Feature:
Does *exactly* what it says on the tin. Its not the very latest in technology, and certainly not fun to use... but then again it is not designed to be. It is practical and does exactly what it needs to do, and it does it well. On the bonus side, it does have optical out which is very nice to see.

Quality:
Its a small plastic box. It feels quite plastic and lightweight, something a little more weighted is always nice. The silver is not appealing, black would have felt more professional. Despite this, as I have said it is meant to be practical, not sexy. It feels reasonably tough though, I would have no problems using it on-the-go daily!

Value:
Great value, Its most certainly worth £20... although I can't say that I would pay much more.

Desirability:
Its not sexy, however it is designed to do a job... A job which it does well. Put it this way, I wanted it therefore I brought it. I didn't buy it because it looks cool or it has the latest technology.

Sound:
It obviously does nothing in the way of processing effects etc, nor has any noise canceling, so there is no sound improvement. I have had no troubles with sound quality whatsoever with this, and being an audiophile that says a lot about the product. Overall, very good.

Ease of Use:
Its as simple as plugging it in and playing. No problems at all, although I did manage to roll back the drivers... which resulted in needing to reinstall the drivers (there *are* drivers available from the Behringer site) which led to being unable to use it temporarily - I just rebooted and everything was fine again.

Support:
The Behringer site gives all the information required, and really there is not enough features to fail! In most cases (in fact practically all cases) the problem is the fault of the user! Read the manual, notices and FAQs!

Overall:
Does exactly what It claims to do, no more than that! On the bonus side, you gain access to a bunch of software from Behringer upon purchase!

Feature:
The headphone line out is not loud enough to do anything with.

Quality:
Made extremely cheaply, like all Behringer products, but some of Behringer products actually do a decent job

Value:
Waste of $30.00

Desirability:
A small unit like this would be great if it was not so noisy.

Sound:
This thing is noisy. Just moving it around makes noise like a live mike.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and it works

Support:
I'm not going to bother to call.

Overall:
This thing is useless for anyone who cares about pro audio.

Feature:
Everything you need to digitze audio, except the software. I use Audacity, which is free, to create the digital recording.

Quality:
A plastic box the size of a deck of cards. Has not given me any trouble.

Value:
For less than $30, this is too good a deal. Nothing even comes close.

Desirability:
Very practical, not sexy.

Sound:
Sounds as good as the tapes that it is digitizing......Very Good

Ease of Use:
You plug it in and it works. (using Windows2000 Pro)

Support:
Has not needed any yet. But there is info (manual) on their website.

Overall:
Highly recommend.

Feature:
I really wish it had a 1/4 inch input rather than the RCA inputs. Other than that it's pretty easy to use.

Quality:
Pretty reliable. I am on the road with it twice a week and haven't had a problem yet.

Value:
Great value priced entry with great quality.

Desirability:
Ehh...not really nice looking but who needs that.

Sound:
The sound is a HUGE upgrade to the line input recording I was doing. I record using Audacity and it worked great.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play

Support:
Did not deal with customer support

Feature:
There really are no features for this thing, just plug it in and start recording.

Sound:
Just wanted to update you guys that are thinking of buying this, it works great so far and It work with Vista 64 bit OS! i just plugged it in and thought oh no, theres an annoying static in the music playback. I may a few adjustments to the latency, restarted my syste and the static is completly gone an dthis sounds just as good as my HIGH DOLLAR Maya Audio card that was a few hundred bucks but is not compatable with vista 64! If your thinkabout buying this an dyou have Vista or Vista 64 BUY IT! It works great!

Ease of Use:
This was very easy to use.

Support:
Behringer was helpful with support and friendly but had not tested this device with Vista or Vista 64.

simple and it works. that's good.

Quality:
for the price, it's a well made. feels good.

Value:
good price.

Desirability:
for the kind of very good music sound i want yes.

Sound:
don't know if i should give it a 10. sounds very good. i listen through Behringer Truth B2031A active studio monitors and the sound is really nice.

Ease of Use:
well, ... it's pretty simple.

Support:
i'm assuming...

Overall:
very good interface. simple. windows xp recognizes it automatically, and it overrides other audio out, which was my case.

Feature:
The features are perfect for getting stereo audio into your laptop (or desktop) via the USB port. Also, it allows me to hear playback from my sequencer on the laptop (via USB in, RCA out to amp) while at the same time allowing me to hear the synth I'm playing (via RCA out to amp), so behaves in a similar way to live mixing, although crude. I couldn't detect any latency at all.

Quality:
Plastic, but solid feel, fine for the price.

