this is a common issue cause they use cheap capacitors.  Would not recommend! I think I bought these on Wirecutters recommendation, so a good reminder that they don’t really know how long an item will last given how short-term their testing has to be.”

“Avoid Presonus , hisses and breaks after 2 years”

“amazing sound, horrible build quality.”
