The HD one is really that better or the iRig 2 is ok to have?** A: It depends on what you’re using them for. The HD is more for recording and the irig 2 is more for doing a live performance. The sound quality is way better on the HD especially if you ever want to record it to your DAW. The irig2 only uses 48khz while the irig HD uses 96khz. When it comes down to it the higher the kHz the better the input signal is. Hopefully this helps **Q: Does it let you hear through headphones and output to an amp at the same time?** A: Yep, cause the headphone is an output in stereo. You can also hook it into a tape deck or computer and record, or a PA system and your guitar would come through in stereo. The amp output is mono if you hook into your amp and want silent practice, plug the headphones in the amp. You'll like it very versatile and easy. Go to ikmanual.com/irig2 or youtube for demo's. **Q: does this work on a macbook pro 2009 edition???** A: From IK Multimedia: Mac®: Most Mac computers from 2008-2013 are compatible with the exception of the Mac Pro line. There are issues with 2014 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models as well as late 2013 iMac models, making them not compatible. **Q: Is there any lag when recording using iOS on Garageband?** A: There is some lag that is noticeable in a recording in a professional environment. I wouldn't use it for that but if you want to use it to record to remember a riff, than sure, it'll do. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by T***S on May 6, 2026* Worked very well, used it for worship tones at my church.

Close to the Irig HD 2 with distorted sounds. *by E***K on December 14, 2020* I have been playing guitar with a traditional cheap amp for years. Just dealt with it because I didnt have the money to buy expensive amps and get good tones. Then I found ios, tonebridge, interfaces and sims... Game changer... Let me say, before I tried this, I was convinced that interface tech needed to be powered. Using an analog piece like this to convert signal would just be impossible, would result in either latency or muddied sound... I tried it anyway for portability and trying my iPad with my guitar on tonebridge or garageband for the first time. WOW. I was wrong. This item works much better than expected. Can't believe its only $40 to be honest. Pros: - No latency. This was super surprising to me. - Inexpensive way to get your guitar hooked into an iOS device like an ipad. This unlocks a world of options, amps, and tones (see below). - Sounds fine. With amp sims and aws tools (tonebridge, garageband) you can boost nearly any level/frequency so you can make this piece sound great Cons: -Honestly none. Zero, and I went into this HATING this piece expecting it to fail; it did not. -Could mayyyybe say you wanted a beefier piece, or better tone, but come on, not for $40... Final Impression: If you play traditional guitar and amps and have never tried interfaces and amp sims, this is an eye opening experience, like finding the guitar for the first time all over. Get an ios device, even a $150 ipad, then get this interface (or the irig hd 2, see below). Plug it in and get FREE apps like garageband and Tone bridge, and you will get amps and sounds you NEVER thought possible without thousands of dollars. Note: Also bought the iRig HD 2 to compare. If your sounds have gain/distortion, the difference is actually much more subtle than I expected. The Irig sounds muddier then then HD, but only very slightly. Clean tones there is a more noticeable difference. I went with the Irig HD 2 because I am willing to spend 100$ vs 40$ for any little bit of clarity, but if I was on a tight budget, the Irig 2 would work fine. ## Frequently Bought Together - IK Multimedia iRig 2 portable guitar audio interface, lightweight audio adapter for iPhone and iPad with instrument input and headphone/amplfier outs - Apple MFi Certified 2 Pack Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter for iPhone, iPhone Aux Adapter Converter Dongle Audio Cable Compatible with iPhone 14 13 12 11 X XS 8 7 - Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/13421920-irig-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/13421920-irig-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