Value:
I paid AU$60 new. Good value product for what it does.

Desirability:
I had to have it for my setup. A practical way to get audio via USB into laptops and desktop pc's.

Sound:
This product gave me a clearer, better quality sound than my laptop's audio did. Allows me to record from external audio sources in high quality stereo, with minimal noise (-32db and better).

Ease of Use:
Let the PC boot up completely, then plug in the device and XP will detect it and add it as a human interface device (just like a USB mouse), no need for additional drivers. Just plug the L/R RCA OUT to your amp, mixer, hi fi, or tape machine and the USB to your laptop. You can use an audio switch box with this device to switch between audio inputs if you don't have a mixer.

Support:
Have not used support yet, but their website gave a reasonable description and contact info.

Overall:
This product is a permanent, integral part of my home studio setup, and will be used for the long term.

Feature:
has no features, but it is not supposed to many have said here "has no drivers". well, it actually uses the microsoft usb drivers that come with windows. this is NOT the way to go for people looking to do software instruments, for that you need asio drivers. comes with no software

Quality:
seems ok

Value:
nice and cheap

Desirability:
this is great for laptops with crappy sound i/o builtin and you want something cheap

Sound:
sound is just fine

Ease of Use:
plug it in, duh

Overall:
great to replace laptop i/o no midi but you are stuck with windows drivers - too much latency for software instruments with midi

Feature:
It doesn't have any features; its a box.

Quality:
It's solid as a rock, and lighter than one, too!

Value:
This does what I could've spent a ton of money on. I am finishing up my second CD using this thing! Awesome!

Desirability:
It's a square box with a tail; how sexy is that?

Sound:
I could probably get better sound for a few hundred bucks! It eliminated all the ambient noise I was dealing with.

Ease of Use:
It would have been easier if I didn't have to find out THAT IT DOES NEED A DRIVER!! That information (and software) would have been useful. (Go to the Behringer website, it's all there right next to where it says "No drivers needed.")

Support:
Again, driver info.

Overall:
I hooked up a small 8 channel sound board to it and record using Adobe Audition. It is an incredidible value. Very, very happy!

Feature:
does what it does and does it well. i'd prefer it was a 4X4 but that's asking too much. i'd like to be able to separate the volumes for in and out(wait, in never changes does it? *slaps self). i will find out later

Quality:
solid product, don't care about it being plastic i'm not a child i know how to treat things. though the top sticker peeled a bit i might have done that thinking i'd paint it i don't know

Value:
30 bucks barely gets me a single shoe. my last one got an ant colony inside it and replacing isn't a problem

Desirability:
looks ugly, but anything not wearing a bikini is ugly to me.

Sound:
crystal clear, just had to lower it a bit

Ease of Use:
plug and play got me?

Support:
never had to use it, for any of their products. speaks for itself

Overall:
suits my initial needs to a T, windows linux mac it was useful for anything. as far as i can tell this thing is in it's own category: disposable(practicaly) soundcard

Quality:
It's a Behringer so it's well-built. It does what it does consistently, just not up to a high standard.

Value:
It is cheaper than most items that promise to do the same thing, and therefore is a reasonable bargain. Aside from the hum, or perhaps I should say in addition to it, it delivers great sound.

Sound:
For some reason, it sounds find on the USB1.1 ports on my desktop, but when used on either USB2.0 port on my laptop, it sends an annoying hum that is above 60Hz and therefore can't be eliminated with your usual rumble filter. It didn't cost much but I wasn't expecting such a problem, especially considering the D-A SNR was listed as being >89dB! I was planning on using this for mobile recording, but now it's relegated to emergency duty.

Ease of Use:
A chimpanzee and an intern could figure this thing out. :-)

Overall:
I am already searching for another product to do what this one does -- but without hum in a USB2.0 port.

Feature:
Theoretically, it has the features one needs.

Quality:
It would have a qualty score if it actually sent audio into the computer for recording.

Value:
Biggest mistake of a purchase in my life.

Desirability:
Giving it a 5 because cosmetically and ideally, it has the appeal. In implemenation however, it fails completely.

Sound:
Absolutely atrocious sound. While the signal maintains harmonic integriy, my immediate gripe is a signal flow issue. The RCA leads aren't properly grounded, resulting in signal interference and noise modulation... attempted with multiple RCA cables to no avail. I would rather haul my turntables and mixer inconveniently across the country to a ProTools box instead of using this.

Ease of Use:
I managed to plug in all the cables. As for getting results? None.

Support:
Contacted Behringer...support was helpful, it failed the resolve the "no-input onto the computer system" issue.
