Tank
This thing is built like one. Steel toecapped boots recommeded when using. Dropping it on your foot will do serious damage. It has a great quality keyboard and the overall built quality is great - sliders are good.
I dont really understand why a mic cable socket is used for one of the two audio outputs when most behringer gear comes with jack plug sockets.
The mono klark teknik effects are ok but not stunning.
Those are the only two slight negatives for me. Other than that its all very good and highly recommended. Its probably the best of all the behringer reissues so far in my opinion.

Superb synth, beautiful analog sound!
I cannot say whether this is an exact replica of an ARP Odyssey as I have never owned one, but going on comparison reviews I watched prior to purchasing I believe its is extremely faithful.
For my part, having owned this synth for a year now, I can only recommend it. I love this piece of gear! It sounds lovely, it has great tactile controls (thank ARP I guess for that design), it is well built (actually it is built like a tank, heavy and solid). I use it on everything now, and even though I own a few synths, I think it could be my favourite!
As for pros and cons - pros are above, cons, I would say you need some space for this synth and a decent solid base for it, as it is heavy, but other than that, can't fault it!

Excellent
Behringer has quirks but its no different than when buying a vintage synth. I say go for it . Amazing synth for the price.

Phenomenal clone and more
I have always wanted an ARP Odyssey, but prices of vintage instruments are sky high. Two options were in top of my list. Korg Full size Odyssey and Behringer's Odyssey as much more cost effective option. I went for Behringer Odyssey and am very satisfied with purchase.
Pros:
- Built like a tank,
- full sized,
- built-in sequencer,
- reasonably good keys (excellent for the price!).
Cons:
- reasonably good keys,
- really short cable on external power supply,
- would prefer a built-in power supply myself, but, that's just me :-)
All in all excellent clone, offering hours and hours of great fun!

Amazingly good!
I own an Arp Odyssey, wanted another one, didn't want to break the bank and decided to give a chance to this version.
All I can say... It sounds and feel wonderful!
Don't know how the made it but this is a killer instrument.
BUT! Don't get fooled that this is an Odyssey. Sounds like Odyssey but it's not. It's a different instrument from another brand with a slightly different sound.
Anyways, should you bother? Absolutely!
The only think I don't really like is the sequencer and the feel the buttons have. I rarely use it though, so not a big problem.
Get it, add some fx, get lost in space. Whiououou!

Great analog monosynth
I love everything about it, from the quality of the materials to the sound, it is fun to play and great to record, but Behringer made the wrong decision to give it a mono audio output after adding digital effects ... chorus, delay and reverb need stereo outputs.

Big sound in a small box!
I love my Behringer Odyssey, the Low pass filter gets DEEP, and the twin oscillators can get thick and bassey or glassy smooth.
the sequencer is absolutely fantastic! but it can be confusing at times as there is no guide on how to work it
the construction of the body is extremely well built, ive taken it to band practice and it survived being dropped like twice

Odyssey
Very pleased with the Behringer Odyssey.
Ive always wanted an ARP Odyssey & love its tones on many 70s & 80s albums & this version holds up nicely, though its early days yet, only had it a week, but I love it.
I wanted the Korg reissue, because it has ARP screenprinted on it & didnt want the sequencer or effects on this, but I wanted the full size keyboard version & the Korg is rare & 3 times more expensive. So Im happy with this one despite its added effects which I dont like much for my usage except for the 'echo', which is nice .They can be bypassed anyway.. It is an Odyssey & sounds like it

Best synth
Cant believe the sound this machine provides. Best value for money. Arp and sequencer not that great though, also most fx suck since it has only one mono output. But the sound omg!!!
