"These are cheap PA speakers, so of course they don't sound great. Who would use these as a home theater speaker?"
Well, look no further than this thread with over 4000 posts so far: www.avsforum.com/threads/behringer-eurolive-b215xl-15-2-way-as-l-r-mains.1519940/
Wood is King!
and you believe these guys? ha ha ha to each his own, let them have their way if that makes them happy
I like this idea! If there's a product that has more negatives than positives, I'll just do a live stream. No need to spend time on fancy b-roll if the company didn't spend time to design a good product.
100% agree. The people will appreciate the info and you won't have wasted a lot of time producing a glossy video on a junky product.
Absolutely beautiful destruction of a terrible product ❤❤
If not a live stream, a 10 second short should suffice. Love the honesty Erin. Keep it up man 👍
You guys and Amir should do a tier list, like crinacle has for IEMs and Headphones, this way you don't need to do a video on a bad product maybe just talk about it in a livestream and whoever loses it will still have a database on a website where they can see that the product is in fact bad.
Like maybe do a "show" of some kind talking about audio, maybe every Friday you guys oget togheter to talk a little and take some questions from the community, and you would maybe talk about the bad products that came in recently maybe show some graphs and then put the graphs along with price and a simple description or rating to it on a spreadsheet in a website. If there's a full review provide a li k to it of there isn't just the data is already great!
I recently had my headphone break down and went looking for a new one and that database from Crin helped me soo much, I could quickly narrow down the options with the tonality that I like and around the price I was willing to pay and then just watch more in depth reviews on those.
Literally not designed or marketed for this purpose, Joe N Tell, so it's not like you can point a finger at Behringer and say "how dare you"
I actually think it’s a refreshing change to hear a negative review. 99% of the time when I see a review pop up I know that it will be spun in a positive light or else it wouldn’t have been uploaded or published if it were negative
Just be honest with your reviews, that's why I subscribed to your channel.
I'm tryin'. Sucks to do a sucky review but that's how it is sometimes.
@@ErinsAudioCorner That's why I like your reviews no BS, just the honest truth, not like others on RUclips. That's why I upgrade my KEF speakers, lol.
@@jsil36 I may have another Kef review coming in the next few weeks so hold on to your wallet! :D
These speakers developed a following on avsforum because they have qualities that typical hifi speakers don't have. That is the ability to play at full reference volume without any need for extra amplification. They do require EQ and subs. These have a peak spl of 126dB. Not that anyone should listen at that level but it means that at 105dB peaks at the listening position, these aren't even breaking a sweat. There have been many comparisons, some blind, to other speakers and the Behringers held their own. Erin is the first one in the thread that I could find to say they sound bad. No one claims they are a highly accurate speaker, but for what they can do, they are a bargain. Just wanted to provide a little context to those wondering why anyone would use such "bad" speakers.
According to the multitone data, the SPL limit of 126dB is likely not accurate if it's to be anything actually meaningful. The MTON data shows this speaker's distortion in the midrange alone is at 3% at 96dB.
@@ErinsAudioCorner I'm not sure where I got the 126dB max SPL. I don't see a spec from Behringer. They do spec 96dB sensitivity and 250 watt max continuous power handling which gives 120dB as max at 1m. Still much higher than many other inexpensive speakers. Looking at your graphs, it looks like you took that 3% distortion from the full range test? Whatever the numbers are, the question still remains as to why so many people like them. Saying that they just don't know better does not jibe with the facts if you read the last few comments on the thread at avsforum. Clearly you didn't like the way they sound. You can point to the measurements as a reason why but that doesn't answer the question as to why other people like them compared to alternatives. The measurements should help us understand why we like what we like. Putting the measurements first puts the cart before the horse.
@@gregworrel2623 Are you saying that subjective opinion should be put before objective data? It has been proven through extensive, controlled scientific testing that sound quality absolutely can be measured and that, in general, there are objective representations of what most people consider to be good sound. If someone is offended by objective data, then they probably should ask themselves if they have a good frame of reference for what good sound is.
@@tonygutermuth9347 I think you may be overstating how extensive the testing was. Did they test line source vs point source? Did they test high sensitivity vs low sensitivity when the power is limited to what an AVR can put out? Did they test speakers that play louder against speakers that won't play as loud? Did they bring price into play, as in, "Would you pay 3 times as much for speaker B as compared to speaker A?" It's easy to say I prefer speaker B if I don't have to pay for it. But maybe the difference is not worth $5000 to me, or even $1000. There are lots of factors that were not tested. Speakers under test were level matched and played at the same volume. So what happens when you have a speaker that will play louder with little power and able to bring a commercial cinema feel to a home theater? The science doesn't really speak to that.
