"If your application is simple and you whish to use your S/PDIF interface that almost all 4,8,16,24 digital recorders have this w"
Feature:
Well I bought it for the S/PDIF input feature, but other than that nothing specail.
Quality:
The quality of the cab looks durable. However I would never put any type of amplified speaker in danger. They should last as long as they are not abused.
Value:
No doubt these are very inexpensive, so if you are into getting just sound for little moneies, this will work.
Desirability:
This is just a part of my overall setup. I hope to upgrade from these
Sound:
These monitors are fine for my application. I did purchase them for the S/PDIF interface. The higher end higher priced systems did not have that feathure. Knowing that my output source would be S/PDIF, and I mainly write guitar arrangements a good mid to hight range sound would work as long as there was no buzz from the monitors and these proved to be very quite. If you are playing MP3's based on the nature of what they are you will note the sound is sub par and the low end muffeled
Ease of Use:
Very simple to use but, they should be user friendly
Support:
Have had no reason to call but from some past exsperince, Behringer techs are honest about their products and will tell you whats up.
Overall:
I will keep them until they die but I will not replace with the same. At this price and knowing that Behringer products are not really that service friendly..when they die, they die.

" Sweet monitors, great looks, good price, iffy sound."
Feature:
There was a good amount of features for sure. Along with the name, great looks and a great price, there was 24 bit/192 kHz D/A converters, and optical and digital coaxial inputs. There was also rca and trs inputs, bass and treble knobs, and separate volume controls for analog and digital. One thing that did surprise me was the speaker cone. From the pictures I thought it was silver metal. It is actually white plastic.
Quality:
The craftsmanship seemed great. I noticed no blemishes. The cabinet definitely seemed sturdy. The only problem, other than the sound that didn't suit my tastes, was the buzz/rattle that came from the left speaker when I was monitoring keyboard. I'm sure it was just a defect and sent them back.
Value:
I wished the sound quality of these speakers was better in the low ranges so I could get another pair and have some good looking, good sounding monitors from behringer for a nice price. But, I think I'm going to look for another pair.
Sound:
These monitors sound rather muffled in the low frequencies. There is no distinct bass punch, just sort of a low bass wash. The mids and highs didn't seem that bad. I have had good experiences with Behringer and thought I'd try these out. Great price. Great looks. Sound just wasn't that great in the lows. Also, the left speaker would buzz/rattle at certain frequencies. I'm pretty sure the woofer was hitting something behind it as it flexed.
Ease of Use:
In all honesty, I didn't find the bass and treble controls to be very effective or responsive. Maxing out the treble knob did not seem to alter the sound all that much. The bass knob increased the muddy rumble. Other than that, two thumbs up.
Support:
I've owned a used behringer mixer for about 4 years and have had no problems with it. In this case, it was just a slight defect that zzounds took care of. I have never had to deal with Behringer's customer support, but like I said, my experiences with the company's products have been great.
Overall:
Sound is just not quite tight. Everything else is pretty decent.
