Subject:	Amplified and ready to go
Quality:	Very well made speakers. Have two pair for three years and another pair for less than a year. No problems on any of them.
Features:	I sometimes forget that I can go to the amp box and control the output and don't have to rely on the cd drive or stereo or whatever. This added control comes in handy. Have never used the mic or headphone inputs.
Ease of Use:	Can't think of anything else I would want in a small set of amplified speakers.
Sound:	Have a set hooked up to my Yamaha keyboard and another to a 5 disc cd changer or a small dvd player (for lessons) or a zoom H2 in my blues room. I have another set in my bedroom hooked up to a Stanton S300 CD player that I use to practice guitar and the sound is phenomenal especially in the smaller room.
Reliability:	So Far no problems, and don't expect any
Overall:	I don't think you can buy a better pair of amplified speakers that sound as good as these do. I use all the speakers for background sound except for the keyboard.
Do you own this product?:	Have three sets and will be ordering another.

Subject:	At this price you probably won't get anything better
Quality:	They seem to be well made. Too soon to know how they will hold up but I've had good luck with Behringer.
Features:	Front controls are nice but you can't see where the knobs are set, a white line on the knobs would solve that problem. Mic jack is a unique feature.
Ease of Use:	Easy to use, helpful diagram for hookup is in the manual.
Sound:	Sound is good as long as you don't expect too much, these are hobby monitors. The MS40 Behringer monitors have a pro sound that these don't, and much better low and mid range as well. I don't want to say you get what you pay for but with the MS40's you get way more than you paid for.
Reliability:	Too soon to know about the reliability
Overall:	If you have the money go with the Behringer MS40 monitors. If you can only afford the MS16's I think you will be happy with them.
Do you own this product?:	YES
