Best for Secondary desk playback on small budgets
At this price, the Eris 3.5 monitors serve as an entry-level playback reference rather than a tool for critical low-end mixing. The 3.5-inch drivers cannot reproduce true sub-bass, masking kick drum and bass guitar relationships. Buyers should pair them with open-back mixing headphones to check balance across the lower octaves.
What we like
- Low entry price for a stereo monitor pair
- Acoustic tuning adjustments on rear panel
- Front-panel aux input and headphone jack
What to weigh up
- Inadequate bass response below 80Hz
- Unbalanced master-slave amplifier architecture
