Behringer Powerplay P2 5-stars Reviews

Works great

This amplifier just works. I use it as a drummer, as a guitarist, as a backing singer, and the cable does not realy bother me. For rehearsals it's great, and i will be using it live too, but with my guitar wireless, to not get any cables tangled up. Materials are fine, combination of plastic and metal, but it does feel a little bit flimsy. The metal housing could have been a bit sturdier.

It does what it is made for

Surely there are better products , but not for this price (not even close). Its decent quality material, loudness is ok for the stage, its light... I bought it, i use it for giggs. Have no complaints for this price.

Simple but reliable

Not the most fancy of IEM setups, but its an easy and reliable way to do cabled IEM. I have used it for a few years now and it holds up, good stuff!

Works as intended

No issues, it works as intended.

Rigid, perfect solution for your IEM needs

Not wanting to deal with wireless systems I chose Behringer Powerplay P2 for both, my singer and I. As I am mostly sitting while playing guitar and singing being hooked to a wire wasn't a deal breaker. One knob operation and the quality of sound (not to mention the battery life which is far longer than my 4 hour gigs) proved a no-brainer choice over similar products. If you are a keyboard, guitar or any other "stationary" player Behringer Powerplay P2 is the right tool for the job!

Does exactly what it says on the tin

This doe exactly what you need it to do. I have used this for a few years now and i can honestly say it is amazing. The batteries last around 5 shows that are around 2 hours long each. Highly recommend this product.

Very compact personal in-ear monitor system with some Wireless IEM hack

This is a very compact personal in-ear monitor system and these are great IEM systems for anyone who does not need a wireless system. BUT if you need Wireless IEM setup that don't cost hundreds or thousands euros, here is one TIP: DIY Wireless IEM "hack" setup to save extra money and portability on stage - three components that you need: Behringer Powerplay P2, some kind of wireless guitar system (aka Harley Benton AirBorne 5.8GHz Instrument or some similar cheap wireless transmitter options) and earbuds. Now you have your personal wireless IEM :) So, this is a trick to save some money and I can confirm that the wireless receiver and the P2 behave very well together. You can also connect a guitar to it and play with headphones, with these wirelessly hacked or with cable just for practice without disturbing anybody. Of course, if you want the guitar to be wireless as well, you'll need another set of wireless. One tip for mixers: if you use XLR to send a balanced mono signal from the mixer's aux, then set the switch to mono and the sound goes to both ears. If you are using XLR to send a stereo signal from the output to the headphones, then put the switch in the stereo position and it works as a stereo. cons: the batteries sometimes come loose when you drop it or shake it heavily, I actually tape the batteries to the socket to fix it, no big problem pros: batteries last a LONG time.. it says 10 hours.. mine lasts at least 20!... it's cheap (half the price of the Fisher Amp Stick (which it copies). It sounds GOOD man. Really good. I also use it for monitoring in the studio.

Simplest solution for in-ear monitors

If simple reliability is your goal for a headphone amp, then this is a good device to buy. Pros: - Sturdy and simple, can withstand the chaos of live performances - Powered by AAA batteries so you don't need a separate power source - Possibility for stereo audio - Obvious how to open the device Cons: - Stereo audio requires purchasing a separate XLR splitter cable, and (as far as I understand) the signal will be unbalanced - Not obvious how to close the device (the rotation of the chassis has to be aligned right, and in a live setting with poor lighting this may not be the easiest)

Excellent Quality, Great addition

I bought this because I was struggling to hear my earpiece at max volume on my pa. The extra boot in level this offers is a huge help. Simple to use, great battery life (better than described for me) and solid build quality

Behringer P2

It does what it says on the tin. I have used the P2 live and I didn't even notice it after a while of playing. Batteries last a while. It's quality is pretty good, features are basic but works great.

Great for IEM live if you sit

For drummers, this is a great starting point if you don't have the money to buy wireless IEM's. Sound is good and build quality is sturdy. But I don't recommend it if you move a lot and are standing on stage. You will definitely trip over the wire, unplug yourself or the device won't stay in place and fall. The clip is decent but not good enough for movement.

Useful pre-amps

I use four of these for live monitors switched to mono - so far they seem to be good value for money. I bought lithium rechargeable battery's which work well with them. The sound is clear.

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.

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.
