Wow, the stuff in the video is pretty bad. I don't have such a problem
with my G2. All I get is a little noise when they're idle, but you have
to be very close up to hear it, I think that's normal. RF problems
related to mobiles are also mentioned and I do get those, but I didn't
try to figure out whether those come from the cables or the monitors
themselves and the gearslutz posts don't make this clear either.
Because you mentioned Behringer, a friend of mine recently tested
some small Behringer against Adam 3 something and said he didn't hear
much difference but went with the much more expensive Adam nevertheless.
Anyway, this is pretty anecdotal, it's best to listen for oneself if
possible.
If you need bass, the KRK RP5 might be better suited, they are bass
heavy. Can't really judge their overall quality.
A friend of mine had those, they seem badly built. This youtube video
shows what happens those monitors after some time:

Note that's not the guy I know on the video, its not that my mate dropped
them or mistreated them. A quick google of "krk rp5 buzz" or the likes
returns plenty of results to discourage me to buy KRK...
I'd go with behringer before them anyday, -Harry
