"I do not work for Behringer.... just a happy customer !"

Feature:
No acessories of course, bit cords, but everything on the unit is well placed, and good.

Quality:
One of the biigest bang for the bucks I can recall ! I think it's unbelievable to find that quality at that price.

Sound:
Great : I tried it with my own tunes, then with many cds I know and love (from De Bussy to Prince, with Steely Dan and Jefferson Airplane in between, plus french songwriters that you may not know...) In two words : these monitors sound clear, precise, punchy, with a very good stereo image.

Support:
No oppotunity to check the support, although I have other Behringer products (b2, mx1604, hps3000).Hope I will never have to fill in that box !

Overall:
I think that anyone wanting to have top rate monitors in his/her home studio for a budget should check these B2031. There may be better things out there if you're willing to pay more, but, at my level of use, I can already say there are everything I will ever need !

"Excellent for the price."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Lot's of features. An amazing value at the price. Looks like they ripped off Genelecs design and cosmetic appearance. Selectable EQ, two amplifier, well thought out back panel. For the price point I give a 9. I don't like how the switches stick out from the back, but c'mon, I'm really nitpicking here...

Quality:
I'm really impressed with all Behringer products at their price points. Some are useable at a pro level, some aren't. These monitors could be used in a professional situation but I'd feel slightly uncomfortable with the accuracy. Everything might sound too flattered and never get fixed. As far as construction goes, they seem fairly sturdy. I haven't had a problem, but they sit in one place in my studio. No cosmetic blemishes but I'm not very anal about those things. I love the charts that show the matching frequency response of the pair.

Value:
These are the least expensive of the budget monitors and probably the best sounding. Lot's for your gear budget dollar. If you don't want to spend a couple of grand on "real" monitors I highly recommend these. If you get nervous about accuracy, spend the extra dough and buy Genelec, Meyer, etc.

Desirability:
The price. The sound. The specs. All add up to my having to buy a pair. I use them to double check mixes and on the studio TV. I also use some Circuit City 15" Technics home stereo speakers for that same purpose. I may use the Behringers for back speakers when I finally join the 21st century and mix in surround. Then again, I may get nervous and buy more Genelecs...

Sound:
These monitors sound great, but they tend to flatter the material which isn't that desirable in a studio monitor. For casual listening and budget studios there isn't any better alternatives, IMHO. My Genelecs (at $1500 more I might add) are more of an accurate tool for tracking and mixing. These are more than accurate enough for most home studios and high end stereo setups. Also, the high end is a little hot which is probably why they sound so flattering. I found the roll-off was too much and flat wasn't quite right. OTOH, if you spend the time to get used to them it may not be a problem. People have been mixing on those damned NS-10Ms for years and these sound WAY better than those.

Support:
Dunno

Overall:
These aren't my main monitors, so I give them a high rating for excellent backup speakers. I wouldn't give up the Genelecs for them, but I'd use them with a client if the Genelecs quit on me. Unbelievable for the price, a step below "real" monitors if you disregard the low price. But it's actually very close. If price is an issue, jump on these!

Behringer B2031 Truth Monitor Speakers Customer Review

Sound:
Great Speakers, good bottom end, the take the edge off the digital recordings. Very warm and clean. I like the fact you change the frequency response.

"Think hard before you buy!"

Sound:
Ive owned a pair of the "truths" for about a year. They are great in looks, power and sound (not to mention a great price!). BUT!...all in all if you plan to mix and master your tracks with these...forget it! I have a studio properly designed and my moniters are positioned according to specs. I spend a lot of time mixing and compressing due to the false sounds heard in the final. They are good moniters for writing but not for mixing or mastering which is "key" in my studio. Spend the extra cash and get a good pair, after all, moniters are the most important gear in your studio. Im selling mine for the Gen's. Anyway hope my info helped out and keep writing those tracks!

"Warning: This monitor is not for mixing !"

a lot of knobs , it
