i wouldn't recommend them as a home studio monitor but as a portable monitor, they're good value if you tackle the problem of excessive bass resonance.

The Behringer MS16 are really nice monitors for your keybaords, mixing board, or desktop computer / studio

(FYI a new pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 as of May 2016).If you want a true reference monitor, quiet at all times when quiet, don't buy anything

If you want "budget" monitors that provides excellent imaging, revealing resolution, super flat & wide Pro Monitor like frequency characteristics, the Behringer MS16 is for you

I have been in the music field for many years and while these may not be an ideal studio monitor set, they would do in a pinch

now they sound quite good for a portable monitor speaker.

These get the job done for "cheap speaker" reference monitors

Its a very good studio/multimedia monitors, sounds correctly and loud in a room environment, but you should add a powered sub to this speakers(like I did) then is great.

The Behringer MS16 plays back all my Jazz CD Music with relative smoothness, with no surprising in-between the eyes, unnatural frequency peaks because of it's super flat & wide Pro Monitor like frequency characteristics

i wouldn't recommend them as a home studio monitor but as a portable monitor, they're good value if you tackle the problem of excessive bass resonance.

I know that monitors, even good ones, have hum problems, but the hum coming from these monitors is not acceptable even for the sub-$100 price-range
