Sound: I'm very impressed with the sound! It's very clear, and plenty loud, even with the dials at 12 o'clock. I love powered speakers because of the built in amps. We use JBL powered speakers that are very comparable in size and these sound just as good, and they are a bit lighter, and a couple hundred dollars cheaper. I love how they are designed to be both main PA speakers, and floor monitors. They are not meant to withstand a lot of bass, even tho they do handle it well - main pa speakers are really meant for mid to high range. These paired up with a couple of subs would sound great for any application. Feature: The features are awesome. I like simple, and this really is a plug in and play type speaker. High and low EQ and volume built right in, but you shouldn't really have to make any turns on the EQ knobs because they sound great set at '0.' I like all the built in components as well; the limiters protect the speaker, the crossover, etc. The molded plastic case is well built and I see it lasting a while with proper handling. Ease of Use: Ease of use? Very. Plug it in, turn it on, adjust the volume and eq, and that's it. No external eq or power amps required. Quality: The quality of how it's made? It's as pretty as a powered speaker can be. The power button and eq knobs seem to be well built as well as the input and output jacks. The metal speaker grill is just like any other powered speaker grill. The pole mount under the speaker is very handy, and the 45 degree angles allow the speaker to be arrange in a variety of ways. Value: The value is the main reason I buy Behringer. Power to weight ratio is awesome, well built, sounds great, durable, and low cost compared to other brands that are just as good. Manufacturer Support: Never had to have a product serviced or replaced by Behringer, despite some of the other reviews, but I have called them with tech questions, and everytime I've called I've had a pleasant experience with very knowledgable staff. I will be looking forward to finding some matching Behringer powered subs! The Wow Factor: Sex appeal? You wouldn't catch me humping it, but it looks like a powered speaker should look - modern. Overall: I would replace this speaker if I had to because of all the features and value I've listed above.

Sound: Great speaker, and very affordable. If this is your price range, these are the best you can find. After alot of research, it was between these and the Mackie Thumps. After a side by side sound test, it was an easy choice Ease of Use: Simple 3 knob eq. Plug and play Quality: I gave it a 10 because it is well made for the price range.

Overall: I recently sold my big rack of gear because, i got sick of hauling it around with me to gigs, and also got rid of my 76 pound JBL's.. I had a friend who had told me to check out these Behringers, and he told me about all the benefits of having powered speakers, so i decided to buy one to check it out..I am extremely impressed with the sound of these powered speakers, and also love how light that they are compared to my old speakers..These sound fantastic, and they have a lot of power..I just ordered a second speaker to use as my mains for my Karaoke/Dj show and also for gigs with my band..These sound a lot better than my old JBL's, very clear highs, and plenty of bass..I went to a Local music store and compared these with the JBL Eon's , Mackie Thump, and an Alto powered cabinet, These sounded better and were cheaper.. So I called and ordered these from Zzounds, and I am an extremely happy guy..Lightweight, Great sounding, powerful, and very reasonably priced..I would recommend these to anyone that is looking for a Quality Powered Speaker!

Sound: For a powered speaker under $300 (actual price was $279.99)the sound is clear with good amount of detail and bass. With 126db output they get pretty loud. I paired them off with the B1800D subs using a DBX DriveRack PX and they sounded great. Very impressed with the sound from these Behringers. I was not expecting much from them. Feature: Good and simple features. Has 1/4in TRS and XLR input along with XLR output which is good for linking more speakers together. Also has volume, bass and treble controls wchich make it ideal for use as single PA. Ease of Use: Very easy to use and setup. Just plug them in and you're ready to go. Quality: The quality is as good as any other. Value: The value of the B215D is incredible when you consider the price, power, weight and sound. $279.99 is a steal. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed to call support. The Wow Factor: The look is clean and simple. Overall: The Behringer B215D gives you alot bang for buck. I own JBL PRX and SRX speakers and was looking for a budget speaker to kick around for the occassional low end gig. I as blown away by the sound and value the Behringer B215D offered. Was not expecting the level of sound and quality the B215D produced. I have used Behringer in the past in a small club that has 4 B215D and 2 B1800D as their system. They rock good and hard every weekend. They give JBL,EV,QSC and Mackie a Real Good run for their money at a 1/4 to a 1/3 the price. You can buy 2 B215D along with 2 B1800D subs for $1799.95 from ZZounds and thats including $41.99 shipping for the subs. With their Play as You Pay program you can't go wrong. I ordered mine on Friday afternoon 8/5/11 and got them Tuesday 8/9/11. I highly recommend these for any DJ beginner or pro on a budget looking for good sounding set of speakers.

