--------------------------------
Another interesting comparison. Edifier R1700BT is remote controlled multimedia speaker with bluetooth connectivity, where Presonus Eris E4.5 is a compact studio monitor. Which sound better? For me E4.5 is more neutral and balanced thus it would be my choice for music listetning in nearfield. R1700BT is great for multimedia use on desk, as well as a TV speaker replacement, with sound tweeked towards enjoyability. What do You think? Comment and ask Your questions in comment section. Cheers!

Thanks for the demos. Looking forward for Edifier R2800 sound demo :)
Well, R1700BT is 8/10 and Eris E4.5 is 8/10 too - it's not really helpful ;) But I assume, R1700BT is some kind of "high end" in it's category while E4.5 is a "entry level" monitor, am I right?
+Georg Mierau More or less. Two different approaches to sound, Edifier is bassy and warm sounding while Presonus is clearer, more natural and more honest. My choice for desktop audio setup would be Presonus as I like honest sound more.
I agree with you, Presonus is clearer and has better soundstage while R1700BT has more bass punch, Presonus have more accurate sound.
does decreasing bass using tone control or stuffing the bass port with fabric helps decrease the bloat on edifier?
Great video ! These are the two brands I've narrowed it down to and it's a tough choice ! Both sound great, but I think in the first segment the Edifier sounds better, but the rest the PreSonus wins. It sounds open and fresh, whereas the Edifier sounds boxy. I was hoping for the Edifier to win because they're prettier to look at, but it's about the sound.
Thought i wanted the mackie cr3s but the eres 4.5 sounds so clean i might have to save up...thanks for the debacle 😀
E4.5 is worth the extra over CR3 IMO
Thank you very much for the very informative reviews. Your words have weight, and your videos help RUclipsrs like me make informed decisions before buying
Thank You. I am happy to hear my work is helpful :)
In your channel sound speaks a thousand words. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you for doing what you do, subbed.
Thank you for the comparison ! Although some people are going to complain that you can’t really ‘hear’ the speakers over RUclips , these tests do give a fair idea on how speakers compare with each other. I am looking to upgrade my computer speakers and these two are my top picks. I intend to use them only to listen to music and gaming. Eris e4.5 seems to be more technically correct , but the vocals and highs do feel a bit too sharp for my taste . I am sure they would make excellent studio monitors but for extended listening , I feel R1700BT would be a better choice.Just my two cents
Would really love to see how the R1700BT compares to the R1850DB. Thanks again for the awesome work !
R1700BT vs R1850DB is coming soon. Cheers!
you need to wear headphones
Thanks for the great demo! This was just what I needed. I'm probably going to buy the Presonus Eris now :)
Cheers ;)
I love this channel.
:)
Really appreciate your work, a great help for people looking for good monitors. Can you please do a 1700bt Vs Eris presonus e5. I am a bit divided between these two even if the later is double the price.
I use my r1700bt for video editing and listening to music ... at my age I doubt I could really hear the difference. I couldn't find the Presonus model I wanted here in Saigon, and went with the Edifier. I couldn't find the model of it either (r1280t) and wound up with the r1700bt. I will say it has helped with my dialog editing. I don't mix music.
What about bass level in R1700BT ? Because in my E4.5 it seems to be....missing. Not to mention "a punch" I wish to hear from time to time in when watching movies.
Thanks so much for this effort in giving us the option to choose between the two.
Is it possible to merge the original song, then, edifier then presonus. In this way, we can easily identify which one reproduces very accurately
a impressão que tive é que o Edifier tem um som bem mais equilibrado e os graves mais cheios, porém o Presonus tem as frequências altas mais definidas e produz mais harmônicos. São dois ótimos monitores, acho difícil escolher entre um, mas acho que por um todo (pelo meu gosto pessoal) a Edifier é melhor.
I think Edified more in high frequency, presonus good for monitor studio
Which one would you recommend for use with a turntable (rega planar 2)? I'm among Edifier R1700BT/ R2000DB, Presonus Eris E3.5/E4.5 BT.
I just ordered the Edifiers should be here in a week. Im using mine for a Denon DP300 turntable and as a BT speaker for spotify.
This was a huge help, thanks!
