At this price, it's great to have in case anything goes wrong with your main interface. You'll be able to mix, and often you won't need more than two inputs anyway.
Makes my JBL studio monitors/subwoofer sound great on a PC

This is the best solution to get great sound with a pair of JBL LSR305s and JBL LSR310S on my PC. It makes them sound so good. Easy setup and connection.

I like the ability to minimize the gain when playing an instrument. The audio driver is intuitive and works well with the Ableton Lite software.
Went from 2i2 1st Gen to 3rd Gen. Wow.

This is a great leap forward for anyone who (like I) owns a First Generation 2i2. Sounds great, and the AIR option makes it sound even better. Smaller, better performance, USB C...what a great deal.
This Thing is Amazing!

Setup is very easy and straightforward, completely eliminated coil noise from my monitoring. Great for getting balanced outputs from a pc. Haven't got the chance to record with it yet.
Easy to use, intuitive knobs and buttons.

I'm using it only for vocals at this time. Sound quality is great and it's easy to use. It also arrived earlier than originally stated so that was a nice surprise.
Great product.

Got it to work with a Shure SM7B. I do not bother with the audio software that comes with it. I have enjoyed the tactile feel of adjusting the physical knobs to raise and lower the gain.
As good as advertised

This is a really solid device. I had a different microphone setup and every once in a while I would get funny behavior but with this device I've had consistent performance

Being that this is the third generation, so much has been learned and applied in this model. The tutorial videos are stunning, clear and helpful. Could not recommend this more highly.

The driver for this thing is horrible! Interface froze multiple times. And the headphone output is extremely low. Luckily for B&H returned/exchange policy I got a PreSonus AudioBox 22VSL USB Audio Interface and its working flawlessly. AudioBox 22VSL uses 24bits under Windows WDM as well. With Scarlett 2i2 it only allowed 16bits.
