I was quite blown away by the quality of the Eris 3.5 for such a small speaker and price. Now I wish I had bought the Edifer.....anyhow, no weeping because soon I will go into much higher prices. Thanks for your clear report!
The Eris 3.5 are a piece of shit. Me and two of my friends buyed them the same week. 3 years later, my speakers and my friends ones died nearly at the same time.
@@TOON.MUSIC.503 Maybe it's because it's not built the same way, but when i compare to standard 100€ hifi speaker that can last 15 year, those ones kinda felt like a scam
It has been done already in different channels, to save you the time, people are coming back to the 1st Gen, apparently 2nd ruined the sound for the sake of Bluetooth.
@@prodbyrt1956 I have both pairs right here, and what I can tell you is that it depends on your needs. If you want a little bit more flatness to your overall sound MR4 is the way to go, you can feel their frequency range is just bigger and better. E3.5 is definitely a multimedia/monitor speaker with a very pronounced bass/mid curve and they are, of course, way louder than MR4. Im using MR4 now, and to be honest Im not coming back. Bass is just so much better in MR4
@@fractalized3 that’s very interesting.. well I’m looking for monitors for reference mixing and music production mainly.. my room isn’t treated so I’m not very picky about the frequency response but yes it is important.. anyways it’s surprising because Eris e3.5 r more popular as a “studio monitors” and ah u say they r not as flat as MR4?? In that case ig I have to stick with MR4
@@prodbyrt1956 My man, take it from someone who has both pairs connected and active at the moment of writing this comment. MR4 are way better for flatness and studio monitoring overall, 3.5 are nice, very very nice actually, but they do indeed have a boost curve, they will serve well as monitors too, I used them for 4 years in a previous workstation. MR4 also have better stereo imaging which is quite relevant when mixing. Also take into account the 2 modes MR4 offers, "Music" which has a boost curve around the mids and "Monitor" mode which is as flat as the speakers can get. MR4 also have DPS protection, which some people like some don't, the speakers will compress or even suppress low frequencies beyond the supported threshold to prevent damage to the cone. ALSO, and very important! 3.5 have an expiry date, believe or not, everyone I know that has had them report 4 years of good use, before getting huge noises and hisses. You can also verify this through different reviews out there and reddit post of people reporting the same for some reason. I know this is too much but I also know how important and frustrating the process of picking a pair of speakers can be. Cheers! Hope this is helpful!
i Got the Edifier mr4, i had the chance to testem back to back and i prefer MR4. it ddoesnt comparee to Yamaha hs8 that i use, but they are verry good for 30% of 1 HS8. nice video
Well done demo. I prefer the Edifier, they would be a good choice to use connected as an output monitor for the Fractal FX3 guitar processor while recording or simply practicing.
I have the Eris 3.5 and caps bloated on 3rd year and now is not turning on. Come to find that this is common for the Eris, they fail and some pretty early on. ill be buying the Mr4 or the 1280DB from now on.
Hello I'm also torn in between these 2 monitor speakers, majority MR4 turns out a better choice. However does MR4 also support additional subwoofer like Eris with Eris Sub8?
Mr4 are lacking in mids while the Presonus tweeter gives a bit of clarity in mids but lacks on bass, which only subwoofer can solve the problem on presonus. In the end of the day, Mr4 are also great in terms in sound and aesthetics. We all have personal preference and use your ears. Whatever you choose between these two, still a win. Specially if you’re upgrading on a normal/generic speakers.
Lol you need to clean your ears, the mids are definitely better on the MR4 or you have no idea how to properly assess the sound. The presonus is more inclined towards the treble.
Are you serious? The Presonus is muddy in the mids at best, they aren't even comparable! This isn't even about personal preference it's about actual clarity!
Bro U do mix ur own music right any producer would tell that the mr4 has the better bass and mid range frequency while the PreSonus sounds like it has less bass and to much treble or high eq
Thanks for your review man! I will probably go for the MR4s to save money for a decent subwoofer! Since I want a 2.1 setup for more bass frequencies, I am thinking of choosing between Edifier T5 and Presonus Eris Sub 8 for my subwoofer. I'll be using my setup for listening to music from classical to very modern stuff and also for music production. Keep in mind that Eris Sub 8 is about 89usd more expensive than T5 in my country. Which one do you recommend? I appreciate your help!
I wonder. On brandnew speakers things are harder to judge. They need to get rid of that initial stiffness first. I wonder how the Edifier sounds after enough playing time For now it's hard to say. The Edifier seems a bit muddier, while the presonus seems more crisp. Also the presones seems punchier, which is better for monitoring in a studio. The lazyness of the Edifier might dissapear after a couple of hours, so I can't say. As for build, the box itself, the knobs, the studio versus music positions the edifier wins as well as for warmth and thickness. The presonus wins on crisp and punchy sounds, though it also tends to thin and a bit canny sound. That been said, I had to judge this on my tv monitors which aren't the best.
My presonus after 3 years are done Propably i will choose now the MR4 Especialy cause i can see 2 modes Cause i mainly using them for guitar playing Do you recommend them for this usage ?
If you want to choose between these 2 speakers, the MR4 is better sound wise. If you want the best sound and still a relatively affordable price, go with the Edifier R1700BTs. It is amazing. Here's a video about it here: th-cam.com/video/EM08vN1sCM4/w-d-xo.html

Nice review sir 👍 I'm wondering if you can also do a "vs" or give feedback between the R1700xxx and the MR4. I'm really confused on which one to pick since there's no test unit in any of the stores i went to
I had the R1280T so I know how it sounds. For music listening, you're better off with the R1280T, for music production, the Eris E3.5. That being said, if you can put $10 more, get the R1280TS. It is much better then both the Eris and the R1280T
