Hiya, I'm about to upgrade my studio equipment!
I have a very cheap (s#it) £30 Behringer 302 USB interface and a PG58 mic (My old AKG headphones aren't working anymore, so I got to change them..).
I was seriously considering buying the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Bundle, which comes with the 2i2 USB interface, a mic (CM25) and headphones (HP60), both exclusive this bundle and said to be "studio quality".
I can get this bundle 'round here for £200.
My question is: Has anyone ever tried/tested the mic and headphones that comes with this bundle? Any comparison with other brands and models?
I don't know if I should buy the interface only (£120) and buy another pair of headphones like the ATH M40fs for around £70 + a condenser mic for around the same price, or even keep using my PG58 mic and spend some more on the headphones, as I was gonna use them for mixing, just for now.
I'm not even sure if I should buy just cheap tracking headphones + a cheap (but good) monitor set like the M-Audio M40s (£100), although mixing during the night would be big plus.
As you can see, I'm very confused with all this options, and I'd appreciate someone else's opinion.
My budget is ideally something between £200 - £300, but the cheaper the better!
Thanks very much!
Victor
