  • Hey in case you haven’t got anything yet, I’ll throw in my few cents.

    Mic wise, I would get a dedicated microphone. When buying a headset usually the money goes into the headphones and the mic is just an add-on. I have a mic that requires an actual audio interface to run but I’d get something like a blue yeti or a Audio Technica AT2020 (USB). If you want something clip on I’d look at the mod-mic, maybe a little pricey though.

    Headphones wise, I can only really talk about what I use for gaming which is a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s. They are closed back but are really nice all the same. A friend has a pair of DT990s which are open back so that may be more your thing.

    Hope that helps.


  • Hi! Thanks for posting.

    TL;DR Yes! Monitor speakers will be a huge step up. Never tried the PreSonus Eris range. Shop around a bit first to look at alternatives.

    Going from built-in TV speakers to a dedicated system will be a huge improvement almost no matter what you get. Now the fact you are looking at monitor speakers in particular PreSonus’s range tells me you are looking for something for mixing/mastering.

    With that in mind, I’ve never tried the PreSonus Eris range so I can’t comment on their quality. However, for a huge leap up (not in price), I would recommend KRK classic 5s or a pair of Focal Alpha 50s as a nicer starter to you audio production journey.

    Shop around a bit. There are some really good guides out their for finding the correct studio monitors for you. Hope that helps!
