Product Review A friend of mine has these monitors in his studio. After spending the day mixing and tracking I couldn’t believe how good they sounded and how clear the mix was. I had monitor-envy and had to have the same ones. The JBL monitor control that was part of the package has a short in the mute circuit which is why I am only giving 4 stars

Best 8" Monitors for the money!

Product Review I had the Presonus Eris E4.5 set and they were great. I really liked the sound and stereo image, however they lacked the low end I needed to properly mix and monitor. So I decided to upgrade to these, and wow, they have exceeded my expectations. Great sound, flat, good low end response, well build, almost no "noise or hiss". Highly recommend.

Product Review The clarity of the monitors are exceptional--especially for the price. I have more expensive monitors in another home studio and these sound so much better.

Product Review Just what the headline states. Great accurate sound. You won't miss anything listening to your music from these. Easy to set up, by are kind of on the heavy side. But then again, they are 8 inches.

Product Review You've all read the reviews, they're true! Sound quality is great,really balanced,frequency response is great, even in my small room.plenty of power,but not boomy like some monitors I've owned. For the money I think the Presonus Eris E8 monitors are a best buy!

Product Review After several weeks with these monitors it's easy to say that they are a great improvement over the KRK Rockit5 I had previously...the imaging is detailed and I am loving how much definition they provide. Not a hyped low end and very powerful if needed...Excellent price and no shipping charge from AMS ! 5 stars for these speakers !

Product Review I was very skeptical of these monitors at first because of the price point. But man they deliver. Great low end and crisp highs. My mixes translate better to other sources now.

Product Review The 8" speaker I've had for a few months now, I alternate between the acoustic space switch in the middle or disengaged to sweep back some lows. They are very loud, affordably priced and no frequency stands out, so great for monitoring. Does need decoupled from desk in order to isolate the bass (seems my desk becomes a bass conduit). Can't complain, great price, great looks, and can't ask for more in the sound department considering they are geared to sound true to recordings/source! Great service from AMS on the fast shipping!

Great monitors for any size studio

Product Review I’ve been through a dozen or so monitors at varying prices, these Eris 8 monitors are the best. They are not even fully broken in yet, and the sounds I was missing on my mixes mostly bad things jump right at me I can now Compress & EQ without over doing it. Next on the list is the Eros Sub. Also AMS included in the price a JBL monitor volume control and cables. Thanks a great deal.

Product Review I’ve been mixing on some 5” M Audios for years and although I like them I kept struggling getting my low end right. Seemed like endless trips from the car speakers to my home studio always trying to fix low end issues. I finally upgraded to the Eris 8’s and nailed the low ends on my first mix. Couldn’t be more satisfied for the price. Wish I’d invested in them sooner.

Product Review my only complaint so far is that they came with black woofers instead of the blueish ones in the ad, which I liked. But they sound pretty good, even in my so-far untreated room.

Great Monitors for the Price

Product Review I ran an A/B test with the Eris E8's and Yamaha HS8's. For me, the HS8's had piercing highs that weren't manageable at Unity. The E8's sound flat at Unity. I was leary at first, given that Presonus isn't known for studio monitors, but I am pleased with my purchase. I'm a musician first and an audio engineer out of necessity. With that said, I need my monitors to be flat and convey the truth. At my budget, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find anything that would get me close to a truly flat sound, without low/mid/high over compensation. However, the E8's have definitely delivered. The front firing bass ports have dramatically improved the sound of my small studio monitoring environment as well. Rear firing ports + close proximity to a wall x small room = sonic disaster. Stepping up from 5.25's, I can now clearly hear the bass nuances that need to be addressed. Also, the shielding is amazing. I no longer have an issue with crosstalk and computer noises.

Product Review Great deal over Black Friday. The speakers were at a bargain price , and with the starter package included it was a no brainer purchase. This will be a Christmas gift for my son. (what a nice Dad). I have purchased many Presonus products and I'm sure the quality is there. My only negative comment is that the starter pack did not contain the same cables as listed in the add. Instead of four xlr to trs cables. Two of the cables were xlr to xlr. I just went ahead and purchased two xlr to trs daptors so they will work.

Product Review I'm using Presonus Studio One as my DAW. When I heard that Presonus had speakers, I decided to give them a try. I was using Alesis M1 Actives, for the last nine years, and the amps finally gave out. I'm very pleased with the clean, flat sound these speakers put out. I'm very happy with this purchase and pleased with Presonus, as a whole.

Product Review These monitors sound great, and they have many tuning capabilities on the back (more than most other brands)...the front bass port is a great addition to the design! Presonus has upped the game for monitors this size and price point, Way to go Presonus!

Your general opinion of this product. I started learning to engineer with a spare pair of stereo speakers I'd had for years. I'd been listening to music on them for so long that my ears were too used to them to consider getting a pair of studio monitors. Well, after years of use, one speaker finally went so I was forced to look into alternative monitoring for mixing. I knew I wanted a set of 8 inch speakers, but didn't know which brand. I saw the KRK Rokit 8's and was going to get those because American Musical rules and has payment plans, but I looked more into it and found comparisons between the PreSonus E8s and the Rokit 8s claiming that the Eris E8s were flatter, less colored, and generally better. Needless to say, I'm very happy with my purchase. Compared to the old speakers I was using, the low end has so much clarity. On top of that, the frequency response isn't scooped like with the stereo speakers so that just improved the general clarity of the whole image. It's put together in a very professional fashion. I have no complaints whatsoever. Considering I was using scooped stereo speakers before, the frequency response from these took a little getting used to, but I'm much happier now. All the different settings on the back to suit different rooms. Brilliant! Flat, straightforward, exactly what I needed. I just got them so I couldn't say but I do hope they last a very long time!

Your general opinion of this product. These monitors are GREAT for the studio! For the very clear, professional sound that it projects, it is definitely worth the cost. Presonus is a great brand when it comes to recording, so these monitors compliments very well with your production. The sound is very clean, and the bass hits just right. One of the monitors did not power on after a week, but AMS worked very promptly to get it replaced. I'm not sure if it was the shipping and handling of the package, but my replacement works perfect!
