Frequently Asked Questions

The HS5s are often considered more 'neutral,' but the Eris 5s offer a slightly more pleasing, less fatiguing sound, particularly for extended listening sessions.
They're genuinely useful; the -2dB and -4dB options help tame boomy bass frequencies common in smaller rooms and improve stereo imaging.
While not a replacement for high-end studio monitors, they're capable of decent mixing decisions, especially when paired with good headphones for cross-referencing.