I was looking forward to buying the Edifier r1700.... After watching this video I'm leaning towards the Presonus E4.5.... They sound more "true"..... Thanks a lot
great channel.. thanks mate
I prefer the smoother sound of the Edifier, however they sound too boomy. Could it be the room effect or are they really that boomy??
can you make a comparison between eris e5 and r1700bt?
Hello.
Give the answer to the question.
Bi-amping technology is available on both speaker models?
Or do the PreSound Eris e4.5bt speakers have a different frequency separation technology per channel?
The Eris 4.5 is streets ahead in balanced sound and clarity.
I would recommend listening original audio files through a pair of (at least basic) monitor headphones and then compare it with both of these. The exaggerated bassy sound is felt because of the bass port of edifier located at the front. Edifier is fuller and better in my opinion.
The E4.5 speakers are way too bright (or lacking bass), I want to turn the volume down. The 1700BT speakers are less clear but I want to turn the volume up. I think E4.5 will fatigue my ears quite fast, the 1700BT will not. The signatue sound of the 1700BT does something I really love, even though they're far from perfect. Btw, your channel is fab, I subbed as soon as I found it. Thank you very much!
Thank you, great video.
I bought the Presonus Eris E4.5 but they have an intolerable hiss even with gain on 0 and only power connected, extremely annoying when nothing is being played. I'm thinking of returning them and getting the Edifier R1700. Do you happen to experience the same with both speakers?
Hi, I have Eris E4.5 since 2 years but I'm using them for listening to music. I want to buy something bigger/better, what do you recommend? I was looking for R2000DB or R2750. Thank's
great work. I like your channel a lot
Weirdly, I watched this video originally with PC speakers (Creative Audio T30) and the difference seemed pretty much in the favour of the Edifier, but I bought the Presonus Eris E4.5 anyway (on advice from someone who has a home studio) and later watched this video again through the E4.5 - wow - the Edifier sounds awfully constrained and compressed. Glad I chose the 'right one'!
The Presonus has gain controls for the highs and mids. You can use the mid control for a bass boost for games/movies where you want to color the sound deeper. Another reviewer called those two gain dials the 'secret party mode', and they are!
The Eris 4.5 is the perfect speakers for listening to music 'the way the original artists heard it', and perfect for gaming/movies once you color the sound for more bass and less highs.
Oh, and if you have any bass boost on your sound source (such as on a phone or Spotify, etc), turn if off when you use these speakers; you don't need it and it makes monitor speakers sound broken... but its actually your sound source that is broken.
Only downside is if your sound source is rubbish, these speakers will let you know!
Edifier has bass and treble control as well
@@dreadlock17 Yes, but on most monitor speakers (such as the Eris) they are not called bass/treble controls (as monitors are not supposed to be 'colorable'). The ones on the Eris are actually gain controls to allow for local conditions, so many will miss that they 'work as bass/treble', particularly because they are hidden at the back of the unit! My bet is that this demo did not not use them at all on the Eris, so the Edifier will appear more bassy simply because the Eris is being driven uncolored.
listening to this on my 1850db while looking to upgrade. more bass in the Edifiers and sounds a bit more bottled up. Shall I get the E5XT or E7Xt for my room (music + streaming). source is my laptopn and there is a DAC in between the laptop and the speakers. (or shall I go the amp + passive speakers route??)
Presonus sound much clearer and brighter. It is so good that you tested them with so many different songs. Because this bright sound just gets annoying and.. empty? in some types of music. I know it is probably degradation and distortion of sound spectrum, which is present in Edifiers, but subjectively they produce more pleasing sound. Of these two I would go for Edifiers, when choosing speakers for casual listening to music.
What do you mean with degradation?
i had both of these speakers and i confirm that eris 4.5 has cleaner more transparent mids but lacks bass (warning : r1700bt is super boomy on default bass settings and is congested and muddy in the mids ). both has a slight hiss you can hear if you are less than 2 feet away so no problem as we are about 3 feet away when used as pc speakers on the desk. i also had the slightly more expensive and better sounding in all ways, jbl 305 but they were really too big for my desk. best solution i found in the end for desk PC audio setup is replacing these $100 - $200 small near field powered speakers with a $30 iem (cca c12 for example ) that offers exciting subbass and more detailed and cleaner sound at one fifth of the price, it also helps with cutting pc fan noise and street noise as it reduces external sounds while not overheating your ears after a few hours like headphones does. of course with iem you will miss the more natural crossfeed effect you get from speakers that reaches both your ears and you will not be able to watch movies with friends, so as always no audio solution is perfect it is all about compromises - peace, love and music ;)
I have r1700bt and I can confirm that 'human voice' is really bad on it. It's especially noticeable when I watch a RUclips video with the RUclipsr talking and background music playing.
