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?

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.

Thank you for doing what you do, subbed.

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.

Thank you for the comparison ! Although some people are going to complain that you can’t really ‘hear’ the speakers over KZread , 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 !

I think Edified more in high frequency, presonus good for monitor studio

This was a huge help, thanks!

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.

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.

Thanks for the great demo! This was just what I needed. I'm probably going to buy the Presonus Eris now :)

i think it's due to it being a class AB amplifier

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

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.

great work. I like your channel a lot

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 ;)

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!

@@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.

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!

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??

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.

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 problem is that the subwoofer is behind, so yo cant use them everywhere as the edifier.

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.

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.

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.

Did you make a mistake naming it? is the edifier that has pumped bass, and e4.5 clarity...

can you make a comparison between eris e5 and r1700bt?

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.

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?

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?

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.

Body (R1700BT) vs Clarity (Eris E4.5) am I wrong? / anyone agree?

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

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.

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??)

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.......

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.

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.

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)?

@@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

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...

the bass on the presonius is almost non existent...putting bass ports on the front would have helped for sure.

If you're experiencing humming or buzzing, try a 3 to 2 prong adapter. Problem solved.

Presonus has tighter and better balanced bass response. R1700BT has too much upper bass boost IMO. Get E4.5 for mixing and production

Edifier R1700BT рулит

Close your eyes, the Presonus are notably better. Warmer sound, bit more forward (less recessed), catches more frequencies that are missing with the 1700 which sounds a bit hollower by comparison.

Presonus Eris E4.5 sound warmer, smoother, and more bass heavy which I like. The Edifers which I came here to check out, sound tinny, or colder. If you like highs, this is what you want imo. After listening I think the Edifers would be great with a little sub.

I'm perfectly happy with my edifiers but... They're deep. They prevent me from using a dual monitor setup damn it

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

Edifier has overwhelming bass and lacks mids. Presonus has more balanced sound with controlled bass response.

..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.

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!
