Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
After four years of continuing use one unit burned out the output power stage. Other monitors I have had for the same period of time and under the same workload do not show any sign of exhaustion.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The best feature may be the power level and sound. I think it would be good to have a little more fidelity when it comes to frequency response
Ease of Use

Very easy to adjust if you know what you are doing and have measurement equipment. However this is always the case in most units but the more expensive top ones
Sound
How is the tone?
Very good tone almost comparable to units much more expensive.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Not the most reliable unit on the market. They may sound like Mackies however they are no Mackie at least in terms of dependability
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
A very good alternative for home studio monitoring on a budget

Made well. Switches are tight. Jack is solid. These puppies are heavy. I like that personally. May be unfounded, but seems to convey a certain quality. Then again... trains are heavy. I don't like listening to trains.

I mix in a small room. Compensation switch on these solved low end issue that bass traps couldn't

Very easy to adjust for room shortcomings
Sound
How is the tone?
It still amazes me the things I can hear. Fingers on a fretboard; A pick ready to strike a chord; Breath in a sax; Tip of a stick smacking a head; HiHat cymbals touching; blah, blah, blah. Even their silence sounds great. Lo end is tight and punchy (sounds cliche I know. But it's spot-on in this case). Wear a seatbelt until you get used to them Wind from the bass ports will move your hair from three feet away. I feel like I owe Behringer more money. They've got the perfect slogan -just listen.

Treble can be a tiny bit harsh for reproduction of acoustic instrument samples. But the only way your going to get better at the SPL I need is with Mackie HR824

These are amazingly well made. I don't have anything against Behringer as a company, but for a company known for it's budget-mindedness...these are possibly the best made item they've ever made.
Features

The best feature is definitely the sound. Nice flat response with zero coloration, what you hear is what you get.

I've had these for about 6 years now, one was even dropped from about 6 feet thanks to a drunkard, and they still sound as good as the day I purchased them.

You can't ask for better sound for your money.
