Behringer Powerplay P2 Reviews

should have the belt clip separate form the connector

Love this!

This is a must have item, I don't really use it for the talent, because it doesn't have the best sound, but I use it for live stream intercom audio, when camera operators have their own headphones! Works great!

Good product

Love it, it's really a good product

Essential for the gigging musician

Belt hinge is a little fragile and stretches easily but overall the unit is solid, easy to use and provided your batteries are fresh, delivers clear sounds to your IEMs. Simple to use, not a lot of features but adequate if you don't want to faff around on stage with loads of controls. I prefer this to wireless belt backs although it can restrict your movement on stage. With a short cable, it can feel like wearing baby reins! Overall, good value for money.

No problems after a year of using it.

Simple and cheap option for in ear monitoring

I use it as keyboard player since I don’t move much, the wired option is ok for me.

Changing the battery is a bit complicated..Solid material..

good but not very strong

It's a very useful device to have with you while giving an performance but don't expect the best sound out of it. With moment and especially when louder the sound tends to get worse especially when going till the end of your battery life.

The case isn't the most firm case, after 1 or 2 drops it already bends at all sides which can get you get in trouble when trying to open the case to changes the batteries or to change from mono to stereo or vice versa.

But after all for this price I still don't regret using them and when they start to get to bended or used I just buy another one.

Very practical headphone amp

Great for connecting e.g. a effect pedal that lacks headphone output to headphones, for the times you just want to experiment on the road or on your couch. Good sound quality, and has more that enough power. Low general noise level. Stereo input using a standard insert cable (2xTS -> TRS).

Only cons (barely):

- If you turn it up to near max volume (so loud it would hurt your ears) you can hear a slight high frequency noise/tone. But it's not possible to hear this noise at normal listening levels.

- I wish it had 6.3mm headphone output instead of 3.5mm. But I guess that would make it too big.

it is so good

I use this item at my church.

this is very good item.

for small stage and small band this is the answer.

it is really really good item.

Perfect and simple

Needed a solution for in ear monitors for when im performing either live on stage or streaming in Twitch Music.

This works great, I can come from a headphone socket or out of a bus. My bass player also has one and we can now have separate mixes going to our in ears. Amplifier is super "HOT" which is great.

Best price/performance bodypack

Took one for each band member for rehearsal purposes

With normal headphones it brings plenty of power to to make playing together comfy for everyone in the room.

Crispiness, of course, could be better but come on, it costs next to nothing and everyone hears everything and job can be done rather well

Not sure if it would suit you on stage with backing tracks, click etc. but as you well know, for serious use there is far more serious gear available

Me and all my bandmates are more than satisfied

very good

used it for some gigs , easy to use and straightforward. its as good as your in ear monitor. used mainly at mono and no complaints there.

pros:

- price is great

- small and lighweight

- has a locking mechanism

- has stereo or mono option ( mine was always mono)

not cons for what is is .

Monitor Amp Cheaper Choose

i use it with XR18, it is very convenient.

connect with XLR cable

Awesome!

Has plenty of volume, can work in stereo.

Wayy better than p1

For budget inear monitor. I highly recommend these stuff.

Very basic but solid

Pros:

+ It's small, doesn't take up space.

+ Doesn't drain battery fast so you can play a very long time, or multiple gigs on the same battery.

+ No nonsense, does exactly what you want.

+ Dual input for XLR or TRS plugs.

cons:

- Rattles a bit when you move it.

- Changing battery is a bit annoying and doesn't go as quickly as the Powerplay P1. But not really a problem.

- No stereo, obviously.

I'm very happy with this. I use it for inear monitoring on gigs. I also have the Behringer Powerplay P1, but I use this P2 more because it's just smaller to take with me. Since I alway have a mono monitor signal I don't really need all the other features that the P1 provides.

Good

Better then the P1. A definite upgrade

Great update from P1 version

Very handy and easy to us. Only thing I don't like, the opening mechanism is loose.

powerfull and compact, Price allows no questions to be asked.

P2 is a much better than a P1 amp in both: size and power.

It is much more comfortable to use it for a standing setup, because, it is not as bulky as P1. If you make a custom cable 2 xlr mono > 1 xlr stereo it works as a stereo amp flawlessly. And thats the only thing that is better on the P1.

Power of the amplification and the power consumption is way better than it's bigger brother. 9v batteries on the P1, can hold not more than 1/3 time of this AAA battery setup.. Its superb. Quality batteries hold up to 10gigs (±2hours of playing thru the night) for me. While the P1 is not as loud and powers up on a single battery only for ±3 gigs..

It has a good headroom (much more louder than a P1) for playing with a loud band and setting up a powerful headphone mix.

2 things, that could (and should) be improved:

1: Though the format is small, its not very VERY strong. I have had used it for 30-50 gigs already, always clipping it to my jeans strap, sometimes sitting on a chair, sometimes standing up, and, it's chassis has a dent around a XLR area, and a belt clip has a little lost its form.

This does not effect its performance in any way. Just it could be a little stronger.

2: The batteries, more than a few times, after a transportation have had fallen from their places, so almost 2/3 times, out of 4, after you arrive at a gig, you have to open it up and reattach the batteries in to their place.

Price - makes it a no brainer.

Would I recommend them? Why would you even ask it! Would recommend it by 150%. It is a must have for any gigging musician. Just to have it in their backpack with a cheap set of in ears (for example KZ ES4), if the venue is too noisy/loud/not enough monitors/not working monitors - you can save your day for a ±50eur and hear everything loud and clear.

perfect device for rehearsals

If you're looking for a device that allows you to save your wireless IEM system batteries during rehearsals this is the perfect one. Sounds great for the price.
