I have not used this before but might be using it this coming weekend. Any comments? I usually use a Vestax VMC-004.
How is this mixer otherwise?

Well, it has 2 band eq (hi and bass), the bpm counters don't work. I don't own one but I've used it a little bit. If it had 3 band eq it would be decent for a small party.

No offence meant but would everone get the message :

BEHRINGER PRODUCTS ARE TURD

They sound crap, their functions really don't work, they wear out much faster than other brands and they always break.
The only good thing about them is they are dirt cheap and look nice when set on fire

Vestax are in a different league.

You can't compare Behringer with brands like Vestax, Pioneer, Denon, A&H, but they do good mixers for their price range. Look at the VMX200 and VMX300. Preaty much the best mixers in their price range.

I disagree with this actually. They've got a lot of features, but if you get a Numark mixer of the same price it'll last twice as long and sound reasonable, would make a good spare mixer if you decide to upgrade as well, where as the chances are with the Behringer when you upgrade instead of it just being to improve your setup, it'll be cos your mixer's just broken.

Not really true...my roommate had a vmx300, it was solid. And the sound quality was good for the price. And we were using it for a few years without having to replace anything. Now the DJX700....that is a piece of shit, I've attempted to use it for a little while, and it actually made me angry that companies can put out stuff like that...

So I think it depends on the specific product.

I know someone who had a VMX-300 on which the master output died within a year, so I suppose it depends on the luck of the draw... although I think with Behringer you tend to be kind of weighting the odds against yourself

+1000, UWSP just got burned BAD with some Behringer equipment... about $5000 in large mixing boards, monitors etc. All pretty much ended up being garbage and worthless...

Another DJ in town here uses the VMX300 and is essentially relegated to fader mixing because the EQ's are so non-responsive...

Buying Behringer equipment is like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun... it's not going to end well...
