Behringer Powerplay P2 Reviews

Sturdy metal casing and a handy clip - sound quality is decent, only con is that there is a constant low buzz

Fantastic personal foldback

This little blighter is incredible. You get an active personal foldback (assuming you can run an XLR cable to it) with volume control. Just choose your own headphone preference. The batteries last for hours and if you buy one for your drummer they will probably love you.

Less Radio please

The Sound is enjoyable warm, The Clip is good.

The Metal case and switches can take a kicking

and prob. looks good very used.

Weight could be lower, a titanium version

for 3 x the cost could sell to Performers with thinner Cloth.

Output volume is good.

Plenty Headroom the mix just works

even without the close proximity of unity gain with the Desk.

I blew one with a Midas by un muting a aux on high Volume.

Got got a replacement.

Best solution for the money

Great build, mono/stereo sw, combo input, smooth volume pot, batteries can do more than 15 h of performing, great solution for personal monitoring in every situation. Also can power 250 OHM headphones. Simply the best.

A true beast

This unit has nothing to do with the P1.. This is a very high quality piece with A LOT of headroom. You cant even turn it more that 50% without blasting your ears off.

Battery lasts for at least 10 hours or more.

I am afraid these will go up on the price again... because are excellent!

Tired of carrying floor monitors for my 5 members Latin band I have decided to purchase 4 units singe I am the singer and I have an IEM wireless. I was afraid while waiting their arrival... but just trying one noticed the excellent, robust construction. The option to put them mono or stereo, enough volume in case of noisy environments, very easy to use definitively will make me buy more because in my big band we are 12. What I am afraid is the fact that the price is rising, maybe because they are so good. What I say to my guys is "bring your headphones because we don't have floor monitors... at the end, my back is better!

How did this happen?!

Bought this in 2019 for €29 ...now it's €58 ...as far as I have noticed I don't get double my salary since 2019. This is ridiculous. The amp is pretty cool, but it's not 60 bucks cool. The batteries fall out and the belt loop bends out of shape 29 bucks ...sure. but increasing prices by double every four years ....not ok WTH

Does exactly what I need

I bought this to use my IEM's live, I thought it was a reasonably priced solution and I have been proven right.

As a drummer, being hardwired in rather than using a radio pack is much more beneficial and this provides more than enough volume for everything I do. Battery life is excellent, its small enough to not get in the way and couldn't be more simple to use.

I would definitely recommend the P2 for anyone running IEM's that can stay stationary on stage. Singer/Guitarist in my acoustic duo tried it and loved it so much he bought one too. It has never let me down.

VFM Amp IEM

Good quality ,clean sound best choice for this money. Recommend it

It is great sound wise, but durability is in question

I love this, and all my rehearsals are with this. For this price I cant complain but I do have to say, the clip at the back of this headphone amplifier bends VERY easily so be careful.

Easy to use

Cheap and easy way to obtain an in-ear system. Decent audio, particularly for me, only needing vocals, kick and snare. I only use one ear as we still use a back line and they are predominantly used for my own vocals. Now and again I forget and walk off with it attached but it is fairly robust. I use it mainly as a spare to my wireless system, but I've used it about a dozen times without issue.

It gets the job done.

Well it's flimsy and god forbid you drop it on the floor but it gets the job done. The metal clip is real soft and it bends easily and the base deformed after a few wedding giggs. This is because on tight stages I sometimes step on the cable thats connected to it which drags the clip. But as for sound it's decent enough for the price with a good volume knob.

IMO you can't get anything better at this price point, so if don't have much space to move around on the stage this is the best thing for the money.

Missing a low bttery indicator.

The cable lock (XLR) works very good, the sound level output for in-ears is great. Ususally I use the volume up to 1/2 the way.

Fine until it lasted

After a few shows, it simply died. Why, I'm not sure. But it gradually started to sound worse and worse, until it simply stopped working all together.

It's a shame because it was a nice little thing to have for gigs

Solid build quality, great sound quality, great price.

Bought to give me in-ear capability for gigging and recording, this is a good piece of kit. Long battery life, great sound quality, solid belt clip, XLR is retained well but full stereo jack can be used (which was nice!)

Recommended for an inexpensive in-ear experience. The rest of the guys in Infinite Biscuits have bought the same one now!

I am very happy with this product

A wonderful device for this money. Performs all the functions I need.

Nice things

Clear sound, sound clear than p16, if your preamp is clean. One thing complain is that it have the metal noice when open the battery cover. Sound wise is not bad.

ideal for small bands

no I own 5 of them and tI believe this is the best value for money IEM system. it can connect with both XLR and "instrument" plug and the battery lasts for ever. if you can work with a cable in around you then this is the best solution.

I have other wireless systems and some other stereo systems. this is the one every musician and sound engineer prefers as they work under any circumstances with no issues.

the quality of the clamp is not the best. is getting loose easily

Very good unit

Excellent hard wired iem unit, good sound and plenty of volume from it. Never have to turn them up too much. Big improvement from older units. 2 AAA batteries power it and last for approx 12 hours. Would buy them again.

Behringer Powerplay P2 Review

Great addition for very little money, great product

Pros: Great sound quality

Great Price

Cons: Hook is a little weak and tends to bend into uncomfortable positions.

Flies through batteries

Battery compartment is a pain to get to.
