Unexpectedly nice.. and LOUD.
I had vouched to never buy anything Behringer ever again, because I have had nothing but problems with their gear in the past. I was in the market for a set of powered floor monitors for my rehearsal studio. I blew up my old wedges and my amp was acting up also. So I decided to switch to powered speakers. I use my PA both for vocals and keyboard at band rehearsal (loud rock band) and for my drum students to play along with music. I had a budget of $200 a piece for these powered speakers. The B210D was really the only option out there in my budget. The reviews were all raving, so I took the plunge. I decided to just get one first, in case it was a disappointment. Well, it wasn't. At first, when I took the speaker out of the box, I was thinking "I'm screwed. This thing is way too small and is not going to be powerful enough." Then I plugged it in. Mackie board, XLR cable, iPhone plugged into the board. Holy crap. This thing packs a punch. With your eyes closed, you'd swear it was a speak at least twice the size. It's LOUD. But it doesn't distort. I was able to crank the volume up to pain threshold, where I couldn't possibly go any louder before my head would explode, and the sound was still clear and not distorted. And the volume knob was halfway. This thing sounds really nice, focused and much bigger than it looks. We'll see how it holds up, which has always been the issue with Behringer, but for now, the second one is going to be ordered asap.

Whole Lotta Bang For Your Buck
So for $200 you probably won’t find a better speaker. It is very lightweight (maybe 20lbs) and the amount of sound you can get out of it is astounding. I purchased it for spoken word and it does that great, but when I ran music through it I was surprised at the quality I was getting, and it is LOUD! I usually never need to turn it up more than half way to get the volume I want, and I use it in noisy bars. Honestly, thinking about getting a second one for a stereo pair.

Sounds GREAT alone, but with a added subwoofer it is even BETTER
This speaker is a built pretty solid. The sound is loud and clear. In the back there are knobs to adjust the bass, highs and volume. It sounds okay like this but is missing the really deep lows so I ended up buying a Polk PSW10 10" powered subwoofer from amazon when it went down to $88. when hooked up together the sound is much fully and adds a wow effect. I tune volume the sub according to the music I play and put the subwoofer crossover knob in the middle so its not to boomy. I bought the GLS Audio 10 Foot Guitar Instrument Cable - 1/4 Inch TS to 1/4 Inch TS 10-FT and a HOSA 1/4" TRS to 3.5mm stereo adapter. This is what I use to connect the speaker to my iphone. To connect the speaker to the subwoofer, I use a RCA to XLR adapter connected to a XLR microphone cord. The RCA R&L goes into the subwoofer and the other end into the speaker output. Kind of like a daisy chain as they call it. It takes a little tweaking to get the sound just right but it's not hard as you just turn the little knobs in the back of the PA Speaker and Subwoofer until you are satisfied with the results. I will be adding in a mixer when using for karaoke and this will allow me to have more control once all is hooked up. This is good for home style karaoke parties or to watch movies. Without the subwoofer it is only okay. I also have the Behringer B215D 15" powered speaker which is the same but in a larger speaker size. This sounds good by itself for outdoor music but a subwoofer will also fill out the lows, If you are having trouble with your sound not coming out of your speaker, it could be the cable you are using. If you use a 1/4" TRS cable both ends into the 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, the sound may come out only if you pull the cable 1/2 way out. If you use the same 1/4" TRS cable to a 3.5mm to 1/4" L&R splitter adapter, you have to connect the 1/4" TRS to the LEFT side only to get sound. The RIGHT side of the Y splitter did not produce sound. Hope this helps. Here is some of the cables I used with this hookup. Hosa MHE-100.5 1/4 inch TRS to Right-Angle 3.5 mm TRS Headphone Adaptor Cable, 6 inch GLS Audio 10 Foot Guitar Instrument Cable - 1/4 Inch TS to 1/4 Inch TS 10-FT Brown Yellow Tweed Cloth Jacket - 10 Feet Pro Cord 10' Phono 6.3mm - SINGLE BesYee 3.5mm (Mini) 1/8" TRS Stereo Male to 2 Dual 1/4 Inch 6.35mm Mono TS Female Y Splitter Cable 20cm/8inch (35M-2x635FM) If using this cable with a TRS 1/4" cable, use the left side and not the right.

Dependable and affordable
These speakers have great sound and they also are very durable. We use them for a church and for several years they were loaded and unloaded from the trailer to and from the temp. location. They really had to be strong to hold up to the constant moving and hooking up. These speakers never failed. They are very portable as a contained unit and works for a small pa system. You can hook another speaker into this one and have twice the sound. After a little while the sound control knob started to have a little static when you adjusted the volume of the unit. I have bought Behringer products in the past and the price and dependability will make me return and purchase again in the future.

Great power in a small box
Great little bang for your buck. Great highs. Bass doesn't hit like my Behringer 15s but it's decent. These would probably go best with some nice subwoofers. Love the Behringer brand. Great quality and build on these bad boys. No complaints here.

mighty sound, tiny box
I travel a lot on tour of restaurants and bars. Carry two of those with me (b208d and b210d) - and usually, end up giving them away or selling them on the road (overseas) - because of it, I've purchased more than a dozen of them - and they're awesome. The right size, the right weight, very musical (once in a blue moon I have to touch the eq section - most of the times they're flat, and my voice sounds great) - sturdy, never broke, I recommend them.

Awesome party speaker!
UPDATE!!!!!!! Almost 2 1/2 years after my first review of this speaker i just wanted to say it is still going strong! It has held up to a lot of outdoor and traveling abuse. In fact we even took it to the beach to play music for a beach wedding and it was awesome! lots of great comments on the sound, and yes you can hear it just fine over the loud sounds of the ocean! I still like the sound of this speaker better than most others that are about the same size. Light weight and so easy to transport. I will keep posting updates periodically on this great sounding and economical speaker! I bought this for outdoor parties that we have very frequently with our friends. Typically we are hanging out in the pool, enjoying adult beverages and games, watching music videos, singing and dancing our butts off! We just hooked this speaker up to a laptop and we were off and running. The sound is just awesome! While the bass does not thump, its a nice low clear bass sound. I don't think we have had this speaker turned up over half way yet. We live in the country and don't have to worry about annoying any neighbors, so that should give you an idea how awesome and loud it is. We only bought one and we don't forsee needing another one. Its very rugged and durable yet light weight, it usually just sits on the ground somewhere. And occasionally i forget to bring it in at night, so far so good. So if you are into hanging out with good friends and want an affordable awesome speaker to liven up outdoor parties i would recommend this to anyone!

my 2nd pair of behringer live series
i own a pair of 205's & i need to expand it, but i need a little more but not a lot to create a big unbalance sound distribution. voila - these are perfect for my needs - sounded great for both PA & music with more to offer than just being a powered speaker; easy connection, different connectors, lightweight, & more. i was planning to get a bose system but still continue to contemplate with the price tag...i think this behriger series, is more flexible when it comes to sound configuration, especially if you are a travel a lot....

Love it
It is light weight and just worked the first time. Good value for the buck and easy to use. A friend ordered her own based on how well it worked for me. Much lighter than the larger watt models.
