I own both the Presonus Eris 3.5s (which in terms of both price bracket and performance, should be considered Mackie's closest competitor). And, to me, the sound quality of the Mackie product is simply better for desktops, providing a fuller, flatter sound, as opposed to Presonus' more punchy acoustics. I have heard it said repeatedly that the Eris possesses a slight edge when it comes to studio music production, but IMO if you're going to be doing that, you really want to invest in professional quality monitors in the 350-400 dollar price-range (it has also been repeatedly pointed out that the Presonus Eris' 3.5 version 2.0 is in every way inferior to the 1.0, so if you cannot get the 1.0s [Amazon only sells the 2.0], that's also something to consider). But for having the speakers 2-3 feet from your head, and for small-room "presence," Mackie definitely wins out - everything from the base to the treble is just more robust. They also weigh more than the Presonus monitors, seem to be made out of a higher-quality plastic, have the option to swap arrangement (so the powered speaker can become either the left or right-dominant), and feature a switch to alter sound behavior depending on if they are intended for desk or room-wide sound production. So, yeah - Mackie wins. Read more

They were excellent to start with, and after a few months, wouldn't work. The headphone port on the front worked at a low volume, but that was it. I have no idea why because they did not get moved from where they were, just turned off and on. Very strange and very annoying because they went well with my desk. Now I need to get new ones and I will be sure to steer well clear of this brand in future. Very annoying as they really went with my setup, but oh well. Read more

I have owned the 824’s before so I knew Mackies were good monitors but I bought these smaller ones just for my Dj set up & I’m really surprised in a good way Huge sound fir the size Really good clarity I honestly don’t know how they have done it Read more

Produto em otimo estado chegou antes do previsto satisfeito Read more

Muy buena compra, llego antes de lo estimado Súper recomendado Read more

Excellent speakers. The only thing is I wish my phone would automatically connect to the speaker's bluetooth instead of me having to always trigger the connection. I'm sure there's a setting for that somewhere. Besides that, this is an excellent speaker, the bass & treble are perfectly in balance. Read more

Caixa multimídia de ótima qualidade Read more

These small studio monitor speakers are incredibly impressive for their size(enough size 3RCx) The sound quality is outstanding - crisp, clear and well-defined. The bass is ok (but don’t expect like home theatre or 2.1 normal sub woofer with speakers) because all sounds are flat but you can clearly hear every single instrument sounds of the songs /music (depends on input) . They're compact and easy to move around, making them ideal for smaller home studios or for those in need of a good acoustics listeners, I recommend these speakers for anyone looking for good quality music making/mixing or listening chilling vibe music (Led Zeppelin , nirvana, etc…), if you need more bass you can buy a subwoofer separately for 199$, high quality sound without the need for large, expensive equipment. , Read more

Sound eccellente ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo! Read more

Estos monitores los compré para usar en mi mini estudio casero, que no es mas que una laptop e interfaz de grabación. El resultado me pareció genial. Cumplieron mis expectativas, tiene mucha presencia el bajo y quizá le falta un poco de agudos pero con un programa de Ecualización de audio se soluciona y queda perfecto. Muy contento con esta compra, precio económico y el producto muy bueno. Para reproducir mi música de la computadora va genial. Para escuchar mis grabaciones de guitarra va perfecto. Sin duda es un producto que puede satisfacer al usuario que pretende tener un mini estudio. Read more

Background: I'm coming to these by way of two different sets of "computer speakers." First, the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 system and, more recently a "holdover" set of speakers the Logitech Z200. The former is iconic and well-respected in certain circles, the second is more like a $20 pair of throwaways. Perhaps more relevant is that I'm also coming to these by way of a few different sets of headphones: The Sennheiser momentums, Audio Technica ATH-M50, and Philips Fidelio L1. All of which I find great for different reasons. First Impressions: I really didn't know what to expect with these. I bought them at 47 reviews, but they were all either 5 or 4-star reviews, so I took a chance. I wanted the JBL LSR305 but do not have the physical space where these were going (*sadface*). My first thought on the packaging was "wow these speakers are going to be smaller than I thought." As soon as I opened them, though, I realized that contents were just the two speakers and they were actually more like what I expected. Packaging was simple enough, two speakers, cables, and (thankfully) a couple of foam stands/"feet" to isolate them a bit. I was a bit worried about the "neon green" and, let's face it, the color is a bit tacky and juvenile, but as soon as I heard these speakers, I was over it. Setup was simple enough, about 10 minutes total, and that was mainly because of where they were placed. If these were just set up on a flat desk, I'd wager no more than 5 minutes for the setup. I bought the Hosa CMP159 Stereo Breakout, 3.5mm to dual 1/4in. TRS cables and skipped the included cables. This was a good decision because its obviously a heavier gauge cable, which I like. These plugged right into the stereo out 3.5mm (green) plug on my soundcard. No hassles at all. Overall, a very simply install/setup. Just be sure everything's off when plugging everything together. First Listening selections: I have a pretty large .flac (free lossless audio codec) collection of music, so I can appreciate listening to something other than your average 128kb mp3 file (as far as digital music goes). These speakers DO expose poor fidelity tracks. The first thing I turned to was some Buena Vista Social Club, a bit of Pearl Jam, some tracks from the Roots, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, a bit of Enya, and finally some classic Beastie Boys. I turned to movies and sampled Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Baraka, Zombieland, and The Town. Performance: My very first response at all was a smile. Take that for what it's worth. I will say that these speakers are really great, but you have to understand what you're buying. With a 4" midrange and .75" tweeter, these covered about 85% of my catalog with the juicy detail that both of my previous speaker systems were never intended to do. I like them a lot. Considering their frequency response, they aren't going to get you into the sub-bass frequencies, and I experienced that maybe more often than I wanted to when listening to bass-heavy tracks. For movies, I didn't notice it at all (which was great!). In movies, the bass was tight and punchy overall. I would consider these ideal for that purpose. I would also say that this would make them great for gaming as well. They really seem to be glorious little workboxes for the vast majority of the listening time. They produce more than enough sound for any reasonable application and if you think they don't, you either have damaged hearing or you're 15 years old and are working on it. Incidentals: I bought these knowing exactly what I wanted and hoping these would fit the bill. I wanted a decent set of speakers for watching movies and occasionally listening to music in my home office. These are great for that. I'm a little bummed about the lack of sub-bass, but I can't fault the speakers for that because, again, they aren't rated for it in the first place. Besides, for me, I honestly I do more music listening through my headphones. I would rate them at 4.5 - stars, but they're getting the benefit of the doubt because in all advertised respects, they deserve it. If circumstances were the same, I would buy these again without hesitation. If I had a bit more room in my office, I would probably try to pick up the JBL LSR305s (for $100 to $150 more) since they extend down to a claimed 43Hz (which I believe since I sampled them at Guitar Center). Hope this helped.  Read more

The only bad thing about these speakers is that when the volume is at max the sound gets a bit distorted but you don’t need to put the volume to the maximum they have a decent sound quality for the price your paying. Read more
