I picked up mine for around 60 USD a couple of years ago. It's a decent little MIDI controller with ample control surfaces. I get the most usage out of the potentiometer knobs. No velocity sensitivity and the keys feel cheap to depress. The buttons are also cheap feeling, like the Novation Launchpad 1st gen. Overall, it is versatile—I'll give it that—but it leaves much to be desired.

It perfectly fits the roles of a mic interface and a DAC. Drives higher-impedance headphones well and has enough inputs for my uses.

I do voiceover work, so I needed something industry-standard that could complement my vocal tonality. Doesn't even need a plosive filter, as it comes with a secondary, large windscreen that effortlessly prevents popping. Nice frequency response curve that does well for deeper voices and vocal performance.

It does what it needs to do without introducing audible noise.

Easily supports my SM7-B and a pair of headphones. Clamps to the desk easily. Built like a tank.

I've owned my pair since 2012. Eight years, so far, and they sound wonderful. Slightly V-shaped sound signature, which is well and good for open-backed cans. Some people don't like the near-sibilance of these, but I find it addicting. Worth the money I paid for them times ten.