As I understand it, the purpose of the scientific testing was to determine how to make a speaker that people liked. You say yourself "what most people consider to be good sound." Most people. Most people prefer a speaker with a flat frequency response and smooth off-axis, when all else is equal. But what about when all else is not equal, as mentioned above. They didn't test for that as far as I know. And most people is not everyone. That means some people must value some other factors. They may be outliers or they're prioritizing other factors.
The science has attempted to tell us what we are most likely to prefer. It should not be used to tell us what we must like.
@@gregworrel2623 Hi Greg. I think you should go read more about the testing before you make statements about what they did or didn't do in the testing. I doubt that you will do that because you don't want to believe the results. What Erin did was test the speaker and point out serious flaws in their response. You are basically saying that the testing doesn't matter because lots of people like the speaker. I am saying that your conclusion is faulty because most people have the ability to recognize a linear response with low distortion when they hear it and this has been proven at great expense. My conclusion is that people like this speaker because it is efficient and cheap, but not because it sounds good. Your argument against that is that you aren't one of those people that prefers a linear response and low distortion. OK. I accept you for who you are.
I was just at my daughter's school recital last night and they had a 212XL hooked up to the keyboard. I think that is the type of customer they are targeting.
Erin, I have asked you a few times to review these speakers since there is so much chatter on the forums about how capable they are. I just finished my first dedicated room and bought 3 of these for my LCR and I personally think they are fine for my first setup. I see this as an opportunity for my first upgrade to get some better speakers for my front stage. Keep doing what you do man! I love your reviews. I think you just need to be honest. I don't want to watch a channel that gives great reviews about everything because I will assume that the reviewer is being paid to push products. Also, they are big, cheap speakers so I don't think that anybody should be surprised by this review. You are the best speaker reviewer out there. Keep it real Erin
You might have been the fellow who I mentioned in the video (who I said just asked me a couple days ago). Thanks for the suggestions.
I’m an audio engineer and those speakers are really terrible and not worth buying. You can maybe do speech only in a pinch, but you wouldn’t buy them if you know anything about audio lol!!! There are some other inexpensive PA speakers out there that are actually good and you just save a little more and get something good…
I value the negative reviews as much as the positive reviews.
With a little elbow grease, you can use some car-dampening foam sheets of your choice and place them strategically on the inside. Sometimes you have to customise things to make it work for your needs. I've taken junk and made people scratch their heads wondering why my stuff sounds so good. Think outside of the box and you can rule the world.
It is your willingness to occasionally give negative reviews that has caused me to respect you, subscribe to your channel, and recommend you to others. Some reviewers seem afraid to give such reviews since the manufacturers will not send them products to review in the future. Other reviewers seem to think their channel is too sophisticated to review products such as the Behringer speakers. Your forthright and honest approach to reviews causes me to respect whatever you have to say.
I just want the straight up subjective and objective data which is what you provide! Keep doing what your doing. I don't need some fluff piece of a guy stroking the manufacturers ego, I just want the honest performance. Glad you are doing better and back at it again!
Truth And Facts are not positive or negative. They are simply reporting Data.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for calling out crap. In my former life, research reviews are supposed to be tough. I generally did NOT crap all over a lousy article, but if it was "beyond," I was not spending my time telling people how to fix their work. I suspect this is where you landed on this particular speaker.
Pretty much. These kind of reviews are necessary but not very fun.
@@ErinsAudioCorner When I was a prof, early on, I found that my doc students were too polite when it came to reviewing research (they would NOT point out any potential flaws). That made me nuts. So, I hit upon a great exercise: The Bonehead Research Project. They were to go find the WORST piece of published research in their areas of study, tear it apart, then write a review and present it to their colleagues. I say all of this because you are helping us to become much more discerning when it comes to audio speaker engineering. I do NOT have the technical background, but even I can suss out when speakers are trouble, if I can see the data. So THANK YOU for occasionally posting "The Boneheaded Speaker Design."
Great to see you do some PA speaker measurements and be honest about it! Would you consider reviewing/measuring outdoor speakers for the home too? Would be interesting to see if you really can get the hi-fi sound in your backyard like some brands keep marketing.
