These sometimes feel a little loose but the quality is pretty good.

These sometimes feel a little loose but the quality is pretty good. They don't always sound quite as good as my Sennheiser's but they still do the job

Love these headphones. Only thing I don't like is that they can get uncomfortable in extremely long sessions

Love these headphones. Only thing I don't like is that they can get uncomfortable in extremely long sessions and I really do mean extremely long. I don't notice this in regular sessions and love how well they cup to my head and cover my ears.

Just meh. Not very clear but does have that ribbon sound

Just meh. Not very clear but does have that ribbon sound. Only thing about it is that since it's a ribbon (and low quality at that) there can be room for variation in build even if the manufacturing process was very tight.

a crap ribbon will soon part one from his money, the transformer quality is a big deal, it can be upgraded... lots of great affordable ribbons, check out cascade's fat head 2

Honestly not that bad, but I only bought this because it came as a bundle option for the Focusrite 18i20 and I knew that it could be modded with a Neumann U87 clone kit

Honestly not that bad, but I only bought this because it came as a bundle option for the Focusrite 18i20 and I knew that it could be modded with a Neumann U87 clone kit. It was either pay the regular price for just the Focusrite 18i20 or pay the regular price and also get the mic bundle and an extra pair of headphones.

headphones? bah!

Solid studio monitors. Only complaint I have is that they are the tiniest bit heavy on the low end

Solid studio monitors. Only complaint I have is that they are a tiny bit strong on the low end. This initially made my tracks slightly weak on the low end, but once I added the KRK 10S to my setup the built in crossover from the 10S completely removed that boost on the low end.

crtain range of hyped bass is the krk thing, not my favorite... makes for thin mixes

Was great at first and the USB hub is super convenient but the preamps are mediocre and various functions have stopped working or worked inconsistently over time

Like the summary says, I loved this interface at first but the longer I owned it the less I liked it. The first thing I noticed I didn't like was that the latency wasn't very good. Especially so when you have a lot of devices plugged into the USB hub since it's only USB 1.0. This would probably be remedied if they had released it with USB 3.0 but even 2.0 would be a big step up. Different functions of my interface started acting wonky or inconsistent after owning it for a long while before completely ceasing to work at all. Some examples of this would be various input channels failing on either of the inputs available with the combo jack. This means that on one channel it would be the quarter inch input that quit working and on another it would be the XLR input instead.
