Behringer MPA200BT

Sound is very good for it's price. Bass is suprisingly low, mids and highs are clear and overall sound can be very loud without distortion on high volume.

Battery is fantastic, after 5 hour reproduction on 80% volume I still had 20% capacity left.

Overall quality is excellent, build quality is solid.

Android application has major flaw - APP DOES NOT WORK IF GPS IS OFF, stucks on Scanning. Just turn GPS (location services) on and it will work from Android 6.0 and newer. Without application device setup is complicated since there is no dedicated buttons for volume levels.

Overall speaker is excellent for the money.

I personally would like if you could buy this without an internal battery.

At 12.1 Kg, it's quite heavy for it's relative compact size. Much of this weight is created by an internal lead-acid battery, like an old car battery chemistry—not the more lightweight lithium batteries in our modern devices. But like I say, I'd pay to have this with no battery. I don't mind having to plug this in. It's only one plug. We play bluetooth music from an iPad and we use the bundled wireless handheld microphone for the dance teacher to call the steps. But we'd gladly like to use one power lead if it meant no battery and 7 Kg less weight.

Behringer (aka Music Tribe), please sell us a version of this without the battery for reduced weight!!

Just because a speaker has Bluetooth does not mean we want the additional weight of a forklift battery. Give your customers choice. Make two versions...one with a battery and one without a battery. A MPA200BT (no battery version). The person who teaches our dance class is not young and they always needed help lifting this speaker.

One more feature I would like would be the ability to make the mic even louder again, relative to the music. We know the speaker is capable of being very loud because the music can blast! But the mic cannot blast. Please give the mic more oomph, by updating the firmware!!
