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.
