I've been in the "89%" group since Behringer's first days and never even considered purchasing any of their products. Then last month our band played at a local restaurant that had Behringer 10" and 12" powered speakers that we had to use as floor monitors. When I saw them I just moaned and rolled my eyes, but once we fired them up they worked great and sounded great - very clear, some of the better-sounding floor monitors I've ever used. Our bass player and I were so impressed that we are now watching eBay auctions for these monitors.     

I owned a music store. I was very in tune to products that had a low price point, but would have too many returns to make any kind of profit from. Certain brands are just plain more dependable than others. Yamaha had a much lower profit margin, but nobody ever complained. Roland, Yorkville, Godin, Art and many others cost me more to deal with and lower profit margin, but in the long run my customers never had to bring stuff back because I was filtering out bad quality for them.So even though I'm sure there are lot's of B products being used without issues, they are not on my good list at this point in time.  

I have purchased a few B products because of the appealing price point. They all let me down. Funny the store i bought a powered speaker from was not surprised to see me return it. I traded it for a Mackie, all is good. I will never buy anything from them again as a result. The rep even replied to posting like this i made on gear slutz so they are very aware that they have failed to build a good rep. If i was them I would scrap the name and start over.

Entirely possible scenario, although more likely they'd start (or buy) a new brand under the umbrella corporation that owns Behringer now. That's been the usual route when a company wants to break into a new higher- or lower-end market. Good or bad, "Behringer" has broad name-recognition and they'd be foolish to throw that away. And they already have at least one respected brand in their portfolio (Midas) that they could market better-quality devices under.
 
 

I was surprised to see the X32 get so many raves, but then, I was even more surprised at the Midas deal. I look at this similar to when Hyundai and Kia first entered the US car market. Those cars weren't regarded as anything of quality early on, and for good reason. Later on they upped their game. Seriously entered into competition with Honda and Toyota ( who were also once in the same boat). Now those companies are serious competition. The flip side is that the cost has also gone up.
 
I see Behringer doing a similar thing. They are partnering with and buying companies with clout.This will likely lead to better products, not that they haven't had a few decent ones before that. The cost will go up with that quality. They might keep a low end line and offer a higher range like the X32 which is getting away from cheap toy territiory.
 
I still don't think I would buy an interface from them. At least not yet.

I've used the X32, great product.  You really impress folks when you're on stage with them mixing the monitors from an iPad, hearing exactly what they do.  
 
I still record through a passive Behringer mixer I've had for a good 15 years. It's only flaw is now the main fader is getting scratchy, but there's really no brand that would be immune to that eventually.

I've been fairly lucky with the few Behringer items I've bought.  I have some Truth monitors that have lasted quite a few years (they aren't my main ones but used for additional checks).  I've had a couple of cheap mixers that have worked fine (including a line mixer I still use).  I did have a v-amp that only lasted a couple of years, but it was cheap enough it wasn't a big deal to replace.  I think it's just a matter of luck.  A lot of people really like the ART stuff.  I had a ART MP Studio preamp that only lasted about a year before it died (once again really cheap so not a big deal). 

There are always products that will burn you depending on your experiences.  I hate Samson because of multiple dead products (I will NEVER support Samson's Zoom since they are ruining the location recording industry).   Art has failed on me twice.  I had 7 ultimate support stands and they all broke.  But oddly enough, I never had a problem with Behringer.  I had a small Eurorack mixer, a headphone amp, a composer pro, a crossover, a LDC microphone, and a reference monitor amplifier.  All of them still work great, and sound okay, even if I hardly use them.  
 
If you break open a Behringer product, they use decent quality parts and the same quality resistors, capacitors and transistors you will find in much higher end brands.  The build quality, however, is cheap and plastic.  You need to treat them like a Faberge Egg.

I was running the original Multicom & Multigate for many years before I moved to an ITB setup.
 
They performed as well as you could expect at that price point
 
I'm still running the original Powerplay headphone amp - it's really rather good and provides very flexible routing options
 
Another goodie is their Bass V-Amp rackmount box. It's not as versatile as, say a Pod, but it gets the job done
 
And that is my Behringer experience

I've had good luck with Behringer stuff.  I guess I'm in the 10% success group.  There are some things that I don't go cheap with, but the active DI boxes, small-format mixers, and 2 BCF 2000 controllers have been flawless.  For the most part, if I can get 2 or 3 years of use out of anything, I consider myself lucky.  Besides, by that time things are ready for an upgrade anyway.

I owned two very low-end Behringer mixers a few years ago and sold them to 'upgrade' to a Soundcraft Compact 10. The Soundcraft died less than two years after buying it, so now I use a Mackie. I did some digging around when my Compact 10 died and found that I wasn't the only one. And they all died the same way in the same time frame. Had it been a car, there would have been a recall notice.
 
FWIW, I have more faith in Behringer than in Soundcraft.
 
In two months, my Mackie board with be two years old; I guess I'm about to  see if it outlasts the Soundcraft.
