Ideal for home studios, these monitor speakers feature magnetically-shielded 5-inch low frequency transducers, 1-inch Soft-Dome tweeters, a Class-D 41 Watt RMS amplifier and more.

A great alternative for home studios or just great desktop audio would be the PreSonus Eris 3.5-inch Professional Multimedia Reference Monitors at under $100 shipped for the pair. They aren’t going to pump out quite as much power but they are even more suitable for a casual desktop experience with front-mounted controls and a headphone jack. Rated 4+ stars from over 640 Amazon customers.