Did Jbl 305 had a hiss? Were you satisfied with how they sounded?
Yes jbl tweeter hiss at any volune except 0, i listen near field so i can hear it when music is not playing, when music is playing you no longer notice it. I am very happy with how they sound, much better than focal xs 2.1 i had at the same time
Hey what setting did you set the attenuation for this demos (0. -2, or -4)? Thanks!
Speakers are always in neutral settings in my videos. Cheers!
Hearing this review with an Audio Technica M50X. Can hear an audible hiss - where is it coming from?
very nice channel..after i watch a lot of your videos i am going to buy the r1700bt..it sounds amazing to me..i was thinking for krk or jbl that is great monitors but my budget is closer to r1700bt-r1800..but i think the sound of edifiers is more elegance and balanced with great deep bass..thank you anyway..continue the great job
Thanks man! R1700BT is great value for money and good place to start audio journey ;)
Many thanks for amazing video
Plz help , I have this speakers ers 5 it's amazing speaker ,my problem is after some time work , it very very very hot from back of speakers , what's can I do , it is normal or what
Presonus Eris E4.5 are a pair of powered studio monitors while the R1700BT are a pair of powered bookshelf speakers. Both are designed and tuned for different purposes. Presonus are tuned to sounds flat and true accross most frequencies range. The Edifiers on the other hand are tuned for normal listening, sounding bassy and colourful. I'm gonna grab that pair of Presonus just cause if I wanted to use it for normal listening, I can just turn the Bass and Treble knobs. 😂
the e4.5 haven't bass knob, the e3.5 yes.
The problem is that the subwoofer is behind, so yo cant use them everywhere as the edifier.
After alot of comparing and watching your videos, Its definitely one of these 2. R1700BT is priced £129 and Eris E4.5 £149 here in UK... For a pc desk setup mainly used for gaming and watching movies which would you choose? I'm torn, can't decide between the 2..
Your response is very much appreciated.. @Digital Stereophony my good sir
I'm not the guy you're asking but if the bass boost isn't turned up for these demos, I'd say go for the E4.5 as you can boost the bass and it sounds less muddy in this demo. Of course, that's for these 50 y.o. years.
But... which one is going to sound better if you are moving around?
Body (R1700BT) vs Clarity (Eris E4.5)
am I wrong? / anyone agree?
Well, we need to be clear, one of them is basically a professional tool for making music and the other one is for listening, that simple. If the Eris E4.5 sounded bad it would be strange, Edifier on the other hand, is a sound system actually, for listening to music. They are good, very good in fact. Just not as clear and "flat" as the Presonus which is expected. I personally love the bass when I'm listening to music and pretty sure a significant amount of people love too, so Edifier gives that, Presonus doesn't, it has bass but not enough because it has to be that way, u should listen to your own untouched music with them. Edifier is like, "chill body here is the bass and sound I like to reproduce" 😁 Production / reproduction, that's the real purpose difference here.
If there were some improvement possible for a music, wouldn't the musician already have made those improvements? Since those improvements were done on studi monitors, wouldn't studio speaker be best to listen on. Also, the effect of dsp, etc might be easy to add in monitors, but getting the clarity of monitor in speaker might not be straightforward . So isn't studio monitor always more preferable?
Edfier 1700s also have blue tooth - which is super handy for playing music! Great sounding. I have 2 pairs of them for different rooms. I'll probably change one pair for Eris5s for my music production studio room.
I bought the R2000DB, which is quite similar to R1700BT I would imagine. Was really pleased with the build quality and overall sound (I'm no audiophile). What I was not pleased with at all was the loud hiss/static that they produced, regardless of whether they are plugged in or not (ie. power only also produced lots of hiss/static). This gets so bad at higher volumes that I can hear it from across the room (3-5 metres away).
