    • Very clean and open sound.
    • The best part is the sound was great.
    • The noise I was hearing when no sound was going is gone, and audio sounds a lot cleaner
    • In any case, this Behringer device allows me to use USB to bypass the headphone jack, so all I get is nice, clean sound for my headphones
    • Also, the sound volume is not so bad for typical low ohm headphone like MDR-V6.I will use this device to record music from my PC to my tape deck - I like the sound of tape
    • I was needing a USB sound card/interface to run karaoke from a laptop and was looking at devices (M-Audio, Soundblaster, etc) costing a hundred dollars or more to connect the computer to a mixer or receiver, and while I don't have any direct experience with those devices, the reviews I've read of the Behringer UCA202 on different karaoke forums convinced me that you don't need to spend $100+ to get good sound out of your computer.
    • I have an AIO (All In One) computer that I use a lot, including recording and watching TV and the sound is just plain terrible
    • The sound was always a pain since it's in the back of the machine and hard to reach

    • If you do karaoke or blast your music from a cheap computer sound card, this is the most economical way to take it straight from the USB bus.

    • Then the sound of toms... some of them (Evans - especially) are pure incorrect
    • Is the best usb sound card, because with Asio drivers can scratch in virtual dj, deckadance, with a time code vinil, Very cool
    • In short, the UCA202 was easy to install, works as advertised, and offers good sound for my purposes
    • Now I have to find a better one that has little to no latency and won't distort the sound
    • It had more limited sample rates than my onboard, it didn't support surround sound out of the spdif
