Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD Review

Priced at $109.00, the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD is Behringer's entry in the audio interfaces category. With 203 buyers rating it at 4.6 stars, it currently sits at #27 of 47 in our rankings. It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.

Construction at $109.00 lands in the middle - adequate materials and decent assembly without standouts in either direction.

203 reviews and a 4.6-star average is a strong signal. At this scale, manufactured reviews would have to be unrealistically pervasive to move the score this much, which means the satisfaction is real for the typical buyer.

For context, the average rating across all 47 audio interfaces options we track is 4.3 stars, so this product is meaningfully above average.

At $109.00, the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD sits well above the $89.70 category average. 32 options are cheaper and 14 are more expensive.

The category leader is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen ($119.99, 4.6★, 34,030 reviews). The Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD is $10.99 cheaper, which is the main reason to pick it over the leader.

Higher-rated options in this category:

• Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 Audio Interface - $169.99, 5.0★ (1 reviews) · Higher rated
• Arturia MiniFuse 2 Audio Interface - $182.40, 4.7★ (2,182 reviews) · Higher rated
• Universal Audio Volt 276 USB Audio Interface - $299.00, 4.7★ (413 reviews) · Higher rated

If rating alone is your filter, the highest-rated option in this category is the Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 Audio Interface at 5.0★. If pure price is the filter, the cheapest is the QianLink USB to 3.5mm Audio Adapter 2-Pack at $4.99.

Maybe. Middle-of-the-pack on rating and price, no standout strengths. If a specific feature matches your need (look at the spec list), it's reasonable. Otherwise the top picks are safer bets.

Best fit for:

• Quality-first buyers who prioritize a track record of satisfaction over saving a few dollars

6.9/10

Functional, mid-pack option. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing pushing it above the better-ranked alternatives either.
