Pros

Being Class compliant, the device just 'plugs and plays' with modern operating systems. It's a convenient choice for people who want a hassle free 1x1 MIDI interface. A few prefer this interface over MIDI Y interface cables.

Cons

Some have mentioned its build is a bit flimsy and its shell casing wasn't all that solid. The blinking LED light was mentioned as a bit of a nuisance. Also it doesn't come with it's own MIDI cables.

This interface is a good choice if you prefer a compact interface over MIDI cable interfaces.