I'm about to send them back and have the Presonus Eris E3.5 on the way. Will try to remember to update this comment once I get those.
In regards to this comparison, the Presonus sounds much more natural and much more clear and pleasant in mid-high range. Edifier sounds stronger in the lower end, however that makes the higher end sound muffled in comparison. Not sure if this is just the recording/mic setup.
Did you get Presonus E3.5 then?
@@RacingPotato12 yep I did! Really great speakers considering the price. Excellent for music/games. Very nice balanced sound without boomy bass. Would highly recommend!
@@pas0003 Thank you for responding! Do they have have any hiss like you experienced with your Edifiers?
@@RacingPotato12 hi sorry I just saw your reply!
They do have a slight hiss, but it's barely noticeable, compared to QUITE noticeable with the Edifier.
I much prefer Edifier for their form factor and quietness at rest, as compared to this particular Edifier model
What about Presonus Ceres 3.5BT or 4.5BT, Eris has good and rich acoustic but any ideas about BT versions?
Never tested Bluetooth enabled Presonus speakers, can not comment on them...
Is it normal for presonus to crackle at full volume ?
Edifier for me..more clear and not innatural bass enphatizations
Did you make a mistake naming it? is the edifier that has pumped bass, and e4.5 clarity...
are the PreSonus Eris E4.5 active speakers or do i neet an amp ?
E4.5 has a built in stereo amp so You only need a source and You are good to go.
The point of monitor speakers is to provide clearer and more realistic sound. In my opinion Eris E4.5 sound is more flat so they win. I still think if I will buy Mackie CR4 (old version) or Eris E4.5 as I will use them for guitar samples.
In my humble opinion I think that for musical production you have to get closer to how the user of that music is going to listen to it. The user will not hear it on a field monitor but rather on standard audio equipment. If you adjust your production according to the near field monitor you will surely put more treble and lower and then it will not sound natural in a home audio system.
I wonder what settings the Presonus are on. To my ear, there is a touch too little bass, even for a neutral studio monitor. I would hope the ambiance switch on the back would allow a little more bass to be switched in to allow for room acoustics. Nice review though...
There are two important issues that have not been clarified
1. The Edifiers have a bass knob on the side and we don't know where it was set
2. all of the speakers are set very close to the back wall. The Edifiers are front ported so that won't bother them but the Presonus are rear ported and the wall will mess up their bass response. Rear ported speakers should be at least 1 foot from the rear wall.
@@sav7568 He is always turning all knobs to neutral - look some of his comments here.
What's the R1700BT equalizer settings in this demo? is it all the way to the max or the neutral 0 db? Thanks!
MegumiFF7 all flat at 0dB
Could the R1700BT's tweeters match the tweeters of Presonus Eris E4.5 if you add a few more gains on the treble knob?
I think You could match the high end in level but not in quality of sound. There is wide range for level adjustment though
would the Presonus be too harsh for simple youtube listening??
does decreasing bass using tone control or stuffing the bass port with fabric helps decrease the bloat on edifier?
Yes it does help a bit, but it will not help Edifier to sound more natural than E4.5 for example.
Have you tried Thonet & vander Kurbis, it seems to be another good budget monitors
Presonus Eris E4.5 much more clear sound
@Śpioch lol
Seria legal se fizesse a comparação de uma Mackie CR3 multimídia X Krk rokit. Pra sentirmos a diferença entre um monitor multimídia e um de referência.
OMG. You have switched channels at Presonus. Switch left speaker to right and try it again.
Could one get away with the Edifiers with all the EQ set to equal, using them for DJ mixing as a hobby, also I have a powered subwoofer and want to connect either speakers how would one go about that? I am an absolute basshead who mainly listens to techno.
Presonus E4.5 is better suited for mixing and connecting with subwoofer. What subwoofer you have?
@@DSAUDIOreview I believe it's the polk PSW111, nothing killer I ended up going with the little brother R1280DB since I'm shooting for casual mixing, any advice on balancing the EQ for quality sound?
E4.5 for me because it's more equal on all frequences ( missing some medium on R1700BT)
For me too. Plus it's got a bigger soundstage.
Thinking about buying an edifier R1700bt or an R2000DB. Is the price difference justifiable if I opt with the R2000DB?
