The S3000 do a fine job covering all the based from music, movies, and games. I’ve only ever had the S3000 pros, Edifier R1280T, and the Edifier R1700BT (I have a brand loyalty issue I know) so I don’t really have anything to compare them to. I was lucky enough to attend RMAF in 2019 and got to listen to a bunch of *really* nice speakers and this was one of them. The S3000 Pros happened to be in my price range ($400 on Black Friday ‘19) so I picked them up

All my hobbies in one place.

 What makes a more noticeable difference is the position of the speakers. I made some stands out of scrap particle board shelving to get the speakers off the surface of the desk and angled upward. This may reduce the impression of "warmth" that many listeners notice first but the bass is tighter and the overall tonal balance is improved. Getting the tweeters directed more towards my ears also cleaned up the top end and helped imaging substantially

 This may reduce the impression of "warmth" that many listeners notice first but the bass is tighter and the overall tonal balance is improved. Getting the tweeters directed more towards my ears also cleaned up the top end and helped imaging substantially. I wanted to stay within my self-imposed budget and while I realize while none of us can blow hundred dollar bills out of our nose (if you can, I want to be your new best friend), $100 doesn't buy as much as it use to. You will probably spend more on snacks for your super bowl party and I can't go into Walmart for socks and a can of cheese-whiz without spending more than this before I can get out

 Edifier has made smart choices in what they put into their product at this price point. The R1280T cannot accept a digital signal nor does it connect via Bluetooth. However, the construction seems solid, the cabinets are handsome, the woofer has a rubber surround instead of foam, the tone and volume controls are thoughtfully located and offer some tailoring of the sound in applications where you can't do this with a sound card. The speaker size is small enough to allow you to move them around to get the best overall sound

 You can get better sound if you are willing to spend more money. Having gotten those critical comments out of the way, I want to say that I really like these speakers. A recent move into a new home meant I did not have the desktop real estate for my previous sound setup and I was left with using some very tiny Harman/Kardon speakers left over from an old bundled pc purchase. They worked okay for Windows to ping, chime and clink at me but not much else

Lots of enjoyment for $100 and totally legal

5mm jack to the RCA input, instead I use a USB Digital-to-Analog Converter to take advantage of higher sampling rates. I listen to music on my Mac mini M1 mostly using Apple Music. The Mac mini M1 is connected to a Schiit Modi DAC via USB, which is connected to a Schiit Loki Mini+ Equalizer (awesome combo by the way). These two devices are connected via short 6" RCA cables, in turn connected to the Edifier Speakers also with short quality RCA cables

” The second amp was 775mV and the amp I am currently using is also ≤ 280mV. None of these have clipping at any volume I tested (the Edifier speakers would have clipping even at the lowest volumes). Anyhow, I am committed to the components I have more than I am to the speakers, hence my return. Despite all of these, the Edifier speakers sounded fantastic on their own

 Anyhow, I am committed to the components I have more than I am to the speakers, hence my return. Despite all of these, the Edifier speakers sounded fantastic on their own. I wouldn't hesitate getting them if I had a different setup.

 The bass starts clipping at any volume setting. This didn't happen when connecting the Edifier speakers directly to the Mac mini M1, or even when connecting the speakers directly to the Schiit Modi DAC. It would happen a tiny bit when connected the Mac directly to the Schiit Loki Mini+ equalizer, though not nearly as pronounced. At first I thought it was the equalizer that was the problem, and Schiit support was very responsive and helped me out by sending me a replacement (the equalizer I had purchased from them was from someone else returning it after all)

Excellent sound but have to return because of bass clipping (suspected input sensitivity issue)

I do a lot of gaming and I've been using some form of a 2.1 speaker setup for around 30 years. My existing speakers are getting long in the tooth I wanted to see if I could get rid of the big honking sub-woofer to free up some shelf space under my computer desk, so I bought a pair of these. The build quality is impressive, they feel very solid and well built

..  When I fired up a few of my favorite games, they just didn't sound right. With explosions going on above my desk rather than below, voices and sounds higher in the audio range just got lost and sounded muddled

 My existing speakers are getting long in the tooth I wanted to see if I could get rid of the big honking sub-woofer to free up some shelf space under my computer desk, so I bought a pair of these. The build quality is impressive, they feel very solid and well built. They sound wonderful for music and miscellaneous computer audio.  However

Great for music.  Gaming, not so much...

Bought these as the primary pair in our fifth wheel camper. Sound quality, size, fit and finish all ideal for this job. But there's a few opportunities: the wireless remote only works when aimed carefully at the right speaker. and there is no visual indicator of activity

Excellent Sound Value,  aside a few small details

**I recommend** the [Tannoy REVEAL 402](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2eWrKmwQKXo/VnBNFJwVJ7I/AAAAAAAAAls/l4LeofMgens/s1600/DSC06512.JPG) (USD $220/pair) or slightly larger 502 (USD $298/pair) if you want a little more push and lower bass. These are beginner studio monitors.