I came across this ideal few years back: using PA speakers for HC. These were the first recommended on forums. But I was more interested in LD Systems ICOA 12A with rotatable coaxial horn. I bought it but struggled with 50hz hum from the grid so I have to return it without proper test. Time to time I take a look on the PA speakers market to see if there are more coaxial speakers, because I like the ideal of point source.. maybe I'll try Icoas once more with more knowledge how to solve the hum. Have fun Erin and don't be shy to speak negatively based on objective data. I am full of all the cherish everywhere on everything.
i buy today the BX212XL per 35 usd ... EASY TO HANDLE and travel, good sound , good design and premium materials ... i have too other models like P.A.S. and i know how im talking about...
Really helpful info! I nearly went this route (7x the 15" version for bed layer) after hearing what the guys were saying on AVS forum, but it seemed "too good to be true." No remorse now that I've seen your video!
What about these compared to the powered PK112A? Either way, these speakers are not really advertised for Studio sound use..They do have other ones better suited for 2.0 home theater for this brand. Home theater should be 5.0 or 7.0 surround sound anyhow right..Speakers suck when you have to put them in use before you know what your going to get!
It's really hit or miss with Behringer. Mics and speakers are usually garbage. But I love my x32 mixer. XR18 was my first digital mixer with an ipad as an interface I ever used and love it. Used a few of their usb interfaces also and not had any problems yet.
Thanks for the honest vid.
Would love to see more PA speakers and if you can get good quality sound out of them for larger spaces like clubs and small bars. I was in a bar that had a band etc.. Two mackie 15s
And i think one JBL 18 sub and it filled that whole space with decent sound and maybe 100 people.
Thanks again.
Keep being you.
I could have told you about those.
They took what the JBL EON offered and made it cheaper.
I've actually considered buying a pair of those myself to review and (if they sound good) keeping them for my own backyard. But that was pre-divorce. Likely not goin to happen now.
That was a bomb ass beat box at the end. Doug E Fresh would be jealous
We had a similar, but smaller, speaker come in some time ago. They are the cheapest PoS speakers around. The cabinets were similarly super resonant, and they were completely empty other than the barebones crossover and drivers, which can explain a lot of the resonances in the impedance and phase plots... But theres also so many its impossible to tell which is driver and which is cabinet based...
No surprise that the ones you looked at are equally terrible.
That was what I was telling Joe; that it's hard to tell what is the source of resonance and what's not. And something like this... it's not even worth taking the time to investigate. I imagine any modifications to fix it would be more costly than just buying a JBL or QSC speaker for home use if that's what you want.
@@ErinsAudioCorner Absolutely, they're a budget consumer product, designed to be used then tossed when they inevitably break.
Out of morbid curiosity, I wonder if these could be saved by putting them in a custom enclosure. I'm sure it would be uneconomical, but still
They likely could be, would be interesting to see if the drivers are worth salvaging.🤔 Don't think they would be massively special, however going DIY route it's possible to make cheap stuff sound infinitely better than most off the shelf stuff with a proper crossover design. Certainly an interesting idea for anyone who has a pair and willing to experiment.
Yes but the woofer would still not be able to go under 100 Hz so...
@@Lesterandsons that's because of the way undersized enclosure as Erin pointed out
It’s a difficult task to name a bad product bad in public. You need knowledge, experience and balls. You got it.
I wouldn’t buy those speakers either. Thanks again for your efforts.,
Definitely see if you can review QSC speakers because they're generally known as great options for this space. JBL as well.
That would be great. I upgraded my B215XL behind my screen LCR to the QSC 1120. The QSC sound a lot better and fit very nicely behind a 120 inch 16:9 screen. Be great if Erin could do a review of these!
Agreed, the Behringer ones are really bad but i have heard good things about QSC. Happy that Erin reviewed something other than bookshelf speakers anyway! 🙂
I can understand why they got the review they did, but what I can't understand is that these are strictly outdoor PA speakers not home theater. So who would consider these for home theater/audio listening? I'm really surprised that anyone actually was asking for review and might be considering these for in home use.
Me, too. But there are a lot of people who use these for home theater or are considering these because of a few threads on the Internet
lol these speakers are not for home theater purpose 😂😂
That would make a good Erin's audio corner t-shirt "That's straight resonance, y'all!"
😂
Thanks for this review. Great and informative as usual.
I actually read the previously mentioned forum, (before finally bumped into your video) since, yes, I'm intrigued about some high sensitive speaker to be driven with AVR amplification for home theatre purpose.
