All user reviews for the Behringer MS40

I'm very disappointed with these monitors, too. I like the brand, but this is an abuse, the sound is unadjustable. As others have described, the highs are fine, that's true, but the mids are absent and the lows muddled. Indeed, they lack lows, but if you increase them, the sound turns unpleasant and eat up the mids. So the only way to get a decent sound is to decrease the lows and add a subwoofer to the system. Fortunately there are controls for the lows and the highs. Although I would even increase the highs further if I could. Resell them? I use them to watch TV, the sound is all right for that even if less precise, they are pretty powerful for their size and the connections provide lots of possibilities. Or to transform them into a Hi-Fi system, connect an MP3 or CD player, or any other player you use to listen to music. But they should be forbidden for mixing.


SOUNDS

Poor

OVERALL OPINION

Poor

* Which technical specifications motivated your choice? Their size, price, near-field format...

* What do you use them for? Mix, monitoring.

SOUNDS

* Is the frequency response neutral enough? More or less, you need to fiddle some time with the built-in EQ to get the right response.

* Is the dynamic response faithful? Yes
• Is the stereo image good? Yes

* Is the sound clear and accurate across the entire frequency spectrum? Not really, they lack lows and when you increase them a bit, the sound starts to get muddled.

OVERALL OPINION

* How long have you been using the product? About 2 months

* Did you try any other models before buying this product? Unfortunately, no.

* Which feature do you like best/least? Best: Reasonable size for near-field monitoring, price, rather nice finish...

Least: Above all the SOUND...It's true that for the price you shouldn't expect miracles, but you can easily tell these are no KRKs, for example... The sound is relatively neutral for mixing or monitoring, but I think you can get better entry-level speakers for less than an extra 100 bucks.

* How would you rate the product's value for money? They are not expensive, that's for sure, but the quality isn't exceptional either, so their value for money is average.

* Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? No, I needed some monitors quickly, but I should've taken more time to buy them and see what other brands, like M-Audio, have to offer... I'll try to upgrade as soon as possible.
