Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 3rd Gen Reviews

Value for the money.

Incredible what you get for the money in the 2i2 studio 3rd gen package. It is working fine and has a good sound quality.

It has only one drawback. The interface can not work as a stand alone preamplifier, but has to be connected to a PC all the time. Can not work with a wall plug power supply as power source. The power source has to be a computer.

Perfect deal with lots of software !

Bought it to travel with me, just an amazing package. Full of software, perfect microphone and very good sound quality from the interface.

dieses Sound Interfaces funktioniert nicht stabil, manchmal muss ich es aus- und wieder einschalten,

das mikrofon ist auch nicht sehr gut

Andererseits ist der Preis nicht zu hoch und ich habe keine Erfahrung mit anderen Soundkarten

good products for new players.

Very Good Interface

This is my first professional audio interface and I must say I am very happy with the choice I made.

Good choice, beats competitors

Good quality, works form the get-go, nice plug-and-play setup.

Great quality

I already had an Scarlett 2i2 so I knew it was going to be good. What I did not expect was the quality of the rest of the bundle, specially the headphones

Fantastic Pack

You cannot fault it, at this price point.

The interface fidelity is extremely good.

Very good headphones.

Excellent mic quality.

Overall fantastic pack for the price to start recording your music.

Top Value for money kit

Sound quality is superb and the price makes it a must-have and the best budget choice for those new to home recording!

Been recording guitar and vocals for the past year without a single problem or noise.

The AIR function is also amazing for when miccing amps or recording vocals!

Good bit of kit

A lot of bang for your buck. Software is pretty good for getting started too

Excellent for any begginer!

This kit has everything you need to get started for your recording journey!

Every single piece in this bundle is well made, sturdy and you can really see and feel the quallity.

The sound is great, the led halos really come in handy, the mic and the headphones' quallity were well beyond my expectation and overall it's a bargain.

The only thing that could be a bit better is the headphone amp.

In my opinion Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio is a great value for money recording set.

Amazing interface for beginners and intermediate levels

This interface works perfectly fine for recording both voice and instruments. It has nice features and is built like a tank!

The only con of the interface is that I cannot set the headphone volume independently for the incoming signal from the computer and the input instrument/vocal signal, but I guess that, for this price, I shouldn't expect anything like it.

The microphone sounds really nice and has a good build as well. The headset is also good, but I feel that the build quality is not so good and it hurts my ears after some time using it (on ear).

Excellent package for the price

The interface is well known for being among the best budget interfaces for the money. I cannot yet comment on the "air" feature as I have not used the mic for anything beyond conference calls and test recordings which sounded crisp, clean, and fairly balanced. The mic could definitely use a pop filter though (I am using a t.bone MS60 & SSM6 on a flexible mount which work perfectly with this mic).

My only real gripe about this package is that the headset is an on-ear VS an over-ear set which would be a lot more comfortable for longer hours of use. I cannot stand keeping the headphones on for longer than 20 min stretches as my ears get really painful. I am going to try different types of earpads to see if a conversion to over-ear is possible simply by changing the earpads. Otherwise, this is an extremely versatile and solid package.

Another major improvement over my old 2nd gen Scarlett Solo is the balanced output feature. I could hear a lot of PC and EMI noise from my old Solo which is now completely eliminated with the balanced output.

Happy camper!

Since a couple of months ago I started recording electric guitar in my computer, which I do using my amp that I can connect to my computer. But I was looking a solution to record acoustic instruments. I wasn't sure of buying the interface, mic and headphones separately, but after making some research and reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this Focusrite bundle. Since I am just a beginner I thought this was the best option to start. I must say that I am very happy with my purchase! all items are very well made. Both the mic and the headphones work fantastic. I Think this is ideal for those like me that are just starting to experimenting in home recording, although I think more experienced users would be surprised too about the recording quality. I highly recommend it! You won't regret buying it!

Good kit

Very nice piece of kit, good value for the package. the headphones are nothing to write home about, and pretty uncomfortable. APart from that, the focusrite is nice.

The software that it comes with is servicable, but nothing special. don't buy it for the software

Excellent product

Of course I am not the one who discovers it for the first time but great purchase of a good quality product.

Great all around!

Brilliant! Used it for live streaming, recording, conference calls! The package it comes with is brilliant Best money I have spent in ages!

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 3rd Gen

Awesome quality Studio Box.

Went Scarlett and never looked back

This audio interface is so easy to use and honestly sounds great with a good response time and clear signal. It looks good, feels good, and sounds good.

I was skeptical to opt for the set, including the microphone as I thought it would be average quality and kind of saw it as a freebie - WOW I was wrong! This mic is better than my Shure SM58 and SM57 for vocals by a long stretch - less bass frequencies captured than my Shures which is actually perfect as I found I was having to constantly cut a lot of lows out of my EQs when recording vocals whereas this mic gives you a pretty solid and even mix of everything.

The headphones are pretty decent and look great, not the best in the world but definitely amazing value and very useful to have in the studio as an extra pair! (Definitely good enough to use as a primary pair for mixing, I just prefer some other brands for personal taste..)

Value: 10/10

Experience: 9/10

Looks: 10/10

I've been using this setup to edit some podcasts from work since I've been working from home for a bit due to the pandemic status. I haven't explored much about the possibilities of this bundle but so far I have no complaints
