Feature:
Some handy plugins with the factory bundle.
Quality:
No problems
Value:
Worth it!
Desirability:
Software has some personality, but hardware pretty dull - but that's not what it is about.
Sound:
The quality is good IMHO. I write for TV and have had no comebacks
Ease of Use:
Software is great for audio recording. The only major setback for me was automatic delay compensation - which makes the use of the UAE cards a bit cumbersome.
Support:
Good user forums but local support not good.
Overall:
I've had my MBox2 for over a year now and work on it almost every day. I've not had any snags with it and the quality has been more than good enough for my home project studio. Some people feel it should have been able to handle higher sample rates, but hey, higher sample rates is not the only quality issue. Stuff like mic's etc. are much more important, and the most important is the music you make.

Feature:
When recording in digital (via spdif) no problem but when u are playing, u can not hear the sound of what u play. There should be a monitor option for that. And USB 1.1 of course...It is old! But ProTools LE is top-end software I think. And very powerful.
Quality:
Switches and knobs could be better...They look a little chinese.
Value:
A little bit pricy.
Desirability:
It is the heart of my mobile music wokstation.
Sound:
It has nice pres. Used it for both vocal and instrument recordings, and the result was excellent. Without a preamp, the recorded sound didn't requir eq when mixing. Also a perfect sounding audio card when playing vsti or soft synths. It has high gain for outputs.
Ease of Use:
Very easy...That's all.
Support:
Very bad...Very bad...Very baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddd...I don't live in USA. And I've solved my problems by myself or with the forums via internet. But none of them with the support of digidesign.
Overall:
Happy with it.
