Focusrite does it right! Kit is worth the cable - the headphones are trash

Focusrite Scarlett series stuff is incredibly good. Always has been. Especially for the hobbyist & semi-pro markets and home studios. I love mine! I bought this kit because it was exactly $.01 more expensive that just the interface by itself which means I basically got a free XLR cable which is super legit. The headphones are trash. I gave them to my 4 yr old daughter to use. They're not good headphones to try and make good audio recordings out of. They're just not. They're pretty much good for backup monitors for your recording vocalist to hear her/himself singing. Not for mixing!

Wow. really nice product

I bought this product during a sale from Adorama. The sound quality is great. When I say no latency, I mean no latency. I was using M-Audio mobile pre usb and this Focusrite scarlett 6i6 2nd gen has been a major upgrade from it. The package came with an activation code inside the box that lets you get free plugins. I had chosen to get the Addictive Keys (studio Piano). Be sure to get the 2nd gen (not the 1st gen). 2nd Gen is much faster.

Scarlett 6i6 2G Rocks!

Great-sounding unit, awesome plugins. My win10 system had "issues" - focusrite tech support talked and chatted me through, sent me a new driver, went the extra mile...

This title red gem from Focusrite is an excellent choice for aspiring musicians

Great audio interface for the price and sounds excellent with very low latency. This will take your audio recording and mixing to the next level when paired with good studio headphones and monitors. I love the color and the metal case feels rock solid. Setup was real easy and easy to get started with my DAW. It's the perfect product for a home musician or professional that wants great quality audio recording.

New super-low latency (Super-low roundtrip latency was measured at 2.74ms, working at 96kHz with a 32 samples buffer on Logic Pro X, running on a Mac Pro and OS 10.11) will bring confidence to your performance, letting you record and monitor with software effects in real time. New metal gain controls and a sleeker red metal chassis reassure you of its improved industrial design, built to go anywhere.

The Scarlett range also now operates at sample rates all the way up to 192kHz and the input channels have evolved too. The latest Scarlett mic preamp features a more even gain structure, so you can accurately set your levels and the instrument input has also been completely redesigned so it can handle seriously hot guitar pick-ups. Finally, Focusrite have provided analogue protection circuitry across both the inputs and the outputs, to guard your interface against unwanted power surges.
