Combines a neutral sound signature with the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity at a reasonable price
You get a fairly balanced and neutral sound that is good enough for mixing with the convenience and versatility of a Bluetooth connection. It'll be hard for you to find this feature set in other options within the price range.

Con
Front LEDs are too bright
You might find the LEDs on the front of the speakers to be distracting. They are very bright and can get annoying, especially if you tend to use these speakers in a dark area.

Fairly neutral sound signature
The BT5’s audio output is on the neutral side, making it great for mixing use. The highs are clear and have good detail, so you’ll be able to pick out the nuances of the music. The mids are warm and full, so vocals will not be lost in the mix. The bass is slightly boosted so the low-end has some punch, but does not overpower the other frequencies.

Con
Connecting via Bluetooth has a significant effect on the sound

Balanced and accurate sound with great mids
These speakers are very close to accurate, and will allow you to hear music as intended by the producer. The highs are crisp, airy and are quite revealing. The bass is punchy and controlled instead of overpowering and bloated. The mids sound very good with these speakers. They are rich, warm and very natural, so vocals will stand out in a good way.

Con
Bass may not be powerful enough
The Eris E4.5’s bass output is tight and punchy, but may not be powerful enough for some. A sub-woofer may be needed if you are after boomy bass.

Con
Some find the highs to be harsh
The highs can get fatiguing to listen to as they can get too forward and harsh. This can be remedied by reducing the treble level using the tone control knob at the back side of the speaker.
