@@xasco0 well yes, for everything in need of some hard bass, they are practically designed for...but with general purpose the Studio 5's are better, much more balanced and clean.
@@wolfwilkopter2231 On paper they are. In person they are not. I just sent them back. The Yamaha's are even better than these. I 'd pick the KAli, Yamaha's, KRK, over these everyday.
The Presonus 5s have a recessed tweeter that is now aligned directly above the coil of the bass driver. This results in less phase issues and overall sharper imaging.
I have the eris 3.5 but don't know if they are good enough to mix n master. I got the Eris 5 but they were way too big! I like the vid shows that the classics have a smaller foot print!! I def am thinking of upgrading to the classics
I have the Eris 3.5 too. Since my room is not acoustically treated, I closed the bass tube and lowered the low-end control completely. It sounds fantastic to me. Don't be afraid to make adjustments on the back!
@@razvannastase7841 NO! Grab some good headphones an listen to this video: " PreSonus E5 XT vs KRK Rokit 5 G4 || Sound & Frequency Response Comparison " Then remember that the Studio 5 are pretty much the replacement for the E5 XT with some nice tweaks and improvements, for example the crossover got shifted from 3 to 3.5KHz, the waveguide got wider, the woofer slightly recessed, the case improved internally to reduce unwanted resonance and so on. I have them here and they sound amazing, especially with rock, metal and co.
@@razvannastase7841 Nope, Presonus Studio 5, they are great with everything metal, rock and co... Studio 5 are pretty much updated and upgraded, tweaked E5 XT's and they already ended the G4's with metal and co...there are nice comparison videos with the XT vs the G4 out there and the Studio 5 are even better. (said the one owning and listening over Studio 5's^^ )
@@peterparker6724 Hey Peter, good choice mate. :) They are quite amazing, especially for the quite affordable price, got my pair for 278(139each) tho they seem to extend the offer for quite long. Tho i wanted to use em primarily with my AE-7 and not with my Interface, so i had to hook em up at a Klark Teknik Pro DI AV2 DI22P and got them from RCA to balanced XLR that way and eliminated pretty much every noise some ppl complain about that way as well. To bad they only accept 1 input tho, otherwise i couldve used them at both, jacking em up with a quarter inch jack to the interface and XLR with the Soundcard, depending on what i'm doing, but well, i have em free standing more or less, so no problem to change plugs on the fly.
maan you make my choice harder to make lol ... i had the old genereration of presonus e5 for more than 6 or 7 years and i can tell you that i never increased the volume to the maximum level , cause it is just too high too powerful , and everytime i tried to do that even after using them for many years i can smell the smell of new monitors when i increase the volume , madness.. i think the presonus are well made durable and got a good quality , but im in love with that yellow color hhhh , maybe i should buy both hhh , but bro u forgot to mention that the new presonus got better for paning mixing with that wide 120 degree , so maybe presonus is the right choise and still they are 40 dollars cheaper ))))
The KRKs have a known issue that the glue on the board melts and shorts the speaker. It happened to mine and when I spoke to the repair guy he said it was a regular thing with those speakers
I have the Presonus Studio 5 and I have to say they sound alot better than the pair in this video. You must have your source at max level for these to distort as I put mine to test after watching this and they do not distort at all to the naked ear at max level on the speaker itself. Also the KRK 5 has a built in limiter which stops distortion whereas if it did not then yes they would distort to. The Presonus don't sound veiled either like they seem to here and have plenty of low end so much so in fact that I am not sure if I need a sub with the Studio 5. I also had the Mackie MR524 and the studio 5 sounds better. Better balance of sound, more even handed with all of the frequency's and while the MR524 has a deeper low it is not any clearer than the Studio 5. The Studio 5 also has a wider dispersion than my Mackie, a wider soundstage which is nice. What I like about the Studio 5 is I can pop and drop these in my front room for playback with Spotify. I wanted to do that with the Mackies but the vocals didn't work that well there, far too forward almost separated from the rest of the music which made it difficult to listen to comfortably. I also have to say that these Studio 5s need a bit of time to bed in, out of the box the had next to no bass but after an hour or so the bass loosened up and started to flow. I use these for mostly Gospel Reggae and dance in general and have to say, I will be keeping them. They do get quite warm at the back but that should not be a concern especially if you buy these new with a 3 year warranty. They certainly do not get as hot as my old M Audio BX8 D3, those were volcanic! Incidentally, Presonus specifically designed these the new Eris Studio 5 to work with their new Eris Sub 8bt which is why they have only have mid and high tuning on the rear and no bass control other than low frequency cut off for what is needed for the sub, something people should bare in mind if they are going to purchase this speaker.
I've just listened to this with my Studio 5's linked to my 202HD via TRS and they sound amazing...even without the sub, which you really dont need if you dont have to squeeze out the last few Hz down range and maybe annoy some neighbors or so...not to mention to be careful not messing up your tracks mixing with an active sub...they have a nice punch and are crystal clear and wide on top. Also i got mine for just 278bucks here in Germanistan...an absolute steal.
@@wolfwilkopter2231 Yep, very nice monitors! I don’t use subs at all these days, overkill on the bass imo. If you need more bass just save and buy a bigger monitor. The bass when using a sub never really ties to the frequencies in a way that I am happy with.
Seems like the KRKs are applying a limiter in the sound test (volume increase), that's why they do not distort like the Presonuses, they rely on you to not distort, unlike the KRK which have a failsafe
Definitely the presonus is far nicer for just listening to music. However, if you are mixing / making your own music, the Rokit is better as you can hear more frequencies due to its flatter response.
Eris 5 all day! If you need bass get the matching subwoofer 😂. Presonus is better in all frequencies except the bass which is already fix adding the sub.
You are right ( i checked the prices) but the visual you used is incredibly contradictory to what you are trying to convey. Look at it again. 0:24 you show 1 monitor with a price, but it's the price of a pair. 0:28 you show 1 monitor with a price with the price of a single one. Also you say both come in at around 200 dollars, In stead of both PAIRS come in at around 200 dollars. This with the fact that you show a single monitor conveys you are talking about single ones. This is especially confusing because it's very common with these kinda speakers to be sold seperately. The only way you can spot it, is because it says monitors with the Presonus, but you would need to pause the video and read to spot that.
The KRK's definitely sound much more flat and you can hear more detail across the whole frequency range compared to the Presonus. Don't be fooled by the Presonus sounding nicer, for music production you want a flat sound, not a nice sound.