I have not heard the R2000DB so I can not comment on how they compare
just get the R2000DB. The price difference is not much and you get a more premium build, larger woofer, tighter sound, better bi-amplification (120W RMS) and a better frequency response (r2000DB goes down until 55hz). R2000DB also has classic mode so you can select if you want flat or Dynamic sound. The 1700BT sounds like it has Dynamic on all the time.
the Eds sound better here nut it could just ne the front firing bass port hitting the Mic making sound fuller but also less midrange
For the price edifiers are a force to be reckoned with.
That's a valid point. If I was constrained by budget I'd still go with Eris, just downsizing to the 3.5s which don't sound at all shabby compared with their 4.5 sibling.
I just got my edifier speakers in a few days ago and have read reviews about them being great and I'll be honest I was blown away with the quality. I was not expecting the sound to be so good. I haven't even began to mess with the treble or bass yet. Straight out of the box they sound amazing. I absolutely recommend edifier to anyone reading this. I have no experience with the compared speaker in the video to be fair
would you break down the feedback between vocal and digital piano? Do you think Edifier will be good when it comes to instrument?
Nice videos...i'm looking for a new pair for pc/home studio/games... This eris have hiss when no music is playing? I see some people complain of hiss in eris E5. What is the best? eris 4.5 or edifier 1700 bt... edifier r2000db or eris 5? (I know jbl 305 it's great, but is expensive here).
I have not heard the R2000BT so I will not comment on them. E5 has the loudest hiss of the bunch, next up is E4.5 and the quietest is the R1700BT. I have to say that soundwise E4.5 is a nice middle ground between precise E5 and fun R1700BT. Both R1700BT and E4.5 are great value for money, but E4.5 would be better suited to any kind of home studio duties or music production.
Thanks! ^^
Yeah, hiss....that's why I want to sell my E4.5 just after two days of use...I cannot bear that sound and it's impossible to hear anything very quet, because that hiss is very lound (noticable).
How do the Eris 4.5 sound vs. the Edifier R1850? Any thoughts?
R1850DB sound almost the same as R1700BT
@@DSAUDIOreview thanks always for the replies. I have made a bunch of purchases in the past based on your reviews and recommendations. Keep it up!
Can the Edifier be used as a studio Monitor?
Edifier is tuned towards fun and enjoyment, it is not what You look for in studio monitor. Presonus is much better choice for music production.
Class AB biamped? Yes please.
Something is off on the recording of the 1700BT in this video. It sounds way better on the same songs in your other videos.

Hi Digital Stereophony, in need of your opinion.
Between PreSonus 4.5 vs Edifier R2000Db, which one would you choose the best sounding. Looking for quality fun speakers for desktop usage. Both are priced equally in Singapore.
Would appreciate if i could borrow your time and get a response back. Thanks!!
Go for R2000DB. Cheers!
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you!
Awesome Comparison..IMO, Presonus edge on this battle, but i can't believe how good also the edifier considering his price tag. I believe i will not regret buying either one of this. Thank you for this very helpful demo.
Presonus is nearfield studio monitor. Its amplification is totally different. Edifier has a nice crystal sound, but it is not designed for recording or mixing usage.
Presonus is a powered design with passive crossover and two channel amplifier, while Edifier is an active design with 4 separate amplifiers and active crossover...
Digital Stereophony Presonus eris 4.5 has a AB class linear amplifier, but the amplifier of Edifier is a D class. Presonus eris 4.5 is a budget home version of studio monitors in comparison with his big brothers, while Edifier r1700bt is one of the best product of this company, but still doesn't have a flat true sounding which you need for mixing of recording and you can hear clearly the colorized sounds of a pair of (good) multimedia speakers. Becouse it is a multimedia speaker! I like Edifier speakers and i had a pair of Edifier r1900tii. It doesn't mean that multimedia speaker are bad, just they are not designed for professional audio editing usage.
Eris the clear winner for me. i'd pay the premium.
If only E4.5 were just a bit more bassy and warm, it would be the perfect monitor set in this price range.
They have nice clean sound and balance, but a bit harsch, too forward and.. empty, if you're into electronic/hip hop music.
