Default BEHRINGER EUROPORT MPA40BT-PRO experience?

i am considering this speaker to have as a battery powered speaker for small situations where i need to be able to sing and play my acoustic 7 string which goes as low as g below guitar e. i also loop the guitar and voice.
i am not expecting a huge sound but would like a decent representation of the bass quality of the guitar as well as good vocal reproduction.
anyone have experience with this?
i have tried many other battery options and most of them sound bad to my ears They most particulary don't sound good on the low notes.

I returned the one I bought. The volume and tone was good, but the one I purchased had a battery failure within the return period. I think it is worth taking a chance. I ended up buying a smallish AGM lead acid battery and a cheap modified sine wave inverter to run my Yamaha DBR10.

I didn't like the low frequency sound on my Roland Street Cube Ex until I replaced the stock speakers with Jensen Mod8-20-4 speakers as some people online are recommending. Now I like it a lot although It's not really loud enough to keep up with a drummer. It's great right up to that point though.

thank you jonfields and ikingston.
i am hoping and expecting the Behringer to put out a little more pleasing bass than the Samson Expedition i tried.
might wait to see if GC sends me a coupon soon

I have no experience with that model Behringer, but I do have a pair of much larger powered Behringer PA speakers that I've been using for a few years. We've used them literally hundreds of times - once a week for 5 years or so - and they have performed perfectly.

I own this exact model.'
The sound quality is just OK and I would rate it as just passable.It does hold its charge pretty well however.Bass is OK..I am quite fussy and my main gigging amp is an AER 60 Compact,so I am tainted by that sound quality...

Also has bluetooth so you can stream some music but that function is available at Costco for a lot less.

Try it out-you could always return it if not satisfied.If you are interested mine is available
