I use these headphones for listening to music in a noisy office environement and am very pleased with them. The sound quality is great. They are comfortable enough to wear all day long (not something I can say about earbuds or other, cheaper headphones). They also block a lot of the ambient sound. I don’t know how they stack up at DJ headphones, but for the price they are great casual listening headphones.
How can I use Audacity to record audio from my Behringer Xenyx 2442usb mixer?
I have a Behringer Xenyx 2442usb behringer Multigate Pro mixer, and when I use the usb output to my computer (using Audacity as the recording/editing software) it doesn’t pick up any sound. Is there a setting I need to change on the mixer? Any suggestions?

This Behringer mixer, the UB802, is the same as what used to be called the UB602 – the original 6-channel mixer has simply been renamed as an 8-channel mixer. Which it is called depends on whether you count studio inputs (without their own equalizers) as valid inputs. The two identical mixers, 802 and 602, both have 4 stereo (mic) inputs with independent volume and equalization control.
In any case, both units (I have one of each) satisfy my personal needs perfectly, and have both been operating perfectly for a few years. I recommend them.

This review is to back up what has been already said. Once I spilled some water all over it and immediately unplugged it after leaving it powered for over a year. I noticed some distortion in the signal immediately over the loudspeakers when I spilled, but I calmly (but totally bumming) unplugged it and placed it upside down in front of a fan to dry it. The next day I set it up and the damn thing sounds sharp as ever. Since then I’ve been running it as a low level mixer for phantom power mics and such. There really isn’t any need to buy a better phantom power module unless you are willing to shell out the gold, because as advertised there is no audible noise when you learn how to adjust the mono track gain and level with the master bus level, just use balanced outs/ins to get a complete sound from your condenser microphones. Mark my words, Behringer products will be the stuff that future musicians label as good vintage equipment in the way that we rely on the good old stuff now.

I bought the Behringer UB802 with eight inputs to interface three mics to my camcorder. I tried a Radio Shack Mixer, which was extremely noisy and several others including a passive mixer. None worked like the Behringer. Behringer has so many models, but this one fit the bill with future expansion, if I need it. It’s a small package which makes it portable. A/C is needed as no battery backup is offered.
The mixer has two adjustable low noise preamps for dynamic type mics if needed. I needed them for audience use. All preamps are low noise type FETs, which makes this such a great audio mixer. The three band equalizers work great for audio enhancement and to limit noise as well. Nice feel on all the pots. Plus several outputs for different uses. Easy to read manual with a schematic diagram.
I use my camcorder to tape family functions such as reunions, golden wedding parties, major birthday parties, training uses, society functions, etc. The extra mics make a difference and a mixer is needed for making the audio sound great.
The only disadvantage is the volume indicator lights (no meters), which didn’t work properly, so I rated this with four stars. I didn’t really care though, since I use my own hearing as a reference. A great mixer at a low price!

I bought the UB802 originally just to have a small mixer for bringing in a few more things when recording. At the price, I didn’t expect much.
What a pleasant surprise! It’s rugged, clean, set up well (once you get used to such a small board) and over a year after I bought it, I can say that in all the projects I’ve used it, it has never let me down yet.
If you’re looking for a small board or are just starting out and looking for something affordable to learn on, but you don’t want something you’ll just be replacing in 6 months or a couple years..I’d rank the UB802 as an excellent choice. Ask anybody who works with sound and they can tell you, there’s no such thing as an “extra” little mixer. If it holds up good and sounds good, you’ll always find places for it in your studio or gig.
This is a good one. Kudos to Behringer.

needed a mixer for my nady wireless mike. researched on amazon and got this little amazing product. had a party for my daughter’s 18th birthday and the quality of my audio system was great. i just hooked my stereo amplifier to the behringer 502 mixer, plug the wireless mike and mp3 player and the party really rocked. my brother and friends were amazed by the sound and price of such a small set-up. better than hiring a dj as one friend suggested.

Exactly what you need if you want flexibility of your audio needs, plug your mics, players, computer, TV and this will deliver.

This thing really is useful. I started using one as a simple headphone/monitor control for a DAW here and it sits nicely by the computer keyboard. I’ve since bought a second one and modded the first with some opamp swaps and a less-bright orange power LED (as noted by another reviewer). I also had coincidentally added rubber feet to both of mine to handle that sliding around issue.
Another reviewer mentioned the mic pre going full blast at the very end of the trim knob range. Both mine have this to a degree, but one is way more pronounced. The pot itself is a good part of it (I swapped pots between the two), but it may be the circuit as well. I haven’t tried to resolve that yet and it isn’t that big of a deal here.
Wishes– Phantom power as others have mentioned. A single clean pre which could also do condensers would be great. Also, there is no easy way to grab the mic signal without including the full mix. A pre-fader direct out for the mic channel, or an insert jack which could be used like that would make it a lot more useful for tracking vocals and stuff where you needed the rest of the mixer for DAW/monitor duty. BTW- I don’t believe there’s a newer 502 with phantom as mentioned in another review. He may be thinking of the 802. I bought one of those a few days ago too. Seems nice too, but there’s nothing like the compact size of that smaller one.
Take Care
PS- Looks like my first one was bought used in 2007. The second was within a year of that and they’re in use most of the day, so I guess they’ve had ample time to break if they were going to.
**Edit** After some fishing around, it looks like there actually may be some new modded version of this thing with phantom power, but I can’t find any hard proof of it on their site, and the downloadable docs and spec sheets look the same as always. Some users mention a sticker added to newer boxes stating “Now with phantom power!”, but it sounds as if there is no way to disable it or know that it’s on as with the larger models. Someone else mentioned that it only measured 30vDC, but that may not be a problem. If it really has any, good for B!

Can’t ask for more, I can turn my home theater into a karaoke or video conference center with no trouble

The main thing I love about these headphones is that they are LOUD!!! I have no problems hearing them when I am on my dj gigs. They are actually much louder than the Sony’s I used to have that broke on me and I replaced those with these Behringers. They look cool as hell too. For the price, I got way more with these headphones that I thought I would. I am very happy with this purchase!

These headphones have excellent sound quality. They make the bass sound great! All around these headphones are great and they do look expensive

I’m a very frugal person as I’m on a college student’s budget. I bought these thinking they might provide good low end response, but sadly they really don’t. As the other reviews state, these are ‘open’ type headphones; you can very clearly hear everything that’s going on around you and don’t provide good noise isolation. This can be useful if you want private audio but still be able to hear if someone approaches you, for instance.
The design itself is not that bad. Definitely not high-end. The earpieces are a bit small and round, not very comfortable at first, but the headset itself is actually quite lightweight. After a short while it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it. The one thing that redeemed this to me was the responsiveness. Everything sounds very life-like and crisp, if a little bit colored. The highs don’t overwhelm what you hear, either, which is nice.
As my title suggests; you get what you pay for. That adage always annoyed me, but in this case it’s quite true.
Bottom line: Good for the money.

I own two of these Behringer boxes (they come in two modals) and use them with Sonor/cakewalk and an internal software sound modual (Roland Virtual sound Canvas) to play back midi files with my live two piece band. The sound through the PA (Soundcraft mixer and Mackie active speakers) is loud and very clear, in most cases, no eq needed. I guess it really revolves around your personal needs. For live performance these Behringer boxes are excellent and the price is a steal. I do not use it to record as my home recording is done on a stand alone DAW (Tascam 2488 24 track).
If you are a live musician or a DJ using something like Virtual DJ these boxes are a great way to eliminate low level hum from a laptop and give you a dramtically better sound than most internal laptop sound cards.
