BehringerPOWERPLAY P2 Ultra-Compact Personal In-Ear Monitor Amplifier

I used these this morning at Church for the first time and they were superb. The guys on the desk gave me a great set up with a mix that really worked. So easy to set up and no lifting monitors or fold back speakers. Unbelievable value for something so good.

Great for IHM and reliable

I'm a keyboard player and have used wireless iems in the past, but unless you want to pay megabucks the sound is never that good. Recently been playing more with click tracks and was struggling with hearing it with onstage foldback speakers, so decided to give this a go as I'm stuck in one place on stage anyway so don't really need wireless. Sound quality is way better than anything I've tried before. there is a tiny bit of faint hiss from the amp, but you can't hear it at all when playing. I used an eneloop rechargeable battery and it's still going after a couple of gigs so shouldn't be an issue playing long gigs with it. I paired it with some fairly cheap iems so for about £60 total I have a decent monitoring system. I have an X-air digital desk so just take one of the monitor outputs from that straight into the P2.

If you don’t mind reduced mobility or sitting down whilst performing then just get these. The only drawback is the cable but they’re a damn sight cheaper than Bluetooth monitors. They fit well on a belt, they’re small and compact. They’re very very clear and can go stupidly loud if you’re sick of hearing

Just received the amp so all opinions are based on first impressions.Packaging - typical Behringer packaging, sturdy box with polystyrene innards to keep the product safe.Build Quality - Surprisingly sturdy full metal construction with a decent weight to the unit. It's a little bit smaller than I was expecting from the pictures online, which is great. Sturdy volume and balance pots that have no play in them from side to side with the volume pot having a bit of resistance to allow for more precise movement. The belt clip is also really sturdy and seems like it would take a lot of effort to try and break it. All sockets seem pretty standard with some pretty strong locking mechanisms on the XLR sockets which should prevent any cable from falling out at all. All screws and fixings are easily accessible and it looks like this thing can be opened up pretty easily. This being the case, if anything goes wrong with it after its warranty then it seem like it should be easy to open and repair if possible.Unfortunately, all my gear is in the bands van so I have nothing here to test sound quality with. This weekends gig will be its first outing and if there is anything horribly wrong with it, I will update this review. I haven't seen any bad reviews when it comes to sound quality, and when it will be on a noisy stage anyway I wont be needing hardcore audiophile level sound reproduction. Definitely seems worth the money for a quick, easy and convenient little wired IEM system.

Use this to have personal inear monitors and it works great. this connects straight to the desk using either a XLR or 6.25mm jack and provides an 3.5mm jack output for a set of headphones. I've used this a lot and been very happy with the performance, battery life and also the fact it has a volume control.

What do I use this for? Well I'm in a band and my drummer is really loud, I'm nearly 50 and I want to keep my hearing for a little bit longer. We had wireless in ear monitors before and they were pretty poor to be honest.If you don't jump around too much don't have lots of money, and don't mind wires then you won't mind this.Some venues can be quite small so you need to protect your ears, especially when you're pretty much on top of the drum kit.Signal amplification, I have no problem with.Charge rate. There is no charge rate because it's 2 x AAA batteries.Comfort : It has a big clip that you can put on your belt at the back and doesn't dig in.Design: it's sturdy as it's made of metal on the outside.The last thing to note. If you plug this straight into your pa system and it has a jack port and you can only hear it in one ear, then you'll need to switch it over, by removing the outer layer and there will be a slide switch on the inside. This will help you hear everything in both ears. Oh and you need to buy some in ear head phones as it doesn't come with it, pretty obvious I know but people still ask.Hope this helps!!

It's a great unit.Mono with a balanced XLR connection, and optional stereo if using an unbalanced connection (need to switch into this mode).Great construction quality, and goes plenty loud enough for IEM use on stage. Blatant rip of the Fischer headphone amp - but have to say, the Behringer does actually feel more premium for less money.Only slight annoyances are that it's AAA and not AA (which is more common place for wireless mic/IEM use - so have to carry AAA just for these units). Annoyance 2 is that the AAA can be dislodged in transport, or if the unit is accidentally dropped. This can be remedied with a piece of folded card around the battery... but seems a bit of a hack for something that should be durable enough for the rigours of touring.