Maybe a slight boost in mid-upper bass with an EQ program would fix the 'problem'..(?)
Eris has some EQ controls on the back and I find they can help a lot in cases when you want a bit warmer sound with less forward mids. Of course, you can't get the strong bass out of it, but then it's better to have a good subwoofer anyway because Edifier's bass can be more boom than quality.
Plz tepl me how is bass response of edifier r1700bt compared to eris e4.5??
And i am looking for both djing and production..plz rply asap!!
Presonus has tighter and better balanced bass response. R1700BT has too much upper bass boost IMO. Get E4.5 for mixing and production
thnx for your response... will share my experiene after purchase
yo! purchased eris e4.5 and its bowing my roof away...thnx for the comparison and ur suggestion, im very much in love with the speakers
Awesome! Thanks for the follow up!
I Nominating preso for daw production 😊
The R1700BT is advertised as a bookshelf speaker. The Eris is advertised as a studio monitor.
Hence why the Eris sounds clearer and brighter and the R1700BT sounds more coloured
I would say the speakers will suit the persons particular needs. If you are doing lots of video editing, audio mixing and require as much sound clarity and transparency as possible, the Eris is the go to choice.
But if you are casual listener or someone who puts music as he goes on his business in his office, the colour and warm bass from the Edifiers may appeal to you more.
Before you buy Presonus Eris E4.5, watch some on possible hiss sound that cannot be reduced/avoided....Ask me if you want to know more about it, including audio spectrum or that hiss sound.
i think it's due to it being a class AB amplifier
There are three knobs in edifier one is for volume one for bass and one treble .....so if one wants a balance audio then make it less bassy by turning the bass knob and clean like presonus by twisting the treble knob....you can use it for both sound listening and as a monitors for music creation.......
I know this is old but listen with GOOD headphones... the difference is larger than you think. Even though they have more bass the Edifiers hides so much detail compared to the Presonus. One's a speaker one's a monitor. Know what you are buying.
I totally agree. Just after writing my comment, i scrolled and read yours. I share the exact though.
Hi what would say is best between the E4.5 and the Edifier R1280t, since this has a more neutral sound vs the R1700BT?
Between R1280T and E4.5 it is the Presonus product that has clear advantage in sound qualiy IMO. Definietly worth the extra money over R1280T
Hey man, Thanks for your reviews. They really helped in making my decision. I received my Eris e4.5 today, and they are amazing!!! I'm blown away by just how good they are, and this is without breakin period.
I'm just using them for music and video, not mixing or creating music, and I had never experienced being in the "center" of music...sound fells like its coming from the middle of my screen. Sound is clear and precise, without being flat. I made minor adjustments to the sound profile (via on speaker options) and they suit my needs perfectly. I'f I get a little crazy I may get a 8" Dayton woofer later on....but it really does not need it!
Eris E4.5 is a serious little monitor, I am not surprised You like it ;) Adding a subwoofer to E4.5 will give You another shock, I have tested E4.5 paired with Temblor T8 sub and it was awesome combination. Thanks for Your input!
presonus sound better on middle hight.. more reliable and true
Edifier....very nice.
presonus sounds natural where edifier sounds bass heavy which i prefer to stream music
the bass on the presonius is almost non existent...putting bass ports on the front would have helped for sure.
what would be your absolute go to for under $200?

hey, love your vids, my Eris 4.5's are arriving today, my brother in law has the Edifiers heard here, lives in the same house, so I got to hear those first hand in person, they sound great, I like the up-frontness of the Eris 4.5's though. I was wondering if it's possible to use the bass unit from my PC speaker 2.1 setup that I'll be replacing with the Eris. The bass unit has an amp on it and it drives 2 passive speakers, it's got its own volume pot, treble control and power on/off button. Thoughts?
Sorry for late response Raffi. I think You are right about Eris E4.5, compared to R1700BT it will also be stronger in the lower midrange and more detailed overall. I think it is possible to use them with Your subwoofer, but I think E4.5 will benefit more from a higher quality sub, those sub from budget 2.1 systems are not match for E4.5's performance. You can always try Yourself though. Cheers!