If you [look at the back](https://www.tannoy.com/product.html?modelCode=P0C46) you'll see in the AUX section it has an IN (which means input line) which would plug directly to your computer with a 3.5 mm male-to-male cable (basically a headphone cable, but on both ends); this will save you from needing to purchase a DAC or Audio Interface until thats something you want to do. 

**Comparison**

The PreSonus Eris E3.5 seems a little too small, too contrasting to headphone sound. It only goes down to 80Hz, where as the Tannoy REVEAL 402 goes down to 56Hz and the Tannoy REVEAL 502 down to 49Hz; that means the PreSonus are gonna feel more cold, more high-frequency when playing back music, and smaller of a sound, yet the Tannoy's will feel more fuller sounding. The PreSonus are also only 25W per speaker, so not very loud, where as the Tannoy is 50 Watts per speaker, so twice the volume capability, and less likely to distort when playing back at louder volumes. 

The Tannoy's also have a waveguide, so that means a wider sweet spot for your head while you're sitting at a computer desk. Also, the Tannoy's have the bass-port in the front, so you'll not only get more bass frequencies with the Tannoy's, but the bass frequencies will be less distorted than the PreSonus if you're placing your desk (and thus, speakers) against a wall.

I know the PreSonus E3.5 are half the price as the Tannoy REVEAL 402, but theres just not enough low end and power to complement headphones, which is what you will be switching back and forth with.

EDIT: If you're moving up to the USD $300 budget, and have an audio interface (or DAC) to connect to them, I recommend the [JBL 305P Mark ii](https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/jbl-lsr305p-mkii-and-control-1-pro-monitors-review.10811/). If you don't want to buy an audio interface, then you can stick to the Tannoy REVEAL 502 at USD $298/pair. Also, it seems [the PreSonus line do not have a good frequency response for music referencing](https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/presonus-e5-xt-active-speaker-review.13436/). But if you just need to hear anything coming out of your computer—loudness, accuracy and bass don't matter, which is probably a lot of people not in this sub, and want to stick to the USD $100/pair budget—then you will 100% be happy with the PreSonus Eris E3.5.

I have the Eris 4.5BT connected to a IfI Zen DAC V2 which is connected to my computer.  
I love them for listening to music as I don't do mixing. The are quite detailed and surprisingly punchy.    
I had the Edifier 980T and R1700BT and the 4.5 are much better in all aspects.

I don't use BT as there is a slight humming sound. When I turn them on there is a low buzzing sound on the main speaker for approximately 5sec. This does not detract from my enjoyment.

I have those speakers, I like them a lot but I'm not a professional.  Perfect for listening to music imo, maybe need to adjust the bass down a little.  They appealed to me because they were so small and affordable over something like Edifier R1280T.  A LOT easier to fit on a desk than a big pair of speakers.  

Another benefit, they use similar (if not exactly the same) tweeters as their bigger, more expensive, siblings, and have excellent clarity.

I feel like the answer to this is going to be 'yes' but I said I'd ask anyway.

  
I got into creating video for a YouTube channel a few months ago and am getting into audio and video production and editing.

  
I figured that having some basic gear for monitoring would be useful.

  
Picked up a pair of the Audio Technica ATH M20xs while I was over in the US from Amazon and they're absolutely brilliant.

  
I use them both for editing video and for actually monitoring audio when I'm out shooting on my camera. Terrific at both jobs and (at least this is what I feel) I can really hear the accuracy of the sound being represented.

  
The problem is that, as a glasses wearer, I find over the ear headphones uncomfortable for protracted wearing. I didn't have a chance to extensively research the market while I was in the US so there may have been more spectacle friendly options but ... these are what I have for the moment. They're great .. until they start hurting.

  
I WFH a few days a week and I've always harbored a secret desire to start listening to music through speakers during the day. Not blasting stuff like crazy but .. to give my ears a break from the earphones.

  
So:

  
I'm looking for a decent but budget-friendly pair of speakers. Primarily for the purpose of editing the sound on my videos. But it would be great if they could double up as something that's nice to listen to also.

  
The Eris 3.5 PreSonus came up during a search from audio places in my area and I was wondering if, in light of the above they might be a nice little pair of studio headphone that tick all the boxes. 

TY!

(Location: Israel. Probably not so useful as most of our websites are in Hebrew. But there are some decent DJ-oriented stored in Tel Aviv that carry most of the familiar options. We just can't get Amazon stuff for the most part here).

Eris E3.5 PreSonus - decent enough for casual listening (as well as editing and monitoring)?

A very good sound from a small bookshelf set of speakers.
