Very nice speaker set
I needed assurance monitoring for use on the road, and for the price these are very decent.
1) Sound
Sometimes to my ears sounds a little compressed, but this is probably some kind of loudness system for better bass response. Not an issue for my use though. Although I wouldn't advise these for reference monitoring use. They are even loud enough for PA'ing a of up to 25 people.
2) Build quality
Build quality is very decent. There is a grill to protect the front speakers and all the connectors are of decent quality. There are bass ports in the back, also convenient for carrying or moving them.
3) Connectivity
It's possible to connect 1/4" jack, RCA & USB, so everything from computers to a P.A. mixer are easily connected, direct XLR connectors would have been nice. Connection to the second speaker is done by a proprietary speaker connector. Maybe some standardised connector would be better but i guess you can't have everything, certainly not at this price point.
Summary: All in all a great buy for on-the-road use. Just don't expect it to be a studio monitor.

Superb Monitor.
I ordered these as I needed to replace my ageing studio monitors.I have other Behringer products and found them to be very reliable and so I looked for reviews of these and couldn't find a bad one. I ordered them and was not disappointed, the look, build quality and sound is just fantastic. Would definitely recommend these...

Good multipurpose desktop speakers
Sounds good, compact, many connection options. Good power for it's size. But also sounds good on lower volumes. Very good value for the price.

Really good product for the price
I'm using them mainly to play music in my music school. They are perfect for this purpose! Pretty loud volume in combination with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and good dynamic response. Didn't use them for mixing because I own some better speakers, but I think that they could work to make first steps into hard disk recording.

Excellent affordable choice
I’ve purchased Behringer Media 40USB for home use and it is more than enough for me. Don't underestimate the ease of access. You have the volume knob in-front and the aux jack, I’ve plugged a bluetooth adapter and have my audio streamed via iPhone.
Great speakers to listen to, one down thing is the headphone jack does not perform as expected, the sound from blue yeti is much better than this speaker when using headphone in both devices. Note I am not a professional audio editor.

Great value great sound
I have been using the Behringer Media 40USB speakers in my home studio for over a year the are great for listening to music. I did however make a slight adjustment in my mastering when I record music to compensate for the bass. The Behringer Media 40USB speakers are a little heavy on bass but once you know and compensate the are just fine. I would recommend them great value for the money!!!!
