Feature:
Plug and play, 3 buttons on rear to adjust. Nothing much more is needed. Can be daisy chained to other amped speakers. Don't bother trying to hook up non-powered, does not work, I tried. Maybe Behringer will think to adapt speakers so they can amp a non powered too!

Quality:
I have used them at over 25 gigs in the past 2 months without a hitch, Knock on Wood. Compliments from my customers abound. They are plastic, but not scratch resistant. I have banged the crap out of them and they still pound the sound. Great price, great quality!

Value:
By far the one of the lowest priced best sounding amplified speaker on the market with a name that other DJ's and Sound Technicians trust to get the job done.

Desirability:
Very Sleek and Sexy stylish speakers. Just look at them real close and compare to the other more expensive brands. My clients look at these and compliment me on the looks of my rig and my new Behringer B212A's!!

Sound:
Pure and clean, crisp Lows, and Mids, and if you don't want to buy a sub, you don't need too, just put this on your sub output, crank the low all the way to the right and thump all night. My son hooked this to his IPOD direct and plugged into a 120 AC adaptor in his car, he cranked it about 3/4 of the way and the hum was phenomenal. His $1500 system does not sound near as good.

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play! High Mid Low adjust, daisy chain is easy.

Support:
Yes, I have dealt with Behringer asking for advice, I own Behringer Mixers, relays, Power Conditioners, Equalizers, and Now I own these speakers. I have worked with Behringer products for over a decade and I trust nothing else to make me the big bucks! Low price, great products, and dependable beyond belief.

Overall:
If I knew in the beginning what I have learned in purchasing these powered speakers; I would have saved a lot of hassle and money on amplifiers and non-powered speakers. I would have also saved myself a lot of back ache carrying those amps and speakers around. This is a must have for any DJ starting out or just wanting to experiment and see what amplified is all about. ZZounds lets you pay as you play, this is the way to start. I will buy the B215's next, no need for a sub. I hook one of these to a sub output on my Behringer mixer and it sounds awesome. Don't be suckered by the High priced speakers, these are just as good, if not better.

I'm absolutely delighted with these, I own 2, but only need one for my keyboard rig most of the time. The Sound is great, they are amazingly loud, and onlt $200. Need I say more?

Support:
Haven't needed any support, and I drive them hard.

Feature:
great system. low and high Eq. Line out.

Quality:
very well made. Nice nobs, perfect size for a 12" speaker.

Value:
I can't imagine any speaker , having the quality of the b212a been less expencive then that...

Desirability:
Great Product.

Sound:
Nice sound. You pay 200$, and get good quality, nice lows ,natural highs , in a quiet system. you can find "better" speakers, like EVs (my favority), JBLs eons(I own 2 15"), Mackies, But for a Gig musician, looking for a compact set up, light, and affordable the behringers are truly a great buy. great for stage monitors...

Ease of Use:
Easy, well... it's a powered speaker... has to be easy :)

Support:
I neve had to deal with behringer.

Overall:
Thinking about the sound quality, the price, size... I give a 10 for this product. I have been playing in many PAs, Stages, theaters, house concerts, bars... and the B212 are a very good speaker for the musician that needs to carry/set up his own PA for gigs. Portable, nice sound, well made, great price... Love it.

Feature:
I've been using B300's for monitors, also, and these are much the same, except for the size and weight. Like the B300's, the volume & EQ knobs are vulnerable, so a little care is needed when packing. Other than that, everything is very straightforward and user friendly.

Quality:
The speakers are well-built, and whether hauling them in the well-packed 8x10 trailer or throwing a couple of them in the pickup for a jam, they hold up. I've never had any problem with any other Behringer powered speakers, and I don't anticipate problems with these.

Value:
Worth every penny. You won't find anything better anywhere close to the price.

Desirability:
I rarely buy PA gear out of lust. Sound quality, roadablility and bang for the buck are the main considerations. These wouldn't look bad in my living room, though.

Sound:
For their size and price, the sound is excellent. The first time a drummer ever yelled at me to turn his monitor DOWN was with these. While the sound quality may not quite equal, marginally, the megabuck$ more EV SX series that we also use, it's been very decent for every application that I've used them on.

Ease of Use:
Dialing them in is a piece of cake. The size, shape, and weight make them easy to pack around and find slots for on tight stages.

Support:
The 212's have had no problems. Had to send a mixer in once. Not having a local warranty vendor was somewhat of a hassle, but the Behringer mixer was back in two weeks and has never had any problems, since.

Overall:
I bought these because I was tired of packing around B-300's in road cases. These are very sturdy and fit tight stages very well. They acheive SPL's typical of much larger speakers, and the overall sound quality is very good. I haven't been able to break them up, yet, and I've used them on some fairly loud gigs.

Quality:
They feel really durable but if you are gonna use them as a monitor be aware of the xlr or 1/4 plugs because they will be on the floor

Value:
For the money I can say that I am pleased.

Desirability:
It looks better now that it is in my home than it does in the pictures.

Sound:
Just received a pair of these last night they sounded, well not what I expected at first. But after working with them and getting to understand how they work. Wow these are little giants. A good subwoofer would make this a super club or stage system.

Ease of Use:
There is a learning curve but once you understand how to work with these speaker, your neighbors will love you or call the po-po because they are l-o-u-d!!

Support:
These babies are fresh out the box.

Overall:
I'm going to buy a sub. Other than that these are gonna stay. I don't require anything else.

Feature:
It's got the things to make it run. The only thing I am concerned of are the knobs in the back - they are a little bit exposed, so you have to pay attention when you move them, not to break one. Also, there is no cooler, grill, whatsoever for the amp in the back - didn't test it yet for some full hours, so don't know if it overheats or so.

Quality:
Very well made, out of ABS plastic.

Value:
You can buy 2 of these with the price of one of the big names on the market. By the way. They can be stacked one on top of the other, and they really look great this way.

Sound:
Great. Some reviews I read complained about the lack of bass - well, this is exactly what I was shocked from the moment I started testing it - it's got tons of bass. The sound is very well shaped and clear and..... the biggest surprise - couldn't make it feedback at all, even with the mic right on the grill - strange, but brilliant for my band.

Ease of Use:
Very versatile in form. Looks great as floor monitor. Has link output, so there are options for you.

Support:
Didn't deal with Behringer yet. I own or use lots of their stuff, and so far no problems - unless the thing is broken from the begining.

Overall:
Great for my band.
