Versus Eris 3.5 Studio: Powered, Near-Field, Compared pleasures tester We’ve had the PreSonus Eris 3.5 Studio Monitors, Pair, in our setup for a while now, and we’ve found them to be a solid choice for near-field work. Their active design means we don’t need to worry about pairing external amplifiers, simplifying our desk. The 3.5-inch drivers handle our production tracks with clarity, balancing detail without distortion. We appreciate the desktop-friendly size and the mounting options for our studio stand. The frequency response feels smooth, though we notice subtle variations depending on the room’s acoustics. Overall, the Eris 3.5s deliver a neutral and useful sound for mixing and mastering, making them a reliable companion for our creative process. They’re not the most fancy monitors we’ve tested, but their practicality and affordability make them a compelling option.
