10: Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD

The top spots among the best-selling audio interfaces in 2025 are taken by USB interfaces that focus primarily on low retail prices. This shows that price is the most important factor in customers’ purchasing decisions. The name Behringer appears more than once.

The U-Phoria UMC204HD meets this requirement naturally. Currently priced under €70, it offers two inputs, four outputs, MIDAS microphone preamps, a guitar input, and a 6.3 mm insert jack per channel for external signal processing. The converters enable sampling rates of up to 24-bit and 192 kHz. MIDI is also available, and the four RCA outputs (with an additional jack for Main OUT L/R) make this compact interface ideal for DJ applications and Ableton Live performances in clubs. It is available here at Thomann*.

More Information

No other manufacturer is as aware of the importance of the retail price as Behringer. Consider the U-Phoria UMC22, for example, which was the sixth best-selling audio interface at Thomann in 2025. Despite the manufacturer’s wide range of USB interfaces priced below €80, this model was still very successful in 2025, even with some outdated features. The converters “only” work with 16 bits (and 48 kHz), and the second input is suitable only for instrument signals. For some, this may be perfectly adequate. With a current price of €33, the interface is very attractive. Available here at Thomann*.

3: Focusrite Vocaster (One & Two)

Now, let’s move on to the third best-selling audio interface of 2025. The Focusrite Vocaster series secured this spot with its One and Two models. We took the freedom of adding up the sales figures for these two models; otherwise, the list would have been too boring. Incidentally, the Vocaster One has been sold more frequently and is slightly more successful.

More Information

These two USB-C interfaces were specifically developed for content production and streaming, offering different connections depending on the model. My favorite is definitely the Vocaster Two because, for just a few dollars more, it offers a few extra features, such as two microphone inputs and Bluetooth. Compare the two at Thomann*; you’ll also find a few bundles.

2: Focusrite Scarlet Solo

More Information

A few years ago, we published a similar list of the top manufacturers, and Focusrite was at the top of that list, too. It’s safe to say, then, that Focusrite is one of the most successful manufacturers of audio interfaces. The Scarlett Solo is currently available in two versions at Thomann. The third generation is more affordable, while the fourth generation has been slightly revised to include new preamps and converters, as well as features such as Auto Gain and Clip Safe. It also has new colored rings around the gain controls.

However, the essential features remain the same: It has 24-bit and 192 kHz resolution, one microphone input, one instrument/line input, two outputs, and a headphone jack. Personally, I would prefer two line-compatible inputs, and many others seem to agree, as evidenced by its number one ranking. Nevertheless, it’s a great interface that you can check out here at Thomann*.

1: Focusrite Scarlet 2i2

Drum roll, please! The number one best-selling audio interface of 2025 is the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is the most popular USB interface. This compact USB-C audio interface is compatible with both Mac and PC and features two high-quality mic/instrument/line inputs and two outputs. One of the special features of this series is the switchable Air function, which adds a little more high end to recordings, in the style of the manufacturer’s highly acclaimed ISA preamps, if desired.

Focusrite 2i2 ranks No. 1 among the best-selling audio interfaces in 2025.

The third and fourth generation versions of this interface are also still available from Thomann. In fact, the third generation is selling slightly better than the more recent, revised version. The price-to-performance ratio is simply too good! Check out both versions at Thomann*.
