Another user who purchased the product to start a podcast found it not user friendly and expressed frustration with the tutorials. They mentioned difficulty in setting it up for recording or playback and were Considering returning it for a simpler system.

Additionally, another user expressed dissatisfaction with the device's performance, citing high latency and continuous crackling and noise issues. They found it unusable and raised concerns about its compatibility with M1 Macs due to substantial latency and disturbances. Despite the overall negative sentiments, some users praised the sound quality and the clarity of microphone recordings, especially for karaoke with loudspeakers.
