I tried both of those, as well as a few others... like audioengine, edifier, dayton, adam, focal, genelec, and the normal suspects for PC like Logitech, Klipsh, etc... and many more, there are SO MANY Big Grin. Of all of them, for the best bang for the buck that also sounded like no compromise AMAZING speakers for music, with a stereo image that was insane, my favorite were the Yamaha HS7, HS8 speakers. They are a lot more than this (like 500 a pair I think), but way cheaper than speakers that sounded in the same ballpark sound quality wise like the focal, genelex, and adams. They are AMAZING.

I ended up going with a pair of Energy Veritas V2.0Ri's that I already had on hand, because comparing to everything I demoed, they were AWESOME. But if I didn't have these, and I couldn't find Event Opal monitors (arguably the best ever made, but I have been looking for 10 years and haven't seen a pair for under like $4k, they stopped making them Frown), then Yamaha would be #1 on my list.

If you have a Guitar center near you, they have a bunch of these on display to demo, and you can bring your own source(s) too... best way to see what you like without going through buying, demoing, and returning.

I am a professional audio engineer, and a music venue technical director/A1. I've mixed in studios outside of that since the 2000s. I've owned a number of low, mid fi, and hi end monitors. Everything from m-audio to genelec
This is a good deal at this price, i would buy these IMMEDIATELY for $200/pair. There's nothing this cheap that will compete with these at all. I actually have a set of presonus monitors on my desk as rinky dink gaming speakers that i absolutely love for that.
Would i use these for serious monitoring or anything? no. But these would kick ass for a bedroom or small living room vinyl setup, monster desktop speakers for gaming, bedroom DJ setup, etc.
The cheapest monitors Worth Using As Monitors are the Kali audio IN series, or yea, as someone else mentioned, the yamaha HS. Personally i find the yamahas a little "harsh" and fatiguing, but i like how you can crank them without them sounding bad.
The presonus speakers do everything the, for example, KRKs do at a price that reflects what those should actually cost. They're Fun, not super serious. And i personally think these will be just as good as any of the audioengine/etc Not Good but priced like it speakers out there. I also absolutely, without a doubt, would buy these as a first set of monitors to just make tracks in ableton/etc on. You don't need Super Good monitors for that, or even like necessarily decent ones! Pay any of the numerous sites online to master your tracks if you make something you're proud of.

For everyone asking, these do appear to be near-field as with all the presonus models i've seen so far. Only the biggest cheap monitors(IE krk rokit 10) are "midfield", at least on paper. i do believe these would perform perfectly fine in a mid-field setup as "fun" speakers though. Buy these! spend your extra money on room treatments(boxes/traps, not the stupid peel and stick foam), or even just putting a rug up on a wall and filling your room with stuff so it isn't an echo-y box.

Which JBLs do you have? I might be in the same boat in terms of A/B testing.
I should have been a little more precise knowing the audience here, but went for brevity. I've got the JBL 305s on my studio desk currently.

So when I say A/B testing, I mostly mean "What's my stuff sound like on 5s vs 8s?" (Not, "What is the difference in sound between these two different 8" brands?"...)

How would these be for nearfield listening? These have be a price mistake I'm guessing.
Very, very bad most likely. Every presonus that's been measured has ranked from bad to abysmal. No reason to think this one will be any different.

Read few reviews which basically says these are good sonically but very spartan in options. That's OK, I just wanted some large studio monitors to play which but I didn't want to pay a lot lol
You're wasting your money on these for sure. Frequency response, if every other presonus is to be used as a guide, will likely be horrific.

It'll sound like trash. JBL has relatively cheap portable setups that work well. These are more trailer park speakers.

Thanks, OP. US Ground to Georgia for 2 of them was $11.45 for me. I had north of $100 in rewards to burn () which made this deal a no-brainer.

That being said, I have two pairs of JBL 306P MKIIs -- one for my standing desk and one for my seated desk setup in my home office. Anybody know if the JBLs or PreSonus would be better? I don't do much mixing -- just general music listening (and have a big ol' subwoofer tied to it).
Those JBL by a thousand country miles. JBL makes some trash too, but not the 306P. Those are quality.

I have a sneaking suspicion these are going to be way too big for me, but we shall see. Thanks for posting OP. Sure seems like a great deal. It'll be interesting to A/B these with my smaller JBLs. That is...if they ship. I'm curious if they'd just cancel the orders if it's a pricing error. FYI Capital One had a 3% cash back at Adorama (it's actually listed as 6% but not for what these fall into).
It's most likely not a price error. They're dirt cheap speakers from a dirt cheap company.

How dumb would this be for nearfield listening on a desk for music and gaming? I have a pair of Kali LP-6v2s which I use for this purpose in a medium sized bedroom. They are 2.5 feet away from me and 3 feet apart between a monitor on some Framework desk stands. Would this be a terrible idea? I know these are bigger but for the price are they meaningful upgrade?
Your Kali are quality. Don't go to these trash speakers.

More bass extension with 8", and less distortion, especially at lower frequencies, all things being equal. But all things are not equal with eris vs your jbl, not at all. Your jbl are much better. If you want to improve your sound, your first step is to get a sub. Those Klipsch RP that keep coming on sale will do. I suggest 12" or bigger, but a great 10" ported can go to 20hz. Your second step is to do some room EQ, either manually with REW and your audio player of choice, or more thoroughly with Dirac or similar. Your third step is to upgrade those speakers or, maybe, to just get more of them and go 5.1.

These speakers look good, 8 inch coaxial active monitors for $100 each? Seems like a good deal.

I am using a pair of Bowers and Wilkins 706 S3's for my office setup but I want more bass extension. Do you think these would be better.

Just add a sub to your setup. It'll sound much better. I have a set of Presonus Eris E5 and they are the worst sounding speakers I own 🤭.

Is this entire thread ai? I lost so many brain cells reading the comments and only learned that these speakers are either complete garbage or an amazing deal.

These are studio monitors. They're intended for a flat response and works be particularly bad as DJ speakers.

Honest question, is there a better setup for $200? I get people saying these are trash in terms of actual studio quality or frequency response, but I'd prefer not to mess with a subwoofer in my space (hence I'm wanting larger drivers), and I'm also on a tight budget. Jbl 6" are 2x the price, jbl 8" are 2.5x, and Yamaha 8" are 4x. What else in the $200-$250 range would be better?

Go for something like the Electro Voice EKX series, maybe EKX12. Consider adding the matching subwoofer, EKX 18SP. Thats probably a reasonable start. Definitely dont want studio monitors, different design and use case.