Sound: I use this for Zumba and R.I.P.P.E.D. both have loud and fun music. This speaker sounds amazing! Feature: I love it, because it is pretty much plug and play. I don't need a bunch of fancy features, just a speaker that booms! Ease of Use: This is sooo easy to use. Just plug (in my case an Ipod) and play! Quality: I think this product is super well made. It has been hauled back and forth to my classes for a couple of months now and is holding up amazingly well. Value: I think the price is really good for what you get. I purchases another speaker before this one, it was only $70 cheaper, and it was terrible! This speaker is a super value! Manufacturer Support: I accidentally bought the wrong cord to connect my ipod to the speaker, I called Behringer support spoke to a human immediately, and he told me what was causing my problem. Excellent customer service from Behringer! The Wow Factor: It looks like a beast, and sounds like a beast. Everyone commented on it, saying how it sounded great and looks pretty cool! Overall: I use this speaker for my group fitness classes in a large dance studio. It sounds awesome! The bass is good, and it fills the room. It is also very easy to transport to and from class.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Well for starters, I think just like ANY product on the market (even more with budget items such as these) you have a bit of a hit and miss track record and that needs to be understood by anyone looking to buy these or ANY other powered PA speaker. I used a set of JBL Eon 1500's for years, all the while being disappointed with the low end, always needing to bring along subs to get good sound, and also experiencing HF driver failure on both of my cabs @ separate times (And having JBL refuse to replace them under warranty!) Now working & DJ'ing at a small bar/club we bought a pair of the Behringer 215D's and I have been nothing but impressed! they have more low end then my EON's and get almost as loud on the high end! They really get abused here too,out of town DJ's and bands, getting thrown in and out of storage and 3-4 times a week to get used and abused.. We use them for DJ's, karaoke,open mics,etc.. You do need to really watch the clipping, without a clean signal they do clip fairly easily if you try to push them too hard. And we've had a few DJ's that just don't understand that, and have forced them into overload protection, but they reset quickly and keep ticking! I am so impressed with them that if I had to do it over again I would buy 4 of these for the price rather than 2 JBL EONS's and have WAY more sound for less money! Just as with any powered or passive cab of this size you will need a sub if your really trying to get that "club sound" but from my point of view, and experience over the last few years with these they ROCK for this price they are well worth every penny! Feature: Inputs, outputs and High, low and master volume control. You don't need anything else really. If you want more then your gonna pay for it! Ease of Use: Easy to set up, just take a little time really listing to them at the volume you are going to want them to be used at and tune them from there. Don't try to get concert sound volume out of them and you won't be disappointed! Quality: Using these speakers is so simple, as it should be, the controls are easy to get to, feel fairly solid and as I have already stated we abuse these more than I think most of you would, getting pulled in and out of storage several times a week, used by DJ's, Karaoke singers, and as monitors for bands. And they have taken it all. Maybe we just bought the best pair Behringer ever made. But I'm willing to bet the rest are pretty close in Quality to the ones we picked up ;) Value: Personally with my experience with the ones I have used for the past two years I would recommend them 100% to any one looking for a nice, very portable, powered cab! (At just about any price) Manufacturer Support: Gave them a 6 just because I haven't had to use the support. The Wow Factor: Its a pretty sexy item, fairly run of the mill look, but I like it, as do most. And it looks good on a stand in any room, not too big, not too bulky and just sexy enough haha! ;) Overall: These would only be replaced for a permanent house set up,with much larger cabs and external amps. but for portability to my mobile gigs they are just awesome! Maybe if I found a CRAZY deal that was too good to pass up on the new EON powered 15's then I would replace these but at this price they sound great and are way too good of a deal to get anything else!

Sound: It sounds excellent, great sound quality, responds perfectly to my playing, especially to my material from my digital recorder when I play to it live, the sound is very expressive, helps me achieve THE sound I'm looking for, perfect for my style, all the sounds are great straight across the board. Sounds great with just my playing (vocals and accoustic guitar) and singing, and also with the recorded stuff, lots of bass guitar and drums. At high volumes it sounds clear and the fidelity is wonderful. Feature: The only accessories were the power cables. The features are simple and very easy to understand and use. That's just how I like it. There are no least useful features. I can't think of anything I would add to it. Ease of Use: To get a great sound out of this thing all you have to do is plug it in and turn it on (as long as what you put into it sounds good in the first place) It has a really good variety of inputs, super options here. There's hardly anything to learn about it, except, with good quality input material, you'll get the same back out of it. Quality: It is made very well, extremely road-worthy, and will hold up. Great tough finish, perfect size, and absolutely a great weight, super light for 15' and a horn, and for it's size it is extremely powerful, I've never had it over half-way on the volume and it kicks butt. Value: For the money, this is absolutely the best you can get. Great value. Manufacturer Support: Don't know, and don't think I'm gonna have to find out, 'cos this thing is built very, very well. But I've dealt with Behringer before and they hook me up. No complaints. The Wow Factor: It has no sex appeal. But it does provide the best sound quality for the money. It is a practical addition to my set-up. Overall: I'll be satisfied with this item until someone comes out with something better for a lower price. I chose this one 'cos of the price and what it will do for the price. I does help my goals in putting out the RIGHT sound. If lost or stolen, I would replace it with the same thing. Like most: it kicks major butt, like least: it's still heavier than what I wish it were. Nothing that I wish I knew before I bought it.

Behringer B-215D Speaker Customer Review submitted July 31, 2010

Feature: I demoed this Powered speaker and it really sounds as good as any powered speaker that would cost over $500 bills. The only blemish I noticed is that the EQ Knobs are not recessed or enclosed which could be a problem when loading or shipping. You have to be careful how you load them for transporting.

Overall: I bought these as the main speakers for my PA. I was impressed with their volume, though the lows were not as low as you would expect with 15s, but nothing a sub wouldn't pick up. However, after a couple of months, one just cut out and will not work any longer. I cannot even turn it on without input and it clips and shuts down. The real issue.... Try getting warranty service on these things. I have tried thru their website. Multiple calls (both times I got fed up after being on hold for an hour and just leave a message), using the care@music-group email address. I cannot even get anything other than an automated response. Normally I get warranty issues resolved in less time than I have been sitting and just trying to get a response. BEWARE....

Overall: I would definately not advise anyone to buy these speakers. I purchased 2 and within months had to send one in for repairs. The other one also gave out a few months later. I sent it in for repairs and a week later it gave out again and so i need to send it in again. Of course the shipping to the repair shop is at my cost. Behringer will not replace them which is what I feel they should do as they were practically new. They seemed to overload and shut down for no apparent reason while just turned on and not in use. I bought B212's at the same time for monitors and they have been fine so far. I suspect Behringer was a better Company when their product was actually manufactured in Germany.
