What we liked

  • + Density is stated: 50kg/m3 acoustical foam designed to hold up to 16 lb without changing shape.
  • + Sized for 3 to 4.5 inch speakers, with PreSonus Eris E3.5 and E4.5, Mackie CR3 and CR4 and Edifier models named.
  • + Multiple configurations let you angle the pads, and each pack has two pads for left and right speakers.

Trade-offs

  • - Too small for 5 inch and larger monitors, which need the bigger pads elsewhere in this guide.
  • - At 1.4 inches high the lift is modest, so speakers on a low desk may still sit below ear level.
