Good value though research ASIO compatibility if needed
For this price you can’t be too picky. I wanted to make my laptop into a scratch recorder to demo song ideas while on summer vacation and I didn’t want to take my expensive UA interface to the beach. This fit the bill. Trick is, they have you download a freeware ASIO driver from a third party as their answer to low latency setup, and this may or may not work for you and your configuration. I had some issues with latency that required some tweaking to get something close to low latency. Would recommend reading some other reviews online about others’ experiences if this matters for your application. I use this thing now only for playback of multitracks on an older PC and it does that like a champ. So a great piece for like $40, but beware if ultra low latency multitracking is critical for you. This might work really great for things like making a laptop guitar rig with VSTs, though I haven’t tried that. Maybe there is some hack I missed that others know. But again, considering this was 1/20th the price of my other interface, it worked pretty darn well with decent sound.

It’s a Deal!
I am a music producer and when my Komplete interface started giving me trouble I needed something cheap to get me by. To be honest this isn’t bad at all. There aren’t too many features but it can do what I need and it does it without making a noticeable noise or giving me any trouble. I would like it to have separate volume controls for main out and headphones. For this price it’s a deal!

does what it needs to do, slight hiss on max volume but u dont need it that loud
personally i love it does what I need to do, however there is a hiss on max volume. and that hiss chops out sometimes, however amazing voice quality tho to boost your microphone.

Not a good fit for me
I'm giving this device a two star rating only because it was not good for what I needed. I used it to record stereo tracks into my laptop and into my DAW. The quality of the recording was not good at all. It may work well for instruments, but for pre-recorded tracks (to be used for practice or reference), there was no low end (bass) and it sounded wobbly. Besides these concerns, it would have been perfect as a compact and easy to use interface. I may have to buckle down and get a Focusrite unit. I was really hoping this would've a good fit.

It's alright. But quite noisy...
I wanted a cheap second AI to bring around when I travel. Sound is pretty clear, a lot of noise as compared to my Scarlet Focusrite. A lot of my issues will simply be based upon the comparison to the Scarlet, which is more than 3 times the price, so take that into consideration. My reason for the 3 star is mainly to do with the knobs. I am using this for guitar plugins, so perhaps that is my main fault. The Gain knob is practically unresponsive until its at about 12 o'clock, this yields a normal guitar sound, anything below is just a fizzy weak mess. But at 12 is when a loud annoying buzz is introduced. Anything upwards of 12 is quite fat and muffly. So there is about 10 degrees of turning to work with. Perhaps if you are using this for vocals this would be a different story. The monitor knob also controls the headphone volume of playback. So again for guitar, I constantly have my direct sound along side my returning amp sound. Just a bit inconvenient, especially if I'm really digging into the strings, I get half chug and half floppy clean string. More expensive interfaces usually have a switch to turn on self-monitoring, so maybe I should have come to that conclusion before the purchase. I really don't think I can recommend this except for the price and the size. Takes up almost no real estate on the desk and is super light. So light you'll definitely want to use some sort of adhesive to stick it where you want otherwise it will slide all over the place.

Works great!
Perfect bridge from my Fredenstein Bento Box (XLR) to my MacBook (USB-C)…
