👎 Cons

The specific audio interface included is USB 2.0, which may be slower than newer USB 3.0 or USB-C interfaces.
The kit's components are primarily designed for studio or podcasting use, and may not be ideal for live performance environments.
The microphones are condenser type, which might require phantom power (provided by the AudioBox 96) and can be sensitive to ambient noise.
While the headphones offer sound isolation, they may not be completely noise-canceling for extremely loud environments.
The included headphone splitter cable is 1 ft, which might be short for some dual-user setups without additional extension.
