BEHRINGER MS16

This pair of computer speakers was exactly what I was looking for. They are not too large and put out amazing sound for the size. I originally bought a set of Cyber Acoustics with sub for about $40. They had really good reviews, but I ended up sending them back as the satellites speakers sounded tinny and flat. The sound was simply just mediocre, at best. I live in an apartment complex and as soon as the Behringer speakers came, I tested them by turning the volume up to half at one point. I didn't turn it up any louder as I did not want to disturb my neighbors, but the volume will definitely be more than enough for virtually everyone unless you want to use them for a party - then you would want to add a sub-woofer - and they would be fine for that, too. I love the fact that they have volume, bass and treble controls right in front - makes it very easy to adjust quickly. The controls work just as well for any set of headphones you plug into the front of the speaker. If you want quality sound at an affordable price, I would say you would not be disappointed with these. I am glad I took a chance and bought them. Also, the picture with the speakers are inaccurate in one, small way. The picture for the speakers show an orange triangle on the front of the speaker grill. The speakers I received had a black triangle on each speaker grill. Everything else is exactly as shown in the photo.

After hearing many studio monitors demoed at guitar center (when I worked there), I knew that someday I'd HAVE to own a pair of monitors! The high volume and clarity really turned me on to speaker specification and design, I wished I could experience the same clean sound at home with my own content. I came across these speakers and noticed their similar design to a Roland product, I began searching for reviews and other data on these guys. These were in my price range and I went for it... I can't say that these Behringer MS-16 compare to the bigger and more fantastic monitors I've heard before, but they do stay bright and clear at high volumes - I don't think you can get a better set of powered speakers for the price. I had these hooked up to my friends Roland piano, and they sounded very good. I heard a little bit of distortion while he mashed away at some Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2, but we did have them at an enormous volume. I could say we were breaking them in :) These monitors have been hooked up to my computer most of the time, and have provided a very clean and comfortable sound for music, games and movies. I plan on making an adjustment though with the addition of a subwoofer in the future. Don't get me wrong these monitors do have full-range output, but a sub will be handy when listening to some audio types. I most recently played Beatmania through these guys and was absolutely thrilled by their performance! I can really appreciate the game and hear the instruments to play it well. I think these speakers are the best bang for your buck if you're looking for a set of powered speakers. If you're mastering an audio track you may do well with this set. My advice is to go get informed at a decent music store first, then find something that fits your style and budget. I really like my set!

These are decent speakers for the price, and will give a fairly flat response.. but I was underwhelmed by these. If you intend to use these for any sort of music production, I would avoid these.. The are very lacking in the bass and sub bass frequency range. I honestly thought they might have been broken when I received them they had so little bass. These will be great for everyday speakers, watching movies or playing games but as far as monitors go they are pretty weak.

I am not a musician. I was just looking for durable, powerful speakers for my desktop PC. I work nights at a help desk, and I wanted a simple looking product that would fill my office with streaming music (Pandora). The Behringer MS16 are really nice monitors for your keybaords, mixing board, or desktop computer / studio. They look like mini PA loudspeakers. They even have a 1/4" microphone jack on the front panel or instant mixing with vocals. They have punch, power, and rich sound. If you are looking for desktop PC speakers, you really can't do much better for the money. The only drawback I can think of is these speakers are 9" tall. So they are not discreet little speakers. But you will appreciate the rich sound. A 6' mono RCA cable (included) patches the speakers together. You can upgrate that cable to an Mediabridge Ultra Series - Dual Shielded Subwoofer Cable - RCA to RCA Gold Plated Pro Grade Connectors (15 Feet) if you need the extra distance. Behringer is a UK-based professional audio company and they have delivered an outstanding product here for everyone who needs amplified speakers for personal use.

Never received it, despite delivery notice. Vendor said they'd replace it. Nothing received. Will never order from them again.

I was looking for another pair of Roland MA8 speakers, which have been discontinued. The Behringer MS16s are very similar to the Rolands in appearance, size and shape. The Behringers seem to have a little brighter high end and maybe a little more gain, though I haven't really done a thorough comparison regarding volume. I use them with a Tascam Portastudio--they're perfectly suited for my needs.

I read reviews that said they did not have much volume, if you use the 1/8th" jack or the rca jacks on the back, that may be true HOWEVER, if you use the1/4" mic input on the FRONT, THEY SCREAM, and the bass, treble & volume controls have NO effect. The mic volume level DOES, as well as the controls on what ever you are running it through DO. I am using a Behringer Xenyx 1002FX mini mixer. I use the channel control.

Awesome monitors in this price range..!! Using it as a Keyboard monitors... though the bass is not that appealing but the sound quality is crisp & clear....!! One of the best product by Behringer Just Loved it.............

Despite being called a 'Monitor System' and being labelled as 'Monitor Speakers', these are *not* studio monitor-grade speakers. However, if you are not using them for music production, what they are is actually a really good pair of computer speakers for not a lot of cash. Paired with a decent discrete sound card, or even an on-board sound card on a higher-end motherboard, these speakers will beat most offerings from your traditional companies (Logitech, Creative, etc.). The construction is plastic and, while some people may prefer wooden cabinets, this does not detract from these speakers in the slightest. The bass port is on the front of these speakers, meaning you can have them closer to the wall if you use them on a desk or on wall mounts. Many 3-4" speakers have rear bass ports, which can cause a 'boomy' effect when placed closed to the wall. If you're using these for a computer for listening to music or watching movies, then you'll want to dial in the bass and treble dials (I set mine to just under 3 o'clock treble, and just under 2 o'clock bass) and then download a computer program called Equalizer APO and another called PEACE. This will allow you to adjust the balance between the frequency bands. I find the bass on these a little muddy, but the rest of the spectrum is fairly decent for the price. I find them to be, again for the price paid, very clear and leagues ahead of any traditional PC speaker I have used when it comes to listening to music. I got these for an excellent price on Amazon, and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Hooked the speakers up to an old karaoke mic, and placed the mic outside by the birdfeeder to listen to the birds in winter. Works flawlessly. Good quality for the price. It's been working for years.

benissimo ottimo suono

Los he comprado para interior. Para tener unos monitores y hacer alguna sesión en el cuarto. 🟢La marca es sinónimo de calidad. 🟢Por el precio que tienen dan un sonido por encima de la media con una calidad brutal. 🟢Trae todos los cables necesarios para conectarlos, pudiendo elegir varias entradas diferentes para el audio. 🟢Autoamplificados y con volumétricos para ajustar el audio a tu gusto. 🔴No son unos monitores de estudio ni van a dar la calidad que ello implica. 🔴No son unos monitores de PC, tienen más calidad que eso. Resumiéndote, si querías unos monitores de estudio, este NO es tu producto. Si querías unos altavoces para el PC... Puedes encontrarlos más baratos. Pero si los quieres para escuchar música en casa a un volumen considerablemente alto con calidad de sonido, este es el tuyo.