Theoritically, is it possible to reduce resonances if speaker is utilized within baffle wall configuration?
Thanks, Erin. Better days ahead.
This is crazy! It's a PA speaker and an entry level one at that. Has no place in a domestic setting. Even the guys at behringer themselves would laugh and think this is crazy to use a PA speaker like this in a high quality home system.
I've had it's predecessor, the Eurolive B215D for over a decade. Same enclosure, same problems. The grill actually rings when you tap it. It's one source of alot of resonance so removing the grill solves some of resonances. You need to stuff this with alot of dampening material to get it on an even keel, then they sound half decent for it's price, but even then, you dont get around the fact that the enclosure is simply too small and built out of some awfull plastic.
It's funny, this speaker design is old enough to enroll into college, how did they not even try to improve on it in almost 20 years is beyond me.
I'd love to see your more PA gear Erin! I know brands like Yamaha, RCF, QSC, JBL and EV have some gems, but are all powered, and I'm not sure how much the amp hiss will affect their performance in a home environment.
Looking at the price I do wonder if one could with reasonable effort beef up the enclosure and fill in some absorbing material....
Still looking at the port tuned to 50Hz and having nothing below 100Hz one would probably need to at least double the volume to get something like bass. Might not be worth the effort.
Have a pair of the 12" version myself. Couldn't agree more. They kinda suck. But they are super cheap and light. Put a battery powered DSP Bluetooth amp on them and use them for Portable audio
The first 3 minutes were beautiful verbal violence . ❤❤❤❤❤. Straight resonance😂😅
I forgot to reply to this! Thanks for the honest review! And thanks for the shout out @Erin’sAudioCorner Keep up the good work!
Great review as always! Really pleased you did this. I actually had 3 x B215XL behind my screen as a temporary option for a few months while considering what route to go down. Despite how bad they measured, I actually found them to be decent, especially for movies when properly integrated with the subs. And they are super cheap! I ended up selling them for not much less than I paid. The QSC 1120's that I upgraded to do sound a lot better.
Who is buying these speakers for their home theater ha ha ha... Behringer B212XL & B215XL is basically a PA for school , office or family gathering performance .
The reason I love your reviews is that I don’t just have to trust you, you show us the indisputable facts. The legendary engineer Phil Irving (of Vincent motorcycle fame, and designer of the Vincent Black Shadow) used to say, “If you can measure a thing, you can say you know something about it.” The implication being if you CAN’T measure a thing, you’re thoughts are subjective, and scientifically irrelevant. You and Amir at ASR are genuinely doing a public service; you should be proud of that.
I'm all about brutal honesty. If its junk, thats not your fault, right?
@Douglas Blake Nobody is losing sleep missing out on a potential Behringer endorsement... i think Erin's good
Damn that looks bad.😮 Fair play to you though, consumer needs to be warned about certain products, those that don't cover any negatives are not reviewers, they are just influencers. It's refreshing to have someone genuinely on the side of the consumer which is why I'm subscribed, keep doing what you do, honesty is a rare commodity these days.🙂
Active engineer here. Yes; been so disappointed with real advancements in audio hardware development.
We have Kevler ZLX-15 as fronts for our home theater, which seem like a clone of the Electrovoice ZLX-15. I wonder how good the original is with measurements. Though I plan to get some nicer front speakers in the long run anyways.
7:17, are you colorblind my friend?😛
Probably. I was seeing red the majority of the time I was reviewing this speaker.
If you want something good from Beringer, the 1200D subwoofer is port tuned for chest punch frequencies and is great as a nearfield sub.
@Douglas Blake thanks for telling me. I’ll make sure I only make suggestions specifically for you and only you in the future. I’m so sorry I even suggested this and didn’t realize you were the main character here and the only one that mattered. You’re right - anyone else having different needs from you for their home audio/video setups is completely stupid.
Just tapping the plastic case should be enough. Instantly you just know. Lots of examples of such speakers in today's shops, often by big name makers. I'm sure you have seen them, often with flashing LEDs around the cones.
I have two b210d's just for fill in my home cinema, i bought them with no plate amps for £15 each and after some diy plate amps and sound treatment wool i must say they sound ok. Though i dont have the most atuned ear nor do i have them very loud.
I just saw these get recommended. Always wondered about them, never thought they’d live up to what some say they do in home theater.
Have you reviewed any outdoor speakers before. I couldn't find any videos. If you haven't you definitely should. Especially with summer coming up
I haven't.
