Uphoria um2

[Dogsparky]

Has anyone had any experience with uphoria um2 at all? Since I am getting an XLR mic and need getting a new headset anyways I figured it would be a good starting point for that kind of set up. Relatively cheap.

For a very low entry point it's not bad. Everything depends on the content you intend to make and what production level you want it made to.

Not making any content just tired of relying on headsets with mics and my front headphone jack doesn't work, higher quality sound since i like to listen to music alot and such, so just getting a cheap XLR mic and new speakers sicne i don't currently have any. already figured out the headphones was just searching for an audio interface.

Depending on budget it may be worth looking at a usb mic, the Shure motiv series is quite good and then removes the need for an interface. Otherwise the um2 and the neewer nw-800 (or whatever other brand buys from the same factory) is the (personally hated) go to.

I would still need a place to be able to plug in my headphones.

Like qaulity isn't even a problem since i already really don't have too much of that to begin with. And the fact i can put an XLR mic on an arm, not sure if i can do that with the shure mics that i am looking at here, really helps with desk space. But the mic isn't going to be like 20 dollars or so, mostly something decent as the um2 is mainly just a starting point and a place i can actually plug in my headphones and have a better mic in general. then i don't have to worry about these cheap gaming headsets.
