Been using these for a good few years for the studio, offer great amplification for a compact monitor, only one is active and although its not a huge difference there is a noticeable difference between the impact of the sound of the sound from both speakers. They do offer EQ but they do have little impact compared to other monitors on the market but then again they are in a different price bracket. Overall I think they are a fair monitor and do the job well but there is room for improvement if you can stretch the extra expense.

I was looking for some small, economical speakers for a home studio and thought I'd try the Behringer MS16. Just what I was hoping for! Good sound without making me go broke! Very happy with the MS16's.

I’m very happy with my set of Behringer Beauties, These deliver a quality sound appropriate for the small studio space I’ve created, certainly don’t punch you in the face at close range and that’s a good thing. Perfect also for plugging in my Korg Volcas or Novation Mini Nova and hearing a realistic representation of the multitude of blips bleeps and blops of analogue synthesizers. Add a small studio subwoofer and you’ve got a play field leveller, a shot at the title rubbing shoulders with the pros

A good pair of active monitors for its price. I wouldnt recommend it for professional use, but its perfect for beginners. I personally use it more like a speaker (for listening to music, movies and do some karaoke) than an actual monitor, and its perfect for this use. The frequency response is pretty good too, so you can use the monitors to learn mixing and production in a domesticc use. They also have, other than the standard rca, a 3,5mm jack input for CDs/MP3s and a 3,5mm jack input for a microphone (with adjustable volume).
I can't see why people were complaining there was no bass response when I first set them up I had them on my coffee table and a cup of water on a coaster, the bass was so loud and just on an apple loop that it was vibrating the water. If you can EQ it yourself (granted it takes a while) then you should be fine. This is a great start to a studio and you won't be dissapointed. Don't use it one time like these people have and say oh it has no sound or bass, because I turned the volume up rolled the bass about 5 and the trebles from 5-8 and it sounded just like the models were supposed to so I can't complain, hope it helps, it's a good price point for a good quality piece of studio equipment. It has everything you need, i was even surprised when it came with the cables ... MoreI can't see why people were complaining there was no bass response when I first set them up I had them on my coffee table and a cup of water on a coaster, the bass was so loud and just on an apple loop that it was vibrating the water.

It has everything you need, i was even surprised when it came with the cables to hook it up to my Macbook. I figured I would have to spend more money to get the right cables, so I was greatly appreciative. I wanted a good set of speakers to record and monitor through Logic Pro becuase the labtop speakers were just not very good at all. Get both stereo speakers, two mixed inputs (say computer and Ipod) and it has dedicated EQ and volume on the unit which is a plus. They are friggin heavy!! Way more than I expected, German's have always made good speakers and these are no exception, big heavy magnets and a great build quality, no complaints so far. Awesome, all I needed was a little more punch to monitor my bass response on the songs I'm working on and make sure the EQ was right where I wanted it to be. I was surprised when it inspired me to do even more and I was able to tweak the EQ to exactly where I wanted it, so to me it did everything I asked it to and more, it gets loud, really loud and the cool thing is if your playing say the drums and bass as a loop, then they come more out of the right speaker and the mids (guitar) that I'm playing comes out fo the left. Everything is clear and easy to hear it's perfect, I can't imagine any more expensive one doing more.
Wouldn't be my only pair of monitors, but a great second set for reference, djing, or for impromptu laptop setups. This had all of the features I was personally looking for. I currently have 2 krk rp8's and wanted something smaller to reference with and also put directly over my decks so I can mix late without having to wake the neighbors up. It's ok. The weight of the left speaker is extermely light (sans power), so it gives you an idea of the size magnet used. The sound is quite flat though. Great for my needs.
I was disappointed. The units were toy like. My logitech computer speakers are far superior. I expected better from this brand. But Fender makes that little 1 watt mini amp too so maybe this is a trend. Musician's Friend customer service was first class and handled the return professionally. They get an extra star for that. Great company.
I took a chance on these based on positive reviews, but was pretty disappointed. After a break in of maybe 50 hours, I found a complete absence of low bass (to be expected with such a small speaker), a near absence of mid bass, and a confused and slow upper bass that lacked transient response. No warmth, no sweetness at all. The cabinet of the right speaker leaked air horribly out of the plug openings, so any semblance of port tuning was out the window. I messed with equalization and some digital signal processing to try to find some bass, but it just wasn't there.The upper frequencies were much better....accurate and quite pleasant, not at all harsh or overly bright.The whole rig was a bit under powered as well. They clipped too readily.I returned them, and as per ... MoreI took a chance on these based on positive reviews, but was pretty disappointed.

I can't remember leaving a bad review on MF but these speakers are not happening. Been giving them a go for 4 weeks now. Just did an exchange for the Alesis Elevate 3's. First of all these things are not shielded very well. Even know I figured I was really just getting nice computer speakers, I had to move the digital clock away from them (getting a digital motor boat sound in the amp) and then I noticed they had to be a certain angle to the Acer 22inch monitor or I got digital noise. The main reason I got these: they have tone controls on the front and since they were going to be on one of my computers that double as quick recording and internet surfing, I wanted to be able to dial in tones at different websites without going in to the computer. My other computer ... MoreI can't remember leaving a bad review on MF but these speakers are not happening. Been giving them a go for 4 weeks now. Just did an exchange for the Alesis Elevate 3's.

My other computer is a recording workhorse with Alesis 520 speakers. But apart from the digital noise problem, they sound like so so computer speakers. Nothing is out of phase, all controls flat and still, Yuk!! I don't think they should even be in the monitor section really of MF, for example how serious are these speakers? If you look at the picture the two holes at the top...one is the tweeter and the other is a bass port I guess. The thing is the tweeter is on the left in both monitors...Doesn't sound like they were going after anything symmetrical as far the sound field is concerned. Through with the rant...I know monitors are like guitars and microphones, everyone ear is subjective. And if these work for you, my hat's off to you. As far as people complaining about bass response...I didn't turn them above 12:00 to check that, I was afraid they would explode.... :)
I bought my second pair of these last year not because the first ones had died but because I got tired of moving them room to room. They are nice sounding until you ask them to put out too much bass then they break up and sound horrible. Also they really don't like being run at top volume. I wasn't too aware of their limitations until I hooked them up to my mixer and a synth. Then I tried them with another keyboard straight and believe it or not the speakers in the keyboard sounded better. Still paired with an iPod they make a good portable way to listen while you work.