The JBL SRX835 and smaller SRX815 is a lot better speaker IMO but cost more too. Wish you could get your hands on a pair to review them as HiFi and / or HT speakers.
I’ve used Beringer my entire band career there ARE NOT MEANT FOR HOMW THEATERE only use with mixer and graphic eq
Does B advertise them for HT? Those are pretty much designed to fill large or even outdoor areas with sound for cheap as possible. If I wanted to put some sound outdoors around a noisy pool...eh, they will work
Basically what I said in this review.
Who would even consider B'ringer "DJ speakers" for home use?? That's just stupid. Don't even try to use them as PA for a band.
Oh holy hell, this is pretty much my fault. 😅 I knew they would be objectively bad but I didn’t mean to cause all this!
Are you kidding? It's great. My AVS thread is still alive after 10 years. People are still talking about these speakers after 10 years. They were not even a new model 10 years ago! Most other speaker lines have seen 2-3 revisions in this time period. The fact it took this long for them to get an "objectivist roast" is the ONLY shocker, IMO.
@@MarkHenninger People wanna save money and Behringer equipment is as cheap as it gets haha. Their amps are terrible as are their speakers and mixers. But at that price point, how are they NOT going to attract attention, right?
Now what I wanna see is a someone making a temporary outdoor theater 9.4.6 Atmos setup with some trussing, QSC K12’s and KW181’s. Now THAT would be interesting. 😂
@@genesis344 And yet even some folks snobbin' the Berry XLs are running iNuke's in their gear closet, lol
@@MarkHenninger As long as they don’t try to pull 3000 and 6000 watts from their NX’s or iNukes, they’re gonna be alright lol.
It’s cheap PA speaker, If you are hi fi channel it doesn’t make any sense to me to includes product like this. Try some JBl PRX, a three way one.
News flash: “giant sized dirt cheap PA speaker measures poorly”
I’d be curious to know how it measures for it’s application. Ie. playing music really f’n loud
Distortion is on par with many bookshelf speakers Ive tested. And you already heard me talk about how terrible the FR is.
Oh, didn't expect you to touch on PA speakers. There's probably a few out there that should get a mention, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious how the new Stagepas 200 sounds
Kinda expected this from a cheap PA speaker. It just has to play loud, and this one seems to do ok at that since it has reasonably well behaved dispersion pattern and relatively good SPL abilities. For its intended application, its actually ok (Edit: And by "ok", I mean something dirt cheap to use at an event for voice announcements). But I would seriously question the use of any PA speaker in an application of fidelity since efficiency and surviving abuse are the two top design goals. Still its a good case study 🙂
yes, if your budget for PA only covers this, you get a lot actually. there would be no alternative.
I wonder though if people buying these are aware that they are not build to reproduce bass. people probably see an 15" and think no subwoofer will be needed. these have big woofers for SPL, not to go deep
@@Jaburu Yeah that was my comment above in that it’s only good for voice. Maybe undemanding sound reinforcement. The small cabinet and general cheapness is an automatic tip-off that you won’t be getting much below 100 Hz or so.
@@mysock351C but full range PA speakers don't make much sense anyways....unless it's used in a circle of people on the street watching a street artist
@@Jaburu Which is probably their intended market given how cheap they are 😉
"and they sound like plastic jugs with speakers attached to them" :) that was good.
Thank you! It'll be nice to see more reviews on PA for home hi-fi/HT bargains. TANNOY VX/VXP 12 and 15 from the same Tribe will be really appreciated))
Glad to see you back on your feet again man! Love your vids, and the ''hi fi daily'' is killer! DO you think you could ever do a review on the RSL 10 Speedwoofer? Would love you opinion. I'm thinking of trading my 15-year old 250w ported JBL sub, but the only alt down here is the little sealed SVS, and afraid it's gonna be too weak. Martin The Pinhead SHF.
Thank you for the videos you make.
If you can try and make measurements

I have 215 but only use it for karaoke🥰
Didnt even know these Behringers were a thing for HT until this vid. Give it to them raw Erin!!!
These speakers are not made for home theater. these are gig speakers
What PA speakers do you recommend for home theatre?
Truthfully, I don’t know what all the options are anymore. In my previous home theater, I used JBL pro speakers. But I had custom, active crossovers, and DIY built cabinets for the Wolfers.
JBL and EV are safe bets.
A good honest man. Keep up the good work, like your videos.
