U-Phoria UMC22 : Great for the price

This little audio interface is perfect for those who are just starting out in music or for someone who wants to upgrade their setup from a USB microphone.

The sound quality is excellent but the interface does introduce a fair bit of noise. Fantom power is a huge plus, it is capable of driving my condenser mic with ease. Having two inputs is also a brilliant feature, even though the second input is only an instrument input and doesn't support fantom power.

Latency is where this interface falls short. Even with a powerful PC, this interface introduces a significant amount of latency, too much for vocal tracking. There is a direct monitor button which lets you hear your microphone input directly with no latency, which is perfect for when you're on a voice call but there is no way of turning it up without turning up the master volume. If you want to monitor your vocals with effects? good luck. This might just be an ASIO4ALL issue and as far as I have found there are no alternative drivers for this interface.

All that being said, this is an extremely cheap interface and all my issues with it are purely nitpicks. I have recommended this interface to my friends who want to use it for streaming or online calls. You would be hard-pressed to find an interface this good for this price.
