It may be good to mention that the Mackie actually brand them as “multimedia monitors” not “studio monitors” which can make a difference in the sound. The Presouns may have a flatter sound for that reason.
MACKIE SHOULD RELEASE A WHITE VERSION FOR ALL THE BIGGER VERSIONS OF THEIR BLUETOOTH ENABLED STEREO STUDIO MONITORS , SUCH AS THE CR5 XBT AND THE CR8 XBT . THERE IS HIGH DEMAND FOR THIS VERY UNCOMMON AND NICE LOOKING WHITE VERSIONS . BUT IT'S A PITY THAT THEY ARE AVAILABLE ONLY IN BORING BLACK COLOUR AT PRESENT . THERE IS NO OPTION FOR PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS OTHER THAN THE DULL LOOKING BLACK COLOURED MODELS .
So with you tubes algorithm and compression I would like to know your thoughts on how they compare to each other. Such as...Which ones sounded better to you and why? Does one have better bass, mid or treble response then the other an nd the size difference? Thank you
connecting theses to a pc through bluetooth is not a good idea for a music studio, as you sais. this is why usb connector should be useful on this multimedia speakers.
Guys be careful with these, there are a lot going around with a white noise problem 😳 no input the second they get power, regardless of power filter etc. I’m gonna be sending mine back
Hello from Argentina, new sub here!, I want to buy the CR3-XBT to start mixing and maybe to production, would you recommend it? I have a low budget, nice videos!
they sound good. i just bought a pair from microcenter. the only complaint is they dont have a matching sub. im trying to accomplish a white them for all of my pc components.
u sould be able to find a 3rd party one from monoprice not sure if its black though. Im pretty sure mackie makes a white powered studio sub but its expensive about $250 or so.
@@coolelectronics1759 i wouldnt mind a sperate sub as long is its matching. ive seen a few. i just usually dont like mixing components. especially if theyre tuned. ive seen a few that werent mackie though.
I just bought these and I’m having the same issue tbh. I think their new internal amp for the CR3-X is flawed. The original CR3s didn’t have the white noise... lmk if you find a fix cause otherwise these sound great
I commented on your other video but I had problems with these. This is what I said on your unboxing: I got some of these and the tweeter just has way too much self-generated noise. Produces it at the lowest volume and even without an input so it's not EM interference or feedback. Even tried them on an isolated power source again with no source. All the reviews say it, even the 5-star but it's too much in person. Especially if you leave them on to use beyond music/gaming (i.e. for the OS notifications). The speakers sound awesome otherwise. Called Mackie hoping they'd fix/replace and they were so dismissive it wasn't even funny. They said "I must be using them wrong or too loud" even though I told them volume was at lowest and no source and they still produce the hiss. I pointed out reviews and they said those customers were also wrong and or reviewing another product. Never had a company be so dismissive of such a widespread problem. Sent them back to B&H for a refund. Got some other speakers and no such issue. Funny thing was the review I based my purchase on was one where a guy said he had been looking for speakers that didn't hiss and finally found them in the Eris. The Mackie sound marginally better when I look at the waveforms, but it's marginal at best and I'd rather that than a constant hiss that will eventually drive me nuts.
In the vid I got a lil more bass from the presonus ... I have the green crx mackies and I'm very happy but I will be buying the limited edition white because I want the bt functional out of the box and for the fact that these white monitors are unbelievably sexy 🤦🏾♂️
Can we use cr3x for mixing /mastering? Which one could be better for this purpose - cr3x or eris 3.5? Here in India eris 3.5 is pricier than cr3x . So, would it be wise to spend more bucks to have eris 3.5 to get the job done or should i go for cr3x? Plz suggest
These will be OK if you are only concerned with editing audio. But, if you are also editing video any loud colors in your studio will affect your perception of the color Ballance of the video you are editing.
WTF? Was that intro purposely trying to fuck up my KRKs just so I go out and buy these or what? I was only looking around for a nice afordable speaker to get my little sister for her birthday! My speakers did not deserve that!

Good point! Thanks for the comment!
@@EdwardSmithMusic :O Good point indeed
In actual testing, they're not.