I have it working with the sub from my retail mainstream consumer speakers. The sub is terrible compared to the refined E4.5's, but it's going to have to do for now. It's just a temporary configuration though, as the sub is next on the list. Thanks again.
good day raffi, have you experienced any humming noise coming from the tweeters in eris e4.5? i have noticed several owners complained in YT and also amazon.com, which is a major bummer since i've been eyeing them for quite some time.
no humming noise, they're completely silent. I'm wondering if those experiencing the humming are having USB ground loop issues elsewhere in their setup.
i assume too. ruclips.net/video/fuuyZfQgNjc/видео.html one owner blamed the cheap mains transformer as the culprit, and yet others in amazon had no issues/hums whatsoever even after 1 year ownership. i'm heading to singapore (no presonus dealer where I live) end of this month and will be getting a pair, fingers crossed. btw just saw your channel, perhaps you can make a video on your e4.5? :) thanks a lot for the feedback. really appreciate.
Presonus Eris E4.5 vs KRK Rokit Rp5 G3 please!!!

In my country presonus price is twice of edifier. Is it still worth it?
Nope
@@DSAUDIOreview thank you for the reply
Edifier seems a Little bit more V shaped lacking some mids.
Presonus lacking too much bass frequences and pushing too much mid-high.
Overall i prefer edifier...
If you're experiencing humming or buzzing, try a 3 to 2 prong adapter. Problem solved.
L R my E4.5s have a two prong plug to begin with.
Current pricing (Feb 2022) for these items on Italian Amazon, plus the Eris 3.5, all bluetooth models (I don't think Edifier offers a non-bluetooth version of the 1700's, so comparing like to like):
PreSonus 3.5: 119 euros
Edifier R1700BT: 170 euros
PreSonus 4.5: 225 Euros
To my ears, going from the 3.5s to the Edifiers is a full step up, whereas going from the Edifiers to the 4.5s is... a half step up and sideways? They do sound better but, 55 euros worth of better at these price points? You be the judge.
The r1700bt is clear and punchy bass
2:20 where the basses disappear
..and high-end re-appears. For me, the best studio monitors at this price point would have the rich tones of the Edifier but the clarity and articulation of the Presonus.
Edifier R1700BT рулит
edifiers seem overwhelmingly bassy. everything seems a bit sloppier and less resolved. Might be a fun listen, but don't seem to be too concerned with accuracy.
U can change that on the side
Presorus Ceres 3.5 or r17000bt ?
R1700BT
By far
Sorry, again, the Presonus just seem a lot more accurate throughout all frequencies. The Edifiers seem a bit hollow and shallower in sound.. not as full. They also tend to sound a bit tinny at the brighter frequencies. This can fool your ears into believing the Edifiers are more clear, but that's just because the fullness is drowned out and all you hear is more hiss from the tweeters. The Presonus hold more of the sound and fills you with a better range at close distance. Remember, these are meant to be studio monitor speakers, so you should be just a few feet away while listening and absorbing every single note, vocal and octave. In my opinion, the Edifiers just fall short in this respect!!! Forget loudness, accuracy and fidelity... then maybe the extra fifty bucks in your pocket will make you happier than a much better audio experience!!!
R1700BT - Multifunctional speakers for your everyday needs
Eris is designed as active studio monitor, for completely different audience. Of course shouldn't sound the same. One is for relaxation and other is for work. Believe me, you will hardly enjoy music on any studio monitor more than on proper hi-end audio speakers apart from really high end studio monitors, which can do both sometimes.
@@majsterV Isn't it possible to make studio monitors sound similar to multimedia speakers using an EQ? I mean - if they are more or less close to flat AFR then it should be possible to adjust the parts of the AFR to your liking to get that "disco smile" effect that Edifier has (except maybe the boomy bass because Presonus doesn't have that front port).
Or am I wrong and EQ presets are not enough and I have to buy a totally different speakers for listening to music (but remember - we are talking about the price range of Eris 4.5 and Edifier R1700 / R1800 / R1850 / R1280 and not real audiophile speakers)?
no alexander, u r deaf.
@@erdincylmaz2842 that's not nice, Edifiers are actually worse in this head to head.
@@camelCased the edifier r1700bt has a dsp that will help with low volume listening boosting bass at low volume, lowering it at higher volume , a vshape equed eris 4.5 will not be able to do that you will have to readjust bass level each time you change global volume
