Review: Price check. - If youre looking for a interface this is the one you want. It's a straight plug and play. Works fantastic on every DAW I've ran it through. And it's amazing with phones. Nice clear sound. USB port is good. Though if you're gunna use it on your phone I would recommend purchasing a USB adapter that has a tip for your phone. They're like $5 on desertcart for a packet of them. It connects automatically. Haven't had any interference from outside noises. Produces clear sound the way it's meant to be heard. Works with music apps like bandlab and other generic DAWS app you may have on your phone. Though I can't blame desertcart or it's seller on price. I however find it cheaper somewhere else..after the fact. But the item itself is amazing. Worth it.
Review: Excellent product but shipped like a brick - Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB - I love it. I am using a long line of multiple 2i2 devices from Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3 for years. I am happy with all of them. Very good built quality, plain, low noise, low distortion. They all meet manufacturer specifications. No inflated claims like some manufacturers do. Each model had some tiny glitches that did not affect my experience. So my expectations are high on 4th Gen. A box arrived quickly. I opened it and realized a box has no protecting layer to soften shocks, blows during transportation. Just over box inside of almost identical, only slightly larger box! This experience was not a good welcome to me. I believe such packaging of any electronics reduces product reliability. Didn't you see how sometimes drivers drop packages on concrete floor? So I almost feel like getting used product, am I too sensitive about it? Alone in my opinion such product should have some shock absorbing layer of foam material or air bubbles sheet? After opening a box I see a piece of paper printed with miniature characters. Microscope could help... But no guidance here how to get the first steps. Only warnings in very many languages. As I would need all this, very high priority to manufacturer but not to me! I think this excellent product has new functions that a purchaser is not familiar with. It would be highly beneficial if a a small hard card size like 2-3 business cards shows briefly what happens when each of new controls used. OK, I can find it in pdf user manual, but I don't want to print user manual for one of 15 models audio interfaces I have. So I will work with audio recordings while scrolling through pdf file, at least till I am familiar with all this product offers. After such observations I wish to get to recording... And pdf file does not tell clearly up front that utility program is actually a driver. I have to spend time to learn it. This is the very first item to perform after purchase, but info is written among other content, not up front. I want to install utility program but no info provided if 2i2 Gen 4 should be connected or not, during installation. I learn here I should go to the internet, manufacturer' webpage and get information how to proceed. A suggestion is strong - identify yourself first! So you can get audio recording software. But I don't use the internet on sacred computers. I don't wish to be exposed to Spyware and threats from Microsoft like this one: You paid for our Office Suite, but we make it stop at our convenience under pretense we check if you are the correct user???? So I will to install a driver only, no suspicious activities and forced "updates", no spyware on my precious computer. How do I proceed considering above? I loaded needed file on another computer, copied it to one working with 2i2 Gen 4. It works fine that way. The utility is just sampling rate changing program combined with a driver, at least on my computer. Nothing else. A device works well, nothing wrong. I enjoy it from that moment. I don't need extra programs for musicians. Now most enjoyable part - distortion and noise testing. Both are excellent low, exactly as shown on specifications. I really enjoy low noise that is closer now to that of higher grade Clarett+ noise. Regarding distortion, Clarett+ has specs about 0.0003% while Scarlett 2i2 spec is around 0.001% for all generations 1, 2, 3, 4. Truly excellent product here, amazing performance for $200 and this product is far ahead of other USB audio interfaces I used before. Important to me is the fact it can work with no AC/DC power adapter. Through my career I experienced scenarios that noise reading was lowest if USB audio device was powered through USB cable. Then noise reading was even slightly better if power supply disconnected from laptop. The noise reading was consistently worse if given USB audio interface AND laptop used both AC/DC adapters. The difference could be a few dB but sometimes noise spikes were 10dB and more above noise floor, depending how clean was power line, individual wall outlets. I will check later 2i2 Gen 4 on that noise immunity and will update my review. In terms of reliability, all earlier Scarlett 2i2 I used full time worked a minimum of 5 years. If something wrong happened, it would be in the "abuse" category like frequent plugging, unplugging in, out cables with ESD damage maybe. Or connecting to multiple other devices powered with AC/DC adapters and no isolating transformers between. I am a laboratory user, not a musician, so different considerations, scenarios. Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 is a great tool now for my audio experiments, audio test fixtures, audio signal measuring / analyzing setups. 5 stars, but no 5+ due to less perfect packaging with less perfect protection against abuse in transit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect audio companion for Content Creators
*by R***U on August 7, 2025*

I have two of these now wired into each other so that I can 2 people on individual cameras and mics at the same time, and these work amazingly well. It replaced my Tascam 4x4, which was a good audio interface, but anyone I was recording with had to deal with the lag of our own voices coming through on each other's headsets. Not so with the Scarlett! Getting to hear the person I'm recording with on my headset as they're talking rather than even a millisecond later has had a major impact on my recording quality, and the number of times I have to edit out someone going, "What?" The Asio channels means I record every input to its own track and have full editing capabilities of that person's audio without messing with my own. And something that is worth more than I realized it would be are the virtual audio channels in this device. I can route specific audio channels from my PC to my headphones without requiring them to be outputted to a specific channel, and I can even run inputs into my DAW, use live compressors or other VSTs and output them back to the virtual channels so I can use noise reduction and filters on live audio during streams! And all that hasn't even gotten into their midi capabilities! The software has a slight learning curve to figure out how to route audio through it, but it's really intuitive if you take a little time to play with the options. I also just love the design, quality build with red boxes on my desks, and physical volume knobs for my inputs and headsets is terrific. The one warning I have to give, because it threw me off at first, is that only two input channels use XLR. The other two inputs on the back use 1/4" balanced TRS cables. The Scarlett will still work fine with unbalanced TS cables, but the sound quality between my two Scarletts had noticeably less noise when I upgraded them to TRS cables. Definitely I'm glad I made this upgrade, it was well worth the price, and I recommend the Scarlett to anyone who wants to take a step up in podcast audio or music creation.
