"I wasn't expecting much, I ordered them as a lightweight alternative for the odd venue and to be used as floor monitors the rest"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

If lost or stolen I would replace them. I feel they were a very good value for the price. I think they will last a long time given proper handling and usage
Sound
One of the reviewers was disappointed with the bass response from these cabinets. Perhaps if you're a DJ and use them for bass heavy dance music they might not be the best, I don't know. I use them for vocals and an instrument or two. We have a trio, guitar, bass, drums and are occasionally accompanied by a keyboardist. They sound great for vocals. Sometimes we'll mic my guitar amp and run the keyboards through them as well. EQ your sound correctly and they do a great job.
Features
The slightly rounded front of the cab leaves the metal grill prone to damage so I try and be careful when packing up and loading them in the truck in order to keep them looking nice. The handle design is good
Ease of Use
Plug and play, no biggie here. What does add to the ease of use is the light weight of 24 lbs. I had some great sounding Peavey SP-5 cabinets but at 66 lbs. each it was more than a hassle to load in and set up. At the odd venue where you need to go up a flight of stairs instead of struggling to get a cab up there I can grab two of these at once with ease
Quality
Beside staying aware of the metal grill and packing to prevent damage and dents to it, the cabinets are well constructed.
Value
I am very pleased with these. I purchased an inexpensive product and didn't expect much. I intended on keeping my large cabinets and only use these for venues that made a big heavy cabinet impractical. The rest of the time I intended on using them as floor monitors. After using these and hearing how good they sounded for our needs I was glad to sell my old cabinets and use Behringers exclusively for mains. We have been setting up with one of these positioned slightly the band to double as a monitor. We have had no problems with feedback. If we begin playing larger venues and need to add additional floor monitors I will add more of these cabinets.
Manufacturer Support
I have had no problems with them so no need to ask for support

"Price and Quality"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Well, I expect to use this product until it last, no doubts. In case of technical and physical problems I would say that's a whole another issue.
Sound
The sound quality is awesome. I cant say no more. It's clear and marvelous. Although I haven't tested it on any other setting than my own apt. but the sound quality is brilliant. I tested these Behringer Eurolive B212XL Speakers on New Year's Eve, and the party lasted hrs continous. They really rock. Eventhough one has to adjust the the input signal, meaning the EQ on your mixer, but besides that they are brilliant. One of my biggest concerns, I think, is the subwoofer. With no doubt, the sound on these speakers is great. But, I think Behringer have to keep improvining the quality of the bass. I think there is not that much response to the low frequencies. In other words, there is not that much of a deep bass output. I had to adjust my EQ on my mixer, Behringer DJX 700, increasing the the "low" and reducing the "high and mid" until I could find the the right balanced. So, I believe the sound quality is right, but my concern is the bass.
Ease of Use
This is brilliant. It's not complicate to install. I would say the setup is easy.
Quality
This product is definetly made well. I have no problems with it for now. So, I believe these speakers were made to last for ever.
Value
Yes, yes, yes, my speakers deliver great sound. And what's better than to have equipments that deliver great sound quality at totally affordable prices. Thats what I like about Behringer products. This company makes real good quality products with a lot of features on it at totally low prices. Honestly, Behringer is the best. No doubt about it.
Manufacturer Support
Yes at all. Behringer is great, especially for the people who don't have a big budget, but are looking for a good product with lots of features on it.
The Wow Factor
The desing is perfect. This product has an authentic look, and is adjustable to particularly any setting.

"Great value, great sound!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
These 12's have a really good kick to them, especially for the size, and weight(at 26 lbs. makes for an easy breakdown at the nights end). You can use them as stage monitors, or throw a stand under them and use conventionally.
Features
The 1/4" connectors, and speakons are true professional.
Ease of Use
Super easy to hook up, and not much to learn.
Quality
Behringer...German quality. Great size and shape for mobile gigs for both DJ's, and bands.
Value
Great value for $150 each you can't go wrong. 800 WATTS

I'll be sorely disappointed if I ever have to replace these.
Sound
Rich, fat, clean and wonderfully affordable. These 28 pound beauties outperform the 70+ pound EV Eliminators they were purchased to replace.
Features
It would have been nice if they came with covers or if covers were at least available for them.
Ease of Use
Easy to load, easy to set up.
Quality
They seem very well made.

Very affordable.

"Great cab for the money."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It should last me for a while...
Sound
Great enclosure for the money. The cabs are not as deep as I thought they would be- size wise. The sound great for 12's. The titanium compression driven horn has a good sparkle without being too harsh.
Features
The enclosure has a solid, quality feel to it. The grille is slightly flimsy, but should protect the woofer for most light duty mishaps...
Ease of Use
Pop it on a stand, plug in a speakon cable and you're ready to go. Havinf parallel 1/4" jacks AND parallel speakon jacks is a real plus. It can also be used as a floor monitor.
Quality
Very good build quality for China. Plastic is not the most durable material for a speaker cabinet, but, for light duty sound work, it should work out just fine.
Value
Awesome speaker for the money.
Manufacturer Support
Behringer has always been great to work with for me...
The Wow Factor
It suits my purpose very well.

what a speaker, clear voice, moderate low, and most of all vary crisp highs... easy to push these speakers with 200 rms, and they are vary loud for such a 12 inch 2 way speaker... the design is good, the quality is good as well.... these speakers are much louder than my older 12 inch speakers... the bass is ok, but these speakers are more for vocals, music and crisp highs...

"Compare Before You Buy"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Satisified for one day and made the determination to exchange
Sound
I just bought the BR212 Euro Live spaekers for DJ purpose the highs are great but no bass response at all. The product is ok if you need some crisp highs but other than that could have been better designed for more active sound. I am switching over to Peavey PR15N's I have heard them many of times and they sound great. No comparrison between the two. The experience with zzounds has been great. They are very helpful and recommend them for your purchasing.
Features
The Free Speaker Stands make it a Good Buy.
Ease of Use
Like i said before great sound for highs. cannot seem to adjust very much or they sound distorted and the horn starts cracking. Very easy to setup and use.
Quality
Seems to be built very well as far as durability,but as for the componets it's hard to say how long they would hold up.
Value
Great buy for a novice who wants to play and get some experience.
Manufacturer Support
I have only dealt with zzounds and they are great fast response as far as Behringer i have no idea did not keep the speakers long enough to deal with Behringer.

"So disappointed, but then..."

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought 4 of these as stage monitors but was not happy at all with the sound. After replacing all 4 of the 200-watt, 2-inch voice coil woofers with 350-watt, 3-inch voice coil woofers these things are as good as most of them out there. They now have way more bass and are much louder too. Happy to say that after spending another $260.00 on parts, these are 5-star speakers. The original woofers are very poorly made and have no protective circuitry, so be careful with them! The compression drivers and cross-overs are a good match for far better LF drivers, so Behringer dropped the ball on these. The HF drivers are protected, so go ahead and beef them up with better woofers!

"Great value."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will probably use this product until it wears out, or something with better sound quality for similar money comes along (which I don't expect anytime soon).
Sound
For the price, the sound quality is good. I don't think there's too much else in this price range, except the Peavy PV series, that can do any better. The highs and clarity could be improved, but I would expect that in a higher-end speaker.
Features
Basic 2-way speaker, but the dual speak-on and 1/4" combination jacks are very handy.
Ease of Use
There's nothing to it, like any passive speaker. Plug and go.
Quality
So far, after a couple of months, so good.
Value
Great for the price.
Manufacturer Support
Really, I have no opinionm since I haven't dealt with the company as of yet.
The Wow Factor
It looks good and compares favorably to its competition.