We seriously need to plant a tracker into one of his devices to track these secret gem performances.
I have the Classic 5s. Through this video, the Presonus sounds a bit muddier and darker.

Great video! Exactly what i was looking for
also a very helpful video thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Would you recommend Eris BT5 2nd gen for usual music listening?
they just came out with 2.0 after like 6 months having the 1.0 wish knew that and would been better to get those or is it just a design change?
The KRKs have a known issue that the glue on the board melts and shorts the speaker. It happened to mine and when I spoke to the repair guy he said it was a regular thing with those speakers
thats only the krk g2s. g3s and classic, g4s are fine.

Ey guys how about M Audio BX5 the bass in it is too much and though BX6 Pro?
Hello, I'm an electronic music DJ (deep house, techno). What is your recommendation between KRK rokit 5g4 or Presonus eris studio 5?
For electronic music, most of us lean towards the KRK, so I’d go for those
Which ones for hip-hop music ?@@thozimusic
awesome review 💯💯. what's the name of the song?
It's called "ocean" but it's not released
@@thozimusic eish alright malooms 🙏 thank you.🙏💯
How about those m audio behind you hehehe?
Seems like the KRKs are applying a limiter in the sound test (volume increase), that's why they do not distort like the Presonuses, they rely on you to not distort, unlike the KRK which have a failsafe
Does the KRK have any hiss, like some studio speakers out there?
Nope, no hiss at all but a interface is highly recommended
Krk sound more clean even at a higher volume.
Which one sounds better for music listening?
Definitely the presonus is far nicer for just listening to music. However, if you are mixing / making your own music, the Rokit is better as you can hear more frequencies due to its flatter response.
KRK wins from my view 😍
Eris 5 all day! If you need bass get the matching subwoofer 😂. Presonus is better in all frequencies except the bass which is already fix adding the sub.
Hello Thozi. What brand says quality trs cables and where can I get them
The brand doesn't matter that much. Just make sure its TRS and not TS
Krk all day
en el video no se aprecia de forma correcta la calidad del sonido se escuchan las dos mal
The presonus sound a step above the krks. Krk is too v shaped. Mids don't exist
How about the yamaha hs8?
One of the best 💯
Whats the track name
It’s an unreleased track by a friend of mine
@@thozimusic has it released yet? I love this song
@@thozimusici like this track!!
Is there all that distortion in the actual track?
Not really, I used both speakers for months at a time. I only used that track cause I like it and I knew I wouldn’t get a copyright strike with it
1:21 starts touching the membrane ;D
How is 120 dollar around 200 dollar?
240 dollar for a pair vs 400 dollar for a pair.
240 dollar is closer to 200 dollar than 120 dollar is....
It’s $200 for the pair, not just one speaker. So that’s $200 vs $240.

Krk
Between krk and presonus I'd choose the Kali LP6
😂😂 good choice
Studio 5 is rubbish trust me , cheap and nasty, they don't translate good, however the new m audio sixty forty blows both of these into the water
Le ho ascoltate con delle cuffie AKG e mi piacciono molto di più le KRK
I don't know what people think about the presonus hehehe, those speakers lack mids and bass, you don't understand anything they express
PLEASE DONT USE VACCUM IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR SPEAKER. USE TAPE.
Thanks for sharing! I still haven’t had mine cave it like that but if it does happen, I’ll be sure to remember this
What kind of tape are you referring to? I like your tip.
Masking tape or duct tape (less adhesive)