Don't sweat a negative review. You have integrity, and sometimes acting integrity isn't easy.
sounds to me like you got terrible quality preamps
Your review resonates with me
😂
LOL @ the beatboxing at the end. You did have fun with this one 🙂.
If you're going to extend your reviews to cover pro audio speakers, I'd like to see one done of the one of the QSC offerings...
Any particular suggestion on the QSC? I'll keep my eyes peeled. I've got some local PA guys who are offering up some various stuff.
@@ErinsAudioCorner The K12.2 is I think their most common model. It's a powered unit with a 12" driver that's supposed to reach down to 50 Hz.
That Behringer stuff is just terrible. If I had that money to spend, I'd buy beer instead.
Great to see a negative POV. Behringer is an odd brand, and I say 'brand' because I suspect that they rebrand gear out of China. At the other end of the scale, some of their more expensive pro audio gear seem to be highly regarded. A brand driven by bean counters and marketing drones. Subscribing.
Edit: to be clear, I have no problem with Made In China, but if Topping and SMSL can supply measurements that don't make objectivists cringe, is it really that hard to build a cheap speaker that does the same ?
You saved me money!!
This was highly entertaining! Seeing how a jank speaker performs is arguably more interesting than seeing a good performer. There's so many ways to screw up! 😂
So good to have you back Erin
Cheap PA for home theater?
Nope.
How about trying to get Unity Audio Boulder MKIII DSP for testing?
🏴☠Using B215XLs in your home theater rig can now officially be considered punk🏴☠
It’s so straightedge!
The fact that you would even entertain reviewing these is slightly cringe.. we all know these are designed and intended for use within a PA system.. and based on their overall sound qualities - they barely rise above the application of a garage band dragging these around from venue to venue strictly for vocal purposes.. if you’re taking suggestions on the next set of speakers to review, might I suggest the PA system in use at the train station..? Slightly Cringe but Somewhat Entertaining.
Why would someone even consider that for home theater? 😵
There’s a 4000+ post thread on AVSforum about these in a home theater. Many asked me to review them so they could see the data for that reason. Yikes.
@@ErinsAudioCorner I replied to this comment yesterday. Are my replies being deleted?
@@gregworrel2623 probably. it's becoming less free in america these days
I'm glad you did this one. Behringer blows lmao
During the last few seconds of the video (beat boxing), I noticed tons of port chuffing and some resonance. Next up, review of Erin's "bio-speaker" xD
Jokes aside, lovely and honest review like always!!
😂😂
I bought those when that Avsforum thread was posted by Mark. I do agree there not good. Thanks for the review.
I've seen even worse than that.
Layer it with Amazon Basics sound deadener 😂
All for the Berries, FTW!
These might be bad, but the plastic "subwoofer" that fits in the spare tire of my GTI can't possibly be better! So tie?
I call. :D
I agree with the video title, but calling any product "bad" is mostly an expression of someone's opinion, turned into a pseudo fact.
In no way does Behringer advertise these speakers as Home Theater devices. You could as well review a lawn mower, stepper motor or a floppy drive and point out its acoustic resonances.
I'm sure the speakers technically work to play music and amplify voices, which is what they're advertised at. There's no "Hifi" reference in the Behringer product description. I don't see why you'd call the devices bad speakers if they never claimed to be anything but cheap and portable.
Apart from that I love your content, keep up the good work! 🤙
Okay I read the ad again: they say "the B215XL sounds great ". I take everything back, I suppose you were right, lol.😂
Well now I know to watch h Daily HiFi!

They are! You've surely heard them sounding like crap many times.

@@TheKing-mz1qv yes. The 1961 represent a great value.
Wow
I remember hearing about these years ago...........i wonder how other PAs would do
Bro this is good for mosque not for quality applications. 🤣
Surprise surprise surprise(Gomer Pyle).....cheap crappo pair of no-budget PA/DJ speakers get a bad review. Shocking....JUST SHOCKING!
Shazam Shazam Shazaaaam.
Great job as always!
Of course they’re not good. Those are designed for PA usage. SMH 😅
Does not change the fun people can have with 'em even if they offend "those in the know" or whatever.
@@MarkHenninger fun can be had and should be the main goal of any given hobby. My fun thing is buying weird looking bluetooth speakers. They are crap in every sense of the word but I have fun playing with them although I may only use it once for a couple of minutes and never touch them again.
They're cheapo speakers for "live" DJ work I guess.
I heard something like this at such an event. They sounded fine for the use especially with NC headphones on xD too much crowd noise and people in the way to care about sound quality
