I've got a pair of Behringer B-1's and a Yamaha MW8cx mixer
with USB and I'm very happy with this combo for the price.
The main downside is the mixer's USB soundcard is only 16
bit @ 48khtz. I'm using jackd at 256 frames and 3 periods
which gives 16 msec latency and mid-range pair of Sony
MDR-7506 headphones. It's a great system for recording
Skype interviews and screencast vocal tracks. Perhaps not
quite good enough for professional studio work in a "real"
studio but so far I am very happy with what I am hearing.