Literally not a single mention of how they sound... *Facepalm*
thats what im tryna find out too😆
They look cute but I still love presonus Eris 3.5
I'm also a big Eris E3.5 fan!!!
Do you get a hiss with the white monitors?
Receiving Edwards video notifications more often these days! Yayy that’s really cool Ed. Road to 100k🥳🥳 is not so far!❤️❤️
Thanks so much Vincent 🙏🏼
The presonus sounded "airy". Mackie's sounded more crisp and tight.
Agree
I ordered it today for my music studeo . Is it a right choice for me ?
Your Videos are really gooood!!! Keep up the Great work! ♥️
Thank you so much!!

i was waiting for the same 😢

How long is the speaker wire? Like how far apart can both speakers stretch?
It's close to two meters. The speaker wire is an aux cable, so if you need a longer one, you can just get one on Amazon.
Its there a way to know how many passive speakers can i connect to these?
Or any audio system in general
Guys be careful with these, there are a lot going around with a white noise problem 😳 no input the second they get power, regardless of power filter etc. I’m gonna be sending mine back
thanks for this man
Wow looking so good love it
Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼
you can do it with balanced or unbalanced
I want to get new studio monitors. I got some JBL 104 ones but I Had to return Them since one did not work..
Hello from Argentina, new sub here!, I want to buy the CR3-XBT to start mixing and maybe to production, would you recommend it? I have a low budget, nice videos!
These speakers are a little too small for real mixing and music production.
Oh, thank you 😁
Yes they are great
Mackie has more mids & more crispier than the Presonous.
digging the new setup, very sleek.
Thank you so much!!!
yeeeah, those are astetik af
they sound good. i just bought a pair from microcenter. the only complaint is they dont have a matching sub. im trying to accomplish a white them for all of my pc components.
u sould be able to find a 3rd party one from monoprice not sure if its black though. Im pretty sure mackie makes a white powered studio sub but its expensive about $250 or so.
or buy the monoprice sub and paint it white
@@coolelectronics1759 i wouldnt mind a sperate sub as long is its matching. ive seen a few. i just usually dont like mixing components. especially if theyre tuned.
ive seen a few that werent mackie though.
Another next level video from Edward 😍😍😍😎..!!!
Nice video ❤️🤩..
Thanks so much for watching!! 🙏🏼
what's the material, plastic or MDF/wood
This are not a studio monitors but multimedia monitors, it´s a little different right!???
Yes.. these are more for general listening than music making.
has anyone figured how to get rid of the white noise?
I bought mackies CR3-X like a month ago and right when I turned them on I could hear white noise. Would switching to TRS cables solve this issue?
I just bought these and I’m having the same issue tbh. I think their new internal amp for the CR3-X is flawed. The original CR3s didn’t have the white noise... lmk if you find a fix cause otherwise these sound great
@@Jeffmylife found a video on TH-cam switching to TRS cables do help with the noise
@@GoldenTyga Did you solve the noise with TRS cables?
Probably you're using the TS cable which is unbalanced. TRS is the balanced cable for this.
did u did any EQ adjustment to the presounce part "")
the presounce sounds warmer and richer to be honest.
No... I left all settings standard.
@@EdwardSmithMusic the presonus better then ;)
Great vid
Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼
Can you connect a 3rd party subwoofer?
Great! thank you 😁 ✌️ 🔊

How are these compared to edifier 1280db?

Aww Great Monitors👍❤️
When this will be available India ?? Currently it’s not there..
Not too sure!

Its not good for mixing .. you only get 80 hz and above
Go with mackie
For a small room, yes.
@@MishazBtswe can't even hear any frequency below 80hz.
@@MastaGOfficial That’s untrue
You cant hear anything below 20 hz
Love it 😉💖
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼
Hey man!
How lang are the cables that connect the boxes? The black and red one?
Cheers
one year and he hasn't replied.
do they hiss?
Nahh
Great Monitors👍❤️....still waiting for laptop on budget 700$
I just bought the E3.5's... And now I'm sending them back 🤣 Is the left monitor supposed to be quiet and tinny?
They are really good set of speakers... I just think your were faulty.
try to use a contact cleaner
DO NOT use these to mix music, they are insanely hyped around 100Hz, impossible to judge the low end without a sub, and even then it's hard.
Btw nice video I'll choose presonous coz i need flatter spund rather than crispy 🤭
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!!
Do you get 2 speakers for 130 dollars?
Yes it's for the pair
These will be OK if you are only concerned with editing audio. But, if you are also editing video any loud colors in your studio will affect your perception of the color Ballance of the video you are editing.
